[balmy cedar]

I like front ramps

I want my ships to land

Not turn around to park

[raven rover]

its a jungle

[fair pilot]

I do not remember who recommended me to use the guard rails on ladders, but I want to say "thank you" to this player again.

[balmy cedar]

Looks like it rose from the ruins

[raven rover]

yeah thats what i thought too

[fair pilot]

How many parts?

[balmy cedar]

Might write another short space pirate adventure actually

[raven rover]

but the newest update kinda ruined that build

[balmy cedar]

Ya'lls ships are inspiring

[fair pilot]

Btw, anyone using the photon cannon as only weapon?

[raven rover]

since the ambassador boosters now has trails

[balmy cedar]

Decor

[terse kestrel]

Helps a lot huh? Like if they would just make the handrails on ladders physical instead of visual assets it would be so much better

[raven rover]

idk, i use the no complexity mod, but i'd reckon its around 100-200

[fair pilot]

Wow nice

[raven rover]

i want to turn off these goddamn trails

[random zinc]

I don't understand what it means to use guard rails on ladders. Can you clue me in?

[raven rover]

the stairs handrails dont have collision

so you just slide off

[raven rover]

using a actual barrier as rails prevent that

yeah that

[terse kestrel]

Decoration barricades at an angle along the sides of the ladder

[wet shuttle]

how do you get a usable single chair? all the ones i have access to just spin...

[raven rover]

anomaly fam

[terse kestrel]

And not only keeps you from falling off the sides but creates a hard point on either side to shrink up the hole at the top. Keeping you from falling through less

[raven rover]

anyone sometimes gets damaged when entering your ship?

i sometimes bump my head or smth

💀

[terse kestrel]

Yeah it happens at the anomaly sometimes. I think it's when two ships are meshed together and you clip through. Creating a collision

[raven rover]

thats the funny thing

it happened outside of the anomaly for me

i dont go into the anomaly anyways

like it sometimes happens on the space station

which is weird

[terse kestrel]

If you break the physics of your ship through meshing, offsetting or modding it you're going to have weird collision of physics inside your ship.

[raven rover]

hmm

[terse kestrel]

Like trying to put some base parts on your ship and it starts slamming into invisible walls.

[raven rover]

i didnt put any decos

[random zinc]

ok great, now I have to find that barrier thing on the construction tech tree.

[raven rover]

and the whole entrance thing has no offsetted parts

[random zinc]

thanks

[balmy cedar]

Can I take the living plant decor from the quicksilver shop and just slap it on my corvette?

[terse kestrel]

It's in the second list of decorations at the anomaly vendor

[terse kestrel]

Yeah. Most decorations can be placed. But there's usually a maximum and minimum size your decorations can be. Depending on where you're trying to place it

[balmy cedar]

Yea

[raven rover]

also, the friggin normal landing feet doesnt work 😭

[balmy cedar]

I kinda knew about the min max

Take this for instance

[random zinc]

what is "meshing" your ship?

[balmy cedar]

No idea

[raven rover]

probs glitching meshes

glitching stuff basicall

y

[balmy cedar]

All these pics are a day old bc I'm waiting for my place of employment to open the doors

[terse kestrel]

You can use various posters and decals as carpet and flooring in the Corvette.

Really cleans the place up

[balmy cedar]

IK

I want a dirty ship

[raven rover]

theres one that looks like a bus seat pattern

[terse kestrel]

Some of these interiors are just hideous and I try to hide them as much as possible

[balmy cedar]

Why have everything clean?

[raven rover]

which is so funny to me

[balmy cedar]

I love the speedbird habs for that kinda messy exposed cable look

[raven rover]

or like a old arcade carpet

[balmy cedar]

There's only one carpet abpard my vessel

The captain's quarters

[terse kestrel]

😭

[balmy cedar]

Very nice

Party vibe

[fair pilot]

I wish we could change the ship light colors too. Yellow looks great on them

[raven rover]

oh i just realized, i was referring to your ship

[random zinc]

I wish the left side of ambassador (double) habs didn't have that glitchy separator when only one wall-mounted unit is installed

[terse kestrel]

Somebody said it looked like bowling alley carpet.

[raven rover]

The bus seat thing

[balmy cedar]

I like my ships to range depending on what they are yk?

Like my Sr2 normandy build needs an interior, so it'll get a clean inside

[raven rover]

i think its time i make a junker ship

[exotic spruce]

I just made this - I tend to fall off the Tunderbird platform

[raven rover]

im done with edgy ass designs

[terse kestrel]

What I like about the ambassador Habs is the ceiling features allow you to hide plenty of things up in the ceiling. Out of sight.

[balmy cedar]

I like making a kind of space pirate vessel

[fair pilot]

First orbital speed in process

[balmy cedar]

The kind that screams "Oh yeah, he's a broke ahh dirty pirate,"

[terse kestrel]

Like I got a save point in the ceiling of one. Two mobile refiners in another ceiling

[balmy cedar]

Cargo boxes everywhere I can cram them

[terse kestrel]

Increase its functionality without impacting any visual aesthetics

[balmy cedar]

And plants to recycle air

[fair pilot]

Stop describing my corvette.

[balmy cedar]

I won't

[raven rover]

i need to experiment more with those new tube parts

looks really cool

might work really good on a junker design

[exotic spruce]

bubble pipes?

[raven rover]

no

the uh

the new corvette parts

the one that looks like tubes

[balmy cedar]

The atlas parts?

[random zinc]

is it predictable when editing your corvette will eat the parts inside and when it won't?

[raven rover]

nonono

whats the word...

[terse kestrel]

Nope. Totally random

[balmy cedar]

Nope

[exotic spruce]

oh yeah the white and the red one I use to clip items - haven't had inspiration from them yet - look forward to what you come up with!

[raven rover]

the one that you shoot in other games and they go boom

[terse kestrel]

Anymore I don't place any decorations until I feel the build is 100% complete

[raven rover]

gas tanks thing

[terse kestrel]

😂

[raven rover]

imma just open the game

[random zinc]

me too, but I'm often wrong

[balmy cedar]

The fuel canisters?

[raven rover]

Yeah those

Wait

[balmy cedar]

Cool beans IG

[random zinc]

you mean the hot dogs or the other ones?

[raven rover]

Is that the actual name?

Yes hotdogs

And the caged hotdogs

[terse kestrel]

If you have that bug happen the easiest way to fix it is to take scaffolding parts and just start placing them all over your corvette. Eventually you will place one and the message about parts not being connected will go away.

THAT tells you exactly what part of your Corvette it happened in

Makes it much easier to narrow it down

[random zinc]

no I mean about feeling it's 100% complete

[exotic spruce]

I really REALLY need a noclip mod when someone pushes me into geometry in the Anomaly. 🙁

[raven rover]

Glad i dont do decorations so i havent encountered the all parts need to be connected bug

Mustve been frustrating

[terse kestrel]

What? You don't like being pushed behind the counter of the Quicksilver vendor?

[exotic spruce]

it is, especially without an UNDO button in the corvette designer

[fair pilot]

oh hell, undo/redo is sooooooooooo needed

[random zinc]

I haven't encountered that persoally. I only get it when something is actually disconnected.

[random zinc]

hear, hear!

[exotic spruce]

I don't like getting pushed into the walls of my corvette from soneone else land and having to reload an autosave just to get out 🙂

[raven rover]

HG : no undo

Best i can offer? Begin new design

😭

Thats why i save regularly

We have an undo button at home

[terse kestrel]

Quickly build a chair that you can sit in. Sit down and stand up. Oftentimes it pops you out the top.

It works too if you teleport to a base and end up in your Corvette

[random zinc]

If you could store several unfinished designs, that might help a little

[terse kestrel]

The chair from the Quicksilver vendor will do it

[exotic spruce]

I will give that a shot, thanks Zarkan

[raven rover]

I store my ship in the nomansapp

neat thing

So i dont have to nuke my old designs

Feelsbad

[exotic spruce]

all of our grumblings aside I hope HG knows how Corvettes breathed new life into the game for a lot of us

[raven rover]

realest shit

I had 500 hrs before corvettes dropped

I took a long ass break

Came back when corvettes dropped

Boom

Im almost at 1k now

[terse kestrel]

The amount of new players coming into the game, old players returning and old YouTubers coming back shows that they really hit the nail on the head with the Corvettes.

[raven rover]

In the span of 1.5 months

💀

And 14 corvette designs

[exotic spruce]

Microsoft/Bethesda/Starfield is like IRONMAN- Hello Games was able to build this in a cave, with a box of scraps!.webm

[terse kestrel]

Exactly the same. Between living ships and the origin updates I spent so much time in game I got burnt out. Came back when I saw Corvettes and a new race

[random zinc]

I didn't come back because of corvettes. I didn't even know that they were added, but my return after 8 years did coincide with Voyagers.

[raven rover]

but like theres a lot of players that complains that corvettes are unusable

And very buggy to the point of being unusable

Which i was like? wat are these players doing to be getting all of these "gamebreaking" bugs

[terse kestrel]

Show me a Reddit post where somebody complains about Corvettes and I will point to the top comment explaining something about the mechanics that they didn't know about

[raven rover]

Its buggy yes but not unusable

[terse kestrel]

Most people just don't take the time to figure out how to build and use Corvettes properly. But once you figure it out it's easy to replicate over and over

[random zinc]

Yes they are buggy, but I've adjusted my base (and my corvette) to work aroun these bugs :}

[exotic spruce]

other than the spinning while accellerating bug getting reintroduced in multiple patches Corvettes are everything I've ever needed in the game (besides maybe a living ship or landing pads)

[terse kestrel]

About 30 minutes of quickly watching some videos or asking some questions and you're good to go. They are not that deep

[raven rover]

some players even complain and wont ever use corvettes bcs they get stuck when teleporting to their bases

[terse kestrel]

Those of us who use these rotation, offsetting and other glitch methods are an extremely small minority of players.

[random zinc]

the only killer feature corvettes are missing are teleporters 🙂

[terse kestrel]

Out of the millions who play this game you only see a few thousand watching the tutorial videos that explain it

[raven rover]

Its not that hard to switch before teleporting man... ik its a oversight but swapping cant be that hard

[raven rover]

Real

[raven rover]

Yeah

[exotic spruce]

well, that part sucks - the corvette SHOULD be your base replacement (for a rambling guy like me) and also could be solved with a base part that places the corvette 30 feet hovering above the base part when teleporting

[raven rover]

I dont see that much glitched builds in the anomaly

[terse kestrel]

Nope

[terse kestrel]

I know what I'm looking for and it's rare to see them.

[raven rover]

It does suck but that doesnt warrant a "corvettes are unusable" type of complaint

[exotic spruce]

literally just saw this 🙂

[terse kestrel]

But at the same time I will say that some people who do not know any of the glitch methods still managed to create some truly good looking ships.

[raven rover]

not a lot in my experience honestly 😭

[terse kestrel]

It's like their creativity is stifled because they have to work within the system bounds. But they end up being more creative due to those restrictions

[raven rover]

Like most of the time i just see normal builds

[remote cape]

I had my Corvette glitch inside of the building my teleporter is in. I was able to get outside and just recall my ship to get it out.

[terse kestrel]

I see a problem in shipbuilding and I use one of many workarounds to make it happen. They see a problem and have to figure out how to make it work.

[random zinc]

Is using a temporary hab to place a reactor above the hatch considered a glitch?

[raven rover]

Yep

[terse kestrel]

So in the end the people who don't use these glitches are more creative. Because they're forced to be

[golden tundra]

My main corvette, the left side is the dark sheep of the family,, without undo I must be 100% sure before removing anything or I'll have to remove a lot to put that piece back 🤦

[raven rover]

i used to not use the no complexity mod

I made 3 ships

But then i tried using the mod

Its like crack

Cant go back now

[terse kestrel]

Yep

That's actually why I prefer playing on console. Prevents me from using a save editor or shortcutting myself. I can't stop myself from doing it

[exotic spruce]

probably do that most of the time even when I don't stack parts on my builds Inxi

[terse kestrel]

I will mod all the fun out of a game if it lets me

[remote cape]

Going over the limit doesn't cause any problems?

[raven rover]

first 3 is within 100

And no glitches at all

[raven rover]

Nope

Unless you go like 500 parts

Itll load slower but thats it

[exotic spruce]

funny with all my base building parts usage I've only approached 80 out of 100 parts warnings maybe twice on builds

[random zinc]

I do use the propeller and ducting outlet glitches

[terse kestrel]

Breaking build limits, adding parts that shouldn't be on your ship and other manipulative mechanics can always end up breaking the physics of your ship. Or making it difficult to walk around it.

When doing this stuff it's often good to give it some test flights in between the building. Just to make sure you're not breaking your ship in the process

[raven rover]

I didnt even know how to offset 😭

[random zinc]

and most recently used the hab rotation to stack reactors to remove a storey

[raven rover]

When i made that first 3

[dusky salmon]

What should I do to this cosmetically

[exotic spruce]

That is beautiful WhrStrsG - if short range teleports worked I'd totally try making one of those placing the cockpit in the center

[terse kestrel]

Like if you want to glitch a teleporter onto your Corvette you can. It won't work but it's physically stable. It won't break your flight mechanics.

But a nutrient processor? If you glitch that on your ship you will likely start running into invisible walls. Spinning out of control

[remote cape]

So HG can essentially increase the limit a bit and we'd be ok. I'm on PlayStation so mods aren't an option for me.

[dusky salmon]

I wish they worked, it would be so much easier to get into 😭

[raven rover]

The breaking build limits doesnt break your physics, but the others yeah

[terse kestrel]

This is also why they took away the method to build vertically by using a base computer. Because it was extremely unstable, breaking ship flight and save files

[random zinc]

you mean the kitchen wall thing?

[exotic spruce]

yeah the 45 degree glitch was my first glitch to make swpt back wings - fond memories

[raven rover]

I have a 400 part ship and the interior and flight is absolutely fine

[terse kestrel]

No the ground-based portable nutrient processor. I tried to put one of those on the ship so I could get away with not using the kitchen. It didn't work at all

[random zinc]

that one is too complicated for me

[raven rover]

Wasnt that just a accidental fix?

[terse kestrel]

You can also place Windows anywhere you want on your Corvette allowing you to manipulate angles wildly. This is currently the only method to easily build vertically anymore

[raven rover]

Like they made the corvette float now instead of landing

Which in turn made it impossible to build on

[terse kestrel]

Think it's them attempting to stop it from colliding with you when you teleport into the base. Like it can't be both ways

[raven rover]

Yup

[random zinc]

so I use 3 glitch techniques and the temporary hab trick. I feel so ashamed... but it did make my corvette look better.

[raven rover]

And that took away the vertical glitch for vanilla builders

😔

Truly a sad day

[exotic spruce]

it's a piece of cake, I think it was CrissCross or someone else who made a three min video - just gotta be in first person turn on flash light and lay two reactors to force you to approach a reactor - line up with the dot on the bottom place a whindow at 45 degree blammo - you're glitching with POWER

[terse kestrel]

Even on console vanilla you can still build vertically. But you have to use the trick where you go out the back of your access ramp in space and place a window over the access ramp. Pointed up

[random zinc]

what vertical glitch was that

[raven rover]

Yep

[terse kestrel]

That method still works

[raven rover]

Yup

[terse kestrel]

https://youtu.be/Dfdj2-5yq_s?si=2fkFi6tMZlRcQ9n-

[raven rover]

Kinda have to fiddle with it a lot tho

thank god im on pc so i can just mod it

[random zinc]

I've done it, and I feel it's too complicated for me. If I have to edit my corvette after doing that, it'd be bad.

[terse kestrel]

Very important part of that which the video does not explain

You want to use the Titan access ramp when you do it. But the decal of the triangle and the light on the roof of the ramp are slightly to the left of center

[raven rover]

Really hoping HG brings back the settlement vertical glitch

Kinda sad that thats gone

[terse kestrel]

So if you want to center the window on your access ramp you have to build it slightly to the right of visual center.

Lined up more with the seat of your cockpit then the decals and lights on the roof

[exotic spruce]

it gets easier with practice, but yeah some things like that do get harder if you change your mind mid-build, or sneeze while selecting a vital part that you glitched in place to belin with

[raven rover]

Wait does this only work vertically?

[raven rover]

Like 90° only

[terse kestrel]

That's how I got those vertical boosters. And I'm on Xbox

[exotic spruce]

can't tell if robot or vaccum cleaner 🙂

[terse kestrel]

Once you get good at placing it and know where it's going to attach itself you can figure out various angles to place it at

[raven rover]

Or is there a way to do vertical rotations on vanilla

[raven rover]

Ah

[random zinc]

it's a vacuum cleaner

[raven rover]

So its just not 90°

Thats good to know

[terse kestrel]

Suck! Suck! Suck!

[foggy monolith]

if my ships do anything less than 50,000 dps im highly dissatisfied

[random zinc]

the one from Spaceballs: the Movie

[raven rover]

this the part i was talkin about before

looks cool

[terse kestrel]

9-year-old me wanted the Spaceballs flamethrower so badly

[foggy monolith]

thats because my ships a flying gun

[raven rover]

time to say goodbye to this ship, i hate you

[terse kestrel]

You should watch what happens to your maneuverability when you place those. Depending on where I put them on my ship it was kicking it down by 15 to 20 per tank

[raven rover]

nah i dont care about maneuver

[exotic spruce]

you can buy real flamethrowers online (in the US)

[terse kestrel]

My dad had a propane torch that he had to keep locked up. I'd say it was his fault for letting me watch some of the movies he let me watch

[exotic spruce]

You don't what you got, till it's gone. You'll miss it one day after the Altas Edge era passes

[raven rover]

i fly these on a regular basis

[golden tundra]

Do we just sell it for scrap like normal ship??

[terse kestrel]

HMS Muddy Brick

[raven rover]

😔 i still have 2 edgy ships

[raven rover]

no

strip it

[terse kestrel]

Atlas Edge era 😂

[raven rover]

[terse kestrel]

Zycrom and I were just talking about how edgy those parts are. And you have to be careful because the more you use them the edgier your you become

[exotic spruce]

I play creative mode since farming parts got old weeks ago and just trade for a class C ship salvage it then sell scrap.

[raven rover]

If only

[terse kestrel]

I have become him. The Edge lord. Builder of sick Corvettes

[raven rover]

I can color the thing other than majorly black

It wont be as edgy

Im friggin stuck with black

[terse kestrel]

Brown Atlas parts give it an ancient and archaic look

[night merlin]

Anyone have any good resources for making better corvettes? mine always look really bulky

[terse kestrel]

But those are colors I pulled from the freighter color pool

[raven rover]

this is ass

[terse kestrel]

Oh and if you're wanting a hot rod pink Corvette swap colors of pink and teal inverted from bass parts to your Corvette.

I need to build a proper hot rod for that

[raven rover]

i hate that we can only change the color of the small parts

not thw whole thing

[exotic spruce]

You cna get rose pink from the stone base roof dome

[terse kestrel]

Weirdly enough when you swap out freighter and bass parts to entire Corvette builds it often colors some parts that it normally doesn't. When just using Corvette colors

[raven rover]

bruh moment

[terse kestrel]

That's edgy af

[raven rover]

PLEASE HG

[wind thunder]

crazy

[raven rover]

STOP WITH THESE FORCED 2 COLOR THING

😭 😭 😭

[terse kestrel]

Yes! Thank you. I didn't realize there was another completely different color pool in those stones

[raven rover]

I love and hate it

[terse kestrel]

Yeah the Corvette parts are highly contrasted primary and secondary colors.

This is where base and freighter colors help. Because there's a bigger selection of similar primary and secondaries.

[raven rover]

i love the cream but despise the green

[terse kestrel]

Like brown and tan. Dark green and light green. Dark blue and light blue

[raven rover]

[raven rover]

how do i get the freighter one

[terse kestrel]

It messyes the colors together so much better on corvettes. Rather than the highly contrasting ones available

[raven rover]

i know of the base one

[terse kestrel]

One of the tavern signs. Those light up bar signs from the Quicksilver vendor

[raven rover]

Ah

Those are freighter colors?

I see

[terse kestrel]

Yeah

[raven rover]

Ty for the info

[terse kestrel]

I only use that one because it sticks up more and it's easier to select when it's wedged on your corvette. You can still use some of the wall lockers and panels for your freighter to access those colors

[raven rover]

this might still be salvageable...

[terse kestrel]

And then once you place those colors from the freighter you can select the base part object and change it s coloring using wood, concrete, Stone and rust.

[trail hornet]

"salvageable" and it's perfection

[raven rover]

oooh thats neat

[terse kestrel]

It doesn't transfer the wood or stone textures. But it still changes the color. In the end there are dozens of color combinations available through that

[raven rover]

only looks good from that angle 😭

[trail hornet]

lemme see another angle then lol

[raven rover]

shits fuckin horrendous from the side

[terse kestrel]

Brown one that I posted above was freighter part Brown retextured as Stone in base parts

[trail hornet]

oh...

[raven rover]

like it looks good from the top and back

[trail hornet]

top view looks SICK tho

[raven rover]

but the side...

absolute dogshit

[trail hornet]

i've always wanted to try a jet look

[raven rover]

try the new aeron blade parts

they look great on jet builds

[trail hornet]

i'll keep note of that

i havent used them since the expedition but i wanna try again

[raven rover]

Yeaa try it again

[trail hornet]

is this vanilla?

like no mods

[raven rover]

Hell nah

But the only mods is the no complexity mod

You can absolutely get the same shape

[trail hornet]

ah thats cool

[raven rover]

The glitches are completely vanilla

[trail hornet]

i keep forgetting 45° angles are possible lol

[raven rover]

Yeahhh

this was the skeleton

[trail hornet]

i'm prob gonna try some tmrw because i'm busy with school work and making gifts for my gf lol

[raven rover]

ahh goodluck then

[trail hornet]

niiice

thank you

anyways i gotta get to work now lol, nice build, and goodluck working on it lmao

[raven rover]

Thanks 🙏

np!

[terse kestrel]

Decals and other objects on your access ramp will do it all the time. And they float when you close your ramp

[exotic spruce]

Represent!

So you know the saying about getting enough monkeys with typewriters and eventually you’ll get Shakespeare…?

Does anyone see the resemblance to the old 80’s movie “The Last Starfighter”?

https://www.reddit.com/r/NMS_Corvette_Design/s/YoduI0DAin

[exotic spruce]

I do!

[random zinc]

silly question. If the hull linkages lower your mobility, why have them?

[terse kestrel]

Aesthetically they blend really well into a lot of parts. And less bulky than just going with Habs

[random zinc]

yeah, that kinda sucks 🙁

less bulky = less maneuverability

[visual monolith]

My corvette has 1000 by itself

😭

[random zinc]

I apparently have 79 parts

[visual monolith]

I got a little silly and glitched base parts onto my corvette build

[random zinc]

because if I add one, I get that warning

[visual monolith]

Rip

[random zinc]

I don't want to break anyone when I go into a shared space, but people usually break me, so MP is usually off so maybe I shouldn't worry about this?

this is an example of spiraling into madness

[visual monolith]

You’re losing it

You gotta wake up

This isn’t real

Wake up

[errant depot]

Didn’t think I was gonna be able to enter this one because the free camera couldn’t, but apparently the player hitbox is a bit thinner than the camera

I like this design more than the last one because there’s no need for a platform to be able to use the teleporter

[terse kestrel]

"it just works"

[light sierra]

how do i get rid of the Communication station

[visual monolith]

It’s

It’s beautiful

[errant depot]

It can even be flown in first person with almost no visual obstruction (previously the window provided limited visibility)

[visual monolith]

My F35 phantom corvette is the same way

[terse kestrel]

"No visual obstruction"

[errant depot]

Comparison of the previous microvette design to the new one

[errant depot]

Thats a different ship silly billy

[terse kestrel]

I liked it because it was like I was on a bridge with a view screen ala Star Trek.

And the ambassador cockpit is perfect for that. It makes it feel like you're in a command chair

[errant depot]

Nice, the window setup is similar to the other microvette I made
The second design has the cockpit offset so that the seat is outside of the window
(Well at first it was offset so I could use the thunderbird entrance but it happened to work out with the window thing too)

in the storage racks? nope

[cobalt flame]

I just love how much you can stow away in those Titan Heavy Boosters. Each has a Medusa, Azimuth, 2 Defense Fields, an Infra-knife Platform and a Pyrodrive stuffed into them, and an Arcadia Sublight Thruster attached to it.
Nice small ship full of everything. 😄
(except living space and storage...)

[terse kestrel]

You can fit all of that into the space of one Titan heavy booster

Including another Titan heavy booster 😂

That's two Titan boosters, 3 Medusa, an azimuth and a zenith

[cobalt flame]

Yeah, those Titan Heavy's mirror great in between habs. Couldn't mirror them in this build, though.

So, I'm using 2 Titan Heavy's boosters stuffed with the above mentioned.

[errant depot]

You can use backwards habs and offsets to fit things into even less space
This is all 4 types of reactor, a phase cannon, a widebody thruster, and an Aeron shield all in the space of 1 full hab length

The Azumith reactor isn’t visible but it is inside of the Zenith

Wait I’m blind that’s roughly the same amount of space you used

[slow harbor]

i have fit 3 of each reactor and 3 shields into 3x1.5 and the same into 2.5x2 with 2 spaces left over and occupied by linkages for the good looks

[fair pilot]

Ain't game fucked up my tech slots on corvette yet again...

[hallow verge]

hope it gets fixed soon ññ

[hexed thicket]

In this case, just using a half-grid offset. Either of the short dual-thruster pieces will work.

[abstract crow]

Damn. My idea to build a cruiser with the Aeron Blades serving as the hull instead of Arcadia wings has been foiled. Too much of a gap...

[hexed thicket]

I keep remaking my "main" ship. At some point I think I ought to stop making corvettes and go actually play the game for a bit.
This is the "Void Dancer". Nicely angular silhouette for this one.

[abstract crow]

Here's my dilemma. That gap is too large imo. No real way to deal with it. Maybe I'm exaggerating and it's not as bad as I think it is. Worst-case scenario, I resort to the base builder to move that entire layer down a bit. I really don't want to do that, though.

[agile hamlet]

You need more hydrogen!

I'd love a way to open up habs and offset them horizontally so you could have 2 stacked on top of each other next to a single hab that is between the stacked 2 height-wise and then put the storage modules in the stacked areas to minimize the space required to access all 10 storage parts

[willow lichen]

I love me a tiny corvette

[agile hamlet]

A visual of my idea

[terse kestrel]

A brick with a brick stitched to it?

[agile hamlet]

A hab with two habs offset to the left of it with storage modules so you can access twice as many from one hallway

Has more of a smuggler feel

[remote cape]

I made some changes to my Corvette. I think it turned out good. I just hope they'll fix the pill light glitch, so they stop turning off all the time.

[terse kestrel]

So you would have to access the other storage through the walls? Hidden behind the other hab?

Like activating stuff through the floor?

[agile hamlet]

That is why I mentioned having open habs in my initial post #nms-corvette-discussion message

[hallow verge]

wdym..............

[agile hamlet]

Zeppelin joke

[tame patio]

I might be stupid as my corvette is wasting a tech slot on the craftable B launch tech since I already got 2 Azimuth reactors and enough other launch drive stuff to not need it. Plus I can then add one more trail to make a + shape of figures and starship trails.

[errant depot]

Here’s 10 storage units in the smallest space I think I can get them

[agile hamlet]

Yeah, it would be cool if you could flip them and put two on one side

[errant depot]

Oooh you mean flip them vertically and have them work like half a wall

[agile hamlet]

Horizontally, so one is on top of the other

[errant depot]

Those red triangles you drew are vertically flipped, horizontal flippage is possible and is what has been done in this hallway

[agile hamlet]

Bah, I just changed my corvette thinking that a part was in the way preventing the landing bay ramp from opening completely. The ramp still opens straight out instead of going down. Frustrating.

[agile hamlet]

Gotcha. Apparently I misunderstood vertical and horizontal flips for ever. I just figured if you were flipping horizontally you were flipping along the horizon. Oops.

[terse kestrel]

How do you open up the hab to walk through after offsetting it through another? The end normally closes up

[trail hornet]

flipped over the horizontal axis

[errant depot]

Door

[trail hornet]

so horizontal flip

[terse kestrel]

Where's the door for a Corvette?

[errant depot]

Titan-class loading bay

[terse kestrel]

Oh like that?

[agile hamlet]

How do I report the ramp opening partially?

[terse kestrel]

But when I try to attach another hab to it that second half closes off

[terse kestrel]

It's only supposed to partially open while you are hovering.

While you're hovering it's supposed to create a platform. Instead of a ramp

[agile hamlet]

It does it in space, though, too - I had to add a ladder to access the wreckage in the expedition.

[golden tundra]

It takes so much space, I hoped it was like freighter where you can move left and right to access them but nope, you must physically access them like a base.
Personally, I hated it 😅

[errant depot]

In the screenshot, the camera is in a titan-class loading bay. There is another one right in front of it, which opens up the offset habs.

[trail hornet]

thats normal

[errant depot]

I just opted for not having storage units or just having one and changing it out depending on what I need

[agile hamlet]

Normal doesn't mean that it works in all situations.

[terse kestrel]

Okay I got you now. Nice trick. Going to add that one to the list. Thank you

[trail hornet]

its normal for hovering and flying

it opens fully when you're docked or landed afaik

[terse kestrel]

Though because of collision issues related to the Corvette it does bug out on whether it decides to be a platform or a ramp.

These are the same issues as to why landing feet and platforms don't quite work yet

[errant depot]

The vertical loading bay doesn’t do the hald-opening thing

[terse kestrel]

Is it just me or is that an album cover in the making?

[agile hamlet]

The Return of Daft Punk, in collaboration with Pink Floyd

[golden tundra]

Same, I am always warping with the freighter anyway coz of the planetary scanner so I can access all the storage within that system
I only added 2 refiners and 2 nutrition bay

[golden tundra]

It is simple but has everything I need

[agile hamlet]

I condensed my storage down by having the Thrusters go through half of the hab. You can walk on one side to access the storage units.
The hab above the Thrusters is where storage is located.

[terse kestrel]

Peak efficiency

[twin coyote]

how tuff is this?

[terse kestrel]

It looks like if you throw out some creature pellets it'll roll over on its back side and ask for a fuselage rubs

[twin coyote]

wat

[terse kestrel]

😂

[twin coyote]

wat

[autumn olive]

This is the glitch I have been dealing with since the expedition. During it and out of it on my main save in a different corvette. I can no longer land in stations. Cannot launch exit from freighters.

It’s making the game unplayable with a corvette. Any help appreciated. Multiplayer has been toggled off and on to no difference.

[twin coyote]

restart your computer?

[golden tundra]

I would definitely post this on X and tag HG but be kind, bugs like this can make you unleash the demons 😅

[twin coyote]

uninstall and reinstall it?

[autumn olive]

On xbox series X. Rebooted multiple times. Restarted game multiple times.

Ship is not modded or glitch built (idk how to even do it)

Uninstall may be my best bet at this point 🙁

[autumn olive]

I made a ticket for them regarding my corvette being invisible and unusable after the breach expedition and copy.

I’m hesitant to make another one so soon but that’s not a bad idea.

[errant depot]

Here’s my main corvette on my main save
It’s simple,

[golden tundra]

I don't think that works coz of the way the game works.
After the organic ship mission, I went back to the same portal and it was still activate taking me back to the planet even tho I finished the mission a dozens hours ago.
I had to play around to reset the portal like it was supposed to be, some things are in-game

[errant depot]

As for the one microvette I built with an interior on my creative save
It’s

[autumn olive]

Oof. That sounds like a rough one.

I’m hoping someone has a fix for it. I just hit 100 hours in the game and I don’t want to have to start all over again. Worried all my corvette stuff is broken since the expedition. I’ve stopped flying in my main one just to spare it.

[golden tundra]

Lift behind the cockpit is so everything, scanning in 360 degree without landing drama or when doing stuff that requires you to find another stuff, that makes things a lot easier coz the place is always like 500u from me

[golden tundra]

Have you tried another save, build any silly corvette to test it???

[agile hamlet]

Can you put a hab on the back of the lift?

[golden tundra]

hell yeah, look my video shared above, normal

[autumn olive]

Not yet. I’ve been hesitant to start over. I don’t have a lot of spare time and getting to this point of the game again is a task I’m not sure I’m up to. If it comes to that I’ll probably just be a lurker here and find a different game.

[agile hamlet]

I've never used the lift.

[golden tundra]

I have the lift there coz of the 360 scanning and coz I find it too long to walk all the way to the cockpit, it makes life so much easier

[floral berry]

That’s a good reason

[golden tundra]

I mean, not fully start over just until you get access to the space station and see what happens.
You could also change the game style from normal to creative, the game mechanics change when you do that, I would believe that if everything works fine, changing back to normal will fix it.

There is no negative effect on that, folks change to creative move temporarily so they can build corvettes coz you have access to all parts.
I would give that a fair try, hopefully that fixes the game mechanics coz that is what is broken, when it changed from community mode to normal mode

[autumn olive]

Ohh!!! Thank you! Okay I’m going to try that. Super helpful! I appreciate it @golden tundra 🥹🥹🥹🥹🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[golden tundra]

Fingers crossed that fixes it

[errant depot]

I use the lift for this

[golden tundra]

Wait....WHAT???
I have that same teleport but within the bridge room taking me outside above the bridge, but since I got the corvette, I haven't spent time going out to notice where it is parked 🤦
That is so everything lmao

I am so trying this tonight lmao

[errant depot]

The teleporter in the bridge room goes to outside of the fleet control room area, there’s 2 teleporters outside the bridge going to areas like that on either side of the freighter
I used the slide glitch to make those platforms go all the way out to the corvette landing area

[agile hamlet]

I have mine set up similarly so I can get in and out quickly. I have havs wrapped around each side for the parts of the ship that aren't as time reliant to get to. I also wanted a window to watch for departures and arrivals.

[golden tundra]

I am so giving my freighter base some love tonight, it drives me nuts how long it takes to beam to the corvette. Everything is already in place, I might just need to move the teleport a bit to the corvette entrance and I am golden

Thank you legends

[agile hamlet]

I've only been to my freighter twice since Corvettes dropped.

I think that a corvette teleporter should be in the freighter bridge - there are two teleporters - just change one to the corvette

[balmy cedar]

I use my freighter regularly with my corvette to extend my warp range by double

[golden tundra]

Corvette is missing planet scanners and frigate expeditions, I warp with mine and then get out to explore with the corvette and have full access to the 10x storages anywhere within that system. One complement the other

[errant depot]

Here’s another trick: I used to have the discovery room where the teleporter is, but I started using the glitch techniques and was able to shrink & move the discovery table into the bridge

[golden tundra]

I am playing NMS as vanilla as possible, the only glitch I am really using which is not really a glitch is the corvette parts offset. Glitch makes life easier but sometimes it gives you hell if you wanna move things around so I avoid them all

[lean breach]

Perhaps it is a persistent bug with copying corvetts? Mine was also empty once i copied it from the breach expedition, had to make a new one.

I wonder if it's possible to softlock yourself by selling all your starships except the empty bugged one? Could be funny

[fair pilot]

Why I cannot place any decoration on the back of my corvette? May it be because the part got out of bound when I built it?
Can I glitch it somehow to not rebuild the whole ass 'vette?

[golden tundra]

To be fair, a lot of players strongly recommend to have a save just for the expeditions coz things can go wrong spectacularly.
I didn't, so far so good ( knocking the wood ), there is one care where the player save went RIP, if you are on PC you can manually backup the save but if you are on console like me, well, there is nothing you can do

[golden tundra]

Base parts on the outside??? I noticed they are annoying and very few places will accept some or not accept them at all

[lean breach]

Oh wait, you can? Thought this game won't take save manipulation too kindly

[golden tundra]

I will risk saying that 99% of Steam players do manual backup from their save

[fair pilot]

Just decorum, wanted to slap the light table here, because these parts annoying me.

[agile hamlet]

I tend to copy/paste my save folder before loading a new update

[lean breach]

Permadeath cheese is real

[left depot]

Anyone ever seen anything like this?

We have a corvette crashing players, trying to figure out what parts he's using

[golden tundra]

I am maturing the idea of buying NMS on Steam again (my laptop sucked playing it so I returned ) so I can manually do a backup once here and there.
Cloud save sync is enabled already

[left depot]

dooooo iiiiiit

[agile hamlet]

I only play it on Steam. My PS2 won't run it. 😉

[golden tundra]

My laptop isn't the worst but can't get any decent FPS and I am too used to 4k/1440p to accept 1080p so I moved to XSX and I love this game

[lean breach]

Biblically accurate corvette

[left depot]

It's crashing console players pretty hard, he's wrapping entire bases.

[golden tundra]

ohhh the beauty of offline play mode 😌

If you wanna see things going sideways, Anomaly Station with multiplayer enabled

Late night mine inspection

[twin coyote]

[terse kestrel]

I wonder how my settlers feel watching me Park my multi-billion dollar spacecraft over their houses while they are deep in crippling debt and eating Facieum 🤔

[twin coyote]

terrible

wait

why are they eating facieum

and why are they very deep in debt?

also

[terse kestrel]

Because I'm a horrible overseer

[twin coyote]

just today

I just beat 3 dreadnoughts

in a row...

the major set back with dreadnoughts

NO DEFENCE WITH THE SHEIDS

[golden tundra]

I finally went over all the side quests and finished "A Trace of Metal" which then allows you to be removed as overseer. It is the only thing I dislike very much, 1h for a bloody building to build and mine kept getting raided by sentinels, now they are on their own for good 😅

[twin coyote]

omg man

DOES NO ONE CARE FOR THEIR COLONYS?!

[golden tundra]

"those are rookie numbers" 😅
My corvette cyclotron is 47k damage, it eats Dreadnought for lunch and dinner
I was taking 2min30 with my sentinel to get it to surrender, with my corvette?? idk 1min lmao
I added 2x cyclotron and two supercharged slot, it goes brrrrrrrrrrrr

[twin coyote]

wth are those stats

ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN?

ARE YOU EVEN HOOMAN?

[golden tundra]

This was when I first built mine, there was two rules, 1) its weapon had to go brrr and 2) manouv had to be perfect, I increased from those 1k to 2150 manouv IIRC, it flyes as easy as my sentinel

No hacking, vanilla game

[twin coyote]

im pretty much u but with mah minigun in dmg

[wraith glen]

My first corvette

[agile hamlet]

I just trapped myself in the cockpit of a new corvette. 🤣

I had to use the E to get to the chair, and now I can't leave.

[twin coyote]

is that a mix of CARARARRARARARARARARARARARR and TEEEEEEEEEEEENK?

[wraith glen]

of course

[golden tundra]

I cannot hate Infra-knife enough, IMHO only it is useless against shield, it hits Dreadnought like butter 🤣
I know some folks here have it like at 100k DPS but it alone with 3x class-s tech upgrade suck ass
My secondary weapon is the photon canon with 12k DPS

[trail hornet]

what does the zenith reactor tech link to?

[agile hamlet]

I'm unable to delete any corvette parts and unable to summon a different ship.

ahhahaha thats funny.
My settlements are doing all right thankfully, im a responsible overseer lol

That doesn't sound great, perhaps #nms-questions
It is weird tho, the game allow you to summon even broken ship, it is a safety feature to prevent players from getting stuck on planets

We need insectoid corvette parts, in honor of your bugout experience. 😎

Um.....nvm

[agile hamlet]

I shut down the game and relaunched. I spawned in at the corvette builder station outside of the ship. Time to redesign!

[terse kestrel]

Great now I'm on a watch list 😬

[agile hamlet]

A timeless response.

[balmy cedar]

I like the infraknives

Cool red lasers

That way everybody can know I'm the bad guy

[terse kestrel]

Pure pew pews

[balmy cedar]

Plus my ship does a ton of damage with them

Or it feels like it anyways

[golden tundra]

Sweet, for future reference remember, the game will always allow you so summon ship, even broken ones. Broken ones only as long as you are not at the space station

[balmy cedar]

Or on a freighter

[agile hamlet]

I was in the station and every ship was grayed out

[golden tundra]

?? freighter is fine, it is where I fix mines to scrap them at the space station

[golden tundra]

Weird 😅
If everything is lost, you can use the teleport.
One annoying bug I get once here is there is after warping to a system where my freighter is, I warp inside of its hull 🤦
I must warp back to another system and use the teleport to it, thank fu I can at least warp while within the freighter hull 🤣

to be fair, that happens with all the ships, not a corvette bug

[agile hamlet]

If I keep it like this I may have to name the ship "Tunnel Vision".

[twin coyote]

why?

[fair pilot]

Players really hate the cockpits on corvettes...

[shadow wraith]

Titan is perfect if it didn't have the non-working auxillary turret

Thunderbird is fine, if it wasn't for the atmosphere entry effects glitching inside it

[hazy dove]

how do you make a good looking corvette do you suppose?

cos no matter what i do it just looks wrong

[golden tundra]

looking at others for some inspiration but avoid copy/paste so you get used to be "creative"

the first corvette is gonna look dogshit 🤣

[hazy dove]

it looks clunky

[terse kestrel]

A flying brick still flies....

[balmy cedar]

Just do what makes you happy

[terse kestrel]

I don't even have a picture of my first Corvette. It was that bad

[balmy cedar]

Make that brick YOURS

[junior ore]

Does turret position matter? I designed my new corvette with the turrets in the "wings" and it kinda feels like the intraknifes are firing wide

[fair pilot]

It is not.

[terse kestrel]

"look we can go out. We can have fun. But I just don't want my friends to see me with you"

• me to my first Corvette

[fair pilot]

Tho it may affect how you seeing the weapon effectis from the cockpit.

[golden tundra]

This was my first, after the expedition, it looks crappy, I just started adding things around and called it a day. Now I am changing things around and it looks soooo much better .
Same corvette, different approaches

[hazy dove]

How do i get a good picture of mine

[golden tundra]

in-game picture mode

[hazy dove]

also how do you get back in if you close the landing gate

[balmy cedar]

Not bad

[balmy cedar]

Summon your normal starfighter if you can, then re-summon the corvette

Or press E, X or whatever

Or Circle on Playstation

No wait... Or is it square?

I haven't touched a PS in years nor own a PC

[junior ore]

the problem with making corvette designs is there is so much stuff you end up taking hours just to get things just right 😄

[golden tundra]

If the game follows physics properly, having the weapons all the way to the side, they will be forced to be in angle to the center to center the shot so it makes sense you saying it is shooting wider

[hazy dove]

i had kind of a thing going but it didn't work properly

[balmy cedar]

Just chase what inspiration comes to mind

[junior ore]

also I remember trying to build an insane build and was building it in two halfs and the first half reached the limit before I even knew there was a limit 😢

[hazy dove]

I need more angle pieces...

[balmy cedar]

Gotcha

Brutal

[golden tundra]

Real, my left side has a bug, if I remove some things I must remove a lot to put it back.
So I must try on the right side first, if I like then I move to the left side, there is no undo button

[hazy dove]

Will different stations have different things to buy

[balmy cedar]

I'd kill for an undo button

[balmy cedar]

No

Every corvette station has the same parts

[hazy dove]

dammit

[junior ore]

Can you move objects without effecting the limit, I think I finalised my design at like 93 external and now I have done the interior its defo over 100

How do i barter for pieces

[golden tundra]

That is a very good start, now you need to work on hiding the habs, habs showing makes the corvette to look crappy, spend some time on that and you will notice improvements right away

[hazy dove]

i need angled pieces

[junior ore]

Wondering if I can move the turrets even though its over the build limit

[hazy dove]

which i don't have

but i don't know how the swap mechanics work

[golden tundra]

Use the parts you have to swap with the parts you want, that simple

Some parts are "cheap" while others require you to offer expensive parts in exchange

[hazy dove]

it's not letting me

[golden tundra]

It has too, it will show the % , above 70% is usually a win

[hazy dove]

it's not

[agile hamlet]

I'm playing with the new parts for the first time. I haven't a clue what this is yet. 🤣

[hazy dove]

I'm not seeing my modules to trade with

[golden tundra]

screenshot??

[balmy cedar]

Nice

[agile hamlet]

I wish that you could flip the wings

[golden tundra]

Are they within the space station corvette cache???

[balmy cedar]

Maybe call it the Gunstar 2

[golden tundra]

ahh, within your ship, that is why, the parts must be on you or the station cache

I know, it sucks

[agile hamlet]

I've only used one Atlas part so far, I think.

[hazy dove]

look again

that's exosuit selected on both.

[golden tundra]

Have you tried moving to the station cache??

[hazy dove]

how

[golden tundra]

The right side of the computer you start the build

[hazy dove]

not showing there either

also that's left

[abstract crow]

Well, the exterior of my latest cruiser is coming along nicely. The interior is an appalling mess that's going to take me a full day to sort out, but I'm getting there.

[junior ore]

another bug with corvettes idk if anyone has a similar one, if I harvest a plant in a hab it makes all the other plants look harvested but they are not. Is it normal?

[golden tundra]

just put all the parts there, 160 slots IIRC
so idk, why it isn't showing

[hazy dove]

maybe its cos i have free price on??

[golden tundra]

Wait, are you on creative mode???

[hazy dove]

no

just free price

[golden tundra]

So what is free price on... I have no idea what that is

Corvette build, be in normal mode and dump all the parts on that station cache, that is all you do

[abstract crow]

No cost building.

[golden tundra]

It is annoying how the parts you delete moves back to the exosuit 🤦

[hazy dove]

that didn't fix it

[golden tundra]

ahhh nahh, I have no idea how that mode works, I play normal vanilla mode

[glad snow]

question, if a gun sits backwards does it still work fine?

[hazy dove]

basic parts can't be traded and it doesn't matter if its free cost or not for whatever fuckin reason

[golden tundra]

That sucks, sorry I cannot help you

[terse kestrel]

@hazy dove

If you are in free crafting mode while crafting a Corvette you will not get that part back. Even if you place that part from your inventory while you are not in free crafting mode.

In that mode it doesn't cost anything to craft and you are refunded nothing when you destroy something.

So if you used something from your inventory in regular mode and deleted it in free crafting mode it's GONE. Not getting it back.

[hazy dove]

Yeah but you can just put it back in free crafting mode

[golden tundra]

Yikes man

[hazy dove]

it feels like most of these parts were not designed with sideways slopes in mind

[terse kestrel]

Yeah it's a mode you use or don't. Swapping back and forth will jack you up eventually

[hazy dove]

are there any sideways slopes

[outer garden]

You can turn the slopy things sideways I forgot what they're called

Anyone figure out how to turn reactors upside down

[hazy dove]

the slopy things doesnt help

the cowling?

[terse kestrel]

Building them at a 90° angle allows you to slope to the sides easy

[hazy dove]

um

no?

unless you mean building the ship itself sideways

[terse kestrel]

You can build 360 on a ship if you want to. You can bill your ships straightforward front to back and then build at any angle you want off that

[hazy dove]

no you can't? or at least i can't?

[terse kestrel]

360 building. Vanilla on console

[golden tundra]

I wished we could turn Medusa reactor 180, on console you can only place it facing to the front with the ugly back showing 🤦

[hazy dove]

it's just letting me flip it up and down. how did you do that

I'm playing on pc and same thing

I'm okay with glitch building but not mod ding

[terse kestrel]

Right and left bumper

[terse kestrel]

There's a way. You just got to learn how to do it. And once you do it once you'll be able to do it over and over

[hazy dove]

you don't understand i'm not even getting the option of inputting it on the little bar below

[terse kestrel]

Do you know how to offset your build by half a space and rotate your Habs too?

[hazy dove]

no

[terse kestrel]

So you're trying to snap in the upside down position but it's too low? You can only build so low on the Corvette with some parts

[terse kestrel]

Because it doesn't go sideways

[hazy dove]

THEN HOW ARE YOU MAKING SIDEWAYS ANGLES????

[outer garden]

The rotate function is how you do it

[nimble stirrup]

glitch building

[terse kestrel]

Once you build a circle you can build a Corvette off any angle from that. You don't need a circle corvette. You're just using that circle as a template

That's 6 of the potential angles you can build in. There's 6 more angles you can access in that video

[golden tundra]

My issue with glitch is that when things don't work, it's a massive pain.
I use base glitch to go beyond 300u like my EM is 800u from my base but teleport to that base blocks you from editing it, I must save and then reload the save to be able to edit within the glitch part.

With corvette, I just wanna put the part down and move on offset is the only thing I'm allowed to use

[willow lichen]

Dunno what other pieces of decoration to add.

[hazy dove]

so i have to go through all this stuff just to get a slight slope?

[terse kestrel]

I only have two craft at awkward angles. The rest are just offsetting.

[golden tundra]

With corvette you must get used to adding parts as place holder only so you can place down the part you want or operation you want.

Ignoring that, will make corvette building frustrating and hate it.

[hazy dove]

so in other words most of the building of corvette is scaffolding just to get whatever the hell you want done because the game hates you?

[golden tundra]

Corvette build is a new feature and there's room for improvement, yes!!!

[hazy dove]

also is it just me or are the weapons a bit dinky looking?

[terse kestrel]

This 100%

I will build dozens of Habs during a build. But end up with 2 or 3 in the final build

[hazy dove]

seems a bit... obtuse.

[hazy dove]

ah goddammit i just built a mirage jet

[agile hamlet]

One Thrusters part isn't visible when moving. Hmmm.

[balmy cedar]

I need some help stealing a design 1:1

I wanna make this dude's ship but blue

[hazy dove]

T H E L O B S T E R M I N A T O R

[agile hamlet]

I can only access the elevator and the cockpit. 🤣

[hazy dove]

why can i not place anything here

on top of highlighted

nvm i got it working

opinions on this?

[glass surge]

Do you have more than that picture or no? If you have more than one you want to get them in the highest res possible so you can zoom in and work out the parts and figure out where to start like the hab.

I've seen some recent crab posts on reddit so if you have an account you can ask for a video etc if they're willing to do that

[golden tundra]

Find parts to better hide those hab and flat walls and perhaps add some colour, it will add a big plus
It looks cool

[balmy cedar]

Only 2 pics

[glacial sand]

Would it be possible to build like a docking station for all the mobile vechiles on the corvette?

[swift mist]

can't tell if anyone already answered but it will still work, same with backwards engines

game doesn't care as long as it's on the corvette

[glad snow]

thank you

[balmy cedar]

I found pix of the lobster online

Cool

Now I can... make the Rock Lobster!

[swift mist]

those are some big meaty claws

[balmy cedar]

Also

Rock lobter is a family guy reference

[glass surge]

🤣

it's more like a B-52's song that got referenced in Family guy

[outer garden]

Yeah I bought a shit ton of Thunderbird habs to use as building blocks

[golden tundra]

3k manouv?? That is hot.

[silent agate]

Peak

My shiit wild.

[golden tundra]

I sent you a DM

[silent agate]

Ye

[outer garden]

Are you taking about trading modules or once you are in the editor swapping the parts?

[hazy dove]

trading modules-you can't trade basic ones.

that was the issue.

[twin coyote]

idk what ship to build.

[outer garden]

Gotcha

[outer garden]

Visit https://www.reddit.com/r/NMS_Corvette_Design/s/mJNCwDySUi

[hazy dove]

i think my current ship isn't very good

136 damage potential

325 maneuverability

224 shield strength

[balmy cedar]

Not a bad start

[balmy cedar]

Have you rearranged the parts in your inventory to boost them?

Shio parts when adjacent to other matching parts get a slight buff

[hazy dove]

uhhh looks like it did that for me

wait

i dont have slots to move them around

i can't even if i wanted to

[balmy cedar]

Brutal. Package one or two so you can

how

[balmy cedar]

You can let a part or two rest in your inventory and reinstall it

On controller it gives a menu option idk for PC

[hazy dove]

no?

[balmy cedar]

No?

[hazy dove]

I don't see a method to?

[balmy cedar]

It should say

"Store technology"

[balmy cedar]

Oh

You can't remove those parts

Try a different one lol

[hazy dove]

you don't understand

[balmy cedar]

Like the rocket launcher

[hazy dove]

i don't have any other technologies

it's full up

[balmy cedar]

Huh

[smoky flax]

Overall it doesn't sound like you upgraded it much, but you should ignore the ship's damage potential. It is a useless number. What matters is individual weapon damage. My corvette for example, the ship claims sub 200 damage potential, sounds bad, right? Most have ships with damage potential in the 400s or higher...so how can sub 200 be good? The thing is that you can keep raising the ship damage rating by stacking more and more weapons on it but they don't get more powerful by you installing unrelated weapon systems and you can only fire one at a time. My sub 200 damage potential corvette in reality has an infra knife with 240,000 damage potential...and that is what matters...the individual weapon. Your ships damage is only as good as your best weapon.

[balmy cedar]

You can pop the shield off I think

[hazy dove]

no i can't.

[balmy cedar]

Huh

Brutal

No idea how to help ya then

[hazy dove]

this is just built, not upgraded at all.

[balmy cedar]

The trick will be grinding for Nanites to get inventory slots then

Good luck

[hazy dove]

how do you buy them

[hazy dove]

how are you seeing those numbers?

[balmy cedar]

Have you ever upgraded a normal starship?

[hazy dove]

no

[balmy cedar]

Ok

At the back of a normal space station

There's this thing with a floating ship logo above it

You can upgrade your currently equipped ship there

[smoky flax]

Useless to evaluate a ship's potential at less than S class. Once it is S then you can try to gauge stat bonuses.

[smoky flax]

My total numbers are a result of upgrades including modules, blueprint tech, and corvette tech, laid out for optimal connection bonuses and with some strategic use of the four supercharged slots.

[hazy dove]

no

how are you seeing those numbers

because i am not seeing them

[smoky flax]

Ah, you must have tabbed over the multitool. Back out of the inventory, pause and unpause the game, then go back to ship without tabbing over the multitool.

[hazy dove]

?

nvm i found it

[twin coyote]

I tryed to build a muti tool

[smoky flax]

In the inventory screens if you tab over the multitool inventory it will make some of your ship and freighter stats disappear.

[twin coyote]

infra-knife platforms=pulse spitter

phase beams=mining beam

[hazy dove]

okay so DP-176
SS-378
HR-403
Man-307. so my maneuverability went... down?

it's also not showing me three of my thrusters?

[smoky flax]

Only 3 thrusters will show up in your tech inventory....doesn't matter if you install 15 or whatever only 3 will impact your stats.

[hazy dove]

should i reorder so my giant fuckoff thruster is in my inventory?

[smoky flax]

Yes...you should move the tech for optimal connection bonuses.

[hazy dove]

not what i meant. Should i redo the parts until my largest thruster is one of the ones registered impacting my stats.

i have five lil baby thangs and one giant fuckoff thruster

[smoky flax]

Physical size doesn't mean better but you should try to get the ones with best stats to reflect in your inventory if you can.

[hazy dove]

I don't know what stats they have

[smoky flax]

You can only see the first three and after that they stop showing you stats but I think later ones replace the earlier ones...they just stop telling you what the stat bonuses are. I suggest sticking to 3 and install the ones with the best bonuses...that gives you some control over what quality upgrades you get.

[outer garden]

You need to upgrade a class aand expand more slots

[hazy dove]

i did both

[outer garden]

keep upgrading till it has 120 slots and S class

sorry, 60 tech slots

[outer garden]

How did you get that high of manueverability on a corvette?

[trail hornet]

👍

[trail hornet]

rookie numbers

my main has some 4k

[golden tundra]

You can increase the manoeuv by putting those engine together and arranging the others
Also, move the medusa reactor and cockpit close to the engines, you will notice it going up

Buns

[outer garden]

Ive got two supercharged slots next to each other on hte top. Max manuv i can get is this

top speed with power to engines is 450

[outer garden]

pic of setup?

[trail hornet]

can't rn, i'm racing lol

[golden tundra]

I took me some time to get mine right, even when I thought I had it nailed down was still not perfect. I spent an insane amount of time moving the techs around

[outer garden]

yeah i can only get 1600

well, best so far

[golden tundra]

Cool, from that it goes back to the actual ship design, any flat surface facing the front or parts that aren't very aerodynamic will destroy your manouv count

[outer garden]

Wait seriously

[golden tundra]

oh yes,
I replaced those parts from the first design and the manouev went up

[outer garden]

seems pretty aerodynamic

ish

[golden tundra]

The only time you ignore its value is when the game shows like 800, exit the build mode to get the manouev values back, it must be a bug or something

[terse kestrel]

@ember plaza

The questions chat is good for general information or mission/story help. But if you need help related to building Corvettes you should ask here. You'd get a lot more direct information from people who build Corvettes all the time.

[golden tundra]

Yup, personally I would replace these two parts with two smaller that are more flat
But anyway, keep that in mind, it is annoying how one part can affect it, sometimes if you add a part just in one side, RIP, you add to both side and it goes up.
It is annoying but it is what we have

[outer garden]

ill draw the line there

[blissful depot]

Does anyone know how to find the person that made this ship, I need to know how he got the switches to actually work the power

[outer garden]

looks like im stuck with 1800!

[balmy cedar]

Howd they make those claws?

The design eludes me

[blissful depot]

Offset glitch using the vent

[golden tundra]

The bigger one looks a rim, the smaller one a cover or whatever it is called from what I see

[ember plaza]

how do i certically connect hulls

so the player can access

also ty

i have a landing bay directly underneath a hull

[swift mist]

you have to place an internal stairway inside a hull on the same level as your landing bay

[ember plaza]

how i get that

[swift mist]

go into build mode once you've entered your corvette

[ember plaza]

wut

[swift mist]

go inside your corvette

[ember plaza]

ok

[swift mist]

your character. actually walk inside the corvette

[ember plaza]

oh shit

ty

the hatch is buggy

i keep falling through

[swift mist]

i really only use the ramps

[ember plaza]

there we go

[ember plaza]

my ships based on the ghost

well loosely inspired

[fierce aspen]

I dont like it weird build (not previous post cool build)

[golden tundra]

Star Wars vibe is strong on this one lmao, it is very cool

[swift mist]

not a bad ship to base it on tbh

[ember plaza]

ty

[golden tundra]

Join the club, always moving things here and there 😅

[ember plaza]

hey yall

is there a part that adds ugrade slots?

[fierce aspen]

Theres a part that adds storage slots idk about upgrade slots

You mean class of the ship?

[ember plaza]

no

a slot to add ugpraded

upgrades

thats wut i mean

[fierce aspen]

Sorry idk

[glass surge]

If you want to upgrade the Tech Slot or Cargo Area of the ship; you need the blue storage augmentation, spend units at the station in the back to upgrade it, use the tech modules trick to add more for free, and or switch it to free cost in the crafting settings to do that

[open tartan]

once we've finished the expedition how do we go about getting more atlas corvette parts?

[glass surge]

Claim the Blueprints at the anomaly and then you craft them with sentinel resources like Pugneum, Salvaged Glass and Silver

[open tartan]

ah thanks

[ember plaza]

tech modules trick?

[fierce aspen]

These guys can sometimes get em from scrapping ships

If you just want to upgrade the technology itself you can just get a higher tier one at a gas space station

[golden tundra]

More often from class-a ships, harder with b and even worse with class-c legacy ships

[ember plaza]

how do i get em

i thought u could buy more slots in the station

[swift mist]

some missions will also have those as rewards

[raven rover]

You can but

[ember plaza]

how i do that

[raven rover]

😂

[ember plaza]

the anomaly?

[raven rover]

shits hella expensive

[glass surge]

So when all the Tech slots on the corvette are full you go in to the corvette editor and add a piece like a gun or torpedo module, apply the edit, back out check that it added it to the tech area of your corvette and then edit the corvette and delete the module to get a useable slot

[ember plaza]

damnit

45 million units

[balmy cedar]

Man this lobster

I hate the original creator of this thing I'm stealing

[outer garden]

so apparently, weight mattters? each zenish reactor cost me like 400 maneuv

[golden tundra]

You have the "new here" icon, I would suggest you to find a harmonic camp, claim a base, spam the computer to show you the location of sentinels ship, sell them for units and nanites at the space station and as bonus, it might drop spaceship augmentation

[balmy cedar]

Part count

Higher part count means lower speed
