nms-corvette-discussion

[errant depot]

Yeah I consider that modding because I’m on console and can’t do any of that with my own two hands in the base game

[fair pilot]

I mean, it's even kinda worse.

[errant depot]

What?

[fair pilot]

than just modding

[plain totem]

I sure hope that the next update fixes all these corvette glitches. After watching numerous YouTube videos on people building corvettes, 99% of them are glitch builds. I wish there were people like me that don’t like utilizing glitches in order to have a decent looking ship. Which I guess is the reason why corvettes don’t appeal to me like the legacy ships do!

[errant depot]

I hope they just make them more stable. Let people play like you but leave the door open for others to play how they want

[elder iron]

Hello games doesnt fix glitches that encourage creativity unless it specifically causes a problem

Plus you can still make nice corvettes without glitching

[glad snow]

@plain totem maybe not glitching is the problem

[elder iron]

Idk what you count as glitches, but from what I recall, these three corvettes I made were made without glitches

[terse kestrel]

Youbtubers show content that gets them views.

Basing anything real world or in a video game on what you see on YouTube is first mistake you're making.

[errant depot]

Why is the last one standing on some Shaquille O’Neal sized landing gear 😭

[terse kestrel]

Anybody who does glitch build or modify their vessels know what they look like. And they also know that the major majority of Corvettes that you see in the anomaly involved no glitch building or modding.

[elder iron]

That is the exact reason I took that screenshot, lol

[terse kestrel]

You're talking about millions and millions of players. With only a few thousand people who watch those videos and know the tricks

[elder iron]

I landed on top of a shelter structure, and thought it clipped into it, got out of thw corvette and that is what I saw instead

[terse kestrel]

The major majority of players don't even know how to do that stuff. They don't look up how to do it. They don't watch the videos

Glitch building is a niche thing in no man's sky. But because of how extravagant you can build when using it those are often the stuff you see the most. Because that's what gets the clicks and the views

[elder iron]

Instantly made the hydraulic legs my permanent favorite

[errant depot]

Landing? A corvette? Never heard of such a thing

[terse kestrel]

Also Hello games uses modified and glitched builds in their promotionals and advertising. So they approve of that stuff. Even if you don't.

[elder iron]

Consider it a flex, lol. I havent had to charge any of my corvette's landing gear no matter how much I land

[errant depot]

Ik lol auto charging is useful

[elder iron]

Azimuth reactors are amazing, I just wish they were easier to integrate in a build

[errant depot]

I like having all three of the 1-hab large reactors so I usually end up smushing them all together

[elder iron]

Cetus reactors look nice, but thats all I use them for

Never had that much need for shielding

[errant depot]

Cetus reactors are the hardest to integrate, especially with my “go as small as the game will let me” style

[elder iron]

Yeah, I'm considering changing my breach corvette into a microvette with as little glitching as possible

[errant depot]

Just using offset you can probably get down to 1~2 hab (walkway) spaces

[terse kestrel]

Smashing together you say?

3 zenith, 3 phase beams, a long shore booster and 2 dynamos (backwards)

[errant depot]

Yes, smashing :)

[terse kestrel]

Love it

Like flying brick 😂

[errant depot]

I kinda like making microvettes

[terse kestrel]

The headlights from backwards dynamos is freaking awesome. Didn't think they would look like that

[errant depot]

I actually haven’t done much with backwards thrusters, most I go is sidways

[errant depot]

Oh I think you’ve shared this before, said it was supposed to feel like a Star Trek bridge right?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah. Immersion lvl 1000 😂

I need proto gek crew on consoles

[errant depot]

Personally I can’t stand the obscured vision, that’s why I default to the titan cockpit

It has just the right shape to be offset into a hab or thunderbird loading bay to be used through the wall safely while not having the wall block anything

It also leaves enough room in the thunderbird for the elevator to let a player (but not a free cam) in or out

[plain totem]

I’d love to see it, when it’s done. I’m looking for inspiration on a small corvette build too.

[fair pilot]

Any way to reliably turn weapons sideways, except placing them on the sides of hubs?

Scaffolds not working

[terse kestrel]

They automatically snap vertical as soon as they don't have an upper or side snap point. Have not found a way to lock them sideways or upside without.

[fair pilot]

Scaffolds should support sideways mounting, at least...

[elder iron]

I may still end up using some form of clipping or offsetting just to squish some of the annoying parts (like reactors) together. Personally, though, the hardest part will be restricting myself to 1 hab/2 walkways or so

[fathom bane]

where can i post my build?

[errant depot]

#nms-showcase-corvettes

[fathom bane]

I figured it out after saying that lmao but ty ❤️

[errant depot]

Rotate some habs a bit and squarsh 4 reactors into the same space or offset em to fit along the top of a regular 2-hab space?

[fair pilot]

LOL fully upgraded photon cannon outperforms my photon beams on a corvette

Mwahahahahaha

[random zinc]

I'm trying to decide if I should keep my expedition corvettes. It'd be a no-brainer if I could archive them, but right now they're taking space in my active ship inventory...

[fair pilot]

numbers says otherwise, but on practice they SLAP

[random zinc]

Yeah, numbers don't express how broken phase beams are on a corvette

[fair pilot]

no-no, photon cannon with same upgrades is at least equal

[random zinc]

multiply your phase beam dps by how many guns you have

[fair pilot]

I know that I can slap 20 and damage will be higher, but why?

[terse kestrel]

I've tried them and phase beams are the only ones that let me kill a dreadnaught in no more than 50 secs after engagement

Every other one takes over a minute after hitting the first trench

[random zinc]

I have the same experience. They are truly buggy and need nerfing

[tall trellis]

This is my Cr-90

[random zinc]

I wonder if I should remove the teleport receiver and replace it with a bobble head

[shadow crown]

Honestly, combat isn't a challenge in this game anyway, and with the pseudo instancing of enemy ships, it doesn't matter if there are standouts

[west hamlet]

There really ain't much for combat at all

[hollow totem]

how do i fix this bug?

[west hamlet]

Pvp is close to no existence

[west hamlet]

Clipping into ship?

[hollow totem]

the stairs not stairing

[west hamlet]

Haven't encounter that ngl

Tried reloading?

[hollow totem]

yes

[west hamlet]

Delete the parts and install them again

[hollow totem]

tried that

[west hamlet]

That's weird

[hollow totem]

stairs are meant to be here but when i put a walkway there it acts as a solid object

[west hamlet]

Could be a glitch

[hollow totem]

NOOOO REALLY

[west hamlet]

Been having a lot of problem with stairs

Sometime the collision is weird etc

Your case is a new one to me so I can't say 100% that it is but

Pretty solid chance

[hollow totem]

weird

i think that compartment is just bugged

it doesnt link

[west hamlet]

Could be that too

Corvette still have a bunch of problem for sure

[random zinc]

I assume you tried putting in the walkway before you put in the stairs

Also, are you using the rotation glitch on your ship?

[hollow totem]

rotation glitch?

anyway one minor redesign later

[west hamlet]

Need a pointy cockpit ngl

[hollow totem]

ambassador cockpit doesnt really fit with anything

[random zinc]

If you don't know, then you're not using it

[west hamlet]

Always have to cover the cockpit in some ways to make the ship look pointy

I don't really like the design of the cockpits

[hollow totem]

i play in first person for ships so i cant do that

[west hamlet]

I mean it still works for me, just have to add a lot to not let the cockpit stand out

[random zinc]

I like the titan cockpit because it makes all the screens visible

[hollow totem]

i hate the ceto class reactor so much

its such an eyesore

[west hamlet]

Not the best view for sure but works

[hollow totem]

how the fuck does one build that

[random zinc]

so don't use it

[hollow totem]

I NEED THE BUFFS

[random zinc]

shields are probably the least important buff as you can just spam sodium

[west hamlet]

Need a mod to remove complexity limit

[hollow totem]

i have one silly

theres no way my blocky monstrosity fits in the limit

[hollow totem]

im lazy

GAME CAN I JUST REMOVE THE PHOTON CANNON SO I CAN PUT A PHOTONIX CORE IN THIS THING

[west hamlet]

Ironically the biggest somehow have the best view

[hollow totem]

tbh my issue with the ambassador cockpit is it pointing down

it means i cant place anything below it

also i would pay to be able to have living ship parts on corvettes

[west hamlet]

It be real cool

[hollow totem]

living ship atlas hybrid

[west hamlet]

Need more ship slot asap tho

Already full with interceptors now I need to somehow make rooms for corvette

Thank god I had 3 saves

[hollow totem]

i have played on the same save for the entire time i have played

[west hamlet]

I have them on different difficulty

[hollow totem]

also we need more frigate slots

[hollow totem]

i did a hardcore run and thats it

excluding expeditions

im not a wuss who plays relaxed

i play normal

like a man

[west hamlet]

Frigate so far i think 30 is kinda enough, until they add more to it i dont think more slot is needed

I have a permadeath just in case

If someone who plays perma need some

[hollow totem]

i finished my achievements on the steam deck on a cruise

it was funny

[random zinc]

Why would you need more than 30 frigates given only 5 expeditions a day?

[hollow totem]

c o l l e c t i n g

[west hamlet]

Now that you mention collecting

We need more design asap

I need more to collect

[hollow totem]

fish?

[west hamlet]

Been collecting them

I prefer the ones with mouth

[hollow totem]

words?

[west hamlet]

Yep

Thinking about getting rid of some pirate frigate for more living ones

[hollow totem]

exocraft overhaul

we need it

now

[west hamlet]

Freighter base always lagging tho, even with my pc it still struggle to keep above 45 fps

[hollow totem]

strange how corvette hitboxes are based around the cockpit

not the parts

[swift mist]

probably an intentional choice in order to improve performance

[hollow totem]

i feel bad for switch users

corvettes are so fun

[random zinc]

corvettes are a literal game changer

being able to do so many things without leaving the safety of the ship is huge

[hollow totem]

i feel like they are objectively better then other ships

the only annoying part is upgrading their class

[random zinc]

performance-wise, I don't know, except for phase beams, but the utility is amazing

[hollow totem]

this is unoptimized

[west hamlet]

Corvette feels more like a luxury rv and the normal ship is just a car

[hollow totem]

only one supercharged

imagine how op it would be with everything in a supercharged

[west hamlet]

Like a L shape supercharge

Those are nice

im 1 off from an L shape

[west hamlet]

Good enough honestly

L shape requires a bit of luck

[random zinc]

Mine looks like this:

__X
X__
XX_

[west hamlet]

Could work but not the best

[random zinc]

yeah, I know, but I'm ok with it

It's what I got when I made my first corvette

[west hamlet]

Pretty good

Everyones perfect layout is different

Some might want all the supercharge on a one tech some might want to spread it to a few

[hollow totem]

corvettes have more tech you can add so you can boost them more

[west plank]

Aster’s cargo services

[fathom bane]

With the living wall and medi pod why are they not giving an option to interact?

[mystic canopy]

Living wall you build plants onto, like a hydroponic bed
Medi pod just isn't interactable

[fathom bane]

oh so they do basically nothing then

"cosmetic"

[swift mist]

only the medi pod

is cosmetic atm

[balmy cedar]

Very nice

I have a colour suggestion if possible

Make the middle one colour and the side pods a shiny metal colour

[west plank]

I tried adjusting color but nothing happened last time I did. I’ll see what I can do

[terse kestrel]

You can put a save beacon on the floor against the wall and put a bunk over it. Activating the "bed" activates the save point behind it.

The med bay can have 2 or 3 wall health stations behind it. So you have to interact with the medbay to get health.

Bit of a way to make them "functional" and not just set pieces

[fathom bane]

:) gonna try this

[terse kestrel]

Or if you are handy with a wonder projector......

[fathom bane]

lmaoo

hes eepin

[terse kestrel]

Triage for sick proto gek you find in the wild 😭

[west plank]

Bit of an update to aster’s cargo services

[noble bone]

just came across this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eDFwA0v0ipc?feature=share dude is building destroyers and venator ships

[fathom bane]

Is it possible to hide these trails?

[glass surge]

without modding the game no there is no way to hide the trails

[dry moat]

Is there any tutorial or ppl show their ship? For me for reference hehe

[trail hornet]

#nms-showcase-corvettes

[mighty wadi]

Are there any suggestions on the amount of corvette parts you need to avoid to prevent lag or is it because of my computer?

[glass surge]

100 parts is the limit without mods if you're at that or under it and lagging it could be your pc

[untold oak]

Does it count as mental cruelty when a guy with 2500 pieces moves to my area at once?

[unreal tendon]

Out of curiosity, when it comes to usage as base, are you for corvette or freighter?
(Not counting planet base because, you know, geobays)

[raven rover]

corvette

but i do still use the freighter a lot, not as a base but for some utilities like the long warp and planetary probe

[fervent mist]

finally finished this super destroyer

[unreal tendon]

Ode to Liberty intensifies

[clear plaza]

I just learnt that the cyclotron has some little orb droid thing on its head .... are there anyways to make the thing larger and or hide the rest of the gun so it looks like an R2D2 droid head? and its animated XD

[unreal tendon]

You can probably glitch rest of turret into hull.

I've hidden mine in Longshore(?) Cowlings and roleplay them as pop-up turrets.

[tame patio]

Stealth is probably the closest to hiding the trails. Still shows as purple but it's harder to see.

[meager sierra]

To big? Should I shrink it?

[tawdry pewter]

anyone else having an issue after finalising a corvette where it changes to an older design and the new one isn't in the ship menu or is that just me

[short herald]

Drop by sometime - level 5 minerals, peaceful Gek system, and several planets with scrap to dig up

[spark iron]

Any tips for building the sails?

[unreal tendon]

It's mostly about imagination.
Which is why I often crib in Anomaly or here.
Either that, or it's boxes all the way down.

[spark iron]

Aight thanks
I hoped for a trick or trip since i have a lot of problems to align them

[unreal tendon]

Ah that.
Glitch building.
Sadly, I can't help with that.

[terse kestrel]

It's a pain in the ass. Aligning a lot of stuff on corvettes is twitchy and hard to get straight.

Best bet is to drop a tall decorative antenna next to the mast. This provides a visual "straight line" that makes it a bit easier to get your sails stright

[spark iron]

I'll try that glitch that mixes corvette building with base building I guess

[fair pilot]

OH FK when you snapped the part in the middle of nowhere and no w histerically looking where it got snapped...

[safe heath]

Man I kinda wish the game would actually change the color of the exhaust with the trail because it’s always blue when I add red trials throws it all off

[sweet rune]

Spotted a corvette-made Halo UNSC frigate in the Anomaly.

[terse kestrel]

Careful cause last update took it away somewhat. Now a lot of what you build with base camera stay put when you fly away.

It was extremely unstable and breaking people's game

[random zinc]

what is the limit of non-ship part things (like decals) that you can put on the corvette?

[terse kestrel]

Unlimited

Have yet to see anybody hit any sort of ceiling or limit on decorative parts. It comes down to what your system can handle.

[warm lake]

I haven't delved into Corvette building yet properly. Is there unlockable building parts/decals via missions or is everything do-able just requiring purchases?

[hoary agate]

It counts as base i think

[terse kestrel]

There are a few decorative items which you cannot place on a corvette. But it's a small list. Pretty much any decoration that you can place on your base or for your can be put on the Corvettes

[hoary agate]

So silmiar limits

[warm lake]

Cool ty:)

[terse kestrel]

Yutaka went absolutely nuts on decorations and still didn't hit the limit. To the point where it lagged them out

[terse kestrel]

So even though it doesn't follow the 3,000 limit it still counts against our upper limit per save file? I could see that.

[hoary agate]

Yes..it counts towards save file limit

[terse kestrel]

My ruined Castle Corvette has about 175 decorations on it. And I stopped there to make sure it was stable for multiplayer and the anomaly.

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

[spark iron]

Oh

[remote sparrow]

Is there a way to place a landing pad for smaller ships when building the Corvette so that you can land your ship on your own Corvette? Or even a friend's Corvette?

I would like to build a freighter-like Corvette with a landing hangar that is closed, i.e., surrounded by walls.

Can anyone give me some tips or is there already a YouTube video on this?

(working landing pad)

[silk zealot]

Sadly no

The best way I found to have a "landing pad" was to have stairs opening a hole to the top of your corvette

Your friend can get out of their ship, land on top of your corvette and go into it through the stairs instead of trying to space walk into a small accessway.

[spark iron]

That sounds actually kinda cool

[silk zealot]

Yeah me and my friend did expedition 20 this way haha

[remote sparrow]

So that would be a working landing pad? Just glitch it on the corvette and then someone else can land on it?

Is there a way to glitch the scale of Corvette parts?

[silk zealot]

As soon as someone lands on the corvette they wont float anymore.

[silk zealot]

It isnt a ship landing pad, more of a person landing pad.

[spark iron]

With no wire glitch not yet

[remote sparrow]

any Problems with the wire glitch in Multiplayer?

[terse kestrel]

There's a mod for PC to get a landing pad on your Corvette if you want it. Expanding the build limit Beyond 100. Things like that. But no way to do it on console or in vanilla

[spark iron]

I meant, since there's no secondary building mode for the corvettes building we can't trick the caché and thus changing sizes on corvettes parts

[remote sparrow]

Whats the Mod called?

[remote sparrow]

?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah HG wasn't dumb. They made sure that the wire glitch had no function whatsoever on corvettes. They knew what we would do with that

[remote sparrow]

i see

[terse kestrel]

"I wonder if I can glitch some power transmitters on my Corvette and recharge my hyperdrive by hovering over a hotspot" 🤔

Probably not. But we would have tried if they would have given us wire glitching on Corvettes

[remote sparrow]

Would be sick

[terse kestrel]

Hell yeah

[remote sparrow]

what was the mods name?

[random zinc]

I thought the wire glitch was used for positioning. confused

[terse kestrel]

I'm not sure. Don't use them myself

#nms-modding

They'll be able to help you out on that one

[remote sparrow]

thanks a lot 😄 ❤️

[abstract crow]

It doesn't work as well as you might think. You can land, but supposedly, your ship stays where the landing pad was originally at when you landed.

[spark iron]

You can
1 use energy mode to place a wire
2 press y+x to change to edit mode
3 copy and resize a resize able piece
4 press x+y+rt to place a giant wire

From there you can pretty much resize almost every deco from using the same process with that giant wire

Wire and reverse wire glitch are quite versatile and can have different uses besides of positioning, but mainly it is for creating new snapping points

X is your assigned "change to edit mode" button
Y is your assigned "change to cable mode" button
Rt is your assigned "place build/deco button"

[true kettle]

trying to attach something on this.. what is possible?

on the s-foil

this is what i'm trying to make but expanded and better

[shadow wraith]

Offset the part by 1.5 vertically?

Use an intake part to do it

[true kettle]

well it seems it won't let me do off setting since i'm doing this on a laptop

don't know why

[random zinc]

yeah this is what I thought, but the surrounding discussion was about putting power transmitters on the corvette and recharging the hyperdrive by hovering over a hotspot

[trail hornet]

i love this idea

my quinjet attempt (i'ma redo it soon)

[true kettle]

this looks nice... wow

[trail hornet]

yeah thank you lol

[golden breach]

I tried building one, but damn do i suck at this shit 😂

[true kettle]

we'll never know until we try.. everyone begins somewhere

this is somewhat of a progress

[trail hornet]

sickkkkk

[true kettle]

the back side

only if the s-foil could be of use to attach a booster or something.. that would be fire

[trail hornet]

try and glitch a temporary hab in there

[true kettle]

ok

[trail hornet]

using the vents and the rockhopper thing

[cloud vessel]

a

[abstract crow]

The interior design process is well underway. Got a lot to do apart from my open area.

[cloud vessel]

jezus

nice

[spark iron]

Like doing corridor-wing-atachment? In that order from the center to the side?

Cheezus, oh it does the same thing as in a freighter fake big room, oh nice

[true kettle]

trying to add some boosters on the top

like extended wing boosters kind of thing

[spark iron]

Do you have the expedition Cannon? If you snap it in a square foundation on the upper border you can do a .5 elevation and trick a booster there

Since that Canon has an extra snapping point under it

You have to delete/move the inicial square and put it under the cannon

Once you get the booster aligned with the wing it should stay connected to the ship

[true kettle]

Not right now.. cause i didn't buy the game. Using a community supported earned game pass.

[spark iron]

Too bad, it's quite useful for some tricks with the corvettes snapping points

[true kettle]

yeah i know i'm missing out on stuff..

we can edit the current corvette right?? After finalizing it

I just want to make it as a cargo hauler.. for the time being

what can i use to fill this space

[bold roost]

Yes

[silver swift]

I wish there was more visual options on the cockpit selection. It’s either good looking and restricted to see when you fly in VR or it’s great to see out but looks like a bug. 😐

[shadow wraith]

I just want the wide body one

The placeholder one with three seats (and probably two walkways wide)

[fair pilot]

This canon reactorless corvette is fun

should build it

[trail hornet]

yes.

[balmy cedar]

Yea

I usually stick a medusa on the bottom tho

[true kettle]

a little WIP

it's a chonky boi... i'll have to make changes

alot

[trail hornet]

love it!!

[spark iron]

Nice

[true kettle]

thank you

[hard fjord]

What changes are you planning? For what's worth, it seems nice to me.

[true kettle]

Going to make it wider and longer. Definitely needs more storage and moving area

[hard fjord]

Oh, I see. Makes sense.

[spark iron]

I get it, mine uses all the possible length

[true kettle]

Yeah.. i went inside and saw the mistakes i made. I will work on it.

[hard fjord]

I contemplated making a corvette with all the storage containers... but nah. It would be tricky I think. Decided they will stay on the freighter lol.

[true kettle]

a freighter would make sense yes

[spark iron]

You need like 3 corridors

Each storage uses 1 snapping point and each corridor has 4

[fair pilot]

4 hubs is the optimal size imo. 3 hubs = 10 boxes + refiner + mission center

And 1 hub for cozy living space.

(said the guy with 9 hubs)

[abstract crow]

What if my corvette is closer to 50 habs?

[hard fjord]

Less than I thought I must admit

[fair pilot]

I need internal doors for corvettes and more parts.

I don't want to improvise a bath with what we have now

[abstract crow]

Updated hinted at with the word "Door"
Looks inside
No doors

[fair pilot]

😄

[shadow wraith]

I need a hab end cover reee

Probably half habs with ladders, or a flat landing bay

My VCX-100 must grow

[fair pilot]

I'd like 2-blocks long landing bay and cockpits, that are sleek

[shadow wraith]

You mean wide

2 blocks long cockpits would be funny

[balmy cedar]

Full Z axis

Or heck

Dual cockpit ships

[fair pilot]

Long.

[balmy cedar]

Ships that can combine

[fair pilot]

Like modern fighter jets

[balmy cedar]

Solar sail ships

Heh

All sorts of ideas for corvettes

[shadow wraith]

True

That thunderbird cockpit do be useless due to that tumor on the titan cockpit

[fair pilot]

I wish we could cut it, yeah

[hard fjord]

Can you use any of them to fly the ship?

[abstract crow]

Buildable bridges that you can make longer, shorter, wider, or narrower as you see fit.

[fair pilot]

'vettes aren't that big for bridges, but some kind of would be fine

[shadow wraith]

I can, but the 1st Person UI is set on the first cockpit you put

[hard fjord]

I see, thank you. Interesting solution from HG lol.

[shadow wraith]

I.E if I sit on the Thunderbird cockpit, I teleport to the Titan cockpit lmao

But when getting out, I teleport to the Thunderbird one, regardless of which I used

Which is fine, since that floor is my living space

[balmy cedar]

The ghost?

Very nice

Does it have the "tongue?"

Aka the front ramp?

[trail hornet]

i can see one in that pic

[true kettle]

what do we use to connect habs?

[balmy cedar]

Pieces

[trail hornet]

walkways probably

[nimble stirrup]

halls

[trail hornet]

depends on what you want

[balmy cedar]

I use reactors if they're internal

But like, not inside the habs

That way I cut down on dead space

Lotta people make perty corvettes

But stat-wise they're aight IG

Don't forget the azimuth reactor recharges your ship folks

A single medusa won't make your millenium falcon do the kessel run

Buuut

Also have fun

[shadow wraith]

Different variant of mine, but yeah

[balmy cedar]

Very nice

I have a millenium falcon myself

Also an unfinished republic gunship

[shadow wraith]

It looks close enough when viewed directly up front

But it's still too squished in Z axis (since there's no 3x2 triangle parts yet)

[balmy cedar]

I won't show my razor crest ofd bc I built it off a tutorial

[trail hornet]

is there any way to open a hab/walkway without using entryways?

[balmy cedar]

It looks very accurate

[balmy cedar]

Nope

[trail hornet]

damn

[balmy cedar]

I wish we could make it so we could make large interior rooms

Lord knows how many people would make the enterprise bridge

Anyone here know ship anatomy?

Keel, bow, stern, all that?

Port is left side, starboard is right

Have fun and go sail

[abstract crow]

Need a way to make a hab this large.

[shadow wraith]

Headroom is too low

Must fit an entire Explorer

[abstract crow]

Sacrifice I had to make for the sake of a good bridge base

[shadow wraith]

Oh yeah, I also saw a Saucer yesterday that had a complete set of base parts

Wish I could do that on my VCX (particularly, the teleporter and store)

[abstract crow]

My other cruiser has more head room, but I gotta completely redo the flooring. Somehow made it crooked.

[fair pilot]

I'm uncontrollably giggling over these legs xD

[abstract crow]

I need to see a corvette as wide/long as possible covered in those things to create a forest of legs.

[fair pilot]

😄

[raven rover]

[exotic spruce]

doors for habs (front, back, sides), a 2 to 1 converter hab (I am not a fan of asymmetrical ships) that takes two side by side habs then converts it to one hab connector (rotatable either front or back at least but all 4 axis points would work great if you could rotate landing pad habs east/west)

[raven rover]

is the normal landing gear fixed yet?

[exotic spruce]

is it broken in what way?

[raven rover]

They wont extend

leading to some

Uh

Funny stuff

[exotic spruce]

with large ships anything I use landing gear wise it kinda tips to the left and then flops down into the ground

[exotic spruce]

damn

I should try the skinny high heels

[raven rover]

they funny

[shadow crown]

Imo only the hover ones truly look correct most of the time

[shadow wraith]

Hover ones looks odd when in flight tho

At least let us retract it instead of sticking out

[hard fjord]

The fire / lighting they make on landing makes them worth it.

[swift mist]

that's why you gotta hide them with offsets

[shadow wraith]

That's every landing gear

[exotic spruce]

I use the hover ones - they still do the ship leans hard left then flops down to the right and still either sinks in the ground or hovers a hab unit up beyond the reach of the ramp

[hard fjord]

Oh really? ...why would normal landing gear set the ground on fire?...
Tsk, gotta zendesk that.

[shadow wraith]

Because they have thrusters in the middle

How do you think they take off, by jumping like a pogo stick?

[swift mist]

if you actually land your corvette instead of hovering, you're a landlubber

[abstract crow]

I just slam into the ground like a giant dart.

[shadow wraith]

Also, I like the sound these landing gears make when they're being used

That thump is just

idk it's pretty peak

[swift mist]

with the size of your ships youll cause minor earthquakes mate

[hard fjord]

Engines go VTOL mode.
But fine, no zendesk then.
(I never used the normal landing gears)

[shadow wraith]

I used them when they still worked

[abstract crow]

My dream to to one day slice clean through a planet like a giant sword.

[shadow wraith]

Then they broke it sometime during mid-October

Still, I still love seeing it land whenever I call it back

Hits particularly hard during the storyline ending

[abstract crow]

I can't really call in my cruisers on land, but if I call them in on water, it's awe-inspiring. Little goofy seeing how nimble they are when they spin around, though.

[shadow wraith]

My favourite is it spinning around despite having a frontal landing bay

5% chance only tho

(They do spin just as fast with the flight assist override btw)

[sick kayak]

I've got this cargo boat looking corvette and it's so funny seeing the big rectangle rotate with a force that could demolish a building

[terse kestrel]

If the access ramp up front is on the bottom and you have another access ramp on the back on the next level above that's what happens.

The bottom hab and access ramp always drop facing you touching the ground.

But if you don't have that other access ramp on the rear on the next level up or on the same level as the front one it will usually spin around to the rear

[shadow wraith]

I only have a single landing bay in that case lmao

It just does it randomly, especially during the corvette meet this last weekend

[stable onyx]

i want to join and see awesome corvette creations

[unreal tendon]

I adore Thunderbird lander legs, especially how they switch to horizontal configuration during flight.

Internally, I really like Ambassador parts, but externally it's Thunderbird and Rockhopper.

[low light]

Is there an easy way to swap out Habs without dismantling the whole corvette? I want to swap from Titan to Thunderbird aesthetic

[exotic spruce]

crawl inside it

you should be able to select it, then move it if you don't trust your delete button and by moving it and not placing it it will return it to corvette parts

*I have to do that when fiddling with base parts in corvette builds and vice versa to place something floating, like using a reactor to attach a snap point for a decoration piece then removing the reactor

[golden breach]

first attempt, trying more stuff later

[exotic spruce]

Float On

[abstract crow]

Flying boat

Still need an Edmund Fitzgerald corvette design. Someone with more time and skills than I, get on it.

[low light]

Thank you. So this may be naïve.. you can only edit the parts from the station terminal right? How do I get inside the corvette after pressing the console?

[elder iron]

The hatch should be open, its hard to navigate, but still possible

[random zinc]

where's the best place to take a glamour shot of the corvette?

[low light]

Ok. How do I move my character while I'm in the editor?

[elder iron]

You dont

You move the camera

[abstract crow]

Space

For glamor.

[low light]

Okayyy I see! Thank you guys

[shadow wraith]

I finally figured out how to make seemless surfaces

Only for covers though. Habs would be unusable if done like this

[spark iron]

Tried an approach in making a jolly Roger, a plain panel with some stickers

[fair pilot]

When 2 entrances, which is picked as teleport destination?

One that placed later?

[spark iron]

I think it is so
Only had a multiple entrances corvette once

[elder iron]

I have no clue, lol. My explorer has 4 entrances right now, but the one to the left of the cockpit is where the ground teleporter takes me to

[trim crest]

Is there a way to resize corvette parts yet?

[fair pilot]

No.

Mods/blender.

[trim crest]

Dang 😔

[abstract crow]

Someone tested the multiple ectrance thing before. I don't remember what the answer was for certain, but I think it was whatever was placed first.

[stone shadow]

I've seen it on anomaly today. Great build. Too bad I couldn't get inside cuz my game was bugging

[terse kestrel]

@trim crest

https://youtu.be/vqVlRpCOkQA?si=TUfiHY-FtguIYOaA

1 minute into that video it shows how to do it. It's pretty straightforward.

You just need a half hab, access ramp and another half hab. With a long hab underneath the access ramp.

Then you can take the half hab attached to the access ramp and mesh it over the access ramp. This gives you an empty space between your cockpit and ramp in which you can just enter and exit your Corvette and cockpit quickly

[trim crest]

Thanks man 🔥

[spark iron]

❤️‍🔥

[cloud vessel]

i really hope they add doors and landing pads to corvettes soon

[fair pilot]

Btw ramp attached from the side still opens the hub iirc

I just thought, that it is shame that we cannot freeplace "beam to the xxx" button anywhere in corvette.

[terse kestrel]

We have the short range teleporter. We should just be able to place it wherever and when we beam up that's where we go to. Instead of always at the access ramp

[elder iron]

Man, this is reminding me that theres actually a reason most games dont have mobile bases

[terse kestrel]

Yep. Ark was special. From the big very beginning they coated their base parts and building systems to be mobile. So they can be built on the back of walking dinos and flying creatures

[elder iron]

Granted, I'm not a code diver, but the way corvettes function indicates that their existence is made of workarounds

[terse kestrel]

What Hello games is doing is trying to transition much of their static-based building to a more mobile Ark system. Which I'm sure has been a nightmare in game physics.

[remote cape]

Doors would be nice. I don't know how they would implement landing pads though.

[elder iron]

Physics? How about file storage?

How do you reference the locations of a teleporter when that location is variable?

[cloud vessel]

just have a buildable landing pad to put on ur corvette

also LET US SPACE WALK FROM OTHER SHIPS

[elder iron]

Especially since I am increasingly under the impression that corvettes are stored as a nested/tree file

[terse kestrel]

Exactly.

Everything about teleporters and Base building in general was not meant to be put on a ship and sent through pulse drive. They weren't built that way from the start and they're having to force it to work now

[elder iron]

The corvette "worldgrid" seems to be based on radial coordinates, though I very well could be mistaken

[terse kestrel]

So it's like Corvettes become their own little planet. Their own world space. In which it's technically the universe that's moving around it. Not the Corvette itself.

Like the heart of Gold of hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy 😂

[elder iron]

Well, thats how most mobile base games tend to do it, like Raft

Its just that the worldspace for corvettes is wacky in such a way that I almost can figure out how its structured in the code by building

It definitely has a defined "center," though I havent tested what counts as one

[terse kestrel]

And because of this it means it does operate like freighters and Planet bases. In which if it's not in your immediate vicinity it risks "despawning", wiping out things like refiners and resetting your Tech.

Because of that the tech shuffle may not be easily fixable.

[elder iron]

Freighter bases dont empty refiners as long as the freighter stays still

I forgot whether ive tested summoning the freighter closer

[fossil prairie]

that’s the base principle mostly for every warp technology

[elder iron]

But for corvettes, I mean that they have unique issues compared to regular bases. Decorations rotate based on relative position to the center of a module, the game loses track of decorations scales below a certain point that changes as you move further from the center

[fossil prairie]

you bend spacetime behind and in the front of the ship, creating a kind of bubble, and you push that distortion moving the bubble

[elder iron]

I thought it was because the grid was smaller in general, but if its a radial grid, then it would totally be easier to hit a floating point error in placing decorations

[fossil prairie]

so the ship doesn’t move and doesn’t violate the physics laws

[elder iron]

Nms has hyperspace tunnels anyway

[spark iron]

Kinda

[elder iron]

Though freighters definitely seem to use warp drives even for conventional movement

[fossil prairie]

I try to not get into the anomaly with my corvette since sometimes it clips with someone’s else corvette and I have to restart

[tall trellis]

Has anyone here made any Star Wars ships?

[terse kestrel]

It'll never be fixed. Ships meshing together when they land in the anomaly has been a thing for many years. It was fine with legacy ships because you just spawned next to it. You didn't get stuck.

Seeing a radiant pillar meshed with a living ship never got old 😂

[fossil prairie]

it should be possible to move that thing in space I guess, they could make that in an update, would be cool

[elder iron]

Yeah, the game already tries to put you in an instance of the anomaly that has an open landing pad, but if multiple people enter at the same time, it could send both to the same instance

[tall trellis]

Wider cockpits would leave me jaw dropped

[fossil prairie]

lol

[elder iron]

Haha not a chance in the universe

Even the fastest boost ship speed would look so slow seeing a freighter moving at that speed

[fossil prairie]

hahaha yeah maybe would be boring for a game, but if we had technology at the level of the game, it would be possible, maybe even easy

im not sure 100% but in space you dont need too much force to move something, even being that big

[teal barn]

how hard would it be to recreate the edmund fitzgerald as a corvette

[elder iron]

You do not, but acceleration would take ages

And so would deceleration

[fossil prairie]

hahah true

[tall trellis]

Would be sick if we could manually operate the weapons on our corvette

[elder iron]

And I always describe freighters as stupidly massive for a reason

[fossil prairie]

having a turret for another player would be perfect

[elder iron]

I do think that sort of turret is a planned feature

I cant think of any other reason why theyd put one on the titan cockpit

[brisk jay]

Anybody know if theres a way to make one of these parts face upwards?

[elder iron]

X

Flip part vertical

[stone shadow]

This was one of the worst decisions made by HG. Titan cockpit would be awesome without it

[brisk jay]

sorry should of been clearer, I meant like with the pointed part facing upwards not just fliped upside down

[elder iron]

I dont understand the difference tbh

[fossil prairie]

I use Titan cockpit only cause it seems to boost maneuverability better

[elder iron]

Corvettes definitely have more co-op style features planned

[hoary agate]

I remade my corvette... i have enough of corvettes for now

I dont like how the back looks in comparison to old one but cant do better

[elder iron]

I struggle with the back of corvettes, too

My most recent design, I practically designed the front and back as two independent parts, lol

[wise gyro]

ive freestyle built a corvette and it turned out to be too far back in the workbench and i cant finish the back side, is there a way to move the whole ship forwards without deletinh everything and building it over again further forwards?

[random zinc]

I use titan cockpit because it makes all the screens easy to read

[elder iron]

No, not really

[wise gyro]

damn

[elder iron]

Had a similar issue where I wanted a design with a boat-like underside, and had to move everything up by one grid space

[wise gyro]

should really be a feature to select all or multiple parts

[hoary agate]

And undo button

[random zinc]

or even exiting the workshop without saving or applying changes

[wise gyro]

fr

[terse kestrel]

Oh you can back out completely. When you hit the back button you just select "store changes" instead of applying edits. It reverts to how it was before you entered the build menu.

When you go back into the build menu you can either choose to continue what changes you were making or start fresh edits

[abstract crow]

There's a lot of QoL features we want them to add. Only time will tell if any do get added.

[random zinc]

this is not what I mean. you should be able to go back to what it was when you last saved changes

[abstract crow]

I want real letters as decals, dammit.

[random zinc]

discard most recent changes from the stored design

[random zinc]

what are the unreal letters?

[hoary agate]

Nms txt would need less decals than regular alphabet

[abstract crow]

Anything not the version of the Latin/Roman alphabet we use for English.

[random zinc]

well we get no letters of any type at the moment

[abstract crow]

I want to be able to put the ship's name on the hull or the rear.

[terse kestrel]

I mean if you're good with number rotation and straight-line decals you can form your own letters 😂

[abstract crow]

Though I can guess why that's not a thing.

[hoary agate]

"Caution"

[terse kestrel]

One man's 3 is another man's sideways W

[random zinc]

sure but we don't even get those letters as decals

I'd love those letters as decals

[elder iron]

I think we get a couple, maybe

[spark iron]

Wait fr? aren't they 26 letters?

[hoary agate]

I mean need few shapes to make all the letters

[abstract crow]

I will gladly take a performance hit/larger update size just to have regular letters.

[fair pilot]

So I've got funny engine too.

But the trail is detached

[hoary agate]

We need just few shape decals to make all the letters

[spark iron]

Oh right, not all of them overlap as good as the numbers tho, it would need a bit of skill

But yeah, they barely are 5 shapes

[hardy oracle]

Seems like you might be able to make everything with just these three if there's no border, though you'd need a fair few more if they have the same sort of border that the existing numbers do:

[lusty light]

im going to be building my 1st corvette outside of the last expeditioin. should i buy all the parts from the spacestation? do spacestations have diff parts to sell?

[hardy oracle]

You can get every part from salvage, but only some by paying units at the station

[spark iron]

Yeah but with five there would be less need to overlap a ton of decals

3 just to do an "a" is crazy

[hardy oracle]

That's true. I don't really see any reason they couldn't just give all of them anyway, they clearly have the decals since theyr'e being used all over in game already

[spark iron]

Right

[fair pilot]

Ah this shit doesn't allow me to form a full tube

whyyyy

And nothing can be snapped inside too...

This place does not exist.

[abstract crow]

Many such cases

[fair pilot]

Even if it is just 3 of these part further to the sides.

But long cover can be snapped here.

[tame patio]

It might be because of how things are placed. Try adding a hab next to it to get a snapping point.

[fair pilot]

Are ya kidding me

[tame patio]

If it works then it works. I'd go with what works.

[fair pilot]

Nope, not working too.

I can snap only oone, and only on one side

But I can fit all 4 this way 😄

[tame patio]

it's because while they look like half the size, they work like full size items.

[glass surge]

I had to use numerous titan walkway habs to force a piece like one of the fuel pods or cover engines to snap correctly to the same piece or even move the titan walkways through the other cover engine piece to have it snap where i want.

You pretty much have to use glitch techniques to get the look you want

[abstract crow]

Glitches win again.

Glitchality!

could anyone help me out with parts for corvette ship?

[brisk jay]

Does the short range tp work on the corvette? I keep trying but I can't connect them

[glass surge]

people have tried but the short range teleporter doesn't work

[golden tundra]

I cannot stand the stairs, so my corvette is restricted by me to have one level only coz of the teleport drama

[fair pilot]

So uh, whatever the hell I've built

It started like attempt to build the shuttle, and Atlas see whatever it resulted into...

[golden tundra]

To be fair, it looks cool and the style of spaceship you would expect in a space game, it does not look "artificial"

[fair pilot]

smol chonker

[terse kestrel]

Put those rims where the circles are as expanders. Should be able to make a full circle that way

[fair pilot]

I'll note it, ty

[remote cape]

Another ship that could be cool as a Corvette. I don't think it's possible to make it though. Kudos to those who recognize it.

[fair pilot]

For next time tho, because I like this whatever the crap I've built xD

[terse kestrel]

You could use big blobs on holo projectors all over the Corvette. To simulate all the fat people

[fair pilot]

no rear entrance tho. Could place thunderbird if I'll not use the boxes tho. Hmmhmhmhmh

Who need cargo space anyway

When you have freighter

and larger corvette for that

Titan cockpit looks too bad?

[golden tundra]

I don't like those fins or whatever it has on top of it

[fair pilot]

something turret-related, yeah

[golden tundra]

that is why I have been using the one you had

the other one, looks alien cockpit and does not go well with everything IMHO

[fair pilot]

Ah!

Fun thing I've found

Shield generator are snapping INSIDE of the overside cargo link

Like LITERALLY HIDING INSIDE

[golden tundra]

I couldn't afford that to hide my 7 reactors

[fair pilot]

I have no idea how to screenshot it, but trust I probably could show this on stream

[golden tundra]

Some parts to fit within one another saving space

[fair pilot]

Look

this thing

[golden tundra]

Noice, and good to know

[fair pilot]

When I place shield generator on top:

And when on the ending point

Or side point

[glass surge]

the ball high engery sheild can merge with that cargo link in the front

[fair pilot]

every shield generator just hides inside

It is not visible anymore

[golden tundra]

Heads up tho, adding this thing there without anything to smooth its front, will hurt the maneuv.
Try your best to make the parts as aerodynamic as possible, you can go from heaven to hell very fast, unless you don't care.

[fair pilot]

Ohhhhh, good news - every huge joint can do this with shields

link*

EVERY of these parts.

[golden tundra]

The dark side doing this is when you need to move things, my corvette design left side, I must remove a lot to move some parts. So you need to place these parts hoping you won't touch them again

[fair pilot]

So if you don't like how shield gen sticks out, but can fit some of these somewhere - you can hide all shields inside.

[glass surge]

Ballast tank to high energy ducting still don't exist outside of creative / switching crafting cost to free

[fair pilot]

Enabled creative just to check modules I don't have.

[errant depot]

Anyone else notice that the Thunderbird class loading bay uses the Titan class interior?

[fair pilot]

Ah so that was not brain fart

[final dragon]

Any ideas what to put next to the wings to smooth things out?

[fair pilot]

So that's what I tried to build xD

[fair pilot]

rotated wings.

Works every time like a charm

😄

[fair pilot]

And what it resulted into...

[final dragon]

That looks cool!

[spark iron]

Yup, quite nice

[final dragon]

When I press R2

R1 I mean.

[fair pilot]

There is some weird magic for that.

[spark iron]

You need to use L2
Nah jk

[fair pilot]

Place small hub on top of reactor (just easiest place for that). Save ship as is. Go to that small hub. Add ladder to it. Go back to corvette edit. Add small hub over the one you placed ladder on. Then edit the first small hub you placed - it should become rotatable.

[spark iron]

Holy frick

[fair pilot]

And everything you attach to it is rotated

[final dragon]

Maybe I'll just choose an easier design.

[fair pilot]

so you place bunch of rotated hubs where you need, add rotated wings or whatever, then remove hubs and place normal.

[golden tundra]

Ahh, my second corvette, I wanted the exit to be under the cockpit but was like, how am I supposed to turn this thing??
My second corvette is gonna look some ugly, I can already tell haha

[fair pilot]

Exit is rotatable by default.

Just click rotation button

[wishful thinking not worth programming] I wish there was a way to use different types of equipment in different hallways - like Ambassador's Mission Finder in Thunderbird or Titan Habs.

vs (so much wasted space in Ambassador but less random shit hobbled together)

Being able to jam the Millenium Falcon's chessboard in an Ambassador hab would be sweet too.

[final dragon]

Adding tech.

Finally decided to get back into shipbuilding since the breach update.. first order of business was improving the snorvette (snail corvette)

Neat

[exotic spruce]

like a box of razor blades - too many edges. 🙂

--- Need some astetic advice - ship line from the left side or actual parts line up on the right ? (I know I can shift a hab back one to make the left "logical")

[terse kestrel]

Easy 90° hab spin. It builds it half offset up. So you can offset it down one space to line it up with the rest of the ship

[austere raptor]

i build a ship and i got clipped into the inside of parts that go through it when i exit! what should i do?

[glass cloak]

Hey, could someone take a look at this and tell me, roughly, what I'd need to do to make it? It's the Bacchus 3 from an old Japanese sci-fi TV show "Starwolf", known as "Fugitive Alien" in the U.S.https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/star-wolf-bacchus-iii-metal-model-468305702

[terse kestrel]

Sounds like the physical box of one of your parts is clipping into the hall or access way. Do you have weapons around where you get sticks?

[errant depot]

I use this setup instead #nms-corvette-discussion message

the changes are very minmall, I smoothened out the front of the top shell and added tail fins

Also the new engines work so well in making the curvature of the hull.

old butt vs new butt

@raven rover

[sick echo]

All my corvette ships I made and ready to go

[true kettle]

upgrade from last night WIP

it became more chonky

[night cypress]

#nms-showcase-corvettes

Looks great tho

[true kettle]

oh did i put it wrong channel

[night cypress]

yeh. There's a LOT of channels tho. can't blame ya lol

[raven rover]

Hell yeahhhh

Looks sick af

[pliant sparrow]

ty!

[raven rover]

i got a new ship too

It has a hole

[pliant sparrow]

I’ve been working on the j-wing a little too but tbh I have more fun working on me roach

[raven rover]

[pliant sparrow]

the last one u showed me had a hole too

[raven rover]

going for the junker feel

Kinda turned into a car paint shop

😭

[pliant sparrow]

the shape screams roach but it’s like its been passed down from owner to owner lmao

this looks so good

[raven rover]

😭 nah bro that was unintended

Its lopsided

Asymetrical

[pliant sparrow]

Do you got a top down view of it

:0

[raven rover]

brb lemme open up the game

[pliant sparrow]

Oh nvm it's definitely its own thing

I love how the undercarriage gives it a boat kind-of-feel

[raven rover]

Yeahhh looks kinda like a boat

With a hole in it

[pliant sparrow]

Like you took inspo from tugboats and military carrier vessels

[raven rover]

😂

[pliant sparrow]

the hole goes hard

[raven rover]

My inspo was

[pliant sparrow]

Your ship is peak candidate for flags and cloth canopies bro

[raven rover]

How can i make this as all over the place as possible

[pliant sparrow]

go crazy

[raven rover]

Wanted to put flags but im trying to fiddle with the "junk" Part first

[pliant sparrow]

Understandable

[raven rover]

Still looks too clean

[pliant sparrow]

You need a bit of differentiation with the color

[raven rover]

Yeah i tried some

[pliant sparrow]

But if hull part recoloring is too obvious then use flags and cloth

[terse kestrel]

@true kettle combination of Atlas, speed bird and Arcadia parts

[whole ridge]

is there a way to get free corvette parts (destroying ships)?

[pliant sparrow]

Like my hull is pretty much one solid color with the exception of the back thrusters being a rusted black. Most of the color comes from my flags and bright colored wiring.

[raven rover]

yeahh

I wanted to add some sploch of random rusted colors

[pliant sparrow]

Can your ship and mine be relatives

[raven rover]

But idk, it might be too much

[raven rover]

Hell yeah

[pliant sparrow]

Perhaps, but you have a lot of greeble to begin with going on, especially on the top

Adding color that can contrast with it helps it to pop out more

[raven rover]

yup

ill probably try adding some freighter colors

might be fun

[pliant sparrow]

But tbf the brown color you went for does make it a little hard to add in bright colors, maybe mostly white cloth?

Red would look nice too

[raven rover]

Yeah the white canopies

I wanted to add that but idk where to place em that would make sense

[pliant sparrow]

Whatever adds to the silhouette bro

[raven rover]

Also some of these goddamn base parts dont have a rusted option

😭 😭 😭 😭

[pliant sparrow]

Yeah it's rough

[past atlas]

is it possible to make wings like this?

[raven rover]

Yes

[past atlas]

how?

[raven rover]

Might require some glitching but its very possible

[past atlas]

is there any video about how to do it?

[past atlas]

woah thats cool

[raven rover]

check the pinned messages here

there are some guides on how to angle parts

might help you make that front swept wings

[past atlas]

alright thank you

[raven rover]

np yangyang enjoyer

[past atlas]

she is my wife after all XD

[raven rover]

my bini 😭

@pliant sparrow these sausages looks so good on junker builds

[twin bolt]

Pleaaasee.. I need help.. How do you guys build so cool Ships. I don't even know where to start. I feel like i don't see any Hubs in your Builds at all and in my I can't hide them

[exotic spruce]

start with what you need - some start with exterior and wedge in habs, others start with habs and slap things on the outside until they start looking cool to you. And remember to do cool for yourself - impressing people comes later.

Hiding habs is the hard part - someone once said in this chat slap an air purifier on it and that fixes most problems with a visible hab. 🙂

[raven rover]

when in doubt?

[exotic spruce]

Radiators and cowling work too. And remember you can use base decoration parts too even in vanilla (I use a mod personally to allow almost everything)

[raven rover]

boom

[exotic spruce]

put a ~~bird on it ~~air purifier on it.

[raven rover]

any surface needing some details?

feeling like its too barren?

too plain?

the air purifier gotchu

[past atlas]

thanks a lot @raven rover this will make my ship looks better

and also, holy shit that air purifier thing works pretty good

[raven rover]

Ayyyyyy looks goooood bro

[raven rover]

Hell yeah

[past atlas]

thanks bro the hard part is doing the same on the other side 😄

if only i can just ctrl+C and ctrl+V

[raven rover]

I'd just stand in the middle and place the windows on both sides

So the angle wont change that much

Doing it 1 by 1 is torture

And higher risk of it being crooked

[past atlas]

yep fr, i hope i dont mess the other side

[raven rover]

Gl bang

[past atlas]

tengkyu bang

[dark juniper]

gahhh both cockpits look so clean

[tame patio]

I've never been a big fan of the gun on top the titan cockpit.

[dark juniper]

I just like how spaceous it is

[tame patio]

True, it's a good looking one, it's just the exterior gun. I won't be surprised if eventually we end up with one that doesn't have the gun.

[true kettle]

you talking about my corvette lol

just saw the noti rn.. mb

also thanks for the compliment ❤️

[true kettle]

lmao sausage

😂

[low light]

I saw that I can't scrap a corvette... So the only way to remove it from my collection, is to replace it with another ship?

[fair pilot]

Replace, rebuild, save-edit.

I'm rebuilding the worse one often. Then the next worse.

etc.

[strong bronze]

Hello there Have you ever managed to find these missing corvette parts? It's impossible to find them in normal save , either by digging them up or searching for them in abandoned cargo ships. Is it even possible?

[fair pilot]

As I understood they're jut not available at all. I needed some of them for my build (test purposes mostly), so I used creative mode for that.

[strong bronze]

Okay, that's what I did too, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks for your reply.

[fair pilot]

I have a question tho.
Usually the "branched" shield generator provides 14% shield bonus. But yesterday when I've build a corvette, it provided only 8. And othe generators provided 7-8% too instead of variety from 7% to 14%. Was that fixed/changed?

alr, we NEED to be able to use some base modules on corvette. Allow sunroof (glass roof?) module looks like best fkn ever bridge for corvettes (screenshot is stolen from nms creative/sharing hub )

If only corvettes supported at least 70 total tech slots, huh...

[low light]

#nms-showcase-corvettes message
This is the first unique build I feel okay showing. My goal was to not have any sharp Hub corners showing. So I tried to keep the shape organic and flowing. The arrowhead silhouette was a happy coincidence.
I really liked how the Ambassador Booster engine interacted with the Supercruise Aerofoil and that became my inspiration for the rest of the ship

[unreal tendon]

I prefer Thunderbird too, but that because of legs and entryway, and I want uniform internals. Plus, ambassador schnoz clips into everything under it.

[fair pilot]

Speedbird cowling is the best part to place under the amby bubble. It still clips slightly, but less noticeable than other parts.

[unreal tendon]

Good to know.
I adore W-Y style of that one.

[random zinc]

They might just be rare because I have some of those and I've never traded for hull linkages.

[terse kestrel]

Yay or nay?

[random zinc]

don't get it

[terse kestrel]

😂

I have another open hab on the other side of the bottom row at 90°. So it's a mini Corvette with more storage potential

Like the sideways rockhoppers. Just need to find a better way to mount them

[random zinc]

and I think it's yea or nay

[terse kestrel]

From the back 😁

From the side 😬

[random zinc]

lol, I'm not qualified to help

I just try both options out and attempt to decide what I like better

Right now I'm debating whether I like the clear decal-free look or if it would look nicer with various decals on the outside of the ship

It'd be nice if my banner (personal identification) were a decal

[strong bronze]

Do you have a screenshot of this? Because it seems to be a problem shared by many, so it really surprises me.

[random zinc]

I won't be able to grab a screenshot for a few hours

but I can't prove that I didn't trade for them

(I didn't take screen grabs when I unearthed them)

[terse kestrel]

They are visually there in the build menu but they are not unlocked in the game files. Only accessible through creative or free crafting

Why? No clue.

[strong bronze]

Yes, but if you tell me you found them, I'll believe you if you're sure! What kind of person would do that otherwise?

[terse kestrel]

It's been many updates and patches since they showed up in which they've been locked. So it's not by accident. They're doing it for a reason

[random zinc]

oh so they may no longer be findable?

[random zinc]

I'll grab a screenshot in a few hours

[past atlas]

this turns out to be better than my imagination

and, air purifier saves the life

[random zinc]

too big for my taste, but it looks great

Can you rotate the air purifer to snap horizontally on the door end of a hab?

[past atlas]

if only they make the limit longer, i can make my ship long

[past atlas]

oh yeah nice idea

ill try it

[random zinc]

it wasn't a suggestion. it was a question 🙂

[strong bronze]

That seems the most logical explanation to me, and it is indeed strange, just like those who claim to have found some. I'll wait and see, and I'll continue searching.

[past atlas]

yes you can

[past atlas]

my bad 😄

[random zinc]

what do you press to do that?

they always snap vertically for me

[past atlas]

just put it on the side of the hab and it snap automatically

[random zinc]

I think we're having a communication failure, but I don't know how better to describe my question 🙂

[past atlas]

i think i ever watch some youtuber told you to go to the edit mode on player mode (the one you usually use to edit the interior) and change the snap there

but i dont know if that will work or no for you

[past atlas]

its okay i think i understand cause its happened to me recently but not on the hab

[random zinc]

basically, when I put the air purifier on the end of a hab, it snaps in a vertical orientation such that it protrudes above and below the hab. On the side of a hab, it snaps in a horizontal orientation so there is no protrusion. I want it to be in the horizontal orientation on the end of a hab. 🙂

clear as mud, I'm sure

I can't seem to reposition this kind of part using that interior editing mode

[terse kestrel]

Yeah I see what you mean. I can't get it to snap sideways like that at the end of a hab either. Like the air vents and other parts that automatically place horizontal. Or required to be on one of the sides

[random zinc]

yeah, some of those ducts and stuff could disguise the end of a hab nicely

my go-to these days to to disguise the end of a hab with a window

but that's not a look for everyone 🙂

I like using the "hamster cheek" windows because they actually give you more floor space

[past atlas]

how to fix this? 😄 im using mod to bypass the limit of the ship, cause its pass the limit by 50 parts

[upper quartz]

how to fix what exactly?

[random zinc]

what's "this"?
