nms-corvette-discussion

[oak belfry]

I'd love to play around with stuff but the "editor mode" is just pure pain.

[abstract crow]

You could try the base builder app. Build a corvette in there instead. But i feel like that would be even worse with interior design.

[night blaze]

Anyone here have any info on the Corvettes & Coffee meet ups?

Saw one on Instagram, looked fun

[fair pilot]

always save the posts with such things

[cursive lark]

I can send you a link to their discord if you'd like

[kind glacier]

what are the best super charged layouts for corvettes/ships?

[crude kernel]

I need feedback on my corvette. I'm planning to add some curvature to smoothen out the design as the current design is too 'boxy,' but I don't know how to implement it. Any input is much appreciated.

[night blaze]

Please! Shoot me a DM if you have a second

[cursive lark]

Coming

[night blaze]

Thanks

[cursive lark]

Check dm

[swift mist]

use less habs and use offsets to smoothen it out

[fair pilot]

Corvette teleporting issues solved for my current base. Except this.

[abstract crow]

Literally unplayable

[fair pilot]

yk, r?

The only thing that stops my farm from working is low yield of starbulb

[abstract crow]

One of these days I'll get back to work on my base. I'm going to need to make changes to my corvette docking area again.

[fair pilot]

I need more corvette parts options. HG when.

[abstract crow]

After we get doors

[fair pilot]

btw I probably was the first one who used the arcadia wings gap for hoppers instead of placing wings together, but now I'm seeing build from other players with such solution xD

Still working on a shape from time to time...

But Arcadia S-foil makes fine hull part if places in a proper place

[graceful kraken]

Just finished my Atlas corvette

[fair pilot]

Sooooo
Imo, maglev landing gear shouldn't be limited to the bottom of the corvette only.
Or hoppers should work as landing gear replacement.

[abstract crow]

If only.

[fair pilot]

Cause that looks like weird udder for some reason xD

yet normal "legs" look even worse, and there is no place for thunderbird landing...

[balmy cedar]

Lobter

[fair pilot]

lobstah

[balmy cedar]

I think I made mine visually distict from the original

[fair pilot]

more parts will allow you smooth it.

[balmy cedar]

Here's the OG "Larry the Lobster,"

[fair pilot]

outside front bottom side of the claw looks better on the original for me, but you did good with atlas parts.

[true oxide]

Just finished my new corvette

[balmy cedar]

Thx

I was wanting a more... Mecha look tbh

Like a bad guy mecha

I wanna make a lobster Voltron

[tight relic]

your corvet is too big, go smaller please

[errant depot]

I already did 👍

[tight relic]

XDDDDD

[errant depot]

Though this is the smallest you can get while maintaining the ability to fly in first person without looking through a window

[fair pilot]

How ya can be satisifed with these microcorvettes... My has corvettes has to be... Ya know, corvettes.

[tight relic]

microvorvettes are fun because you can be creative

ex. with resize glitch you can have a flying bike

[errant depot]

I just don’t need that much space, idk what to do with it

[errant depot]

Fym resize glitch i thought that was a mod?

[burnt cosmos]

the name has a reason then (joking) 😛

[tight relic]

idk, but maybe

[fair pilot]

I'm ultimately failing every time I'm trying to make a small 'vette xD

[tight relic]

i never actualy looked up how to do it*

[fair pilot]

Tho purely visually I can make my 'vette like 2x or 3x smaller keeping stats.

[tight relic]

but now i will try to work on a massive scrapper for corvet (space and planetary expeditions) with a meeting point and maybe some processing parts?

idk really but i'll try to make smth nice

[fair pilot]

Drop extra hubs, drop hoppers and arcadia wings...

[tight relic]

small vett

[errant depot]

I’ve made bigger corvettes, but my favorite ships all have 1 hab or 1 walkway (or in this case just a loading bay)

[tight relic]

big vett (not my design but i can reproduce it)

[fair pilot]

Red - engines, yellow - reactors, blue - living space

[bronze spoke]

Is there any way to get the atlas corvette parts even tho the expedition ended?

[fair pilot]

And breakdown of living space (cyan is 1 block longer, miscalculated) - blue is landing bay, yellow is service deck, cyan is living space.

[fair pilot]

Expedition will be redux soon.

[bronze spoke]

Do u know how soon it is?

[fair pilot]

Reactors occupying 2 blocks long and 2 blocks high space, but actually there are 9 of them, not just 4.

[fair pilot]

In 2.5 weeks approx?

[errant depot]

Why are NMS screenshots so big 😭 I can’t upload like 4 of my larger corvette builds

[bronze spoke]

Ight ty

[fair pilot]

https://www.nomanssky.com/2025/11/holiday-expeditions-2025/

Check the article

[errant depot]

Whenever I try to go bigger it’s usually to get a specific shape or I end up filling the space with nonsense

[fair pilot]

Yeah, my corvette have plenty of usable space imo.

[tight relic]

wait it is already gone?

[bronze spoke]

Yeah unfortunately 😔

[tight relic]

ffs i had no time to do it

[bronze spoke]

Was busy with school and didn’t even realize

[tight relic]

fortunatly, rerun

[errant depot]

Honestly I’d probably make bigger ones if the habs would connect into open areas like the freighter expansion rooms

[near path]

I'm sure a kind person wouldnt mind gifting you some parts in the meantime

[fair pilot]

I'd add more hubs if only for proper work they hadn't be connected in a straight cubic patterns and if they were not so ugly.

Hubs are damn ugly

Even as of now I'm placing whatever the fuck is placeable over them to make them less awful

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

[fair pilot]

btw 2 hubs placed side by side spawn some additional shape between them to look more like a whole.

[errant depot]

I also wish certain pieces just had more convenient shapes, like the ambassador class loading bay would be a perfect alternative for the titan if it just didn’t have that slightly lower roof which prevents it from being used as a “door” inside of a hab area

[fair pilot]

And guess what? NOT OTHER FKN PART DO THAT WITH HUBS

[fair pilot]

Oh yes, also if you "lowered" the hub to the ground and added amby loading bay - it doesn't allow you enter too.

[errant depot]

Yeah I read that wrong

[fair pilot]

But titan bay cannot be exposed from the sides, because it's ugly black tech panels

You have to cover it...

[crude kernel]

holy ty for sharing this, looks awesome

[fair pilot]

What I don't like in amby entrance - it has like twice smaller ramp and entrance itself.

[balmy cedar]

Thx

[errant depot]

That’s actually why I want to use it, the ramp has a different angle and the size is less obtrusive when you build it into things

[fair pilot]

So even jetpacking into it when it is fully opened is non-trivial task sometimes.

[remote cape]

Was titan the one that has the living ship?

[errant depot]

One trick I’ve really gotten attached to is having the buttons for controlling the doors/teleporting down inside of or right outside the cockpit, so that they’re right there when you get up from the seat

[fair pilot]

Yes, Wraith.

[fickle lagoon]

yeah iirc, titan or relics

[hollow totem]

any feedback on what i should change?

[remote cape]

Kinda hard to really see it. Try shining the sun on it.

[fair pilot]

Your understanding of corvette building. 😄

And before that joke became offensive, I'll explain.

I mean, there is def something you probably could change.

But the corvette is only good when YOU like it, while others will suggest something that THEY like.

[abstract crow]

Make it larger and put more guns

Like that.

[fair pilot]

Explaining further: it is worth to ask others when you want to achieve some specific shape, but cannot.

[hollow totem]

until they make the parts not be in the tech inventory i cant do that

[fair pilot]

Then we'll try to provide something specifically for your vision.

[abstract crow]

You can do that, but you don't want to because of your own reasons. That's what the other person is trying to get at. Do what you want. We're all naturally biased

[hollow totem]

do still think the parts shouldnt count in the tech inventory

[past atlas]

can we put short range teleporter on corvette?

[abstract crow]

No. They don't work without mods anyways.

[past atlas]

I see, so i have to use mods to make them work

[abstract crow]

Every time I see that question, I laugh a little internally as I think about my massive cruisers and how even I don't need a teleporter anyways.

Probably need a mod to even place them now.

[past atlas]

Yeah im planning to make a massive corvette and the cockpit is a bit high

My corvette will be similiar like this

Also, can someone tell me what should i put on my corvette?, because there is many types of generator and thing, and i dont understand what they do and do i have to put 3 or 1 is enough

[abstract crow]

If you want a truly big corvette, you'll need mods to surpass the complexity limit and build area size.

[fair pilot]

my GF says that even my corvette is huge af

[random zinc]

How can I make sure my corvette is wheelchair accessible?

[fair pilot]

single-deck, titan entrance

tho any entrance works prob

[random zinc]

not ambassador entrance?

[fair pilot]

thunderbird imo even bettter, it's just an elevator

thunderbird

what is more accessible than elevator?

[random zinc]

short-range teleporter

[floral berry]

I think ambassador has a slightly steeper angle

[random zinc]

makes sense then

[short herald]

It's probably been asked, but, does the 'medi-pod' actually do anything? Or just decoration?

[past atlas]

But what if i use it on multiplayer?

[past atlas]

Oh wait there is teleporter?

[random zinc]

yes, but it doesn't work 🙁

[floral berry]

Deco

[random zinc]

it's decorative, and rather expensive for what you get

I mean... amino pods? really?

[short herald]

Oh spoot.

[past atlas]

My bad, i mean elevator

[floral berry]

You can put the med station in the same room and imagine that it does something

[short herald]

A little RP prop, then? lol

[past atlas]

Im afraid if i use mod to surprass the build limit, it wont work at multiplayer

[random zinc]

Can you put an antimatter reactor in a corvette?

[random zinc]

it'll work but it might make some people angry when you crash their game

[past atlas]

😁

[abstract crow]

Just don't go crazy and you'll be fine.

[past atlas]

Well i think i wont build it that big

It just the only thing that bothers me is my cockpit, its quite high from the entrance of my corvette

[random zinc]

how would easing the build limit fix that?

[past atlas]

I mean, the second thing that bothers me

[random zinc]

oh, sorry

[past atlas]

The first thing is the limit, cause my corvette will be long, well not that long

[random zinc]

yeah, stairways to the cockpit suck in my opinion

[past atlas]

Fr

Is there any elevator for corvette? I think it would be better

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

[past atlas]

Or maybe ill just use short range teleport mod for my corvette

[random zinc]

my cockpit is 3 walkway's distance away from the hatch

[random zinc]

if only they worked

[past atlas]

I think mine is 4, atleast for the prototype

[random zinc]

4 is not bad

I could live with 4, but I'm happier with 3

[past atlas]

But still its rlly pain to use the stairways

[random zinc]

the result is that my corvette is w-i-i-i-de

[past atlas]

Can i see your corvette? I wanna see how wide it is

[abstract crow]

Chonky

I think my bridge is double digits away, but half of that is vertical.

[random zinc]

pretty wide, eh?

[past atlas]

For a second i think its not that wide, but after seeing the landing bay, holy that's rlly wide

[abstract crow]

Pfft. Skinny.

Here's chonky

[random zinc]

it's 9 habs wide

I used offset building for those round things on the ends so it's not 10 habs wide

[fair pilot]

4.5x wider then mine lol

[abstract crow]

And still probably one of my skinnier designs considering what I usually build.

This might actually be my skinniest and smallest overall

[terse kestrel]

Now THAT'S edgy.

Atlas better be sure not to cut himself on that ship

[exotic cove]

it looks like a less stealthy b2

very cool

[abstract crow]

Atlas version of an F-117

[exotic cove]

yea thats sick. ive yet to come up with a cool design

[abstract crow]

Stupid cockpit kinda ruins the silhouette

[exotic cove]

i didnt even notice. it looks awesome.

[abstract crow]

More noticible from this angle.

Without a cockpit, or at least a visible one, I could've stayed at a single layer.

[exotic cove]

idk i think it looks unique

[abstract crow]

Appreciate it, but it looked way better before I realized I had to go up one more.

Actually, I wonder how badly those wings would cut into a cockpit. Maybe I could still squeeze inside and sit down.

[sick kayak]

Trying to think up a big ship that I can use as a base of operations for multiple people. Any suggestions?

[abstract crow]

Like, as reference?

Honestly, just build something big and unique. Only you know what you want in a ship.

[distant shard]

I want the expedition pieces for the Corvette 😔

[abstract crow]

They'll bring the expeditions back again in time.

[distant shard]

The one thing I struggle with

[nimble stirrup]

neat corvette

[abstract crow]

The invisible corvette-mobile

[exotic cove]

wrong channel lol

[terse kestrel]

Guys I think my game is trying to tell me something 😭

[abstract crow]

Only six days spent building ships? Rookie numbers.

[west hamlet]

Life don't allow me to spend more, which is a good thing ngl

[mossy oasis]

1900 scissor lifts give or take a few

[fair pilot]

What the...

[low shell]

Just build my first corvette but the stats are ass and I see people on YouTube get better stats with smaller ships how?

[mossy oasis]

I wanted to see if there was a part limit so I just started building scissor lifts

[terse kestrel]

Why 😭

[mossy oasis]

Wanted to see if there was a construction limit

[cedar hinge]

thats beautiful

[balmy cedar]

It's beautiful

Like.

[balmy cedar]

It's like a 40k ship

[cedar hinge]

is that using mods? cus i thought it was 100 max

[balmy cedar]

They're using base building decor

[cedar hinge]

oh

[balmy cedar]

There's no limit on the base decorations on corvettes

[cedar hinge]

ohhhhh

[balmy cedar]

Either that or it's very high

I've shared this a ton but...

It's waaay under 100 parts

[cedar hinge]

how do yall have those parts with LEDs?

[balmy cedar]

The red ones?

Or the reactor parts?

[cedar hinge]

red ones

[balmy cedar]

From the previous expedition

[cedar hinge]

oh

[balmy cedar]

They're atlas parts

will they ever be available for people that use creative to use or no

[balmy cedar]

You've gotta do the previous expedition, so no.

[cedar hinge]

damn

[balmy cedar]

Creative doesn't unlock everything sadly

[marble summit]

Corvette (voyages) and Breach will be remixed this year.

So you will be able to get those parts

https://www.nomanssky.com/2025/11/holiday-expeditions-2025/

[bronze spoke]

How do you off center parts and cockpits?

[hardy oracle]

It didn't look like you got a reply, but the short answer is probably that you just haven't added all the tech modules yet. Corvettes are still meant to be equipped with all the regular modules that regular spaceships use, they stack with the special corvette modules.

[low shell]

So I build a a infra knife on the ship and also make one in the modules and upgrades?

I have no space left in my tec storage 😭

[strong spruce]

question how high can the base stats go for a corvette for my corvette they are
damage - 226.1
shield strength - 433.5
hyperdrive range - 1387.5
manoeuvrability - 1492.9
what's the highest they can go but for my dps it's fine as is right now

I'm just curious

[low shell]

How'd you get that much manoeuvrability

[strong spruce]

So I chose parts that give higher manoeuvrability

and supercharged

[fair pilot]

pain of corvette building

[swift mist]

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

[tranquil yoke]

so how do i get more Atlas vett parts ?

[fair pilot]

If you did the breach expedition - you can craft 'em

[tranquil yoke]

I did, so just build them from the build menu?

[tranquil yoke]

tysm

[fair pilot]

if you have resources obv

[velvet ruin]

the building parts like thrusters, reactors, weapons, habs, etc. provide bonuses to ship stats in the form of tech to a max of 3 per type (3 of each reactor, 3 of each landing gear, etc.) You may have to rearrange the tech in the corvette to get adjacency bonuses, add technology, or add more upgrade parts to the corvette itself

they may have really good tech upgrades, or use building techniques like reversing habs to put more stuff into a smaller area

my one corvette has 3 of every reactor in a very small line across the top because i used backwards habs to fit twice as many things in the same space

oh also ship class improves base stats

[thick birch]

Anyone know if that thing where you could get exocraft onto your Corvette got patched or is there still a way to do it?

[terse kestrel]

Not without mods as far as I know

[strong spruce]

how high do faction standings go up

[thick birch]

Dang. Hoping they'll add it as an actual feature, would be fun to drop in with a mech from low orbit lol

[shadow crown]

#nms-questions, but rank 10

[shadow crown]

Probably too glitchy tbh

[strong spruce]

how many q-resonators can I mod in?

just curious

[strong spruce]

ok nvm

[fiery kindle]

Evening, whats a reasonable amount of parts if i go over the 100 part limit with a mod? I dont want to go super crazy but the build i'm working on needs a bit more
Just dont want to lag people out

[exotic cove]

you can get some insane numbers. its mostly x and s class upgrade modules. plus you have to arrange them all properly too. i found this website that helps with arranging the modules. id read the whole instructions bit. https://nms-optimizer.app/?platform=corvette

[hazy salmon]

If I launch the bytebit synthesizers installed on the corvette inside the anomaly, will other players be able to hear them?

[opal valley]

Have you tried installing upgrades? And upgrading the class

woops, just noticed some of my tech is rearranged again

so stats are currently less than optimal

There, that's a little better

[fiery kindle]

is there a way to delete a corvette?

[opal valley]

Sort of. What I do is strip the corvette down to its basic parts, so you're only left with the required parts, then trade it to an NPC for their ship. Then scrap the NPC's ship.

[fiery kindle]

oh good idea

Thanks!

[opal valley]

Can't trade a corvette to another person that way though, as soon as the swap happens, the corvette and the NPC disappears, since NPCs dont drive corvettes

[shadow wraith]

Snapped out of existence

[past atlas]

do i have to install all of the reactors with 3 of them each?

or i just install one

[shadow wraith]

You can install three of them, yes

[past atlas]

only 1 or all of them installed?

[shadow wraith]

Can be three Medusa class, or one of each

[mossy oasis]

There is a limit and I hit it 🤣

[shadow wraith]

Limit is the first three being working parts, whereas the rest are cosmetics

[past atlas]

okay

[shadow wraith]

For the Medusa, you can use three of them simultaneously by putting three of them before you put a cockpit

Since cockpits are considered maneuverability "reactor"

[past atlas]

so if i make 3 medusa, if i add the other, the other will become cosmetic right?

[past atlas]

alright

[shadow wraith]

Yea

[past atlas]

how about the shield?

[shadow wraith]

Same, first three are only counted

[past atlas]

alright thanks a lot

[shadow wraith]

For the weapons, you can put three of each type

I.E you can put three photon turrets, three IK turrets, and they would all work

[past atlas]

and for this one and the other, its also decoration right? since its on decoration section

[limpid quiver]

that's just decoration

ye

anything that does not have any stats after the cap is hit is just decoration

[past atlas]

im glad that just a decoration

[glass surge]

Medusa Reactors have a bug where if you place three only two show up in the tech slots but they work with the cockpit and i'm unsure if the cockpit replaces one of the three as a reactor.

If you want three medusa reactors in the tech slots for a 20 point maneuverability gain do this in corvette editing mode: Delete the cockpit, put three Medusa reactors where you want them in your corvette and then add the cockpit.

Your Corvette tech slots should show three Medusa reactors and no Cockpit

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

[past atlas]

what if i put 2 medusa, 1 other reactor, and a cockpit. will it show 3 reactor and 1 cockpit?

[glass surge]

yes and that's totally fine to do

[past atlas]

i see, alright, i think thats better than 3 medusa but no cockpit

[shadow wraith]

Yeah it's more for minmaxxing maneuver stats

The only reactor I typically use is the one that adds landing gear recharge

[fair pilot]

Reactors, unlike engines or shields, are standalone entities. You can install up to 3 of each, 12 total. But each next gives less stats.

[hardy oracle]

Here's an example of how your tech inventory might look on a fully upgraded corvette. There are many reasonable ways to configure it. I've circled all the modules that contributed to manoeuvrability in the image.

[past atlas]

almost done but 8 more parts to hit the build limit 🙂 goodbye my dream ship

[dry moat]

bro im stuck on this stupid thing i cant get out even try quit save

[limpid quiver]

tried reload restore point?

[dry moat]

still herer on this cockpit

is there no unstuck or kil self?

i cant even die wtf wrong with this shit

im cooked

can anyone help? even reload game im still stuck inside the ship on space station

[fickle lagoon]

try to build a chair nearby and sit on it

[limpid quiver]

i thought the corvette cockpit bug was patched a while ago

[dry moat]

holy shit bro ur smart thanks, imma have to change my cockpit

[remote crypt]

Can you list what you did so I never do it?

[dry moat]

i go to cockpit notice i cant enter that area then i press E to launch ship when i go back i cant get out of the cockpit room

[remote crypt]

Ok, glad you got unstuck

[dry moat]

but i think the bug apply on any other cockpit i literally stuck again and have to put on chair to get out

[remote crypt]

Maybe we should all just be building chairs in our cockpits for future proofing

[blazing bane]

Honestly just get the space station teleporter from the quicksilver synthesis

[fickle lagoon]

sorry, what is that?

[blazing bane]

The orbital uplink

This thing

[limpid quiver]

since when they added that to QS vendor

[blazing bane]

Idk

[limpid quiver]

wasn't that only for the corvette expedition

[blazing bane]

I have like 10 of them 2 on me at all times

[fickle lagoon]

sadly i guess it was exclusive to corvette expedition

[blazing bane]

Was it i remember there being an amount to how much you csn buy?

[fickle lagoon]

dont have it in QS store

[remote crypt]

same

[limpid quiver]

same

[blazing bane]

Ahh yes you have to do the expi and then you can buy them

Sorry

[limpid quiver]

and all you get when you search it in wiki is corvette expedition

[limpid quiver]

what category is it in

[fickle lagoon]

found info on mirahaze
https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Orbital_Uplink

[blazing bane]

Originally, the blueprint was only available during a specific expedition, but it can now be kept by completing that expedition in a new save file.

[fickle lagoon]

such i great QoL and somewhy wasnt added to the main game, rip

[blazing bane]

Idk but I have a bunch of them

Im my main save file

[limpid quiver]

why does fandom lack some pages

[dry moat]

is there any landing pad for corverte ship?

[limpid quiver]

:D

[limpid quiver]

no

you either hover over planet

[abstract crow]

Not without mods

[blazing bane]

Mods

[limpid quiver]

or mods

ye

[fickle lagoon]

idk, that two wiki exists separately :)

[dry moat]

damn so either i gotta make smaller or mods

[blazing bane]

Well ya

But atleast you dont need to use launch fuel

[limpid quiver]

don't tell me i need to do the expedition on my main save to get it on that save

[blazing bane]

Idk but I did that and I got it

They wil be doing a re rune soon though

Run

[limpid quiver]

ye

but rip

according to miraheze

[remote crypt]

Yo why does only one of the rockhopper things I have on the ship animate

😡

[blazing bane]

Huh thats sad

[blazing bane]

Weird

Is it persistant

[remote crypt]

It is, just restarted and reloaded same deal

I'll try ripping it off and reinstalling later when I can play more

[limpid quiver]

is it only visual
or do you lose some stats as well

[remote crypt]

Visual

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

[steep thunder]

Guys, whenever I TP to my portal base, my corvette hovers a good few Us from the ground due to terrain slope and a teleport spawns for me to get back onboard. Is this standard mechanics if the terrain you land on is such that it 'bounces' the corvette so far up that the landing bay is out of reach?

[remote crypt]

Yes

[steep thunder]

Neat

[remote crypt]

For sure, very useful and practical

We don't get that much with NMS

[glass surge]

I've confirmed this this with another user but i think it's an animation limit I have a corvette with 4 Rockhoppers and2 mag landing units and it doesn't animate / illuminate everything

[remote crypt]

I have 2

And one mag landing

[glass surge]

then it shouyld animate properly i feel

[remote crypt]

Ya, and it had been - not sure how long it hasn't

No changes made to the vette between either

The starboard rockhopper no longer does that

[glass surge]

sad

[remote crypt]

I'm hopeful it's just a weird temp bug

Maybe deleting and replacing will wake it back up, can't check now tho

[steep thunder]

The only exception to this I've noticed is when you do an aquatic landing, since the teleporter can't spawn on water surface, you still need to jet-blast back up

[steep thunder]

Very nice pic, btw, relaxed fishing scene, cool looking vette as well.

[remote crypt]

Yeah, I hadn't really paid attention to that as mine is low enough I just do that automatically - could use a tweak for that

[steep thunder]

Do I see this right - you have a single landing gear, 4 engines (are two of them thrusters?) and 2xRockhoppers?

[remote crypt]

3 engines, all zenith - just the one landing gear, multiple thrusters - like 5 (I know they are cosmetic after a certain point) and the 2 rockhoppers

Some of the thrusters are hidden inside the wing modules

[past atlas]

Can we move our corvette from save a to save b?

[steep thunder]

I see, I'm only just starting to explore the possible placements of modules. At 1st I also had 2xRH props, but to me it looked odd since I placed them the at the front, so I replaced them with RH fins. Might try like you have it, at the back.

[past atlas]

Like from my creative save to my main save

[remote crypt]

With an editor

[remote crypt]

Give it a go, I love just messing about in the builder, deleted far more than I've kept lol

[past atlas]

I dont know what it is and how it work

Is that a software?

[remote crypt]

The only way you can move a corvette to another save of yours would be via an application called a save editor, which does what it sounds like. You can edit your save to bring over that ship (or any other)

[steep thunder]

Will do that definitely, but my current task is moving my Home base. Updates to NMS have turned my beloved planet into a worm-ridden nightmare, ground shaking every minute or so, cant' stand it anymore.

[remote crypt]

Felt, our earth colors paradise changed to red water and yellow skies

[past atlas]

Alright ill look for it, thanks a lot

[steep thunder]

Luckly, yesterday while doing the 'Discover 8 planets' part of the expedition, I've found a neat replacement planet, min sentinels, weather is nice and the sky is actually blue, w/a nice ringed planet in the background. I'll stop with the off-topic, back to base construction. 👋

Unfinished expedition > import ship will not work?

Finished, but not closed with "end expedition" button I mean.

[remote crypt]

That's a great thought - didn't cross my mind

But this is from a creative to normal save

[tame patio]

I got bored and chose to just build a phase beam void ray style ship and it's funny but isn't perfect.

[hoary agate]

Im trying to rebuild my corvette after game wiped my build. Anyone jnows what part that is?

I dont have better pic

[abstract crow]

If it's curved down, it might be a hard frame cowling

[hoary agate]

It alsp could be upper part of supercruise cowling

Idk i give up.

[abstract crow]

Looks like a slight raised section so it might indeed be the supercruise

[hoary agate]

I cat recreate the steps i made while building so the parts dont want to snap the way i want.

Its no use

Rip

This game Sometimes AAAAARGGGH

Makes me want to puch sean in the face

[abstract crow]

Hey. We don't hate Sean anymore. Otherwise he'll release more free updates.

[fair pilot]

That's a supercruise cowling

[hoary agate]

Figured

Cant place it there anyways

[fair pilot]

🖖

[hoary agate]

If every update will be broken like voyagers then i dont want free updates.

[fair pilot]

deal, now you have to pay for broken updates.

[hoary agate]

When u pay u can demand quality

I its broken i can demand refund

[fair pilot]

No-no, that's not an option. Now you just have to pay. 😄

[hoary agate]

Consumer laws say otherwise

[fair pilot]

You have to formulate your wishes better next time, then.

[hoary agate]

I didint wish for corvettes. I wished for working update

[fair pilot]

Friend, that was just a dumb jinn joke

[hoary agate]

Ik but im not in the mood for jokes

Mp feature that get broken when mp on is a not funny joke

[terse kestrel]

In terms of broken updates this still isn't the worse. For as grand and awesome as Origins was it broke ALOT.

Hell the suns in most systems you went to were black squares for months.

And anytime an update doesn't wipe bases or destroy your planets natural environment is a good one imo 😂

[terse kestrel]

Also that piece up top looks like a domed casing to me

[hoary agate]

Imo that does not give any excuse. Devs should do better with time . Know the game code better and make more polished updates.

[terse kestrel]

It's not an excuse. It's me pointing out that it's been many years since I expected them to come out with an update that was clean and polished. I dont expect that of them. They're not capable of it. That's not what they do.

They hamstring and force updates into this game as best they can. And then stitch it together and slap Band-Aids on it after the fact.

I have no doubt Light No Fire will be the exact same way

[hoary agate]

Then they will repeat the launch disaster

[terse kestrel]

No chance. Because that disaster was the byproduct of crashing a massive hype train they built.

There's no hype for LNF like it was with nms. No big bubble to burst. No massive disappointments to make.

If LNF drops with even half the features of NMS it will be well received.

[hoary agate]

No hype. Lol lnf is most viewd hg vid. Lnf is nominated for most wanted game beside gta6 . If they cant learn from mistakes they will repeat them

Anyways. Its gone far too much into offtopic

Im done with corvette building untill they fix the problem

[past atlas]

I forgot to ask, is there any downside for using save editor?

[random zinc]

I think I'm obsessed with windows. I switched two swept casings to windows on a whim and I think I like it. I have 12 windows now...

(I also prefer the underwater round prefab room to the regular one because it's all windows)

[random zinc]

that feels like a dump and run to me, looks nice though

[fair pilot]

We need more 'vette windows.

[oak belfry]

I'm looking for some ideas on faking weapons with available decor parts. The big gun was tricky to set up but ultimately works. Smaller ones are more problematic for me.

(the castle is WIP, I cannot find a satisfying way to finish the battlements off)

Here are the two ideas to use lamps mostly for smaller guns.

[fair pilot]

Looks like lego guns. Awesome.

[oak belfry]

Lego was indeed one of the inspirations, mainly because of the elongated arched finisher pieces reminding me of that one lego piece. I had the insects set as a kid and it made fantastic crab claws.

There's also some Endless Space 2 (Academy/Vodyani starships) design in it and Anno 2070 (mostly submarines) flavour.

[warm breach]

what do yall think about this design

[oak belfry]

My whole corvette barely fits into a screenshot though 😂
It is essentially a mini freighter.

[warm breach]

i love those colors

[oak belfry]

That was pretty much forced by some of the elements I used to fake guns having fixed colour. I made the whole ship match those.

From the back it looks like a bad boy's motorboat to be honest. I'm glad there is something among the parts to fake the hyperdrive.

The main challenge for a big build is with the part limit it is not possible to make it look good and have all the space and features I want. I had to fake quite a lot of the looks with the decor.

But there really aren't many decor elements which look like ship hull.

[fair pilot]

massive

[terse kestrel]

My current project is building a Corvette that I can then cover in ancient ruin slabs, walls and other pieces. Basically get it an ancient ruin facade.

[fair pilot]

Mine is kinda boat (or jet?) too, but I can't place shit here because ship is too long and it is slightly out of some barrier xD

[oak belfry]

My next project will the a complete opposite: a tiny corvette, made for the ease of manoeuvering.

[fair pilot]

This thing is surprisingly good at flying, because of pretty slim profile

[low shell]

Whats the hub called with the fancy inside

[oak belfry]

Ambassador

[fair pilot]

ambassador - 70s sci-fi, thunderbird - star wars aesthetics, titan - rugged military thing

[oak belfry]

I have an issue with the cockpits because the Ambassador one is the most difficult to match with literally anything on the outside but then the interface while flying it is the cleanest. I ended up forcing myself to use it despite Titan one looking much better on the ship.

[fair pilot]

I'm using thunderbird mostly, because easier to fit visually.

Tho I'd love to use amby.

[oak belfry]

The seams it makes when joining the hab module trigger my OCD.

[terse ingot]

id love to have an interior look similar to the interiors from lost in space (2018)

[oak belfry]

You can see I've tried to hide them with the transmitter modules.

Honestly I'm not sure what was the intended aesthetic use of the Amby cockpit. Am I supposed to bury it among other pieces extending forward in front of it in a squid-like fashion? But then the extra windows make no sense.

[oak belfry]

The left one is almost doable with the decor though.

[terse ingot]

style yes
but unfortunately we dont have the ability to make bigger rooms on corvettes yet

which is very unfortunate

[warm breach]

my corvette is too small guys

[fair pilot]

I'm covering them from the sides anyway.

[fair pilot]

My condolences. You can add 6 to 10 deck on the top, I think.

[warm breach]

only 10??

[fair pilot]

I'd not go for more as there are no elevators and as teleporters are not working.

[warm breach]

ill do like 50

[fair pilot]

Vogon shipbuilding school fan, I see.

[blazing hawk]

I know the feeling

[warm breach]

thats the smallest corvette ive ever seen

[blazing hawk]

4 decks ain't enough 😔

[warm breach]

i think i need 50 more phase beam cannons 😔

[blazing hawk]

Idk who that one youtuve channel is that does the corvette showcases but I wanna have mine judged

[warm breach]

"thegamehub" and maverick something

ace and maverick

[blazing hawk]

What i wish is that there were blank wall tiles

[warm breach]

exterior or interior?

[blazing hawk]

Interior

[warm breach]

flat panels are the best imo

but hard to position

[blazing hawk]

Yeah you know how when you connect a prefab on a wall behind a wall it closes it off with its own model. I wish thst was an option to just close the hole.

[warm breach]

yea that would be nice

so i wouldnt have to see my indoor thurt

thruster

[blazing hawk]

I went for a starliner vibe with mine

Problem is its only has 8 beds because of the prefabs

So it feels more like a luxury cargoship. Which I dont mind really

Deck 1 is storage and refiner
Deck 2 is bridge and living walls
Deck 3 is 2 family rooms with 4 beds each and medical bay
Deck 4 is a messhall of sort

[warm breach]

i havent tried making the hab types different rooms yet, ill do it one day

[fair pilot]

I have to charge my hyperdrive once per 2 days despite constant jumping, lol

[fair pilot]

3 hyperdrive reactors + 3 hyperdrive upgrades is hell of an efficiency

[blazing hawk]

How do you increase the rang

I think i fit every single reactor 3 times

And get around 700

[terse kestrel]

If you want to make large rooms in your Corvette there's a way to do it. And you're not using Habs.

You can make a floor out of habs underneath the big room or Cowlings turned upside down. Gives you a flat base that you can cover it in carpets and posters to simulate other carpets.

The ceiling is Habs or exterior Corvette pieces creating a roof effect.

The walls are flat panels that you can get from the freighter. Manually placed to close off the sides of your big room like walls.

At this point you have a large open area hollowed out inside your Corvette that you can decorate as you wish. And it could be as big as you want it

[blazing hawk]

I appreciate the tip thank you!

Does upgrading the class of a corvette increase its warp range?

[fair pilot]

Only zenith reactor affects jump range

But you also adding normal S/X-class hyperdrive upgrades

[blazing hawk]

Bought by those merchants right?

[fair pilot]

So on my ship reactors providing 196+177+169 ly, and S-class mods 232+241+221. throwing 'em into hypercharged slots will give you more.

[blazing hawk]

Oh yeah speaking of which. Tech slots. Do starship upgrades work on corvette that i buy?

[fair pilot]

Corvette is a normal starship with extra-mods presented by the stuff you're physically slotting on corvette (reactors, hubs, engines, landing hear, shields, weapons)

So it is better configurable, but more specialized kinda

And you have to sacrifice something for minmaxing.

Minmaxed corvette barely has any tech slots left xD

[blazing hawk]

I've hears the lance or whatever that beamed weapon is is king on corvettes

But my sailship does way more dpa

Im sorta more wanting to use my corvette as a transporter

Im also dwelling on the idea of trying to design star liner corvettes

But Im gonna try to make it more like a passenger aircraft sort of interior with a bunch of seating

[abstract crow]

Doing open interiors on corvettes is fun. But I wish I had windows.

[blazing hawk]

I think i might be trying to do 2 wide corvette design

3 feels to fat. 1 feels too narrow

Or maybe not.

[abstract crow]

Chonky is beautiful

[austere oyster]

hello chat

should i make the thousand sunny or an hourglass for my next corvette

[random zinc]

yes

[fair pilot]

Big Beautiful Corvette joke.

[austere oyster]

[abstract crow]

Real corvettes have curves.

[fair pilot]

Oh yeah curves.

[random zinc]

but these are not real, so I'm ok

[abstract crow]

They're realer than the nonexistent corvette I don't own.

[fiery kindle]

Whats the button to take a picture in corvette build mode?

[abstract crow]

I don't think you can unless you screenshot your game.

[hollow totem]

W corvette?

[fiery kindle]

i figured it, i play on steam, so if F12 for photo mode for me when building a corvette

nice vette

[elder iron]

So... does anyone else kinda wish we could put the corvette wall modules on the front and back of the habs as well?

[hollow totem]

i wish we could remove the ugly ass dividers

i want a living room

not a hallway

[elder iron]

That's definitely fair

[fiery kindle]

i was just about to ask, ive seen other vettes with larger rooms

[elder iron]

I can understand the current design decision, but larger living spaces would be nice without having to fake it via large box

[elder iron]

Specify

[fiery kindle]

there is a way to do it, with some not hab pieces

one sec, someone just posted about it, just havent figured out how

[hollow totem]

god im jealous seeing all these cool corvettes compared to my thing

[elder iron]

Ive seen corvettes with rooms that look bigger, but theres a couple of specific tricks to it

[fiery kindle]

If you want to make large rooms in your Corvette there's a way to do it. And you're not using Habs.

You can make a floor out of habs underneath the big room or Cowlings turned upside down. Gives you a flat base that you can cover it in carpets and posters to simulate other carpets.

The ceiling is Habs or exterior Corvette pieces creating a roof effect.

The walls are flat panels that you can get from the freighter. Manually placed to close off the sides of your big room like walls.
At this point you have a large open area hollowed out inside your Corvette that you can decorate as you wish. And it could be as big as you want it

Zarkan Frood just posted that

[elder iron]

Ok yeah, thats the large box version I was talking about

[hollow totem]

IS THAT A PLANE

[fiery kindle]

oh cool, someone else had a similiar idea i did

i just did my first build, also a plane

[elder iron]

Some corvette rooms can look bigger due to perspective, such as the player having a gek appearance, or adding seamless windows to ambassador habs

[fiery kindle]

but i did a bomber

[hollow totem]

mine feels way too blocky

[fiery kindle]

im thinking im gonna modify the top to a large room

[hollow totem]

im jealous of all the people with the cool corvettes

[elder iron]

Ship is gonna be blocky, generally

[fiery kindle]

under the generators

[true kettle]

get inspired instead

[elder iron]

The cool corvettes often sacrifice some things i cannot bear to give up

[fiery kindle]

but then i have to move the engines around and it might not look as clean

[hollow totem]

they need to add power cables to corvettes

i want to make a disco floor

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

[fiery kindle]

i think you can mod in base building stuff, not sure though

[hollow totem]

i have my ugly ass corvette then someone else just has this

[elder iron]

Most corvettes sacrifice either visibility from a perspective (I switch between them for every ship I have so both must be viewable for me) or interior accessibility

[fiery kindle]

mine isnt so bad, the first few builds were a bit nonlinear but i had to rebuild it, so now its quite a bit easier to navigate

[elder iron]

Oh I dont mean nonlinear

That can be good if done right

I mean like the interior is barely usable at all

[hollow totem]

i would make it better

but the engines are so fucking massive

i cant add anything

[elder iron]

Often due to parts clipping

[fiery kindle]

no that was my bad, i meant my interior was nonliner, like, 4 ladders and some turns to get from cockpit to landing

[hollow totem]

that god damn ceto class reactor

[fiery kindle]

i might have a trick for you for that

[elder iron]

Genuinely, I only add them for looks, lol

[hollow totem]

i cant consistently clip them

[fiery kindle]

the heavy scaffolding

[elder iron]

They dont have adjacency with the rest of the shielding modules, so they arent a priority for me

[abstract crow]

My only priority is making something cool.

[hollow totem]

what does that do?

[elder iron]

I need it to be fun to fly as well, lol

[fiery kindle]

you wont need to clip them i think

one sec, getting screenshots

[abstract crow]

Anything can be fun to fly. Even my big, fat, terrible handling cruisers are fun

[elder iron]

Been using recent expeditions to harvest photonix cores from starborn runners to use for my corvettes, lol

[fiery kindle]

so, you stack the scaffolding like this

place the engine

remove the scaffolding

then relink it with scaffolding, like this

this way its still connected, and not clipping into the vette

thats how i got the hanging engine effect on my bomber

[elder iron]

I also advise mixing and matching the engines you use

[fiery kindle]

yeah, i know it makes it better overall, but im an aesthetics guy

[blazing hawk]

Do engines have any sort of effect?

[elder iron]

Most of my corvettes have 2 side boosters and one rear thruster

[blazing hawk]

If swapped around

[elder iron]

Yes, but it can depend. Only the first 3 placed engines act as tech

[hollow totem]

wdym i got like 5 engines

[elder iron]

Yes, only the first 3 provide the tech bonus

[blazing hawk]

Oh interesting. The game has so much debth man lol

[elder iron]

Adding extra is mostly aesthetic

[hollow totem]

i can count 8 engines

[blazing hawk]

I gotta make my corvette have 1000 range and ill be happy

[elder iron]

Im talking about the corvette modules

[blazing hawk]

Or how high can they get?

[elder iron]

You only have 3 aeron drives in the tech inventory

[elder iron]

About 3k

[fiery kindle]

heads up, medusa only gives 2 no matter what

[hollow totem]

idk i got .6k

[hollow totem]

place the engines first

[blazing hawk]

Holy...

[hollow totem]

then the cockpit

[elder iron]

Medusa gives 3 if you place them before the cockpit

[blazing hawk]

Yeah I need to figure that out

[fiery kindle]

oh? good to know

[elder iron]

But sometimes the cockpit can be better anyway

Corvettes are tricky like that

[hollow totem]

reinforced hull link my precious

[fiery kindle]

ill remember that for 2.0

[elder iron]

Each part placed will change the stats a bit, aside from the bonuses they provide

[blazing hawk]

I sorta want my corvette to be like a slow in hyper space. But had a really long range to compensate

[elder iron]

So low pulse, high jump range?

[blazing hawk]

That wouls be cool

[hollow totem]

found something weird with the aeron blade

i could clip in through a reinforced hull link on the left side only

[elder iron]

You'll want zenith reactors and hyperdrive upgrade modules

[fiery kindle]

can you duplicate a corvette?

[hollow totem]

and i could clip it through a hab or the right side only

[elder iron]

Ive done so only through a specific way

[fiery kindle]

want to keep the one i have as is, but make a copy so i can mess with the habs

[elder iron]

Claiming the corvette multiple times from an expedition

[blazing hawk]

Yeah I think i put 3 of everything reactor wise

Like this is the corvette. Something this beefy would have the range. But not ths speed

[fiery kindle]

oh thats smart, didnt think of that

i like the look of that one

[elder iron]

The medusa reactors add maneuverability, so if you want to reduce the corvette speed, you can remove them

[blazing hawk]

What are good ways to get hyperdrive range modules

I have the nanites

[elder iron]

Easiest way is jump between systems and stop at space stations to buy 3 s class hyperdrive modules

After that, make sure all your hyperdrive tech is in a rough square/blob so as many are touching, ideally with your best ones being supercharged

From there, itll be gambling time at pirate stations for x class hyperdrive modules with better stats than s class

[fiery kindle]

is there an easy fix like the medusa thing to swap a small hab for a large hab?

i have like, 2 small habs but its using one of them instead of the like 12 large ones i have

[shadow wraith]

Just delete those

[hollow totem]

minor redesign

i think the aeron blades make it look a lot better

[elder iron]

You have to remove all the walkways and have at least 3 habs still on the ship

[fiery kindle]

got ya, then save, and readd them?

[kind glacier]

how do people keep making these kind of ray shielded opening on their corvette?

[hollow totem]

prob a mod

[fiery kindle]

yup, worked like a charm, thanks!

[hollow totem]

CAN YOU NOT

[kind glacier]

well.. what mod then? or rather. what item they are using? 'cuz i keep seeing it again and again in big corvette builds

xD

[abstract crow]

Possibly a resized door or something combined with an open interior.

[fair pilot]

Exocraft racing start/finish building iirc.

[abstract crow]

Yeah. Garage door

You can see the cover up top. Garage door.

That must be a massive corvette

[hollow totem]

why cant i build teleport cables to connect short range teleporters

[fair pilot]

It will simply appear back,

[hollow totem]

the sun will explode

[fiery kindle]

thats annoying, on both counts

[fair pilot]

If you'll save-edit some tech to fill the slots to 100%, it will dismount some of tech and slot the photon cannon.

i was just about to ask that, lmao thanks for reading my mind

[fair pilot]

I had the same question already xD

[fiery kindle]

aaaand modifiying SC slots?

i recall reading somewhere there is like a weird dance to reroll the slots, but i just dont feel like doing it

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/n4M4z72J94

[fair pilot]

Ah, the 1:1 venator

tbh I understand what people doing this, but not like it

[errant depot]

Decided to try building a vette with 3 of everything for max tech, but it’s giving me the “limit reached” notif with only 2 medusa reactors?

[elder iron]

Oh, yeah 1000% modded

[fair pilot]

corvette has to be playable and not for the owner only, but for everyone.

These giant builds would suit the buildable frigate or freighter, but not corvette.

[errant depot]

Having a buildable frigate that can store like 1 ship and fly around in space would be sick though

[fair pilot]

1 ship small ship hangar? Yes. 1:1 venator? No.

[short fractal]

Is there a way to add a bio-dome to a corvette? cant seem to make it place with my corvette right on top of the base.

Im just trying to find a way to make a big sphere for a tie fighter

[abstract crow]

Considering no one else really comes out to my area of galaxy 250 and I'm mostly alone overall, my corvettes can be as large as I can stand.

[fair pilot]

Mods only.

[errant depot]

Anyone got an answer or no?

[elder iron]

The cockpit counts as the same type of tech as Medusa reactor

[errant depot]

Oooooh

[terse kestrel]

Take off your cockpit, place a third Medusa and then put your cockpit down

[short fractal]

@fair pilotCan you suggest a mod?

[terse kestrel]

It should push the cockpit out in favor of the medusa. But even if it doesn't it's not that broad of a gap in stats to make a huge difference

The cockpit does adjacency boost with the Medusa reactors anyways

So you are losing very very little by having it in there

[elder iron]

I think it makes the most difference for boost, especially when supercharged

[short fractal]

@fair pilotor do you mean use save editor to turn a base into a corvette then add the corvette parts?

[fair pilot]

Sorry, I'm not that good in mod field. Try to ask in #nms-modding
Tho there are blender base build plugin and some standalone base builder app for that.

[terse kestrel]

The Medusa reactor adds 5% maneuverability and the cockpit gives 3%

On a supercharged slot it's 34% Medusa and 28% cockpit

That 6% maneuverability is nothing to freak out about. And if they are adjacent to each other losing less than 3%.

[elder iron]

I said boost

Turns out, higher maneuverability doesnt always translate to more speed

[abstract crow]

I hate numbers and math.

[terse kestrel]

8% boost difference between Medusa and cockpit. And it looks like a 10% difference once they are both put in SC.

But just because it's 10% less doesn't mean it automatically translates to 10% less boost or speed overall. Just what bonuses are affecting the base numbers.

This is why I hate min/maxing anymore.

Now if it was pure numbers and stat based instead of percentile based bonuses it would make a bigger difference. But percentiles in these games are meant to give you the illusion of greater power when you're really not achieving that much.

[elder iron]

Ehh, they can give more than expected, but I'm not truly minmaxxing anything but speed/maneuverability with these because thats just the stat I like the most

And I'm probably doing it rather poorly, lol

I do wish more stats were visible, though. Even when not minmaxxing it would be nice to see what youre doing more clearly

[terse kestrel]

And this is the biggest factor. Because for so many things we upgrade the more we upgrade it the more it's bomus efficiency and potency goes down. We can see that when we add more boosters or reactors to the corvette. Each one offers a smaller percent than the other.

Or how 1000 maneuverability to 2000 is a very noticeable improvement. Meanwhile 2000 to 3000 is not that big of a difference in comparison. 3000 to 4000 even less so.

[elder iron]

True, and even those numbers can be rather similar while the actual speed is wildly different

I dont think ive made a single corvette that actually breaks 2.5k maneuverability, but my best one can boost to almost 600 u/s at sea level

My solar ship has 1.8k maneuverability and goes just over 300 u/s if im even remembering right

[nimble stirrup]

Let's not post things like that here @grim fox

[abstract crow]

Damn. Missed it.

[short fractal]

TIE Fighter is coming along

i hope theres some way to change the texture or color of bio domes

[tranquil hedge]

dont think so...the glass cant be coloured I think which is shame

[short fractal]

hmm so i need a colorable black sphere that i can size up

[elder iron]

Hmm

Hmmmmm

[glass surge]

there is a round Cargo pod in the corvette parts doubt you can size it up

[elder iron]

I got nothing

Theres a sphere base part but it doesnt scale

[glass surge]

it would be funny if you could scale it

[elder iron]

It would, but it also has snap points and those work weird with scaling

[blazing hawk]

Alrighty guys, I need your help trying to find a designation for this corvette. Heres the breakdown, throw me ideas of what you would classify this as, (nerd shit)

Deck 1 is storage and refiner
Deck 2 is bridge and living walls
Deck 3 is 2 family rooms with 4 beds each and medical bay
Deck 4 is a messhall of sort

exterior of corvette

[abstract crow]

I wish my corvette's open space wasn't only one space high for the most part.

Can't really do ceiling lighting because I'd smack my head.

[elder iron]

Sci-fi equivalent of mobile home

[random zinc]

Whoever gave the idea to hide the health station under the medi-pod is a genius! Thank you!

[blazing hawk]

I was sorta getting the same vibe. That this is More of a Lived In ship rather than a star liner i was hoping for. feels more like home

[random zinc]

call it "My Home"

the HMS My Home

[elder iron]

If there was a more specific purpose the ship would serve, it could have a more specific classification, but genuinely its basically a civilian homeship

[glass surge]

I took off all my warp drives on my corvette except my indium one thinking okay it'll block me off from these system so i can find blue systems easier on the galaxy map but I can still warp to red and green systems 😂

[abstract crow]

"Eagle 6"

[random zinc]

or were you looking for something like Homey McHomeface

[elder iron]

Yup, thats how they work

[glass surge]

so it's a one time lock and then you can remove them?

[elder iron]

You can remove them

Just that the highest tier drive lets you travel to the lower tier systems

[blazing hawk]

You know what it sorta reminds me of, More like a Yaght.

still family orentated but its got more than a normal family would need techically

[glass surge]

ahh okay that makes a bit more sense

[random zinc]

call it the Yaght, the misspelling makes it a perfect name

[blazing hawk]

yeah i dont spell well

[elder iron]

Houseship, lol

[glass surge]

Yaght the Wise

Will Yaght be in Spaceballs II tune in to find out!

[random zinc]

Any idea what I can put on the sides of the cockput, besides the health station and hazard protection unit? These always look too bare for me.

[random zinc]

It benefitted you this time because that's a pretty good name

[glass surge]

Plants? Wonder Projector with home system?

[random zinc]

hmm... plants. maybe

I have plants in a different hab, but not a bad idea

[opal valley]

Reactors like weapons provide different stats, so you could have 3 phase beams and 3 intraknifes with all 6 parts providing stats, the same way you could have 3 reactors giving hyperdrive stats, in addition to 3 reactors that give launch thrusters stats (though not sure why you would need to, I never land) But since all the different style of thruster gives the same type of stat, even though some are better than others, once you have 3 installed, all future thrusters will be decorative, so you may want to add the highest stat thrusters first.

same for shields, some shield parts have higher stats than others

[random zinc]

Can you put one of those byte beat things in a corvette? I haven't unlocked them so I can't check without spending valuable nanites 🙂

[blazing hawk]

Thoughts?

[elder iron]

You definitely can, and bytebeat isnt unlocked via nanites

[elder iron]

Good name

[random zinc]

you're right... salvage, and I happen to be out of salvage

[elder iron]

I should really come up with better ones for my stuff, lol

[pseudo forge]

Its because cockpit acts as medusa reactor.

[random zinc]

@blazing hawk it's a good name, but I think Yaght has more character tbh

I'm a one-trick pony. All my ships are named Gryphon something-or-other

[elder iron]

Brb gonna look at the TV tropes page for standard sci-fi fleet to see if theres actually a common designation for starships that also act as permanent habitation

I guess yacht or courier are closest, because colony ship implies that it will eventually settle somewhere

[random zinc]

If you have a freighter, what did you call it?

[fervent mist]

generation ship?

[elder iron]

Those are freighters, lol

[random zinc]

"those" ?

[elder iron]

Maybe, but that still implies that its not meant as a permanent habitation

[elder iron]

Ohhh, I got confused. Mine still has the default name until I think of something

[fervent mist]

Wdu mean it’s me to house generations

[elder iron]

For the purpose of delivering to a location for colonizing

[fervent mist]

Ok uh space station then

[elder iron]

The type of ship in question is one that is still a starship, but is built to act as a mobile home

[random zinc]

I forgot what I named my first freighter, but my second and current freighter is the Gryphon Gonfalon, because it bears my standard

i was going to call it Gonfalonier, but decided that it is the gonfalon itself and not the gonfalon-bearer

[fervent mist]

Fucking nomadic space ark then

[random zinc]

that's not a bad idea... How about just the "Nomad"

that sounds like a great name!

[fervent mist]

I vibe with it

[random zinc]

Heck you can even put your name in front of it, the "Darastrix Nomad" maybe sounds even better

[oak belfry]

I renamed my nomad ark build after furnishing the captain's rooms: Ark of the Convenient.

[random zinc]

That's a great name! Wow you people are great!

I mean this in all seriousness

[open halo]

which is the best way to get a great amount of corvette pieces guys? I want to build my first one

[random zinc]

Salvageable Scrap

especially if you already have a corvette

so my advice would be to buy the bare minimum parts to build a simple corvette. put a cyclotron ballista in it, and find a planet with salveable scrap

scan for it from inside the corvette, and shoot it with the ballista

rinse and repeat

[terse kestrel]

Find a small moon with salvage scrap. Preferably one with a higher resource metric. This is because the system will generate a lot of loot over an area. But because of the small size of the Moon it jams it closer together than you will find on larger planets.

[elder iron]

Ooh thats a good one actually

[terse kestrel]

This also works well when hunting dissonance resonators, shards and other lootables on dissonant worlds

Small moons are always the best for it

[elder iron]

Haven't designed a proper homeship yet, lol

[glass surge]

is the higher resource metric the economy rating?

[open halo]

tysm!!

[terse kestrel]

No. Each planet has its own resource metric that you can only see once you land. Through your analysis visor infographic on the right. You can't see it from space or scanning it. Or on its Discovery tab

[elder iron]

Yeah I wanna understand resource metric as well

[elder iron]

When the side numbers turn out to be useful

[random zinc]

You only get one freighter at a time, and it's your homeship

[terse kestrel]

Once you start paying attention to the resource metric you'll notice the difference. On a planet with scarce resources the salvage scrap can be 900-1,000u between each other.

But on world with abundant resources you can see many points of salvaged scrap in your analysis visor. Within a short distance of each other.

[abstract crow]

Speaking of freighters, I think mine somehow reset class. It used to be S class and now it's C for some reason.

[terse kestrel]

But again this is affected by the world size. On large planets there is still going to be a larger spread between resource points then on something like a small moon. Where stuff is wedged together more

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

[random zinc]

I'm afraid to share my corvette in #nms-showcase-corvettes because it's not "final" yet

I wish I knew how to film the an interior walkthrough

[elder iron]

Is there a guide somewhere on what various displays in the game mean? I'm recalling seeing a display in the first person cockpit view and not understanding what it meant, and later found out it was me being scanned

[abstract crow]

Need Nitro to do a real video walk-through. And I also have no idea how to capture footage on my PC, so I can't help you either.

[terse kestrel]

Your GPU should have video capture and record options. That's usually the best way to go because you're not using a third party app. Just lifting the image and video right off the GPU

[glass surge]

Steam has a video record mode now

[terse kestrel]

I don't ever remember seeing one. Planet icon list and stuff yeah but not a cockpit icon breakdown

[abstract crow]

I'm on windows, so I can't use steam

[random zinc]

Well that might help if I were using steam 🙂

there's got to be a way. I just haven't set it up yet

[abstract crow]

I don't have nitro either, so it makes no difference.

[glass surge]

The what now? Steam is not banned on Windows

[abstract crow]

That's not what I'm saying. Playing the windows version of NMS. I'm assuming that means I can't record footage if I'm not playing on Steam

[glass surge]

ahhh

yeah probably not but you could setup something like OBS to record on Windows

[abstract crow]

Not worth the effort just to record a 5-10 second clip for Discord, lol. What's the max size of a video without nitro? Less than a gig?

[fair pilot]

I have a serious frustration. On the left it attaches to the invisible texture outside

But on the right it attaches just fine

What the hell is wrong with this damn hitbox?!

[abstract crow]

Sean personally modifying the game to annoy you.

[oak belfry]

If we had any decor to make bookshelves, I'd furnish one into a spacefaring nomad library and call it The Arkive.

[fair pilot]

There ARE shelves at least.

[oak belfry]

It is not the only module which has problems in one of the flips. I fall through the one on the left of my ship but the hitbox of the right one is a rigid rectangle so I just walk above it.

[terse kestrel]

I've done bookshelves before. There are regular shelves that you can wedge objects into to look like books. Then attach posters to "books" at the ends to simulate front and back covers

[fair pilot]

rotation makes me scream too

It should rotate either clockwise or counterclockwise, but not in the random direction it decided to rotate

so you have to run around trying to understand from which point it will rotate as you need to

[elder iron]

I would love something like written books in Minecraft so I could take notes and have in-game ways to organize my information on lore and such

[elder iron]

Its because of how it places radially from the center of the module/part its being placed on

Wait...
Corvette builds are stored as a tree

[fair pilot]

Added few parts to the corvette

Flew away

Parts stayed around the base

😄

[random zinc]

I wish I could associate notes or tags with teleport destinations

like "this is the space station with the super bright corvette workshop"

[fair pilot]

Look at my engine lol

[fair pilot]

damn where, I need one

[random zinc]

Euclid 1OFEO19E7379 - Ikinoham VI

[fair pilot]

Guess why there is a filia of my base 200 units away from the base?..

[terse kestrel]

I build there exclusively. And I always turn multiplayer off when I do because I've handed that out quite a few times and sometimes other people are there building.

But it's got a nice bright white light all around the corvette. Easy to distinguish your parts and colors

[random zinc]

yeah MP off is required

[terse kestrel]

I forgot to turn multiplayer off last week and when I went into the system I started heading towards the space station and my game lagged and crashed.

I don't know what somebody was building in there but my Xbox did not like it one bit 😂

[random zinc]

My problem is that I have 2 stations in my favourites, and they both start with Ik, so I confuse them all-the-time

[terse kestrel]

You may be able to activate a guild quest in that region and then just not complete it. Leaving it hanging. And that icon should pop up on the station on your list and then on

[fair pilot]

If you rename the system - the station renamed too.

[random zinc]

These were both found by other people 🙂

[fair pilot]

So rename the system into something you'll remember, then add station to the favorites.

[terse kestrel]

The best ones always are 😭

[fair pilot]

favorite tp it is then

[random zinc]

That's a weird, out-of-the-box, and wonderful suggestion

[terse kestrel]

I have never done it. It just sounds like it may work

[random zinc]

I was considering dropping a base, but then I have to launch off it and fly to the station or at least teleport again

so I just live with going to the wrong base 50% of the time 🙂

[abstract crow]

God I want to build an orbital base and make it a corvette shipyard.

[opal valley]

another cool thing about corvettes, by adding tech, rearranging it and removing parts, you can expand beyond the max number of tech slots you get from a C class corvette. I haven't tried expanding beyond the max number of slots for an S class yet, I wonder what happens then

[random zinc]

they should have a corvette workshop you can add to your freighter

[abstract crow]

An interior landing area for corvettes would be great. You can't tell me a freighter the size of a pirate dreadnought can't have a larger hanger.

[terse kestrel]

This is a good way to unlock your tech lots for free. But once you hit the maximum it will stop adding slots. Beyond that the only way to add more slots is through a mod or save editor

[abstract crow]

Oo. I wonder if we can build on our freighters to reach where our corvettes "land" .

[random zinc]

no

[opal valley]

I have seen someone leave a door on the back of their freighter and jet over to their corvette

[random zinc]

it lies just outside the buildable area

[abstract crow]

Lame.

[random zinc]

buy yeah, you can certainly jet over to the corvette

or from the corvette into the buildable area

[abstract crow]

Hmm... I wonder if the mod that let's you build a corvette landing spot, coupled with the mod that let's you build any base part at any base/corvette, would allow me to build a custom landing spot I can land at and see when flying around my freighter.

[errant depot]

Figured out something while building a compact version of “all the tech bonuses” and got sidetracked

[glass surge]

Yeah that cramped space is not worth it to me especially if it increases chances of getting stuck

[errant depot]

I like smaller spaces

[abstract crow]

The price we pay to be fabulous

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

[errant depot]

The only real place that I think is concerning is the storage area
If the game loads in with all the doors closed and you’re in that offset part, pretty much no way I can think of to get yourself out

I’ve only gotten stuck twice, once when I used a thunderbird cockpit through a hab wall and got out on the wrong side of the wall, and a second time when I reloaded and found myself trapped in a hab by a titan door. Thankfully there was an autosave that freed me.

[glass surge]

My storage area deleted in my corvette for some reason when i came back from the expedition and the only thing i could think of is that i added red pill lights to the ramp exit

[errant depot]

I really wish there was a way to shrink the storage and have door controls inside the cockpit without putting the door in the cockpit or building storage units on the offset
Or maybe just put door control and possibly teleport in the quick menu

Oh yeah I should probably mention that the way I’ve been building with sideways habs is offsetting the 2 little wedge pieces and putting them together to make a corner and line myself up under a hab, then aiming for like the very bottom of the center of the outside of the wall

[fathom bane]

can i change my corvettes name after building it?

[elder iron]

Yeah, same as any starship

[fathom bane]

I don't see an option in the corvette builder

im an idiot nvm

[fair pilot]

So for general information I'll duplicate here: standing sign works for ladders even better than guard rails

[random zinc]

better how so?

[fair pilot]

Easier to position, somehow better direct you to the ladder. From my personal feelings

Not depends on distance from the center of corvette to build normally.

[random zinc]

feels more claustrophobic

[fair pilot]

No need to fuck with angles

Unrelated - Quin said "I have to build smaller 'vettes", and made his 'vette bigger...

[terse kestrel]

I just tried this out and it works even better at shrinking the hole at the top. Pretty much preventing you from falling through the top unless you intend to go down there

[fair pilot]

I'm innovator!

Engineer!

[terse kestrel]

Yeah I'm totally stealing that idea and telling people I came up with it though.

[fair pilot]

2 options still better than one imo

For claustrophobes xD

[errant depot]

You want claustrophobic?

#nms-corvette-discussion message

[random zinc]

no, the opposite

[errant depot]

Too bad all I have is claustrophobic

[velvet ruin]

That's plagiarism, which I invented, so to do that you owe me a royalty

[fair pilot]

how da fuk you placed them sideways

[livid veldt]

Harder with just corvette parts -- what makes a good computer keyboard for a desk in a corvette?

[elder iron]

Did you manually place the wall modules at the ends of the habs? Cause I dont remember being able to do that normally

[errant depot]

I turned the habs sideways

[hushed gazelle]

i made my corvette able to haul boxes but it still can be improved as its quite buggy to interact with them for some reason

[elder iron]

I know, i mean the ones now on the sides of the corvette as a whole

[errant depot]

Those are on habs too. Each hab space is 2 habs in the same space

[elder iron]

Oh

And it generally works?

[errant depot]

Building with different rotations can be finicky with habs

Sideways hab in a backwards or forwards hab? You can build on any wall
Backwards hab in a forward hab? You can build on no walls (same if you rotate 90 degrees)

The direction of the hab also doesn’t determine the direction of the hole that forms when you place it inside a loading bay, that is determined by the direction of the loading bay (before you rotate it from whatever it is attached to a rotated hab)
You can have a hab that’s open on both sides with 2 loading bays inside it, that’s how I made the storage area (it works with walkways too)

[fair pilot]

btw my latest design achivements

Enlarged wall fans accidentally pretty well fitting the shape of arcadia wings from the inside, making it slightly better (removing the 90 degree angle)

And properly scaled round lamp looks cool on engine D:

Fans also have some backlight, making them even better

And the roof - deflector in front of ladder and guard rails.

[fair pilot]

Corvette modules still messing up on joining other players...

[errant depot]

Here’s my setup for a quick 90 degree rotation, since I don’t see any tutorials using these pieces to line themselves up with the center of a hab

[fair pilot]

@latent zodiac the ship is great, but changes aren't that visible - that's why I asked.

[latent zodiac]

nah its all good, i understand why since they are super subtle :P

[errant depot]

Checking out corvettes at the Anomaly, God I wish this wasn’t modded.

[remote crypt]

How is it modded?

[fair pilot]

straightforward blender build, I afraid.

[errant depot]

Shrunken cockpit, scaled ship parts, there’s a tiny mission radar in the bottom jaw at the front
