nms-corvette-discussion

[balmy cedar]

It's my first build that uses the elevator piece

[west plank]

I got more pieces. I can’t wait to make a monstrosity

[sterile cape]

is there more interior parts for corvettes other than what you get by default

by interior parts i mean the functional stuff like stairs and the wall stuff

cause i got 3 floors of habs and the default stairs kinda suck

[terse kestrel]

The available wall machines are the ones we have for now.

And yeah those stairs suck. So try this

[west plank]

Are corvettes a new thing?

[sterile cape]

kinda

[terse kestrel]

Decorative barricades. Rotated to a 45° angle and placed along the stairs.

[sterile cape]

they were in the update before this recent one but the recent one expanded upon them

[terse kestrel]

The handrails on stairs are visual. Not physical assets. Adding these barricades adds physical rails to the sides

[sterile cape]

my issue with the stairs are just the entrance to them, going down the stairs barely works

[terse kestrel]

Adding these barricades also helps going down

The hole at the top of the stairs is wider than the staircase. It only causing you to fall through more but making getting down awkward

[sterile cape]

they gotta add an elevator fr

or a teleporter to the cockpit

[terse kestrel]

By adding those barricades to the sides of the stairs you are shrinking up the empty space on the sides. Making it harder to fall through but easier to simply walk down

[terse kestrel]

The short range teleporter is able to be built on corvettes. It just doesn't function and cannot be connected. But the fact that they made it available to build on a Corvette shows that they want it there. And that they want it to work. So fingers crossed it happens sooner rather than later

As it is now sometimes when you're in pulse drive and you use your stairs you are pulled out of your Corvette into space. So I imagine the short range teleporter have their own issues like that

[bright birch]

i wish the number of parts for corvettes increase

[little dirge]

Yknow my one problem with corvettes

gravity is a suggestion made up by lesser ships

[terse kestrel]

Physics don't matter.

Unless you break them.

Then it's your fault and you're screwed

[little dirge]

Truth

[west plank]

Parts I’ve found in my first attempt to find parts

My ugly duckling is getting a makeover

[limpid knot]

Hello there so I want to install some normal tecnology to my corvette, like the conflict scaner, the cargo scanner deflecto etc and I don't have more slots, how can I get more? Do I need to delete parts of my covette for more spaces?

[terse kestrel]

You add storage and tech slots at the starship upgrade station in space stations. Left side in the far back. Ground floor

It's also where you upgrade ship/Corvette class and scrap/build basic ships

[limpid knot]

Okay thank you, I really appreciate the help

[remote cape]

Updated the interior of my Corvette. I think it turned out good. I also have a storage area at the entrance.

Here's the storage area.

[west hamlet]

Looking real sweet, mine is not looking good inside xd

Big ass ship but no room at all, just the cockpit

[bright birch]

looks cool

i wish you could color the atlas parts

like i get why you cant but its like limiting

[abstract crow]

The exterior is almost done, and the interior is at least functional. I'm really loving this design with the new Atlas parts, though some base editing had to be done to remove the gaps between layers. Few more tweaks, and the interior needs to be done and I'll be done. And of course, the naming process.

[terse kestrel]

Brown Atlas parts

https://youtu.be/OChJFfIEzI0?si=HAO8fQT8WMBuBlZO

You can use colors from your base and freighter on your Corvette.

For base colors use something like a locker that allows you access to all colors + concrete, stone, wood and rust.

For freighter colors use flat white wall panels.

You can select any color from these parts and apply it to the entire Corvette. While also using base color textures to alter the colors.

By using base texture options you are actually using Corvette texture options.

Concrete = gloss
Wood = inverted
Rust = Weathered
Stone = Metallic.

Using these color combinations opens up dozens of color options for Corvette.

Want a lime green Corvette? Use freighter color white/green and base wood texture. Hot pink? Freighter teal/pink with base wood (inverted) texture. The options are vast

[willow lichen]

I used the locker technique to get a better gold color on my corvette

[terse kestrel]

That's nice. Much better than Corvette mustard seed yellow

[willow lichen]

Agreed. The yellow in the standard corvette color picker is more of an orange.

[terse kestrel]

Also the lighting of most stations makes it hard to tell what's actually the final color in normal light

I build here exclusively. Feel free to use it. The lighting is basic white and very bright around the whole Corvette

[willow lichen]

Sometimes you go to a station and it’s just like: “Whoever installed these lights probably got fired by their gek overseer.”

Like, why is the lighting red and lime green??

[terse kestrel]

Purple and turquoise 😭

Their lighting manager is on some hard nip

[west plank]

Is it possible to go into the main part of my ship while in space or no?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah go to the quick menu like your selecting Galaxy map.

You see two seat icons. One leaves your seat in flight and the other sets an auto pilot to the station, planets or bases in the system. Allowing you to walk around freely while traveling.

Careful using ladders in pulse flight. Sometimes it will launch you out of the Corvette 😂

[stark dirge]

Is it possible to have a medium sized Corvette and have it to where I can maneuver better?

[terse kestrel]

You don't need to build the biggest Corvette you can.

[stark dirge]

I was just curious

[terse kestrel]

Well one thing to remember is as you add certain parts it will strip away your maneuverability. And the taller you build your Corvette the more it will also do the same.

So low profile and wide Corvettes are your better option for top maneuverability. And you can build a really good one between 50 and 80 parts

About 70 parts

[stark dirge]

I specifically wanna have one that’s able to travel throughout more galaxies with those parts and has enough space for all 10 storage areas and the mission board too

[terse kestrel]

The 10 storage containers are going to be what slows you down. Since doorways appear on one of the walls you need 6-7 Habs for them all.

I have 4 storage containers on my ship. And when I need one that's not there I destroy it and build the one I need.

This is made easier by renaming a storage container. Because that name also shows up in the build menu when you highlight that storage container

[balmy cedar]

I wanna make the Arcadia from Space Captain Harlock...

Any tips?

I'm probs gonna use a mad Nox ship for the main ship. I dunno how ima do the front tho

[dawn fulcrum]

I cannot figuire out rotating plates correctly

But I see videos online doing it just fine

[stark dirge]

That’s really helpful Ma

Man

[balmy cedar]

Hmm

[dawn fulcrum]

[final dragon]

Do short range teleporters work in corvettes?

[golden tundra]

On top of that, if you adding a part in both sides, only look at the values after you placed the 2nd part.
Often, one part will drop your maneuv and once you add the 2nd it goes back to where it should.

This might be a bug but a thing I noticed is that sometimes it might show like 800 maneuv while moving things around, then I exit edit mode and back to get my real values to show up

[golden tundra]

Nope

[final dragon]

I built a 3 tier UFO.

The cockpit is on the top level.

[golden tundra]

It sucks that it does not work, I limited mine to no levels coz I cannot bother using stairs

[final dragon]

Are there any more that don't work?

[balmy cedar]

How should I go about making this thing?

[pseudo forge]

One piece at a time.

[golden tundra]

Skull is easy, you can find gigantic head fossil

[balmy cedar]

Gigantic head fossil

Gotcha

Plain RNG?

[keen sparrow]

With corvette builds, is it better to put the actual weapon or impulse drive in an SC slot and then put upgrades adjacent, or SC your best upgrade instead?

I don’t need completely insane numbers but I’m just trying to optimize

[balmy cedar]

Pulse

Damage is one of those things... Everybody is like "You need high damage numbers," just use Phase beams and 1 or 2 mods

[keen sparrow]

Hmm okay and are the A-class boosters always superior to B-class engines?

[balmy cedar]

Class doesn't matter with the parts

[keen sparrow]

I love the new Infra-Knife platforms, even if the way they look seems counterintuitive for what they are

Oh?

[balmy cedar]

They look pretty alright

[keen sparrow]

hehehehe more beams

[balmy cedar]

Best engines are arcadia heavies arguably

[keen sparrow]

I’m just saying they appear to be machine guns with ammo drums

[balmy cedar]

But otherwise they're all basically the same

[keen sparrow]

Which is funny

[river copper]

I want a corvette ship so badly

[keen sparrow]

I am a big fan of these, assuming they fit in with a design which can be a challenge because they’re so massive

[balmy cedar]

Yea

I like the thunderbirds myself

[keen sparrow]

Are the Aeron drives not better than those??

[golden tundra]

Not the corvette part but the actual tech with upgrades adjacent. Do keep the corvette parts close to its class of course.
Do spend time moving things around specially around the warp drivers and manuev, it can drop the performance by 50%

ops, wrong

above was for you @keen sparrow

my bad Mercenary

[balmy cedar]

No worries

Just call me Dai, or Merc whichever works

[keen sparrow]

Yeah I also quickly figured out it is indeed worth it to get three of everything, assuming the corvette is big enough

Like three each of the reactors

NOT YOU, CETO REACTORS

…except for a couple of builds where they fit in and didn’t look silly

[golden tundra]

Pure personal choice, I have 7 reactors, some folks have 12 reactors.
There is no real rule just the more thing you add, the more pain is to manage the techs slots, 60 is not enough

[keen sparrow]

I like to hide my Zenith reactors, and I usually leave my Azimuth reactors exposed on the bottom

The Medusa reactors also look decent enough to fit with most designs but I wish we could ROTATE THEM FFS

And flip them

[trail hornet]

yes dude

[terse kestrel]

https://youtu.be/y6Jdh3MhETw?si=udMsNLPe7Sz8-7-k

https://youtu.be/OviTjOwAfp8?si=cg0M4ov7-QG2my9P

You can rotate and move Habs a half space. Allowing you to place many parts in a small space

[glass surge]

If you're going to use three medusa reactors delete the cockpit put in three medusa's and then put the cockpit in so it'll show all three in the tech slot area of your corvette.

Inxi told me about that earlier and i tried it and 3 medusa reactors in my build give me a 20 point edge in maneuverability versus 2 medusa reactors and the cockpit

[terse kestrel]

It's soooooo easy to do. 1 minute to learn and less time to do it after

Red - 2 titan boosters meshed together

Blue - 3 Medusa (one backward and one half offset)

Yellow -azimuth

Green - warp drive

All in a 4x2x2 space

[keen sparrow]

I wondered about this, because my cockpit disappeared

Is the cockpit effectively a reactor then?

[glass surge]

yeah it does in the tech slot but it's still there

[glass surge]

no idea but i did file a bug report with HG askign if this is intended or if it could be clarifed more in reactor dialogue since it's not clear

[keen sparrow]

I’ve heard of offset building, but that’s not considered glitching, right?

They already let you overlap some parts so clearly they intended for that to happen

[terse kestrel]

It's not glitching imo. But many people feel it is.

[glass surge]

offset building i think is often used to achieve glitches or mesh pieces better together for function or look

[terse kestrel]

Some parts are not meant to rotate. But we force them to buy offsetting. But offsetting isn't a glitch. Just a byproduct of rotating snap points

[glass surge]

i've definitely used it to mesh certain pieces together or used it in conjunction with smaller habs to setup pieces to snap to areas i want them to

[terse kestrel]

So the end result is a glitch. But not the method to get there

[keen sparrow]

I’m mostly concerned about stability of the game; I built an asymmetrical ship using entirely normal techniques with a cockpit on one side instead of centered and every time I docked / undocked with my freighter it booted me into space

Sort of. If I moved just right the ship would appear.

But I couldn’t get to the cockpit.

[keen sparrow]

So I just spacewalked out and summoned it lol

[terse kestrel]

This ship is stab as hell. No issues

[keen sparrow]

But that got old

[terse kestrel]

Yet it's got a giant hole in it....

[keen sparrow]

I want to try that again; I see no reason why it wasn’t working

You can put the cockpit anywhere you want, right?

Maybe it had more to do with the landing bay

Since that’s the teleport point

[heady temple]

I’m…how did they make these

[keen sparrow]

I’m in love with the new hydraulic landing gear that automatically flex to fit the terrain under you

Modding aside, I don’t think I’ll ever have the patience to build something like that

It must take forever

[west hamlet]

Good question lmao

[glass surge]

this is what a Chinese NMS player made with in game parts and i want to say moddinf but i am not 100% sure
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1okpjp8/corvette_ultra_beast_force_from_syxg/

[keen sparrow]

Those Aeron parts are perfect for that sort of thing

[glass surge]

yeah they are

[heady temple]

This thing is massive I am baffled

[keen sparrow]

Now we just need Aeron habs and cockpits

[west hamlet]

One thing I'm sure is that most chinese player are insane

[glass surge]

i mean they are pretty dedicated i bet

[west hamlet]

100%

[heady temple]

Oh was that ship a mod?

[west hamlet]

There is not that much of them but they are very dedicated

[keen sparrow]

Chinese folks are great at building physical models as well

[glass surge]

ahh the post says mods were used to create it but it's still legit in game and the video i saw the cockpit you can get in and out of

[heady temple]

I can see other players modded stuff?

[keen sparrow]

Some of the most beautiful aircraft models I’ve ever seen were Chinese or Japanese

[glass surge]

we have #nms-showcase-corvettes for showing off builds etc

[west hamlet]

I think you can mod to exceed build limits etc but anything to do with appearance only the modder can see it

[heady temple]

Ah, well I am certainly FEELING his excess mod limit

Vary choppy now

[west hamlet]

It's hard to create a good looking ship and not sacrifice the interior for me

[west hamlet]

Always xd

[heady temple]

And I was just wondering why it was capped so low at a 100..

[keen sparrow]

I made one I’m pretty proud of that has an all Ambassador interior

Multiple levels with lots of details inside as well. I need to take some inside shots.

[west hamlet]

I'm struggling to maintain the style I like but kinda have to sacrifice the interior for it

[keen sparrow]

I may rework this one a bit now that we have the Ambassador heavy engines because I love how those look

But this captured a nice aesthetic with the “four dots” since they’re also on those cowlings

[west hamlet]

Each update always add lots

Is the limit for ship and corvette still 30?

[keen sparrow]

Also that’s the captain’s cabin with the front facing window

I kinda designed around that; it was something I really wanted

[west hamlet]

Fits really well

[keen sparrow]

Thanks!

I love the Ambassador interiors

[glass surge]

Part limit that doesn't count Decorations is 100 for Corvettes but you can go over for building to adjust something but then you still have to bring it down to 100

[keen sparrow]

Titan is okay; feels like the inside of a submarine or warship

Thunderbird is basically Star Wars

[glass surge]

Ambassador is my fave too and definitely gives Aliens franchise vibes

[keen sparrow]

Yep, with a mixture of 70’s shag shack

[golden tundra]

They really need to add parts to cover the sides hey, there is virtually nothing really useful, mostly one part on top of the other and so on.

[keen sparrow]

If I had the skill I would absolutely do an art piece of a hot spacer chick lounging in the Ambassador bed

I guess the downside would be that clear…shell thing? Imagine clunking into that while having sweaty space sex

[terse kestrel]

Don't be that guy

[keen sparrow]

Ugh why can’t those people at least keep them out of the Anomaly

[glass surge]

that's why i stuck to unmodded and the part limit

[keen sparrow]

It’s also my headcanon now for what the interior of The Heart of Gold looks like

[golden tundra]

Anomaly is the hub for multiplayer so people wanna show their stuff but forget the problems it cause.
I can just imagine everybody with massive ships there

[keen sparrow]

From HHGTTG

The Ambassador “galley” looks like a good spot to mix a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster

[glass surge]

I'm honestly surprised there is not a Don't Panic / worry towel reference in NMS

[terse kestrel]

Tested my island Corvette with some friends earlier. Ones on PS4 and they said it's fine for them. So I dont mind taking it in.

If it jacked them up I wouldn't

[keen sparrow]

Me too; they’ve referenced a lot of other things

Speaking of references, I really think I see some NMS inspiration in this Lego set I just got: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/vtol-heavy-cargo-spaceship-lt81-42181

It also has some generic “science fiction dropship” vibes but when I found this I was like MUST HAVE IT NOW

Once I get it built, I’m gonna try to build it in the game

[keen sparrow]

What the deuce

And you definitely didn’t pay 50k nanites to upgrade it?

[unborn sundial]

nope, nothing, it just go to S tier from A tier

and now i have a S tier corvette xd

idk man i just edit it and this happend, lucky of me

[keen sparrow]

Is there more equipment further down?

[golden tundra]

HELP: I asked this at #nms-base-building but got no response.

Freighter base + corvette: Can you see your corvette from the outside??
I can only see the blue virtual landing pad, if I jump to it, the corvette shows up but the base disappear altogether.
I wanna extend a teleport right under it so I can teleport from the bridge to it, the vanilla way is too long but I cannot even see the goddamn thing.

[hoary galleon]

So I wanna combine two of my favorite games so imma make a Warframe ship in this game

[keen sparrow]

Uh wait

[unborn sundial]

i dont have nothing weird

[keen sparrow]

But that’s not the same layout

[hoary galleon]

How do I upgrade my corvette to S class?

[keen sparrow]

Pay for it, like any other ship

[hoary galleon]

Got ya

[golden tundra]

Lots of nanites, 60-70k nanites???

[unborn sundial]

is the same only i scroll up

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

[keen sparrow]

Ohhh okay

[unborn sundial]

i cant show all in the same screen xd, little complicated

[keen sparrow]

So you have three SC slots?

[glass surge]

85K nanites to get to S class

[golden tundra]

Yup, sounds about right, it was a lot

[glass surge]

For corvette it's 4 SC slots in the top three rows at S class

[unborn sundial]

only 2

[keen sparrow]

If you didn’t pay and it spontaneously upgraded itself from A to S that is some weird shit

Aha

[unborn sundial]

yeah

[keen sparrow]

Yeah it’s glitched

[unborn sundial]

deam, new glitch?

[keen sparrow]

What do you see if you go to a space station upgrade console?

Is the option to upgrade the class even there?

[unborn sundial]

show me that, like a normal one

[glass surge]

yeah number 3

[unborn sundial]

its max

cant do nothing with the option

[golden tundra]

Beginners luck strikes again lmao

[unborn sundial]

in my case is a struck in the balls, it steals me 2 supercharge slots

let me see if using invetory upgrades they spawn

[golden tundra]

Not really, you can still unlock it all but diffrent places

[glass surge]

no you have three the azimuth reactor and the two pulse engine modes you can tell my the border color on the mods

[keen sparrow]

Okay but if you only have two SC slots…

Oh

[golden tundra]

Do save first so you can restore it, if the ship got bugged, everything else might or might not be bugged

[unborn sundial]

nope, i dont have it

only 2

[keen sparrow]

You say it did this after adding the Aeron engines?

[golden tundra]

Have you unlocked all 60 techs already??

[unborn sundial]

i just save so i fuck it up

[shadow wraith]

If it is bugged, just delete every part of the corvette, and trade it out

[unborn sundial]

idk what bugged but i think is the 2 meduse reactors i add or maybe yeah, the motors bugged

[golden tundra]

Question: How does that work coz the game won't let you do anything if the base parts aren't placed.
Sell if for scrap after or???

[unborn sundial]

the only way is destroying the corvette at all and just making another

[glass surge]

this is what i get when i roll SC slots

[golden tundra]

I cannot, the workshop won't let me leave. I will try again next time

[shadow wraith]

Trade it with another NPC

[keen sparrow]

Yeah trade it with an NPC but remove anything good from it first

[shadow wraith]

You can trade S-class ships with no part corvettes

[golden tundra]

Ahhhhhh drrrr gotcha ya now

[keen sparrow]

Strip it down to minimum parts, the cheapest ones

[unborn sundial]

crap only 3, yeah it upgrade by him self

[golden tundra]

now it makes sense

[shadow wraith]

You can strip everything out using the 2nd builder trick

[unborn sundial]

i upgrade it to A class and thats it, only 3

but the 4 just lost

[golden tundra]

I am not seeing 60 techs slots in there, only 30

[keen sparrow]

I just wish we could archive corvettes like regular ships

[unborn sundial]

it is max

but gonna take screen

[golden tundra]

That is wrong, max is 60 techs

[keen sparrow]

Or at least give us a way to save the design, maybe across saves as long as you have the parts

[golden tundra]

This is max, not 30

[shadow wraith]

There's a button on the left side to show all techs

[glass surge]

I'd report that missing slot to HG who knows it might be a translation error

[shadow wraith]

Same with inventory

[keen sparrow]

Oh yeah I didn’t think about localization being involved since it’s not English

[golden tundra]

Good call.

[shadow wraith]

Emeril and Indium drives while having the Atlantid drive

So over

[unborn sundial]

fk this is worse xd

[keen sparrow]

They give bonuses

[unborn sundial]

and i cant upgrade

[golden tundra]

strip it and sell to NPC like folks said

[keen sparrow]

But if you’re really maxing things out you are better off using bobble heads and trails

[shadow wraith]

You still have a single row left

[shadow wraith]

Oh lmao

[unborn sundial]

i cant

[golden tundra]

Ahh what?? 😅
Warp distance is near 3000ly but I use my freighter most of the time that is near 6000ly IIRC

[keen sparrow]

Oh

Yeah it’s stuck on A

But claiming to be an S

[unborn sundial]

fuck

[shadow wraith]

Ah, I meant about being able to travel anywhere with just the Atlantid

[glass surge]

I would send this and any other files etc you have to HG to report it as a bug

[keen sparrow]

That’s wild

[glass surge]

!hg

[lament abyss]

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[shadow wraith]

I didn't account for the distance

[keen sparrow]

Yeah they love to see this stuff

[shadow wraith]

This is the Atlas' will

You got the fake S-class

[unborn sundial]

xD

very lore accurate

[shadow wraith]

Boundary Error on that part

[golden tundra]

Ahh I kept it all to increase the distance, I just do big jumps without worrying about "beyond warp distance limit" or whatever it says

[shadow wraith]

I maxed out on 1450, so yeah

[tropic quarry]

I made a cool corvette that looks like what I think big cargo ships in space would look like

[shadow wraith]

Technically 15500 if counting the modified one with 1000 all base stats lmao

[tropic quarry]

Sadly i can't show it cause i made it on my xbox + my camera quality is so bad you can count the pixels

[unborn sundial]

the game just troll me :c

but im follower of the atlas, it is his will i just accept

[unborn sundial]

deserve honestly xd

[keen sparrow]

I thought you could save screenshots from Xbox to your MS Account?

And share them somehow

I got no idea; last Xbox I had was a 360

[golden tundra]

Always have an USB storage attached to it, I have a NVMe but that is beyond the point.
Set the USB storage as storage for capture and you can share your stuff here, not just that but record videos up to 1h 😌

Once done playing, plug it into your PC and voila, no cloud BS required

[golden tundra]

OneDrive, MS shit cloud, but I prefer to keep things locally, hook the external storage to PC and voila.

[keen sparrow]

Ah, yeah. Makes sense.

[tropic quarry]

Cant find my mouse dongle, that's why this is a problem, cause I only have a pc tower, not a laptop

[tropic quarry]

I'll find it some day and then I can finally show people my super cool corvette

[unborn sundial]

can i use some file modifications to fix it?

[tropic quarry]

K gonna go to sleep now, bye

[unborn sundial]

i mean, ik we can modify the save file, but can we modify the corvette specific files

??

[glass surge]

you can check about fixing your save if possible in #nms-modding i'm not a modding expert

[unborn sundial]

hope so

[glass surge]

if you can also make a backup of it just in case

[unborn sundial]

i have it

but it burns my soul to use it

like 4 hours of rollback

painfull

[unborn sundial]

yeah, i dont want to use it

[keen sparrow]

Save editing could change the actual ship class but that may break your save due to how it ended up like this

[glass surge]

all i'm saying back it up in case you mod the file and something goes wrong and it's gone forever better to roll back 4 hours then however many hours or years you have in the game

[golden tundra]

Me in that position, I would just strip its part and sell to NPC
Just not worth IMHO to try to save it, unless we are talking about the whole save gone to shit

Do backup as usual and fu it

[woeful prism]

I wish that Hello Games added the 180 Degree building and offset/advanced corvette techniques to the game as an optional setting.

technically it's already optional

you choose to do it or you don't

has anyone tried making something close to howl's moving castle yet

[terse kestrel]

Those boneless wings ain't chicken....

[golden tundra]

oh man lmao

[balmy cedar]

Pirate killing?

Uh oh

I got my corvette interior almost done for my Stolen Blade

So many pics

So here's the office

[broken kettle]

What's the weapon to use which does insane damage when you add a bunch of them?

[raven rover]

Phase beams

6

[fossil prairie]

is that a corvette?? 🥵

so creative

[stuck halo]

question.. the parts u get from either pirates,derelicts or somewhere else , are from the same loot pool right ? or some parts need specific ways to get them like pirate only etc...

[silent agate]

By parts meaning only exo suit, starship, multi-tool equipment which does have a higher rating then s class, to be honest you question didnt really make alot of sense 🤣

[stuck halo]

i meant corvete parts

why would i ask for something non corvete related on a corvete centered channel i do wonder 0_0

[raven rover]

No

[silent agate]

No

[raven rover]

Theyre all on the same pool

There might be rarer parts but im not sure

Ive seen some say that rarer parts can be found on pirate systems but i havent confirmed it yet

[stuck halo]

also the item we get from the expedition to search for derelicts is good for searching fer those parts ?

[raven rover]

ive just been digging up salvage on a moon

[raven rover]

No

Finding a moon with salvageable scrap is the fastest way

while using a corvette too

scan for the scraps

Shoot it from your ship

No need to tp down and dig

[stuck halo]

also a weird question but.. how long would one need to gather all types of parts ? from moons,pirates

[raven rover]

Not long tbh

[stuck halo]

thats reasurring XD many thanks

[raven rover]

I got almost all the parts from like 2 hrs of searching

Quantity wise tho...

[stuck halo]

problem would be if one would need more of the same no ?

[raven rover]

this is all from 1 moon

[raven rover]

Yes

Could just trade for it

[stuck halo]

so we have to pray each time XD are those tradeable ?

[raven rover]

Yeah

[stuck halo]

what a sync we did have...

[raven rover]

[stuck halo]

xD

[raven rover]

I'd just do this

Find salvage for around 2 hrs

See what you can build with those parts

If you need more, just go search again

If you need a specific part

Just trade for it using other parts that you have a surplus of

Afaik a reactor is pretty good for trading

Or at least, trade the same type as the part youre trying to get

[stuck halo]

ok but how do we scan for parts ?

im KINDA new into the salvage business..

[fair pilot]

Look for planet with salvageable scrap (you can see it in planet resources after scan). Go to this planet. On it look for golden "wi-fi" symbol. Mark it, fly to it, undig and mine or shoot with photon cannon/cyclotron ballista from air.

[faint field]

Will interior decoration resources return if moving or deleting habitation modules?

Nvm seems I'll have to manually delete decorations to get all resources back. 😮‍💨

[steep smelt]

Which reactor should I get for Aeron Corvette made by ambassador class hub and cockpit

[steep smelt]

Discovered this after I made the ship 😂

[random zinc]

One of the reasons I keep using my corvette is that switching to another ship is likely to scramble the tech slot arrangement.

[hoary agate]

Will modules shuffle if u fill all tech slots?

[abstract crow]

They did to me before.

[hoary agate]

Ok

[abstract crow]

But that was like two patch/updates ago

[fair pilot]

I've got modules yoloyed just recently, when I joined the friend.

[random zinc]

They definitely have reduced when it happens, but it still happens

For me, at least, only the modules that come from ship parts shift around.

[vague stump]

conclusion 1: Bubble tubes make great fuel/coolant pipes

conclusion 2: need to be more glowy, they dont really show up well in space

[hoary agate]

Can u put glowig elements in them?

[vague stump]

I'm not sure you can place things inside them

[hoary agate]

I mean first place glowy things where pipes will go . Then build pipes on top of them.

[abstract crow]

The atlas shield spheres of death look neat as decorations. Mine accidentally clipped through the roof of my ship and really add to the ominous ambiance.

[kind flint]

Good Morning!

[meager sparrow]

Haven't built a corvette outside of expeditions yet so i have a question: as many corvette parts add tech, is it a better idea to build a minimalist one, max it's tech slots and fill them with useful stuff before finalizing it's outside look?

[fair pilot]

Look > stats

You have to like the corvette to use it.

However, there are methods to squeeze parts into small places.

Like, 2 parts one into each other, 3 into place of 2, 9 into place of 4 etc.

So you can naturally, through simple offsets and glitches, squeeze all the required tech parts into small place.

Imo, optimal tech layout is 2 of each reactor (3d give the smallest bonus), 3 engines

But I'm sacrificin pair of CETOs to squeeze 3 of each other reactor.

[terse kestrel]

There is a post on Reddit talking about how they're sick of seeing modded Corvettes and they want to see people's Corvette builds without using mods or glitches.

Many commenters are questioning the posted Corvettes and accusing them of using mods or glitches. It really goes to show that the average player doesn't understand what a mod or glitch is.

If people would just take 5 minutes to learn a couple of these tricks they wouldn't be so against some of these builds so much

[fair pilot]

tbh glitches rather looks like "this was intended, but cut due to some reasons".

For me, at least.

[terse kestrel]

Yeah I don't consider offset and rotating glitches. Because we're not creating or forcing new snap points. We're just manipulating pre-existing snap points

[fair pilot]

Offset and 180 rotation at least.

The window free placement is other type of beast too, tho.

[terse kestrel]

A lot of wire glitching and Base building involves creating your own snap point where there isn't one. And that's not really Corvette building.

[terse kestrel]

Yes. Agree on that

[fair pilot]

I can understand why we could not rotate hubs on non-90 degree angles by design, but some parts definitely crying for free placement and more rotation freedom than we currently have.

Also we need some flat parts to be able to cover ugliness of corvette hubs...

[terse kestrel]

I'm hoping they give us rotational ability without taking away the ability to rotate our habs. Because it's still a useful trick combined with offsetting

[fair pilot]

Ah, weird question - why sometimes hubs on screenshot looks way more spacious than I'm seeing on my screen?

FOV?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah FOV

There's a lot of awkward viewpoints like that in this game. Only because hello games has spent so much fine-tuning the game for VR players

EXOcraft are the best example. Which is why they handle so differently between third person and first person

[fair pilot]

I'm usually setting up wide FOV because I'm playing on 21:9 huge screen, and it probably cramps the interior.

[terse kestrel]

Hello games doesn't get enough credit for the master class level of designing the game to be perfect for VR players while not making it blatantly obvious for non VR players that they are playing a VR game

[fair pilot]

xD

[terse kestrel]

It's like watching a 3D movie without 3D glasses. You can just tell it's supposed to be 3d. But they managed to take that out while still giving a good VR experience

[fair pilot]

I have meta quest 3, but cannot make it work with pc games normally. Quality is awful despite potent gpu and really good network at home.

[terse kestrel]

Yeah the VR popularity bubble Burst again. And third party support and developer support of the devices went away really fast. Everybody was excited for it cuz they thought it was finally happening. The mass market wanted vr.

Whomp whomp

Until they can shrink VR headsets down to be nothing more than slightly heavier glasses you put over your eyes most people won't go for it.

[fair pilot]

I hope we'll get some badass prebuilt corvette as expedition reward.

[vague stump]

I wish the parts had more rotations. its annoying that a lot of parts can only be mirrored

more snap points on parts would be nice too

let us put shit on our engines

[random zinc]

I have just the glitch for you 🙂

[vague stump]

will the glitch let me vertical mirror titan heavy boosters?

[random zinc]

yeah, I think it does. As long as you can rotate the window into an appropriate rotation.

[fair pilot]

What are these blue big "fields" on some corvettes?

[random zinc]

bugs?

[vague stump]

I think its a base part, some sort of monitor

or could be a bug

IDK

[fair pilot]

It's definitely intended to be there, because I'm seeing it often on modded corvettes.

But still interesting.

[random zinc]

just because it's intended doesn't mean it's not a bug

[kind flint]

Anyone have a good setup for large corvettes and a small base where the Corvette parks nicely. (Pictures Please)

[stable root]

how can i make a good corvette, imo this looks like a cry for help 😭

[terse kestrel]

I have no clue what that is. It doesn't look like any base or decoration part in the list. Even resized

[fair pilot]

Base still not working with corvettes properly.

[stable root]

(ignore the wing, for some reason its "not connected")

[kind flint]

I had that issue last night but I just kept working on it until I liked it.

[fair pilot]

More visual parts. Experiment.

[stable root]

i mean i try to add some cool parts but if i want to add idk more guns, then i have no space

[kind flint]

I know, I have to redesign all my bases now just to not be trapped.

[fair pilot]

I tried, still not working properly.

But the most promising way is "build a TP room as grounded as possible".

[terse kestrel]

EXOcraft race intiator

[ripe axle]

practice makes perfect.

[terse kestrel]

Someone in the main sub figured it out

That's cool actually. Makes for a nice little force field effect

[fair pilot]

Oh, ty.

modded as fk xD

[terse kestrel]

Yep

[raven rover]

i need to put that on my ship

[terse kestrel]

My guess is it's the perfect item for some sort of placeholder they needed in the moment. Modders do modder things 😂

[raven rover]

I tried using the wall screen as a energy barrier of some kind

Since the back of the wall screen has no stuff on it

But i cant pass thru it 😔

[terse kestrel]

@raven rover

#nms-showcase-corvettes message

Finished my ancient ruin Corvette last night. Not adding anything else to it. Loads perfectly in the anomaly and anytime I go into Corvette builder I get nothing but errors about disconnected parts 😂

[raven rover]

Sickk buildd mannn

Bro the disconnected parts is so ass

[terse kestrel]

I tested it last night. Deleted easily 100 decorations and was still getting the disconnect error

[raven rover]

I got that too

Its the fuckin wall hologram screen thing

I deleted all of my deco and that was the problem

its those goddamn hologram screens

check if you have those placed

[placid musk]

my first "fighter" corvette design, lmk what i should add or take away

[lone sluice]

In my not so professional professional opinion, it looks good 👍

[terse kestrel]

I have no suggestions myself. That looks great.

[placid musk]

thanks i was really proud i could fit 3 habs in there and still have a thunderbird loading bay directly behind my cockpit for quick stop and gos

[lone sluice]

Yeah, it looks very good. U did a good job with it

[terse kestrel]

If you like quick in and out directly off the cockpit I suggest trying out a drop ship for your next build.

I just walk out of my cockpit and drop off the side

[leaden flame]

Appearances aside, are there any practical reasons to use a traditional ship type instead of a corvette? Can you fit as many tech upgrades on corvettes? Seems like they have some major practical advantages, wondering if there's a trade off.

[limpid quiver]

corvettes don't have landing pads and just spawn at you whenever you tp to base

[wooden grail]

I personally use legacy ships instead due to corvettes not having a lot of QoL features I’d want in a feature like that. Also I like the simplicity of legacy ships. At the end of the day it mainly boils down to preference unless HG adds something to give legacy ships a leg up.

[leaden flame]

They have the little teleporter though, seems like an advantage as it saves on launch fuel (although with a charger that doesn't matter much) and lets you hit the ground in more areas where there isn't space to land normally?

[junior ore]

There's no way to unlock a hatch from the outside? Like I noticed I stood on the thunderbird landing bay platform as it went up accidentally stepped off and couldn't work out a way to open it again

[limpid quiver]

ye

[leaden flame]

Are there qol features that legacy ships have that corvettes don't? I guess the solar sail things and other stat boosts unique to specific ship types, but anything more impactful?

It seems to me that corvettes have the qol advantage due to features like refiner, mission board, ability to scan while on autopilot, teleporter, storage etc.

[visual rivet]

me when federal drop ship

is it possible to change the color of the inside of the corvettes? The ambasador hull has a lot of lighting issues for me

or make like a regular door would be cool for EVAs and fishing off the top of the ship

[wooden grail]

My main gripes with corvettes is not being able to delete a corvette entirely and get the parts back which honestly should’ve been a feature on day one. Second is the lack of landing pads obviously. Third is just how slow they turn compared to legacy ships which isn’t really an issue it’s just something I don’t like.

[terse kestrel]

No you cant access the switch from the outside. And the Thunderbird Bay has a nasty habit of closing when you don't want it to.

Drop a save beacon, save and reload. It will reload with an open hatch

[visual rivet]

also warping in multiplayer just straight up doesnt work and theres a bug where sentinels will track you into space stations sometimes

buggy asf 😭

[terse kestrel]

The first one isn't there cause we have a bug in which deleted Corvette parts literally disappear sometimes when deleting them. So to do that to a whole Corvette would be ass

I've never had sents follow me into space stations before. That one's new

[wooden grail]

My point still stands and if it’s a bug it’ll obviously be fixed at some point

[terse kestrel]

Like short range teleporters

Will get them eventually

If they are able to be built it shows they want them there. They just have to iron out how to make it work.

[wooden grail]

I think corvettes are awesome but parts of it definitely did come out half baked

[limpid quiver]

i wish corvettes get a docking port one day

because i don't want my corvette to spawn on me when i tp between bases

[wooden grail]

Considering how much it’s been talked about it’s practically guaranteed at this point

[random zinc]

There are some bugs which have apparently been there for years, so who knows... they may never be fixed.

[limpid quiver]

ye

[wooden grail]

I’m mainly talking about bugs relating to corvettes

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

[wooden grail]

Since its clear HG is trying to make corvettes into one of their main selling points

[random zinc]

yeah, if track record is anything, you can't read anything into anything

just be happy with what you get and work around what you don't

[hoary agate]

Not really selling point imo. When looking how bugged corvettes are

[wooden grail]

Yeah but when you consider how much player numbers have spiked when expedition 19 came out they definitely won’t stop working on corvettes any time soon

[hoary agate]

Nms is focused on exploration so imo they will polish corvettes ,give few new things and move on.

[wooden grail]

Maybe, it really does make you wonder how much more they are really going to add on the exploration side though.

[balmy cedar]

I hope we get a mix of new stuff to explore and more means for exploration

I don't think I could fly anything more than a corvette

I got used to the slower speeds

[random zinc]

my corvette moves faster than my sentinel interceptor by a hair (even though it has vastly better stats)

[proper breach]

I lost my Expedition parts because of this and I'm pissed

[terse kestrel]

The atlas parts? If you claimed your rewards from the Quicksilver vendor he would have given you blueprints to craft as many Atlas parts as you want.

They are like Base building parts. In which you got to have the materials in your inventory while you're crafting your corvette.

But they should be available on your Corvette list to build if you claimed the blueprints. Just greyed out until you have the required mats in your inventory

[shadow wraith]

I mean, the best you can do at that point is to file edit the class back to A, or to add the specific SC and missing inventory slots

[proper breach]

I changed the settings to free everything and they won't even show up as options to build with

[shadow wraith]

Otherwise, just sell it off

[unborn sundial]

mmm gonna farm and just do another one

more fear to me

[shadow wraith]

I have a test corvette with 6x10 SC slots with 3x Pulse Engines, and it hasn't broken my saves once

[terse kestrel]

Do they show up in your list of unlocked items in your progress trackers?

[shadow wraith]

Still, best to backup the entire folder

[proper breach]

I got them from inventory exchange from the Expedition.
I checked the quicksilver shop, they aren't in there to buy

[terse kestrel]

Well I would definitely file a bug report. Missing rewards are something they can usually address fairly quickly.

If all else fails that expedition will be reran by the end of the year. So you can at least run it again to get those parts

[unborn sundial]

i have a backup

[terse kestrel]

At the Quicksilver vendor you have to choose the option on the bottom to claim your expedition rewards. This is where you get the blueprints for the parts

[proper breach]

Idk, I'll have to check

[terse kestrel]

The terminal is just there to transfer your items from expedition to your main save.

Your rewards come from the Quicksilver vendor

[proper breach]

I didn't see anything to claim expedition rewards. Usually it's not an issue

[shadow wraith]

Press A/D or L/R to view their proper expedition set?

[terse kestrel]

Option 3.

If you have done other expeditions and you've never claimed those rewards you may have other expedition rewards in there unclaimed

[proper breach]

Unless it's another glitch and I have to restart to get it to show up
Like the derelict Freighters being stuck at a 45° angle

Never had an issue claiming rewards before

I went there and the option to accept rewards wasn't there

[terse kestrel]

Wtf

Yeah you definitely need to file a bug report. Send a screenshot to them of the Quicksilver vendor without that option

Issues like that are usually handled within the few days.

Once they fix it you may have the option to claim quite a few things from previous expeditions if you haven't before

[proper breach]

I haven't played since, so I'll see if it pops up next time

[proper breach]

I've never had that issue before. I assumed I claimed them already

Which I'm actually pretty sure I did 🤔

Because you got a poster and some other stuff

[random zinc]

From Galaxy Quest: "my ship will tear through yours like tissue paper." This is how I feel when using phase beams on my corvette against pirate ships.

[proper breach]

That's how my Royal feels with the Infra Knife.

[shadow wraith]

Funny enough, my 3x Cyclotron destroys Freighters just as fast as my 6x Phase Beams

It really sucks against fighters tho

[random zinc]

One sub-second blast with 6 phase beams is enough to shred a pirate-entity

[shadow wraith]

It takes 2 seconds just because of the tick

It's annoying really

[proper breach]

I might have to try that

[random zinc]

it's certainly a bug that I'm guessing they'll nerf

but they might not 🙂

[shadow wraith]

While going at it, can they buff the Positron

[random zinc]

If it were me, I'd nerf it back to ordinary phase beam levels by only having two beams regardless of how many guns you put on the corvette

[shadow wraith]

Or limit it to the exact gun amount

[random zinc]

the problem(?) is that all guns fire at the same time at whatever powered up phase beam dps you have configured assuming there are only two beams

[shadow wraith]

I.E if there's only 3x phase beam turrets out of 6 turrets, it only fires exclusively to those three

It retains the damage, but not cranked enough due to the additional 3

[golden radish]

or better yet, make the damage calculation independent of beams fired

[random zinc]

that would still be op I think (Winter's solution, not Acidule's)

[small pebble]

i love the ungodly amount of phase beams you can feasibly put on one corvette

its helped me a lot too with the pirate freighters

[terse kestrel]

They could fix phase beams by only making one beam do damage per platform. Not both.

But if they did that then legacy ships with only one phase beam platform would do less damage

They would have to come out with some sort of exclusive weapon platform similar to the phase beam for the corvette. Coded to be different than the main one

[random zinc]

Non-corvettes fire two guns for most weapons

The corvette fires from all guns, but due to the way phase beams work, they all fire simultaneously

[balmy cedar]

I like phase beams

[balmy cedar]

After 3 I think the other beams are cosmetic

The rest is placebo

[random zinc]

so either limiting it to two beams or nerfing the calculation similarly will make the dps shown on the tech be a reality

[terse kestrel]

But 3 = 6 with phase beams.

Not like that for any other weapon

[balmy cedar]

Yea

[random zinc]

no, that's the "bug". They all fire and every pair of beam does the dps. Other guns don't have this problem because they have a fixed rate of fire

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

[balmy cedar]

Seems like a nonissue

[random zinc]

If you have 6 guns and phase beams to 8000dps, then you will do 42000dps. If you have 6 guns and infra-knife does 16000 dps, then you will do 16000 dps even though knives are coming from all guns.

[terse kestrel]

HG devs in shambles right now knowing that we're melting their weak ass pirates in 3 seconds rather than 5 😭

[runic bluff]

The 3 guns that benefit from more barrels are Phase Beam, Cyclotron, and Positron

As all of these fire simultaneously instead of cycling barrels

[terse kestrel]

I put three positron on my Corvette and I could barely see anything while they were firing off.

It was just flashing lights, explosions and death...

[runic bluff]

I like how Positron with 12 barrels SHAKES the screen

[balmy cedar]

Lowkey I'm happy with the phase beams... I didn't realize they were that OP

[random zinc]

while I expect they will be nerfed, I still shamelessly use them to tear through pirate dreadnought encounters

[balmy cedar]

I usually only use them in pairs of 2

[terse kestrel]

Easily. You can have all the shield domes destroyed along the trench in front of you before you're even halfway down the trench

[balmy cedar]

Hmm

[terse kestrel]

Sweep over the engine and wipe them. And then three seconds to kill the freighter

[balmy cedar]

My lobster melts the dreddies faster than I'd care to admit

Then I make them pay me tribute

And then I nuke them

Heh

[random zinc]

yeah, but the wait for the fuel rods feels longer 🙂

[terse kestrel]

But at the same time they could be more fun. But since they are so easy to kill they feel like more of a chore you have to complete when you go into a system.

[balmy cedar]

Wait I'm not just supposed to ram my ship into the fuel rods?

[terse kestrel]

I don't even bother with the fuel rods. I just roll down one trench, wipe the domes, hit up the other trench, kill the engines and blow it up

[balmy cedar]

I usually kill the shields, engines and guns

Then I get paid by the captain

Before I blow the ship up

Heh heh heh

[random zinc]

If I take out the rods, the dreadnought dies while Iem killing the engines 🙂

[random zinc]

I don't get an S class freighter upgrade if I do that

[terse kestrel]

Yeah it seems like the quicker you kill it the more likely you are to get the s-class upgrade. Which is why I don't waste time going after their guns

[balmy cedar]

Huh I didn't realize that locked me from the S class upgrades

[terse kestrel]

Domes, engines and death. No parlay. No mercy

Doing that I get an S-Class upgrade almost every single dreadnought

[random zinc]

you should have seen me on my first dreadnought encounter I was flying around like crazy looking for the shield generators. It took a few retries to finall understand what I had to doe

[balmy cedar]

I parlay and then don't give mercy

I like being paid twice

[terse kestrel]

I think this is the earliest in a safe file I've had my freighter maxed out on Tech modules. Those dreadnoughts just hand them to you.

[balmy cedar]

Once to "spare," the ship and then a second time when I don't in fact spare the pirates

[random zinc]

I'vs read that landing on the dreadnought makes you lose the upgrade

[terse kestrel]

Way better than searching for crashed freighters and other sources

[balmy cedar]

Huh

Neat

[terse kestrel]

Lol

[random zinc]

The 3 hours between pirate encounters is a buzzkill when I can leisurely march through the Uenoh in about 20 minutes.

[balmy cedar]

3 hours?

It's like every 3rd pirate system for me

[terse kestrel]

I encounter those dreadnoughts way more frequently when bouncing from Pirate system to Pirate system

The encounters where you save the freighter from pirates flying around it happen every 3 hours. But not that pirate dreadnought battle

Like it's one reason why I quit bouncing pirate systems looking for x-class mods. Because fighting that freighter over and over gets tedious

........

And I just realized why they do that.

It prevents new players from frequenting Pirate systems hardcore and racking up a lot of nanites off flipping x-class mods.

[shadow wraith]

IIRC the freighter tech modules only drops when you destroy the dreadnought without it surrendering

[random zinc]

Seemed like I had to wait three hours. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

[kind flint]

Can someone tell me why only one of those engine looking things is lite up and spinning? The one near my head is not working.

[fair pilot]

So someone asked about base clipping. So as you can see from the screenshot, you have to position the teleporter facing AWAY from the base (that probably will spawn corvette rotated 180 degrees), on the ground, and still far enough from the base.

[terse kestrel]

It's a known visual bug. The last round of updates was supposed to fix it. And it's kind of better a bit. But some of them still don't fire when they should

The one similarity I've noticed is if you build them in an offset position they are way more likely to misfire.

Which makes sense. If the visual of it firing is supposed to line up in a certain precise spot I can understand how offsetting it by half can mess that up

All four rockhopper engines on my ancient ruin ship are in line. Not offset. And they are all currently firing at once

[fair pilot]

There is a limit on "engines" amount that will "work", and engines & landing gear & hoppers are somehow intersecting withing this limit.

[grizzled flower]

I keep getting the To Complicated to save design message when I am trying to finalize my Corvette. I had it finished and all i did was change a few colors. I am pretty new to the building corvettes but what would be my problem? Ship to big? using to many parts? I see way bigger and more complicated ships in the pictures on this feed!

[fair pilot]

Can you throw a screenshot here?

[grizzled flower]

I play in VR and have never used my monitor to play. I will see if I can figure out how to take a screen shot.

[shadow wraith]

It's most likely you went past 100 parts

Also, the picture on said feed also includes modded and glitched parts

[terse kestrel]

All four Rock hoppers not offset firing at once

[terse kestrel]

You should be able to take a screenshot directly from your GPU dashboard options. Whether it's Nvidia or amd. It will take a screen grab off the GPU itself

[fair pilot]

ah nvm then. but if you see the game UI - there might be a message 1xx/100 parts on it.

[grizzled flower]

Strange I had it complete and was using it for a while. I just wanted to throw a splash of color on it and changed the color on a few pieces and now I get the error message.

[fair pilot]

You have to fit into 100 parts...

[terse kestrel]

If you're on console playing in VR you can just use the consoles basic screenshot options and it will still take a shot. Even if not connected to a monitor

[grizzled flower]

Is there a visable part counter so I know what I am at when building it?

[shadow wraith]

It's on the top right on the regular UI

The one that displays the theoretical stats

[grizzled flower]

Thank you I will see if I can find it on my screen in VR

[terse kestrel]

it pops up a warning that you are at 80 parts when you get there. And it'll show how many left to 100

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

[grizzled flower]

Perhaps I just need to delete some "bling" and dull it down a bit.

[shadow wraith]

Color doesn't count on the parts amount btw

So it's probably that you added a singular part and ended up going past it

[fair pilot]

It may clip somewhere underneath and be not noticeable from the outside

[grizzled flower]

Last question. I build using the hab's but they are pretty small and cramped. I see pictures posted here with big open rooms in the ships. What are people using for those?

[raven rover]

hollow

Negative space

Like you just build the walls and leave the middle hollow

[grizzled flower]

Well that only makes sense! Thank you!

[raven rover]

Dont place anything there

[raven rover]

🙏

Place a entry bay/stairs to access that negative space

[shadow wraith]

I still love my hollow space that's retrofitted as an engine/hyperdrive bay

Even the lighting effects of the Titan boosters light it up

[junior ore]

are the corvette landing bays being open/closed instanced? Cos couldn't this be a way to grief, you go up to a corvette in the anomaly, close the bay from the outside then the player can't get back in

[shadow wraith]

Odd, I can open any landing bays just by being next to it

Well, as long as it's my landing bay anyways

[terse kestrel]

Kidnapping is real 😂

People can use their multi-tool force field to drag you and push you into corvettes. Lock you in there and fly away with you.

It can either be a super fun way to meet new people or a quick way to end up dumped in a volcano.....

[shadow wraith]

In the case of, ahem, intently putting players inside, if you happen to run into one, just disable multiplayer

Actually, just disable it completely for the sake of CPU/GPU cycles

[terse kestrel]

That empty feeling is why I quit playing abandoned mode

Like they could compensate in abandoned mode by at least shrinking the anomaly. Making it less accessible.

[shadow wraith]

Abandoned mode is pretty weird

It should've been a different storyline

Make abandoned space stations rare as a whole, and disable the Anomaly

[reef glen]

I don't know how it will look to others

[terse kestrel]

"Oi....mate. You got a license for that restaurant?"

[shadow wraith]

Make the storyline more related to picking up previous traveller memories

I can't wait for someone to make an Anomaly corvette

Anomaly inside the Anomaly

[fair pilot]

Every corvette is an anomaly corvette...

[shadow wraith]

No, the funny orb anomaly station

Or just the death star

[fair pilot]

From some points my 'vette looks almost like prebuilt...

[small lark]

Can you transfer/copy a corvette build from one save to another?

[fair pilot]

What the hell happened with my engine 😮

[fair pilot]

save edit.

[limpid quiver]

or copy one by one

from images

[fair pilot]

Record a video of assembling and repeat

[limpid quiver]

or that

[vocal silo]

Is there a way to install the indium+ drives on a Corvette?

[terse kestrel]

Yes but only through expedition

You have to copy your Corvette from one save file into expedition. At some point you will need to change or remove one part on your Corvette and rename it.

Once you complete the expedition and load your ship into the expedition terminal you can then claim it on any save you want.

This is also how you can duplicate a Corvette in your save that you want to replicate. Either because it's already S-Class or because it has a good supercharged slot layout

[small lark]

Mmm, okay. I might have to look up some guide anyways tho

[terse kestrel]

If you need more details or want to ask questions while you're actually completing the steps feel free to ask. Happy to give you more in-depth information when you actually go through it

Theres currently an expedition on right now. So you can do it with this one if you would want to

[fair pilot]

Same as on any other ship. You have slots - you can install tech.

[vocal silo]

See but when I pull up my menu for that, my last tech slot is blank and every other slot is taken up by the actual ship parts

[fair pilot]

You may need to add more slots to corvette.

Or you can drop some tech parts.

[marble onyx]

Party Barge done!

got some inspiration from the Campion build

but i mostly winged it

no pun intended

[vocal silo]

I can't really afford to drop anything because like I said earlier, every other slot is a ship part

[marble onyx]

isnt therre a way to nest vette parts?

[vocal silo]

I dunno I thought I'd compensate by having the better warp drives on one of my freighters, but I'm not sure how doable that actually is?

[fair pilot]

1. The ship parts that providing stats having diminishing returns, so you don't need to have 3 of each for good stats. Having place for more S/X-class upgrades will give you more.
2. You don't need more than 1 weapon type. Drop all others.

[marble onyx]

what are you tying to fit in?

i rrun exclusively infra knife

everything else is crap

[vocal silo]

Only 1 weapon? Interesting

[marble onyx]

288k dps easily

[fair pilot]

Phase beam is broken on corvettes.

Mine is almost not heating, hitting like a truck (1 tap to delete shield, 2 taps to delete ship)

[marble onyx]

infrra knife erases everrything. ive neve botheed worrrrying about any other weapons lol

[vocal silo]

I have the cyclocannon, photon array, and harpoon just cause I found most of those from scrap

[marble onyx]

realy depends on what you want. for fighter ships i push manuverrability and weapons.

fo crruises i push range and efficiency

[fair pilot]

tbh I'd like to use the photon cannon, just because it has aim assist

[marble onyx]

all weapons have assist

wiki says otherwise.

[marble onyx]

i saw sorry about that

ive never noticed a difference myself. but ive been exclusively infa knife for over a yea lol

[final chasm]

can anyone explain how I use freighter/base part colours to change the colour of my corvette? saw the pink/teal comment earlier but can’t seem to find how to do it.

[fair pilot]

You can put couches, lockers or etc on the outside of the frigate in interior building mode.

Then go to the corvette building interface, edit corvette, point the cursor on the parts you placed outside, edit colors of it, hit "apply to entire corvette".

[final chasm]

ok awesome, I’ll give it a go. thanks a lot!

[fair pilot]

I'm using the coach on the roof, for example.

[final chasm]

that looks great, thanks so much

[fair pilot]

btw texture types are corresponds to corvette standard colours texture types, i.e. gloss/inverted gloss/rusted/metallic, not whatever the part texture type says.

[granite lantern]

worth keeping for a corvette?

[balmy cedar]

Yea

[granite lantern]

well im technically going for 4x connected

[balmy cedar]

Gotcha

Good luck with that RNG yo

[granite lantern]

ty <3

[terse kestrel]

It's not about the corvette. It's about the friends we make along the way 😭

[balmy cedar]

It's voluntary kidnapping yup

[kind flint]

OK went my corvette is over my base and I teleport up and sit in the chair then hit E it lands the corvette instead of making me get out of the chair. What am I doing wrong?

[fair pilot]

x > leave pilot seat

[kind flint]

Ohhh ok use X not E thanks

[wraith nimbus]

Working no my corvette interiors hope u like it 🙇🏻‍♂️

[kind flint]

Guess I got use to the E on Shipships

[abstract crow]

Maybe I should turn the large lower section of my corvette interior into a mosh pit or something.

[kind flint]

I am thinking I might have too many parts in mt corvette not much room to add anymore things.

Or can I add more Tech slots after the one I have left

[fair pilot]

You need more slots.

You can add like on normal ships

[kind flint]

So you can add more even if they don't show more right now?

[fair pilot]

Yes

Like on normal ships.

[kind flint]

As I only see one blank spot

[abstract crow]

Lots of nanites

[kind flint]

So that is the Class thing?

[abstract crow]

Credits for buying more slots. My bad.

Or those storage augmentation things.

[shadow crown]

You can also use an exploit to add slots

[abstract crow]

Nanites for class

[shadow crown]

Which iirc works beyond the typical class boundary (still caps at 60 though)

[kind flint]

But I thought you could only add slot you can see. Did not know could add even more

[shadow crown]

Ships have up to 60 tech slots at S

[abstract crow]

As you buy/add more, more slots appear.

[fair pilot]

There was a corvette meetup ad for the weekends on reddit, but I cannot find it now. Anyone can send me the link?

[trail hornet]

holy peak

[west hamlet]

Sorry to everyone in there

I think one dude dead crashed ngl

His ship dissapeared

[fervent mist]

What’s this!? That sounds so cool

[fair pilot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NOMANSSKY/s/qkH8tSrIOd

Just found again

[celest holly]

Wait, that must be modded tho?

[west hamlet]

Like modded appearance or?

[celest holly]

Dunno i'm not on pc dunno what possible there lol
Thought like modded corvette building

[trail hornet]

base building app you mean?

def comp mod too

[celest holly]

Could be i mean the corvette build is limited in the base game so i thought this must be a mod since i can't do that on ps5 lol

[trail hornet]

well i can't see anyone building that outside the app

and then obviously the complexity mod is used aswell

[west hamlet]

Complex it you is a must at this point for majority of the builder

For pc

[trail hornet]

yea true

[west hamlet]

No blender tho

Blender seems interesting

A lot more to play with

[celest holly]

This was on ps5 and it seems like i can't attache any more parts besides underneath lol

[west hamlet]

Yeah complexity mod needed

[small lark]

Hey, ehm, can you connect the teleporters in the corvette? I can build them, but cannot connect them with the cable

[west hamlet]

But PS so

[west hamlet]

Short range teleporter?

[small lark]

Yes

[west hamlet]

I don't think they work on corvette last time I checked

You can place it but cable won't connect

But that was months ago

Right now might still be the same

[small lark]

I dont see any snap points for the cable, yeah

[trail hornet]

afaik they dont work

[granite lantern]

bro i got like 5 3+1s now 💔🥀😭

[ember plaza]

hai

what else can i do for my corvettt

i built it

uh

how do i furnish it

i want like a dining table n shit

[trail hornet]

open the build menu inside it

[ember plaza]

that only lets me do medic pods n stuff

not actual furniture or decor

[trail hornet]

go to the next tab over

[ember plaza]

besides a plant

[trail hornet]

you might need to research furniture via the anomaly

[ember plaza]

do i gotta do the main story

its so boringggggg

[trail hornet]

you should have the anomaly like right off the bat 😭

you just need salvaged data modules to get furniture

[ember plaza]

i have the anomaly

ooh i got 58 datas

[trail hornet]

should be enough

[ember plaza]

i wanna add like cargo areas

sleepin areas

[trim crest]

Anyone know any good ways to use the ambassador cockpit in a corvette build? I like how the view inside has no lines or anything like the other cockpits, but the design outside is really curvy

[ember plaza]

all the stuff

[unreal tendon]

Get to room with Anomaly holotank upstairs it's middle left terminal.

[ember plaza]

this is my ship with it

u gotta raise it up a level

[unreal tendon]

I really like that one.

[ember plaza]

ty

[trim crest]

Yea that's a pretty nice ship

[ember plaza]

the ambassador cockpits kinda like a bird head

u gotta raise it up a bit

maybe add some supports or wutever on top

[unreal tendon]

Schnoz

[ember plaza]

they need to add this as a cockpit

this would be awesome

[unreal tendon]

Honestly, only reason I don't use Ambassador now is because I like Thunderbird entryway and don't want style clash.

[ember plaza]

or one thats like the milleniumnfalcon

hows thunderbird look

ive only used ambassador

[trim crest]

I just felt unsatisfied with my ship for awhile. Like I was struggling with figuring out what kind of style I want on it, and when I kinda got it we got a new expedition with new parts

[ember plaza]

u need i spirstion

inspiration

[ember plaza]

damn

thats awesome

i have all 3 hulls on one ship

[trim crest]

True but like, im not really a spaceship person

[ember plaza]

i didnt know the difference

[unreal tendon]

Titan is Frontier from Starfield, an Ambassador and Thunderbird are Alien, civilian and military respectively.

According to wiki

[ember plaza]

eut

wut

titan is alien

[unreal tendon]

Sorry, Thunderbird is Frontier, Titan is Alien

[ember plaza]

yeah

wait

[unreal tendon]

I'm goddamned idiot.

[ember plaza]

im still confused

dont mention starfield

i never played it

so ambassador is militsy

military

wheres the wiki

[unreal tendon]

Ambassador is civ

[ember plaza]

civilian

makes sense

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Corvette

@ember plaza

[ember plaza]

Thunderbird - pragmatic and gritty with exposed pipework
Ambassador - elegant, round, soft, clean, retro-futuristic
Titan - militaristic, with many monitoring panels, buttons, gauges, screens

ambassador is awesome

but i like exposed teh

tech

there’s also rockhopper shit

and other classes

[unreal tendon]

I love rockhopper wings.

[ember plaza]

rockhopper is awesome

[ember plaza]

me toooooo

and the

propellers

i love to imagine futuristic tech is based on old fashioned tech

where it serves no real purpose but its so advanced it can be shaped whatever

[unreal tendon]

Haven't built anything big so far, aside of 3 cubed brick (bad idea), but latest version looks compact and nice though cribbed from showcase.

[ember plaza]

can i see ur ship

[unreal tendon]

Sorry, computer is off already and I have work tomorrow.

[ember plaza]

its okay

im not even home rn either

[fervent mist]

When you can't even say my name
Has the memory gone? Are you feeling numb?

[abstract crow]

I'm thinking most of these Atlas parts are quickly becoming my new favorite parts for corvettes.

[woeful prism]

Yeah I mean an official feature

[gaunt totem]

Awww... that's too bad. It made me happy to see it there every time I went in and out of my rig.

[ember plaza]

i didnt get the atlas parts :(

[fair pilot]

redux will happen

[final chasm]

thanks a lot - this is good to know. having a play around with the colours now. much appreciated

[abstract crow]

The Atlas parts are certainly game changers for me. They really help with hull designs, wing designs, noses, and trim..

[fair pilot]

And for me they're not helping at all yet...

Only the trim sometimes.

[unreal tendon]

One little annoyance I have is that cargo racks aren't detected by crafting nor refiner, but I've noticed it's same for every version.

[fair pilot]

Freighter is the solution

[unreal tendon]

Cargo racks in freighter are accessible by player crafting?

[long pawn]

It looks great. You did a good job on your corvette!

[fervent mist]

left one is my ship
right one is my corvette

I have no knowledge i just made one

[tame patio]

As long as you can fly it then it's good.

[fervent mist]

it can fly

I am happy

[tame patio]

Also try to put parts of a similar class next to each other so the landing gears next to the launch thruster and engines next to the pulse drive.

[fervent mist]

where atlas was there I found a good planet to loot without sentinal wopping my ass

[tame patio]

If you need more arts look for salvage scrap when scanning planets, if you destroy them you get corvette parts. It's easy to end up with lots.

[terse kestrel]

Now that you have a basic Corvette you can rack up a ton of pieces in a short time looting scrap from the air. A good hour of flying over a planet with scrap and you will fill up your inventory with parts. Many of which are extras that you can sell for Bank
