[random zinc]

if you want to stop using the mod, the only way is to remove stuff

[terse kestrel]

I'm not seeing anything wrong here 👀

[past atlas]

oh yeah forgot to mention

my bad

only one side of the gun that shoot

the other didnt work

[terse kestrel]

So only one of the turrets you have on your Corvette is firing?

[past atlas]

last time i use the limit bypass mod, its work perfectly fine

[past atlas]

yeah

[past atlas]

🥲

#nms-modding

I don't use any of the Corvette mods. I would suggest asking there. They probably know better about mod bugs and fixes that are common

[past atlas]

alright thank you

[random zinc]

what version of the game are you running? Some of the 6.x versions had this as a bug unrelated to mods

[past atlas]

I dont know, its the one from steam

Let me check it

[true kettle]

these can't be expanded?

[past atlas]

I forgot how to check the version of the game, on the steam, its last update is 7th november

[terse kestrel]

60 is the maximum number of ship tech slots you can unlock without modding

And that's fine for ships. Not for Corvettes

[true kettle]

how many can you do then?

for corvettes?

[terse kestrel]

The same. 60

But the difference between ships and Corvettes is ships come pre-equipped with five essential Tech.

Corvettes can have almost two dozen slots taken up by various Tech depending on what you use

[true kettle]

thanks

also is this for decoration or is it actually usable?

it's in the booster category

[terse kestrel]

Three medusa, three zenith, three phase beams, three boosters and three habs... You've used 15 of your Tech slots just building the essential parts of your ship

[random zinc]

if you hide a health station under it

[fervent mist]

i dont know

[true kettle]

Ohhh nice.. thanks i'll try this

[random zinc]

I think @terse kestrel gave me that idea

[terse kestrel]

You can also put a save point behind your bunk. Hidden once you place it. So you have to activate your bed to save

[true kettle]

neat lol

[rose hatch]

What is it i dont think ive seen that yet is it a cryo chamber

[terse kestrel]

There's that 😂

[true kettle]

medi bay

[terse kestrel]

Also

[random zinc]

This causes it to pop up over the bed and I didn't like that, so I removed the save point 🙂

[true kettle]

what.. how did you get it ?

[terse kestrel]

Can turn it into triage for sick proto gek 😂

[chilly valve]

wonder generator

[rose hatch]

So enclosed medbay

[chilly valve]

its basically a star wars bacta tank

but its not useable yet without mods

theres also an unreleased ship pre-fab that im quite a fan of

[terse kestrel]

Place something like a locker at the end of the hab next to the doorway. Attach a Wonder projector to it in the direction that your med Bay will be lined up with.

The Wonder projector will project into the med Bay once you place it. And you can remove whatever you used to place the Wonder projector on after you get it on there

[rose hatch]

Wtf How's this possible lol

[chilly valve]

wonder generator

lol

[random zinc]

Anyone know of a site where I can see how the different wall units look in the different hab classes?

[terse kestrel]

There is endless fun you can have with Wonder projectors. Turn them into crew, workforce etc

[chilly valve]

wonder projector is how i won the halloween corvette contest lol

[true kettle]

are the habs like really closed from the inside.. or is it just the ambassador

[terse kestrel]

Wonder projector band

[rose hatch]

Companions in medbay

[terse kestrel]

They have so many uses

[wooden grail]

Imaginary friends 🥲

[random zinc]

much less annoying than that freighter worker that insisted on bumping me while I was placing decals

[rose hatch]

@terse kestrel what dies wonder projector look like again ?

[random zinc]

it looks like a little nozzle

[chilly valve]

you can do some great stuff with the wonder projector

[true kettle]

still have to unlock this.. dunno how though

[terse kestrel]

To free place it you will have to manually angle it. It won't snap itself sideways to attach itself to stuff

[chilly valve]

i think its at the anomaly

[terse kestrel]

Yeah decoration vendor. Middle kiosk on the left

[random zinc]

my problem is in wading through the miles of discoveries in that stupid list of systems I've seen (but not visited) on the galaxy map

[unreal tendon]

Ship parts count towards limit, I presume?

[true kettle]

and me who is just hoarding materials lol

[rose hatch]

Or that so how you make it work tbh building ive never gotten deeply into and I dont build i did go started something months back and was also going try something new but never did kind of sad so building in my world is currently not a thing

I got put off

[random zinc]

I think this game makes us all hoarders

[terse kestrel]

If they are cosmetic parts like wings and all plating they don't. But any of the parts that you place from that first page of the Corvette build menu do count against your 60 tech lots

[random zinc]

unless we have a lot of discipline

[rose hatch]

This what the stack mod is good for lol

[past atlas]

Lmao how did you do it?

[terse kestrel]

Look a bit under that picture for the how to

[past atlas]

Alright

[random zinc]

I'm trying to live without mods but that arrival screen is really starting to bug me

[terse kestrel]

I saw somebody use two Wonder projectors to put a couple proto grk in a rather spicy position in one of the bunks.

[rose hatch]

What you mean arrival screen ?

[terse kestrel]

When you start trying to mate proto gek you need to step away from nms for a bit

[rose hatch]

Naughty

[chilly valve]

something new

[random zinc]

the screen that shows when you arrive in a system that prevents you from interacting with stuff for 10 seconds

[rose hatch]

Lol you can skip that

[terse kestrel]

Yeah but that's a whole nother button I got to press 🥺

[random zinc]

now you just need something borrowed and something blue

[random zinc]

even that's starting to annoy me

[rose hatch]

I use xbox controller

[random zinc]

I might even be happy (for a while) if the button to skip was automatically held on arrival

[past atlas]

For me it just press the tab button to skip it

[chilly valve]

nah nah , we happily divorced out here not lookin for round 2

im married to my extreme vette building skills instead 😄

[spark iron]

Nice

[rose hatch]

Pressing Tab button is no where difficult lmfao

[true kettle]

i always do that.. except when the fireworks kick in when you upgrade your settlement

[random zinc]

difficult, no. annoying, yes

[true kettle]

makes me happy

[fair pilot]

Police on duty!

Need 'em more visible tho.

More lamps?

[chilly valve]

always more

[true kettle]

i put up lights too.. under my corvette

[rose hatch]

Idk why it be annoying lol so basically you want to beable to press any button to skip lol

[fair pilot]

I'll put on and under. Sad we can't make 'em blink

[true kettle]

cool stuff ngl

[chilly valve]

the ultimate cockpit hiding technique (yes i can see perfectly out of it)

[random zinc]

skipping those screens after upgrading a building just hides the screen, but doesn't speed anything up 🙂

[true kettle]

love the fireworks though

[random zinc]

no, I just want to auto skip the screen.

holding the button to skip for 3 seconds is annoying 🙂

[upper quartz]

stacking phase beams is OP apparently, how many tho?

[wooden grail]

Yes.

[stone shadow]

I think 6 is max

[upper quartz]

huh, after 3 it says that there's no benefit

[terse kestrel]

Though if you want a smaller Corvette you can get away with four or five. As long as you have strong S or X class phase beam mods to go with it

[stone shadow]

That's somewhat true, but another 3 will also boost damage (even tho game say limit is reached). They just won't show up in tech menu

[terse kestrel]

It doesn't increase your ship stats past 3.

But you're still adding more weapon platforms to your ship. And each one of those weapon will strike the enemy. Multiplying your damage

[wooden grail]

The phase beams don’t believe in shields

Shields aren’t real

They never were

[upper quartz]

got it thanks

[terse kestrel]

Hiding weapons inside small Corvettes is one of my favorite parts of them. You look unarmed but you're packing a death ray

[stone shadow]

Sometimes hiding them is impossible without glitch building tho (and I'm pretty bad with this)

[upper quartz]

ugh there's so many things the corvette builder still lacks, like actually being able to rotate parts in more trhan two directions

[terse kestrel]

Not at all. I really don't use any manipulation to do it. Really you just got to place a have somewhere to get it to attach. Then take the hab away.

Like you can put a half hab under one of your thicker wings. Attach the gun to that and then take away the hab. The gun will stay hidden inside the wing

[upper quartz]

or like, why can i put it on one side but not the other lmao 😭

[stone shadow]

Strange, you should be able to

[upper quartz]

well im not

[terse kestrel]

Yeah that's weird. Not sure why it's not attaching there

[sharp fox]

Curious how well this works with the Ambassador cockpit

[upper quartz]

is that sarcasm or can you actually see out of it?

[terse kestrel]

Build two long habs on the inside of the one it won't attach to. Sticking out one next to where you want to place that Wing unit.

Try to attach that unit to the side of that hab then remove the hab.

[chilly valve]

i can actually see out of it

[chilly valve]

probably not as well

[upper quartz]

yeah im finnicking around with that rn

[terse kestrel]

🐪 🦶🏻

[stone shadow]

Your field of view is highly limited tho

[terse kestrel]

Who needs good field of view when you got style? 😎

[stone shadow]

That's true. You can always use 3rd person camera view

[upper quartz]

finally

[terse kestrel]

Got it?

[upper quartz]

this editor so chopped

[sharp fox]

I mean, target highlights usually show through hull. Though a trek style view screen would be kind of dope in lieu of a glass cockpit.

[upper quartz]

but yes

the trick was clicking in the split second where it was green before it turned red because apparently it can't be placed there

[terse kestrel]

Sometimes you got to show the build system whose boss. Grab it by its neck and yell at it like Dolph lundgren

"I vill break you" 😑

[fair pilot]

More visible now.

WOOP WOOP

[sharp fox]

Run, it's the space cops!

[terse kestrel]

Hides nip nip

[sharp fox]

It's just gamma weed officer. Legal in all systems

[fair pilot]

Arresting the life ship for the misery of the 23h waiting till next part

Time to inspect the anomaly.

[spark iron]

Bruh why always there's so much black abuse

It's like, do you really don't wanna see your ship?

Is it that ugly?

[fair pilot]

all my ship are colorfull as fuck, this one is black on purpose

[spark iron]

I meant that one behind you as well

[fair pilot]

Ah, this... Iron?

[sharp fox]

For darker ships, I usually try to get it in the systems starlight or in atmo on the daylight side of the planet

[terse kestrel]

Because since the start of the game hello games artists preferred ships that were colorful, bright and lacking of many dark tones.

So with Corvette building and tricks that help you shift colors from bases and freighters to Corvettes people are able to get the darker ship colors they've been wanting for years. For the first time

A darker ship is also better for hiding its flaws and bulges. Like dark clothes having a slimming effect 😂

[spark iron]

Lmao

[spark iron]

Truth, like everyone crafting black ships and searching for black inteceptors

[noble glacier]

Hey
Can put any doors on walkway?

To outside of ship*

[spark iron]

If you put something infront of it it opens

[noble glacier]

Like what

[spark iron]

Like the Vesper difusors

Decorative pieces or joints

[noble glacier]

Alright ig

[random zinc]

I think it's because the other colors are too weird or too bland or not configurable enough

[spark iron]

I feel the configuration thing

[terse kestrel]

You mean like opening up the end of a hab without another hab attached?

[spark iron]

It's so limited

[random zinc]

I don't like black, but it's a real struggle not to use because the other combos are not to my taste

that said, my corvette is mostly blue and yellow

[terse kestrel]

I'm all about the pink teal and purple right now

[random zinc]

blue/yellow and yellow/brown are the most suited to my taste at the moment

[upper quartz]

wait wha how

[sharp fox]

I am not beating the edgelord allegations with my current colour scheme

[terse kestrel]

Edgy af bro

11/10

Post it on Reddit to make all the other Edge lords wet

[random zinc]

you can put stairs to the roof if there's nothing above the walkway

[sharp fox]

Need to finish the interior first.

[deep iron]

a UNSC Scholte-Class Missile class Corvette

(Built in Creative mode to plan out what i need in order to build it for the expedition)

[random zinc]

What's the best way to document my corvette's interior? screenshots?

[fervent mist]

thanks man
i searched for salvageable scrap and traded those for pyrodrive booster it was the correct one

[true kettle]

I have found 2 planets and i have got tons of parts and some missing... also I'm lazy lol to scourge the whole planet lol

[fervent mist]

lmao

[true kettle]

every like 400-1000u i have burried line up

and i don't go lol

[fervent mist]

I like to walk on the planet and collect those
dont like using corvette
just use corvette as storage

[true kettle]

Same, but sometime when it says 5 mins away.. i take the corvette.. still have to unlock the bike and other stuff

[fervent mist]

i see

bike one i guess that is with the early story line

[fair pilot]

My main corvette and my tough little corvette (relatiely) size comparison

Literally luxury space yacht (armed tho) vs utilitarian police vehicle.

[balmy cedar]

I can't credit for this one I built off a tutorial

It looks so nice tho

It probably also has the least mileage

[rose torrent]

Almost looks like the Unreliable

[balmy cedar]

It's named the Razor's Edge

[sharp fox]

Long ship squad

[balmy cedar]

Mando's ship from the Mandalorian

[low light]

Just when I thought I had gotten the hang of building corvettes and hiding hab units.... I notice the undersides are all flat and boring. 😮‍💨

[balmy cedar]

It's one of those, feels faster than it actually is ships

[balmy cedar]

That's the issue of rectangular base parts

[random zinc]

air purifiers

the duct looking thing is not bad there either

[raven rover]

😂

[random zinc]

I leave the area around the hatch relatively bare so I don't get stuck under the corvette

[raven rover]

air purifier goat

[random zinc]

the air under the corvette needs purification

actually I'm terrible at hiding habs, but in my current corvette there is an upside

[balmy cedar]

Every corvette needs at least one mysterious monolith

Those orange glowing pillars cured my mortality

[low light]

Has anyone built this corvette?

[hoary agate]

I dont think so

[fervent mist]

Let me try

[terse kestrel]

It's a leprechaun

[hasty quartz]

Any tips on Corvette building? Im mainly having trouble with placing my entrance

[terse kestrel]

I gave up trying to recreate it. Can come kind of close. But not close enough

[terse kestrel]

Access ramps can be attached to the end of habs. If you're trying to turn it around you have to rotate it so that it attaches to the other end.

[errant depot]

Is there any way to flip an internal stairway? Not rotate, flip

[low light]

The Corvette in this image is a good example of how to keep underside interesting... Just have a single Hab on ground level with the landing bay. And then start building upwards and outwards with inverted hulls

[low light]

Forgot the image

the Roach build takes that approach too

[fair pilot]

But you have to sacrifice ease of access to the landing bay for that

[random zinc]

I think the answer is no, but what are you trying to achieve?

[terse kestrel]

Not sure if anybody's told you yet but now that you have a Corvette you can find pieces so much faster. Because now you can mark them and farm them from the air.

Blasting them with a photon Cannon will collect them. Can gather up a ton of parts real fast that way

[random zinc]

My corvette conundrum is that I don't want to compromise what I consider primary functionality to make it look nicer.

[fervent mist]

yes I am doing that rn

[errant depot]

Idk how to explain it
But it would be so easy if I could just flip staircases

[fervent mist]

yeah I did that
and bougth some sufff
have go to that planet again where there is salvaged scraps with no sentinals

also I am new so I am not a pro builder

[random zinc]

unfortunately the photo is not helping me understand 🙁

[random zinc]

if you're shooting them with the corvette, sentinels won't bother you

[fervent mist]

i am doing on space
what about planet?

[random zinc]

yeah, on a planet, you don't need to leave your corvette to collect salvageable scrap

[fervent mist]

damn thats epic

[random zinc]

get out of the seat, use visor, lock onto a salvage container, get back in seat, fly to mark, shoot with photon cannon

[fervent mist]

now I can visit more risky planet

[random zinc]

rinse and repeat

[random zinc]

that's what @terse kestrel was suggesting

best to find a moon with a high resource stat

[fervent mist]

i see

[errant depot]

It’s hard to explain

[random zinc]

(also advice from @terse kestrel )

[errant depot]

I think the shortest way to explain it is I am trying to open up 3 walkways of different 90 degree rotations in the same space

[dim storm]

Is there a time limit on storing parts in the "Corvette Workshop Cache" or is the reminder message just annoying?

[hoary agate]

160 slots. 100 cap stack per part?

[dim storm]

A better question may be; Has anyone lost corvette parts in the Workshop Cache, like refiners and processers do.

[random zinc]

the reminder message is just annoying

[random zinc]

I thought it was 500 but I don't trust my memory

[random zinc]

not sure how flipping will help, but nevertheless think the answer is no

[errant depot]

Flipping the staircase here would unblock the hole and allow entry

[random zinc]

like into the hab?

so the opening is on the bottom of the stairway?

[errant depot]

Like taking the red and moving it to the green but keeping the hole on the same side

[random zinc]

I don't think I have, but I have so many parts now that I wouldn't notice if only some disappeared

[dim storm]

Moving all these corvette parts around is becoming a pain. I am worried I'll loose my collection of corvette parts. Thanks for the reply.

[random zinc]

yeah, I just dump them in the cache

[dim storm]

Swweeeet!

[random zinc]

if you stand next to the cache and go into the inventory, you can even directly transfer from the ship inventory directly into the cache

[dim storm]

Like with ExoCraft?

[random zinc]

ok, I get what you want. I want this too for other reasons (symmetry) and am sure the answer is no

[random zinc]

not exactly, you press the quick transfer button, and the cache will be a choice in the menu

[terse kestrel]

The placement of that ladder is pretty static like that. You're not able to manipulate where the hole is in connection to the snap point or the ladder

[random zinc]

you can kinda make a spiral-ish stairway though

[dim storm]

The ability to turn the ladder to a port & starboard access from fore & aft would be handy.

[random zinc]

yeah, this is what I wish were possible for symmetry

so that the stairs are farther from the things I installed into the wall, symmetrically, on both sides of the ship

[dim storm]

Real Ship ladders are fore and aft for safety reasons.

[random zinc]

well that's another thing... I wish we had ladders

[dim storm]

Splitting the to the bulkheads wound be awesome.

[random zinc]

I'd be happy to put ladders fore and aft for safety reasons

[dim storm]

Navy Ladders are stairs

[random zinc]

If we're wishing for stuff, I wish we could install wall stuff on all four walls and not just port/starboard walls

[dim storm]

Starship and Exo-Craft inventory tabs

[random zinc]

but I'll take a cockpit with virtual canopy before that 🙂

[errant depot]

That’s why I’ve been merging walkways

[chilly valve]

im just excited to see the laughs people are gonna get from the pre-fab that hasnt been released yet

[errant depot]

If that’s all you wanna do just get a thunderbird loading bay + a sideways hab and you’re pretty much golden to build out as much as you want

[random zinc]

the 90° rotations are too janky for me

weird stuff happen in flight

[dim storm]

I stick to the snap for stability.

[long pawn]

That's cool! Never thought of that.

[random zinc]

especially when I bump things

like trees

[errant depot]

I just use a setup like this and fiddle with it until it looks right

I use the wedges to line up my player like how the regular tutorials use the zenith reactors for 45 degree turns

[random zinc]

it's not about looks, it's about how it affects the way the corvette flies

[errant depot]

I haven’t been flying them around much, but I haven’t noticed anything?

[random zinc]

do you accidentally bump trees and stuff?

[night cypress]

Anyone who understands tech slots mind helping me? I had a manoeuvrability of ~3400 last night and when I logged on this morning its only been 2420. idk what I did to make it drop by 1000 but no matter how I arrange these parts I cant get it close to where it was....

[random zinc]

I got stuck in a tree after bumping it and then bounced around until I died... a few times... until I removed the 90° rotated parts

[random zinc]

I think this is a display bug

go into the workshop and exit and it'll probably correct itself

anecdotally it only appears to affect the numbers and not the performance of the corvette

[night cypress]

Oh! thank you! I was scratching my head at that one. didnt realize it was just a simple display thing. Much appreciated.

[random zinc]

one glitch that I've been strongly tempted to use is the one that lets you put a planetary scanner into the corvette

through cache pinning

I haven't given in to this temptation yet

[fair pilot]

Anyone managed to slot the internal parts into the thunderbird landing bay?

I guess I need free placement and 1st person glitches for that...

[random zinc]

like the medi-bay?

[long pawn]

Wait! Wait! You can have six phase beams??? I thought we were limited to three turrets on weapons. I'm going to have to do some re-editing on my corvettes... 🤔

Man, I'd love to be able to do this with torpedoes. They're so underpowered. Being able to fire six instead of three would help improve them.

[errant depot]

What???

[errant depot]

You can merge a sidways or backwards/forwards walkway (I’ve been rotating my thunderbird landing bays backwards because it’s nicer for some reason the flip button just doesn’t work on them) into the landing bay, then add a stairway below it

[random zinc]

you can use cache pinning to put a planetary scanner into the corvette

[random zinc]

supposedly it's just aesthetic after 3, but not with phase beams

[errant depot]

Is there some setup to use wire mode when editing a corvette? For me as soon as I look at a corvette or corvette part it just deletes wire mode completely

[random zinc]

the bullets come out of all weapon platforms, but they come out at the rate they're supposed to, phase beams don't have a rate, so all the gun platforms fire at once from all weapon platforms

[unreal tendon]

New design.
I've gave up my beloved turbines so I could enlarge structure and add cabins to sides of the ship.
It actually have so many functional parts that I need to ship expansion modules again.

[random zinc]

I could've sworn I saw Beeblebum use wire mode in a corvette, but don't trust my memory

[chilly valve]

looks like some kind of heavy-shuttle for troops

[unreal tendon]

Yeah, you're right.
Those engines in back add to it I think.

Though I wanted something to widen aft profile, or it would just look mirrored on both axes.

[errant depot]

Yeah I went to a base and as soon as I enter or look at my corvette any base part gets red stated and the option to enter wire mode disappears

[dapper widget]

My Penrose-623 (Its like Penrose-512 from Signalis game, but +1+1+1)

[errant depot]

Does the slide glitch only work on freighters or am I doing it wrong trying to use it ot build onto my corvette?

[fair pilot]

What? Slide?

[terse kestrel]

The wire mod glitch method in your base that Beeblebum used was patched out. Because like he said in his tutorials it was unstable, glitchy and prone to crashing your PC. If not breaking your save file completely.

This also removed the easy ability to set up vertical building in your base and then take that to the Corvette building menu

Some people have said they can still lay base parts on their Corvette at their base. Which is true. But I've yet to see a video of anybody successfully taking off and those base parts coming with them. Because now they just stay at your base and you fly away.

[errant depot]

The discussion kinda brushed past this but I would like to know what you were talking about here

[random zinc]

I guess you can no longer install the planetary scanner in a corvette then 🙂

[fair pilot]

I wish it was just a function of a radar dome.

[dim storm]

I miss being able to exit thru the paneled window.

[violet crest]

I wish i could get this to work

[errant depot]

I also just tried to do the cachepin glitch next to my corvette and instead of working it crashed the whole game

[chilly valve]

oh theres a pre-fab most people dont have access too yet

you have to load it in from the files but

its a toilet

[errant depot]

Oh

[chilly valve]

like a porta-potty that fits into the wall

i mean theres other stuff but i dont wanna spoil that stuff yet

its way too exciting

[errant depot]

Where did you acquire this information

[chilly valve]

my own datamining

coming the files for new models n stuff etc

[errant depot]

Then share because I wanna know

[chilly valve]

gleam might render me down to fat if i spoil too much

but ill let one slip , multi-crew cockpit/bridges

4 man

[fair pilot]

[errant depot]

I am but one man

[chilly valve]

right but if you felt like having friendos on board, all 3 of them will have a space to vibe in the cockpit , maybe even control turrets?

[terse kestrel]

Me.....with no friends...... protecting proto-gek into the open seats 😭

[chilly valve]

i mean f , just come crew my ship lol

battlecruiser with a solo pilot is crazy 😄

[terse kestrel]

I'll shoot the turret and you can tell me not to get cocky every couple minutes

[chilly valve]

exactly

i just need somebody screaming from engineering that they're "GIVEN ER ALL SHES GOT CAP'N"

[exotic spruce]

shame the thunderbird one is just the ambassador one but painted jet black.

[dim storm]

Tried shoving a hog dog up the warp drive but I've not got any mustard!

[chilly valve]

theres one thats cylindrical that looks like the kind you'd find on a train or a shuttle bus

[exotic spruce]

it looks great - though you can fall through the floor if you get too close to the wall part

the Titan one looks like a proper decontamination one (in my mind's eye)

[errant depot]

Activate planetary probe?

[exotic spruce]

ROFL oops

yeah that's from the turn mission radar mod that turns it into trading station, teleporter, planetary probe or just mission radar

[errant depot]

That’s disappointing… unless you’re lying

[errant depot]

[exotic spruce]

the only other mabassador hab I'm using was on the other side of the bulkhead

thunderbird habs are much more spacious for interior decorating - titan is ok but has a lot of weird angles

Besides the thunderbird nutrition chessboard is PERFECT for the Pocket Reality Generator.

[errant depot]

Upside-down?

[exotic spruce]

woah... wth is that? I've never noticed the ceiling offset chessboard before.

[errant depot]

Also does anyone know why the thunderbird landing bay has a flip button that just makes it so you can’t place it

[exotic spruce]

you can flip it forward face

[errant depot]

Yeah if you fenagle with rotated habs, but just hitting the flip button makes it disappear

[twin jay]

I still prefer ambassador ones, they look really elegant, thunderbird one has a lot of junk inside

[exotic spruce]

I do like the ambassador nutrition on for "grab some coffee as I head to the cockpit" - vibes

plus it feels like a proper meal prep area - the thunderbird nute is more of a comfy relax and play a game vibe that happens to have a slurpee machine 🙂

[errant depot]

Honestly I find the ambassador parts really hard to work with, especially when you want to use less space

And the ambassador refiner unit specifically messes up a lot with collision

[exotic spruce]

I didn't know about the ambassador refiner. That could explain some spinning problems I've had with other corvette builds

[errant depot]

I recreated something similar to this setup with an ambassador reactor and the act of walking forward resulted in getting stuck because I would walk up onto the refiner and glitch climb into a corner

[exotic spruce]

OMG yes! Me too - I just never connected that with the ambass refiner

[errant depot]

This problem does not occur with the titan and (presumably) the thunderbird refiner

Though I have ended up having to reformat some ideas because having a refiner or other module in the thunderbird loading bay in the wrong space teleports you inside of the module
-# (not the one above, that one just puts you in the cockpit area)

[fair pilot]

Fellow corvette builders, is it bright enough station?

[terse kestrel]

I've used nothing but ambassador Habs for lighting purposes and I've never had any collision issues or physics problems related to them or refiners

[errant depot]

Go walk into a refiner right now

[terse kestrel]

Oh were you step back into a refiner and get stuck? Thought you were meaning during flight.

I've had that happen once. I just deleted the refiner and replaced it

That's what I like about many of the ambassador pieces because graphically they stick out further. Less physical assets. So you can put more stuff behind them.

[errant depot]

This is a normal hab, nothing fancy going on, and all I did was hold forward into a refiner.

Had to delete it to get out

[terse kestrel]

Yeah I don't make a habit of trying to make out with my refiner so I don't have that happen much 😂

It looks like an autophage is trying to procreate with a refiner....

[errant depot]

It was nonconsensual

[terse kestrel]

I think you're getting scrapped there buddy...

[wooden grail]

Why procreate with the refiner when the autophage can just become the refiner? :)

[terse kestrel]

That refiner was manufactured by gek and it's trying to turn you into nanites 😭

[wooden grail]

Gotta bring out the good old ||korvax wood chipper from the Gek empire days||

[cloud vessel]

oh god

[errant depot]

Also, just comparing the two refiners
The difference in space is kinda negligible

[terse kestrel]

Scrap next to high class 👀

[wooden grail]

The ambassador one doesn’t even look like a refiner tbh

[twin jay]

I am thinking of changing some of the ambassador hubs to thunderbird ones, they will fit better some parts of my corvette

[terse kestrel]

If it wasn't for the lighting potential I might change. But the natural colors of the other hab just override a lot of the lighting you try to put in place

[errant depot]

The worst part is I do really like the look of the ambassador parts, but they just do not lend themselves to unorthodox/glitch building techniques at all
Doors you get stuck in, modules you get stuck in, even the cockpit shape makes it worse for glitching

[twin jay]

yeah, ambassador hubs in my corvette are often glitchy in bad way, I am thinking of changing them

[errant depot]

Even the walls take up more space than any other hab 😔

[twin jay]

yeah sadly

but they also look so cool and elegant at the same time

[errant depot]

Even when making things like this, merging a thunderbird or titan has no issuees with the doors (they line up with both habs so the door opens up properly), but as soon as an ambassador is in the mix the doors get noticeably janky

[terse kestrel]

Now I'm wondering if we're calling these different things because I don't have nearly the issues with ambassador Habs that your listing here 😂

Cockpits I can agree on. Those look too ass from the outside to use.

[twin jay]

the only good way of making doors in ambassador habs is by using carpets lol

[terse kestrel]

I put carpets everywhere

If I got a spot there's probably a poster on the ground 😂

[exotic spruce]

if only the drapes could be color changed

[sharp fox]

Colouring the interior of hab units would be fantastic.

[errant depot]

Hmm, maybe the door thing was temporary, can’t seem to recreate it

[twin jay]

I made doors in my corvette this way, you can simply walk trough that thing, it doesnt have any collision

[errant depot]

Why do you have… floorboards…

[wanton river]

Possibly dumb question. Where's the best place to find parts for corvette?

[exotic spruce]

hides wires on thunderbird, plus looks classy

[cloud vessel]

find a planet tagged with salvagable scrap

[errant depot]

But that’s illegal

[exotic spruce]

so's my gek nip crime empire

[cloud vessel]

also you can have ur corvette on autopilot, scan for salvage containers and shoot them with ur corvette to get the parts

[stone shadow]

Finally, I managed to find a place for 3 additional phase beams! I were able to place 2 of them inside the side engines and the third one is sitting under the corvette (still looks good)

[wanton river]

All the planets I've found have had 1 or 2 every couple thousand units. Just bad luck?

[stone shadow]

Bad luck, they can spawn more or less frequently.

[exotic spruce]

also added holodoors to my thunderbird landing bay because we need interior doors. Might see about wiring up the solid door instead using a prox switch

[wanton river]

Well then ill just have to keep searching.

[stone shadow]

One question: How? Mods? or glitches?

[exotic spruce]

Beyond Bases mod

[exotic spruce]

how do you get the darn thing to hang - when I try it I can only offset it and never center the tapestry

[terse kestrel]

Been hunting for things like salvage scrap, curious deposit and fossils avoid planets. Especially the large ones. The resource pool will be spread across too far of an area. 900u+ between resource points.

Find a nice small Moon with whatever you are looking for. Smaller geography causes lootable sources to be placed much closer together. Often just 200-300u apart

I have no clue why it loaded that video in there .... I didn't even select media

[fair pilot]

Yesterday chonky boy inspired me to make something similar with the shape of my main corvette.

Shortened and flattened

Result - nice mercenary ship, imo

[hard fjord]

HG needs to unlock arcadia wings in any orientation already. No point in having to glitch it when we mostly use it in the unintended orientation...
Nice work.

[twin jay]

I placed some other object in the door first and then placed tapestry on it

[exotic spruce]

Worked like a charm @twin jay thank you!

[hard fjord]

Clever. Always wondered how to do that.

Damn, I'd like to have storage packed this way too, instead of what we have. But as non-mod-user I have to wait for a move from HG 😄

[long pawn]

Very nice!

[fair pilot]

Is it Star-Wars-ish?

[long pawn]

Hmmm... no. To be Star Wars-ish your corvette needs to look a little bit more used and have a greeble texture.

Providing two links for reference.

https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/01/22/collecting-and-casting-greeblies-aka-universal-science-fiction-texture-starwars-smugglerroom/

and

https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3fb1w3/til_that_greeble_is_the_name_given_to_the_texture/

Add some rust and throw on things like the air purifier for a more complex, less smooth surface to your ship. ((That's assuming you were going for a Star Wars look))

The irony is that we perceive a spaceship with greeblies as more realistic when the fact of the matter is a real spaceship would need to be smooth to avoid unnecessary damage from micrometeorites and whatnot.

[spark iron]

Finally I can start getting upgrade modules

[fair pilot]

@strong bronze wait you've got your corvette to be memorized in the expedition?

[spark iron]

It's such a shame cloth-like decos can't change color

[fair pilot]

[strong bronze]

No, my screenshot of a corvette that I had fun making based on the arcadia wreck was shared by Hello Games on their website, to be precise.

[fair pilot]

Ah makes sense

Yet I wish they'd notice my 'vette too 😄

[terse kestrel]

I want to take the ancient ruin Vette into expedition but I don't wanna jack people up 😂

It's just fine in small groups.

[fair pilot]

I need slightly more open space on my corvette. Otherwise it's good for 4.

It is kinda fun that I'm feeling that something is wrong with my corvette without even checkin the tech.

Like, it's instantly understandable that game fucked my tech order again

[twilit marlin]

Got my corvette to do 436 across the planet surface... I'm pretty stoked with that 🤣

[fair pilot]

giggles

The only way I've could take a screenshot because windows is bullshit

[sand totem]

just built my first corvette. She aint much but damnnnnnnnn is that cool.

[fair pilot]

Show it!

[sand totem]

Big Elite Dangerous fan so this was a nice element to play with.

Ahhh man she aint much but she also suck shaha

[fair pilot]

FRONTIER GIVE US SHIP INTERIORS FINALLY

It's fine, we all had the first corvette 😄

I've made non-sucking one like from 5th try.

[sand totem]

Nah it's alright just all the stock stuff from the fist 'mission'

I actually would but sadly switched my game of for bed time. Maybe I suck. AHAHA.

[sand totem]

Wait, what

[fair pilot]

What, I want ship interiors in elite.

[sand totem]

ahhh man I nearly lost it.

hahaha

Read that wrong, thank goodnes, I nearly uninstalled No man's Sky for a second.

[fair pilot]

Or actually moving space in NMS, optionally.

[sand totem]

For me, I'd absolutely go interiors on Elite. Woooosh, that would be nice. Nightmare with ships like the Pather Clipper MKII etc.

Would be so cool though, even if they had a corridor or something that walked you to the cockpit. Love the game though.

[twilit marlin]

I feel like that's too fast LoL

[fair pilot]

Indeed. Game is not really loads surrounding on that speed, only the major objects.

[terse kestrel]

No shame here

Look at it! It's so hideous 😂

Though this part is nice.

Two of those round pieces on the side fill in the gap between two offset habs perfectly

[sand totem]

random question, can people just be aboard when you are flying it? Friends etc

[terse kestrel]

I want my AI controlled on board computer with voice overlays in NMS

[terse kestrel]

Yes. You can also be kidnapped from the anomaly while you're AFK. So be careful 😂

[sand totem]

Outrageous

On that wonderful note I'm going bed, night o7

[chilly valve]

i give up , i just cant seem to build anything i like more then my two big corvettes lol

just not feelin the vibe

[terse kestrel]

I approach a new Corvette as doing the opposite of what I've done on every other

[chilly valve]

nah man ive tried that too but my brain looks at it and says "but does it beat this"

think ive peaked honestly lol

[nimble stirrup]

that screenshot is trippy

[chilly valve]

the perspective is so off lmao

looks like its the size of a moon

[nimble stirrup]

yeah

that's so cool though

[chilly valve]

yeah i love that photo so much

[terse kestrel]

No you haven't. Just look at what all you have built and think of something that's completely out of that box.

Like I have no rhyme or reason or uniformity to what I build. And try to make sure I don't build near the same thing twice

[chilly valve]

thats how i ended up with this , they're vastly different in design

[terse kestrel]

As good as you are at base building I'm sure you can come up with some more various Corvette builds

[chilly valve]

i mean i've built 106 of them

lol

this was the 105th

[terse kestrel]

Forget everything I've said

You have a problem Pablo

There's help if you ask.

Sarah McLachlan intensifies

[chilly valve]

LOL

ive slowed down , theres only so much i can do until they add the new parts

which prob wont be till the newyear

man im serious this was bad

HG handed me crack

[pseudo forge]

They had lots of crack bags to hand out. I took 4.

still one of my best

Not quite on par with some yours but this one has grown on me quite a bit. The way the lines meet up, it just flows really well.

[chilly valve]

wdym not on par? that looks excellent

[pseudo forge]

Yours seem much more complex.

[chilly valve]

they are but thats because im using mods that allow me to bypass those limits

my smaller stuff is more ...realistic

at the end of the day its not a competition , ive borrowed so many ideas from the other builds in here

[pseudo forge]

Here's one straight vanilla build. Probably the design I like the most that I have made so far.

[chilly valve]

thats badass

its got meat to it , i like it

[terse kestrel]

I plagiarize. No shame.

I'm taking that blue one of yours, painting purple and posting it on Reddit for the updoots

[lean spire]

have we figured out how to eliminate a corvette?

[chilly valve]

LOL like you're changing the photo or building your own?

[chilly valve]

you can sell it to an NPC

like swap it for their ship

[lean spire]

Hashaa that is terribl;e

[terse kestrel]

I really like that. Nice angles and coloring

[chilly valve]

it works 🤷‍♂️

i actually loved this design too , this thing was ...thicc

9 decks

26 habs

[lean spire]

thank you tho

[fair pilot]

that was offensive kinda. What "peaked" for you is not "peaked" for others, ya know.

[fair pilot]

the best corvette is the one that fits into 100 parts limit and yet you love it xD

[chilly valve]

yeah it was like ...the ultimate flex of my platework knowledge thrown into one ship

[terse kestrel]

Um....I was telling him he hadn't peaked yet. I was saying he can still find ways to be creative.

Pablo were you offended by what I said?

[fair pilot]

I mean, you said "no, you not peaked" and threw in a bunch of screenshots - easy to misunderstand.

[chilly valve]

yeah its all good lol

[terse kestrel]

Wow .....I'm out. Later

[chilly valve]

we all share and try to encourage here

[fair pilot]

Not meant to offend you either, just wanted to add some clearance 🙇‍♂️

[glass surge]

any screenshots posted in here with the bad anti aliasing stair stepping will always look horrible to me even in the design is good or great.

[fair pilot]

Not everyone has super-duper-uber-mega-giga-PC 🙁

[glass surge]

it's not even that having a super duper mega PC it's the setting in NMS and the fact that photomode still doesn't work right

[chilly valve]

crazy how i turned this

into this

[fair pilot]

Who hurt you, man? 😄

(ship is badass tho)

[chilly valve]

no hes right tho , i mean its a weird stance to take but

the screenshot mode in the game is shit

on PC you def should snipping tool or use steams f12

[glass surge]

when i do a photo shot of a corvette for presentation I crank my settings up, enable steam compression less mode and always use F12. I only use the NMS photomode in game for mission or expedition requirements.

Outside of that it's always f12

[chilly valve]

right but your average user probably isnt gonna do that

[fair pilot]

You mean photomode LMB click, or photomode in general?

You have to disable the UI somehow, I mean.

And I'm just alt+prtscr usually xD

[glass surge]

LMB click is generally the worst in my experience

I can't even look at old corvette shots without cringing

[wooden parcel]

Is indigohaze that built Vader flagship in this server?

[glass surge]

no idea who that is and they might not even go by that name on Discord

You can always use the search feature top right to try and find posts and such by user names pretty sure.

Yeah, she keeps impressing me.

I kinda wish my corvette had headlights

[mild robin]

Saw at the Anomaly in Euclid about 20 min ago.... If you're here let me know, I have questions on the build....

[worthy mica]

my concern on how that fits inside space stations grows

it looks whimsical and I love it

[past atlas]

if i finalize my corvette already, am i still able to reroll the supercharged slot if im not getting what i wanted?

[spark iron]

Mods
That thing is way beyond legal

[floral berry]

Sometimes you forget how big the corvettes actually are(at least I do)

[glass surge]

You're not able reroll supercharged slots once you've finalized a corvette only on creation and by doing the create it quick, go upgrade it viva nanites, and then check it and see if you need to reload a autosave.

if you need a video covering the method then i'd suggest this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ily8CW1BQ5E

If you're on PC i'd also suggest backing up your save files just in case you get stuck with a bad corvette roll you don't like

[past atlas]

thank you

[floral berry]

Wat

[random zinc]

wow, I teleported to my base... no corvette to be found. that's a first

[past atlas]

how do i transfer my corvette to my main save?

[raven rover]

You on expedition?

Started from main save or made a new save

If new save, you cant

If from main save, go to the expedition terminal after you completed the expedition

And you can copy over your ship

[past atlas]

no, its from my second save to main save

[past atlas]

oh man

well i guess i have to grind for it

[shadow wraith]

If you really want to, you can just save edit that corvette to the main save

[past atlas]

how to do it?

Start expedition with the save that has the ship you want to transfer

Copy that ship into expedition. Finish expedition.

Copy Corvette by claiming rewards and items from expedition in your main save.

[past atlas]

alright thank you

[raven rover]

Wait you can do that?

Thats good to know

[terse kestrel]

It's like duping your Corvette but you don't need to change anything. Since it's from save to save and not the same one

[solemn tendon]

does canon placement matters for corvette?

corvette rank scales with qaulity of part i used to build it?

[unreal tendon]

A bit, shots won't come from core of ship but from turrets.
No effect on long range, but in knife-fighting you'll notice them offset.

[solemn tendon]

kk

i wont be using it since its c rank and not enough module slots

[unreal tendon]

Also, rank is independent on parts, corvette starts as c-class and you need to invest nanites at ship upgrade station.

[jade ginkgo]

heres this corvette i built its really simple but i am proud of it

[solemn tendon]

oh ty

[jade ginkgo]

mann i cant wait to be able to get the atlas parts on december

[hoary agate]

Corvette parts are giftable. ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[jade ginkgo]

i have no access to online i play on ps4 without psplus

😓😓

[hoary agate]

Oh

[weary folio]

Anyone know what the maximum number of light sources are you can have internally, in a corvette, without causing lights in stations to go out?

Lights on inside Corvette:

lights go out inside Station when looking in direction of Corvette:

well, really what is happening is the emission stops, as there's no surface illumination inherited and reflection

[haughty nebula]

How do you get those parts

[unreal tendon]

Their blueprints are reward for finishing Breach expedition.

So, if you missed Breach and still want Aerons, you'll have to wait till December for redux

[haughty nebula]

Oh dang

[unreal tendon]

Good thing is that once you have them, you can craft them.

[proper cairn]

Craft?

Like buying it?

[haughty nebula]

Yea is thare like a way for some who has them to share them with you

[proper cairn]

Really Wanna see what it look like from first person view when piloting it

[unreal tendon]

Normal corvette parts needs to be found or traded, but Aeron can be made from things like atlantideum

[haughty nebula]

If some one has the plans can they make them for someone?

[swift mist]

yes

[haughty nebula]

Oh

I found out that you can mine your own storage containers as "cargo pods," for the same effects of doing the same to a freighter (faction standing, sentinel attention, loot)

[glass surge]

Yeah i did that once and the shelf blew up and i had to rebuild it; The items inside were not harmed

[solemn tendon]

Should I use the least parts possible for corvette to be able to place more basic S class modules. (My current Ship uses 31 slots.) And maybe add more parts when I get more slots?

[past atlas]

i just remember something, i already did the expedition 😄 so i have to wait till next expedition?

[past atlas]

the ship be like: naaaah thats too much, im out of here

[steel sigil]

Hey travelers, I was wondering if you can go straight to crafting a corvette in creative mode and do you get access to all the parts?

[glass surge]

You can do that but you'll still have to do the starting parts of NMS to get to at least the Anomaly; parts you'll have access to 99% of the parts but Aeron / Atlas parts are locked behind the Breach expedition so if you don't have that doen you can't use them at least untill unlocking them in the Breach Redux later this year

[past atlas]

By the way, where did you found that guy?

[clear plaza]

Anyone have designs which uses all the reactors available to optimal config for stats and doesnt look like a jumbled mess

[random zinc]

No, because I need the tech slots for other things

[clear plaza]

i dont really need weapons on minei just want fastest movement speed and enough jump range for exploring the galaxies

[random zinc]

I was wrong. I'm missing the exact parts that you show are greyed out. Apologies.

[strong bronze]

No worries, thanks for your reply, that's honest of you.

[trail jacinth]

@strong bronze hi

[fair pilot]

Totally up to you. Keep in mind that corvette parts are stacking with S/X mods too, giving even MORE stats.
But you have to sacrifice versatility. For example, keep only a single weapon type.
My corvettes has x3 of all 3 of moving-related reactors (total 9), 3 accounted hubs, 3 engines, 3 guns, 2 to 3 landing gears. I'm not using Ceto generators. I'm using shield generators only if I think that this corvette can be slower, otherwise I'm filling space with trails and figurines.

[pseudo shore]

I'm getting better at building a Corvette

[strong bronze]

[velvet ruin]

Not the hijacking 😭

[terse kestrel]

Sick cloaking device you equiped there. Where can I get one?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah if you already did it you got to wait for the next one. But pretty sure there's going to be another one right after the current one. Due to the Redux cycle

[shadow wraith]

Wait, is this the same guy above

Was just doing the expedition lmao

[terse kestrel]

Okay that's got to be pretty weird if the person you randomly ran into somewhere in space is somebody that's currently on discord 😂

Oooohhhh

So which one of you is stalking the other?

[shadow wraith]

I just hopped on, so yea

It's just a funny cameo for me

Was just curious since they mentioned that they already finished it

looks very good !

[shadow wraith]

Corvettes really do be helpful

[golden tundra]

Beachhead update seems to have made corvette build worse, I tried to replicate mine on the expedition save, the parts no longer fit as they once did and I found a massive bug deleting parts.

I noticed parts disappearing out of the blue, any deleted part goes to the exosuit instead of the cache, if you have no exosuit space left, the parts go to the void.

I was like WTF did that go? It gets permanently deleted. Why not make them go to the cache instead?! 🤦

Oh the same apply to swapping parts, I traded all the reactors and you name it, new save have not many exosuit free slots, well, all the parts traded went to the void, completely deleted 🙃

[terse kestrel]

Somebody posted a video of the Corvette they were building earlier just vanishing during build mode. Lost all their parts too

Back up your saves before building until next updates or patches. Weird stuff is going on

[glass surge]

I didn't have any problems during the expedition because i didn't take my corvette in but when i got out most of my cargo modules were gone along with the save point and red pill lights i had put it

[terse kestrel]

Were you trying to dupe it by changing parts and changing its name? We may be seeing efforts by HG to prevent that

[glass surge]

Nope not duping at all

[balmy cedar]

I've never had those issues

Huh

Is this a PC thing that I just cannot be effected by?

[shadow wraith]

They don't go into the spaceship inventory?

The only issue I have is the constant crashes when trying the 2nd cockpit glitch

(Though it might also be Proton being a janky mess in its own, on top of the jank that is Wine that's improved the jank company Valve)

[terse kestrel]

Kind of hitting the nail on the head there. Most of these Corvette disappearance issues I'm seeing are on the PC side. Doesn't look to be hitting PlayStation and Xbox users nearly as bad

It also raises a question what mods they may be using on the side that they maybe don't want to disclose 👀

Not being honest about that stuff always makes troubleshooting difficult and a waste of people's time

[warm breach]

do yall think i can make it rounder?

[stable onyx]

you can use a certain glitch to have fun and place parts whereever u please

[fossil prairie]

i hate that cockpit so much lol

[jade viper]

guys why does my ship have an orbital laser

[random zinc]

because you are one with Atlas?

[fossil prairie]

yesterday I copied my corvette to the expedition, and it re arranged ny technology, was a pain to put it back in order and also mess with my corvette in the original save too, beside that, all good so far

[shadow wraith]

Aight, finally finished this expedition (not that I need to since I already cleared it before)

[stable onyx]

Took me around a day to make this beauty work.

[shadow wraith]

Still getting random crashes, which is odd

[stable onyx]

That's my example of using a fine - glitch trick to make this kind of corvette.

[warm breach]

thats what i used

[terse kestrel]

All platforms are experiencing random crashes, force closes and other similar bugs. These Corvettes have really done a number on the game as far as general stability.

I don't think it's been this bad since the Origins update. That broke the game in so many ways. Went on for many months after it dropped

[stable onyx]

Are u using the Ducting Outlet glitch? It could help you by a lot

[warm breach]

damn thats unlucky, i accidentally duped my corvette, now i have 2 maxed stat corvettes

[shadow wraith]

No, I meant like it's only happening now, which is why I find it odd

Solely while doing edits on my corvette

[warm breach]

i used all the glitches

the problem is making it more round loses some upgrades

[jade viper]

the what? do you mean offgrid or is there something else

[warm breach]

like engines

[stable onyx]

well using Rockhopper module and the Ducting Outlet glitches. Will make sure to have free-placement of almost anything.

[terse kestrel]

Offsetting, rotating, access ramp meshing and free window placement to build at any angle..... Beyond mods there's not a whole lot else we can do

Just doing a 90° turn on part of your ship to build off of opens up a lot of options

[warm breach]

i also used the 2 wide multi glitch

so i have 10 phase beams and 4 infra knifes in 1 grid slot

[stable onyx]

That could help to. Never used it myself since i didn't find a reason yet ot use it

[warm breach]

phase beam increases damage even when at 3+

[terse kestrel]

Super simple window placement for 90° building. It places it a half slot up, half offset. So you can offset it to drag it back into normal place if needed

Just line up the center of your cockpit with the yellow line on the space station to center yourself perfectly.

[fair pilot]

Hey, someone punched through you corvette with a giant rectangular metal rod

[warm breach]

thats a whole building

[olive tide]

There's any guide about Corvette building?

[stable onyx]

By best advice is to use some certain corvette builds people have uploaded on youtube and from there you will learn how to build one on your own

best to build first one they are showing on the guide so you can feel the tools and how to do it yourself

[random zinc]

I would extend that to avoid the glitch builds for your first build

[olive tide]

Thanks all, I build a couple during the expeditions, but it really was "stuck stuff together when they gave pieces to me" also, not sure, but I have to buy/trade the components prior, right? Can't craft them or buy then while I assemble?

[abstract crow]

Just go absolutely crazy on your first build. Balls to the wall, all glitches, throw random things everywhere. No mercy, no thinking. Just build.

[velvet ruin]

Switching to creative mode to build corvettes for fun or experiment without needing to farm parts is also an option

[warm breach]

or just make a new save

[velvet ruin]

That too

[stable onyx]

agree, never be afraid to build. even if u fail that's ok. all part of the fun is the progression of "test and error"

[terse kestrel]

The major majority of parts are aesthetic and real grind of Corvettes come from opening up all their slots and raising up their classes.

I view the cosmetic parts like skins. And I hate grinding for skins. So I just cheese those. Because I don't want my creativity to be sidelined because I haven't grinded enough

[fair pilot]

Well, there are some guides of "build the specific corvette" type. But I'd check only the offset/180 hub rotating guides and go from there.

[olive tide]

I have build the NMS equivalent of a Fiat Panda so far

[glass surge]

at least it's not a Dacia Sandero corvette

[olive tide]

Not exactly proud of the result

[balmy cedar]

Top gear reference?

Remember, they all hate the Mini Countryman

[stable onyx]

majestic corvette

[balmy cedar]

Thx

I changed the colours so that pic is outta date sadly

Colour corrected to make it the Sr2 normandy rocking the Sr1 paintjob

[olive tide]

I mean, the Panda (At least the old model) is a reliabe transportation, just very ugly

[quick gyro]

Still waiting for Multiplayer/Crew functions

[balmy cedar]

Wdym?

Oh

[velvet ruin]

Yeah exactly. I dont wanna be cooking fire on my Corvette only to realizing I'm missing like 2 parts and have to go hunt them down. Same for base building tbh, I always set crafting to free when building because I just have fun building but not grinding all the materials for something (especially when I am making something new and don't know how much stuff I'm gonna need)

[balmy cedar]

Like a true crewed ship?

[quick gyro]

Yeah

[balmy cedar]

Navigator and all that?

Neato

Sounds like a killer idea

I myself would probably stick to solo-play

I had a thought

All these save edited/modded corvettes on PC are deleting themselves... Hmmm

[quick gyro]

I've been playing solo for a while, it's pretty nice but it gets quite lonely without friends to play with

[balmy cedar]

True that

But I lack friends

[quick gyro]

Wanna be friends?

[balmy cedar]

Maybe

[balmy cedar]

Why not?

🗿

[wooden grail]

And on this day…

History was made

[weary folio]

Anyone figure out how to wire glitch on the inside of a corvette, yet?

[balmy cedar]

I'd kill to make a better boat-esque corvette

[olive tide]

Ship slots upgrades work for the corvettes? Or I just need hab modules?

[balmy cedar]

Yes

Ship slot upgrades work on corvettes

So do normal ship class upgrades

Part ranks mean nothing

[olive tide]

and once installed them, they remain even if I change the corvette modules, right?

I mean the extra slots

[hardy oracle]

Slots granted by the hab modules are temporary, but the ones you buy with units or augments are permanent

[weary folio]

Beyond Base Building

[balmy cedar]

All vanilla too

No glitches

[fair pilot]

@tawdry warren you corvette is great! What you made to light the engines on the side?

[balmy cedar]

Hmm

I'm plotting to steal another corvette design

[fair pilot]

Outside sticking engine, or the old option - sunk between the hull panels?

[olive tide]

I think it gets less ugly?

[fair pilot]

Or titan thruster deeper inside?..

[long pawn]

I'd like to see the Titan Thruster deeper inside. It'd suit the overall look well. BTW... I really like this particular design. 5 stars, Seraph.

[fair pilot]

Titan deeper inside and kineostream at the end, because I like it's nozzle better! "D

damn, I have to reattach vents again...

[long pawn]

I'd been wondering what other items fit well with the Arcadia Wing besides itself 180º glitched. I think you've found it.

[fair pilot]

Oh, let me show you! 😄

Hoppers between 2 of them

[long pawn]

Yeah!

[fair pilot]

This thing to soften it

[long pawn]

What thing?

[fair pilot]

Streamlined Trim Cap placed sideways on the underneath hub

[solemn tendon]

how do u i hover with corvette?

[fair pilot]

God forgive me, I had to ebable creative mod for this - plasma core inside the arcadia wings, to properly place the cannons.

[fair pilot]

When you need to hover - X, leave pilot seat. Or X - autopilot - maintain current flight schedule

[solemn tendon]

ty

[fair pilot]

Why his titan engines are shining?

I'd happily reorganise my whole reactor setup if I'd make these things shine.

[long pawn]

Ah, thanks you. Ihave trouble seeing things when it's black on black. LOL

[fair pilot]

Sorry, I usually working on brighter stations. But that was like "I HAVE TO TRY THIS" when I've seen this lad corvette, so I jumped to whatever the first station I've was near

[long pawn]

No worries, I've been playing exclusively in creative mode since I came back to the game.

[solemn tendon]

i might redesign my corvet and use it just for explor since ability use scanner on it is nice

[fair pilot]

Glitched build?

[solemn tendon]

just when i builded it i didnt knew that parts work as modules
and the fact it uses normal technology so i cant increase it

[fair pilot]

I'm about scanner.

[long pawn]

Hahaha! I'm exactly the same. See something or suddenly have an idea and I have to immediately try it out at the nearest space station. Patience is for hospitals. lol

[long pawn]

The engines shine when they are on.

[fair pilot]

Umhmhmhmhmhhhhh... I need to find a way to hide my reactors somewhere else then...

[long pawn]

Why? I think they add to coolness factor.

[glass surge]

I really love the titan engines but i'm glad we have the new ambassador ones

And I have to remove these, but removing these affect the shape in a worse way

[long pawn]

For sure! They're great looking engines and are pretty damn fast too.

[fair pilot]

I mean, fuel rods and streamlined caps

[long pawn]

Okies. I have to bow out a bit. Have some housework needing to be done. Please post the latest updated version of your ship when completed.

[solemn tendon]

what best way to garm corvette parts?
flying on corvette and collecting debris?

[fair pilot]

Yes, flying on corvette and shoot scrap

[solemn tendon]

ty

[glass surge]

If you can find a small moon with it and that says abundant in the resource list in the visor on when you've touched down on it you'll be set but that might not be as easy to find; it'd be something to keep in mind or an eye out for if you see it

[fair pilot]

It'll be tighter placed on a small moon?

[solemn tendon]

by abundant u mean it would abundant moon or something?

i might get just a moon then i am here mainly for root anyway and maybe finding uranium/silver whatever gas

[glass surge]

no in the analysis visor when you use it on the surface

[solemn tendon]

what weapon is best to destroy it? i mean debris

where it is on visor vision

[glass surge]

infra knife or cyclotron ballista

[solemn tendon]

u cant buy neither on space station right?

nwm u can craft it

i thought u needed infra knife turret or somethinh

[glass surge]

when you're on planet an using the analysis visor resources will be on the left of the screen along with sentinel fauna etc

[fair pilot]

Meh, titan engines are not fitting my ship 🙁

[glass surge]

Infra knife or cyclotron is great for getting parts out of the ground with a basic corvette just for farming

[errant depot]

New activity for anyone who hates the machine they’re running the game on or wants to flex how much it can handle

[trail hornet]

what even is this 😭

[errant depot]

The consequences of hubris

[shadow wraith]

Hey, I enjoyed staring at 20FPS on corvette meets

Vega 56 in shambles

[errant depot]

I mean if you use this trick responsibly you can do cool stuff like this
I however am not using this responsibly and will fly these wings of wax until I either touch the sun or they melt

It has gotten to the point where adding and deleting causes my PS5 to panic

[low light]

is it just my game or is the sattelite receiver in two parts? the ball and dish separated? I seem to remember they were joined...

[uncut estuary]

haven't seen many people take a crack at asymmetrical split corvette designs...

[unreal tendon]

Right now, cyclotron ballista have best AOE, sometimes it can hit even salvage under unbreakable terrain.

[solemn tendon]

i guess ballista since i dont plan to fight with it for a long time

[abstract crow]

All my designs are sharp, kinda chonky, diamond or triangle shapes.

[long pawn]

I've run into situation like that too. Sometimes, you just have to choose looks over stats boost.

[errant depot]

Update: peak microvette has been achieved

[long pawn]

Coolness!

[unreal tendon]

People either glitch-build flying fortresses or TARDISes, nothing in between.

[long pawn]

Bleah

[uncut estuary]

idk I had to do the bytebeat cable thing to get mine working

[abstract crow]

Don't hate on my flying fortresses.

[errant depot]

I also proved myself right about the mirroring stairs thing, this entranceway works

[fair pilot]

LOL just saved corvette to perform 180 degree rotation trick, and it turned into devault corvette 😄

[errant depot]

Does anyone know if the medi-pod still doesn’t do anything?

[fair pilot]

It is not.

[uncut estuary]

what is the default corvette people talk about? I see the one in the starship upgrade terminal thing, but not this other one

[errant depot]

I am also now realizing that this trick could be used to squeeze all 10 storage units into an insanely tight space

[glass surge]

If you keep building any smaller Zero you're going to tun into a singularity

[errant depot]

Well obviously it won’t be smaller than this but still

I present the most compact (and probably worst) storage area you can have on your corvette:

[abstract crow]

Now make it even smaller somehow.

[errant depot]

No. That’s enough.

[scenic sigil]

Make it so you turn one degree to the side to get a different storage

[errant depot]

That is already how small that space is, the interaction area for each one is pretty much touching the next

[abstract crow]

smaller

[pine patio]

changed the front a bit, what do you guys think about this ol' pile of junk? 😄

[silk zealot]

Is that using free placement

[errant depot]

The hallway that blinds you and is also at the complexity limit

[errant depot]

No it is entirely snap points

[silk zealot]

How did you snap the storage on ambassador hubs in a way that they aren't separated 🙀

[errant depot]

a lot of this

https://youtu.be/rRQaA1uCXDg?si=5PX6LO5raucdnxSt

[silk zealot]

Thanks 🐱

[errant depot]

I’m very tempted to take “The Hallway That Blinds You” into the Anomaly but I don’t want to crash other people’s games because it is in fact at the complexity limit

[glass surge]

that must be a PS5 issue because it's not that bright on my PC

[errant depot]

That is not one ambassador hab that is roughly 80 of them

[glass surge]

ahh okay

[terse kestrel]

And that's why the ambassadors are the best for lighting. Because by themselves they are just pure white and whatever lighting you put in place overrides it. Rather than blending in with it.

And since the lighting is continuous it really negates any strobing effects of going inside the anomaly or stations

[errant depot]

I don’t think you need that much light

[glass surge]

Do you have Aziz on that ship because your corvette has so much light!

[abstract crow]

You see comrade, if you put more light in ship, space will never be of the dark.

[random zinc]

are there any details on the corvette disappearance bug?

[glass surge]

I have not had it happen to me outside of my corvette interior cargo modules go missing after my 2nd beachhead redux run

[random zinc]

you can run it twice? what is the bug, anyway?

[wanton river]

Whoom! Thank you much better aziz.

[terse kestrel]

That's what I mean. It doesn't make it super bright. It actually tones down the brightness a lot

[wanton river]

I am so glad someone else has seen that movie

[terse kestrel]

🤔

[glass surge]

I have a main Normal save and a survival save so i ran it twice; I ran Breach three times only because i wanted parts for my creative corvette save

[random zinc]

I noticed 3 redux expedition bugs: 1. when going into the expedition subsave or back to primary save, frequently the anomaly wouldn't fully load. 2. the globe on my primary save bridge temporarily became yellow to match the subsave. 3. the subsave freighter had a disconnected bridge which I thought was the actual "cool" design until I loaded back a day later and it didn't happen again

[glass surge]

the only one of those i saw was 3 but i also saw my freighter warp backwards in the expedition

[terse kestrel]

By all logic those guns should destroy each other but they just create one solid super bright beam 😂

[random zinc]

oh that happens in my primary save, so if it happened, I didn't notice

[random zinc]

what what logic?

[fair pilot]

So it seems tha we're dissolving into the ship when we're piloting it, because our model is nonexistent when we're in a pilot seating

[slow harbor]

Does anyone on the expedition redux experience problems with getting the phase 1 reward, the ship trail?

I have it showing as claimed but i don't have its blueprint

And if its a bug, will it carry over onto the main save?

because the trail doesnt exist for me in the Quicksilver Synthesis

[fair pilot]

It's not a ship trail.

It's a jetpack trail.

[slow harbor]

oh

Oh its the Halo 5 trail XD

[fair pilot]

Yeah I was confused too at first.

[slow harbor]

looks nice

[solemn tendon]

does enterable modules of this size exists?

[slow harbor]

walkways are this size

[fair pilot]

Short hub?

Walkways, yeah.

[slow harbor]

imagine the connector pieces actually had like, narrow corridors

[solemn tendon]

also does exposed generator make weak point?

[slow harbor]

we generally lack room diversity rn

no big rooms and no narrow rooms

[abstract crow]

Gotta get creative and build around a section of your ship for a homemade big room.

[fair pilot]

No.

[solemn tendon]

ty

how do i remove photon canon

[fair pilot]

You cannot.

[solemn tendon]

oh so slot wasted

[fair pilot]

I gave up and went this way:

And this shit slaps

[abstract crow]

Depends on if you like the photon cannon or not

[solemn tendon]

i mean its decent until i get S modules for infra i guess i could go with photon

thougth i wanted infra for collecting corvette parts or cyclotron

[fair pilot]

Personal preference imo, because photon works for everything just good enough.

[solemn tendon]

good at nothing bad at nothing

[fair pilot]

One the police 'vette I'd probably use cyclotron if the photon cannon was removable.

[solemn tendon]

it would be nice if u could test build with any tradeable module how it looks or something like ghost it like in factorio

[fair pilot]

Purely for visuals you techincally can.

Just turn on the creative mod, check how it works, and then go trade/hunt to build it normally.

[terse kestrel]

Even when I would pull the photon Cannon off my ship with a save editor it would replace it when I reloaded the save

[random zinc]

I wonder if the hab tech modules can be removed by a mod 🙂

[solemn tendon]

oh i could just make creative save good to know for later

[abstract crow]

There is a mod that let's you delete the essential things in your tech slots iirc. No idea if it works, or if the changes stick. Especially with the tech shuffle.

[solemn tendon]

i guess this gonna stay xd

[tame patio]

Mine only has 2 super slots but I found a +shape with the X and B modules and the 3 weapons in the corners worked best for my setup.

[fair pilot]

I cannot explain how mad I was seeing this shit spawns in breach on built corvette.

I imported it to main save and already cloned through the beachhead

[random zinc]

what

[fair pilot]

2x2 supercharged slots

[tame patio]

I didn't check mine at S, if it was like that I'm fine, I prefer having other supercharge slots of other modules to get better bonus elsewhere.

[fair pilot]

Yeah, it's shame that mine are wasted for photon cannon xD

I've seen once 'vette with all 60 slots supercharged, but I assume it was save-editing.

[tame patio]

Don't underestimate the photon cannon, it saves a slot on extra weapons and well it still can become a murder machine.

[fair pilot]

I've got space for extra figurine thanks to that.

btw somehow some figurines simply appeared in my inventory - I've not purchased them.

And they're working.

[solemn tendon]

is corvette storage on sapce station safe?

[terse kestrel]

Phase beam or bust. When we're talking about pure DPS it can't be beat.

[fair pilot]

Should be.

[tame patio]

Someone may have given them to you in the anomaly.

[fair pilot]

You need to slot shitton of them to have really good dps

[fair pilot]

I guessed so too, but they're not transferable.

[glass surge]

Corvette storage module that you craft and install are linked to your planet bases and usually are pretty safe and i haven't had issues with the normal cargo either

[fair pilot]

So someone probably played with mods/save editor

... And I have no more slots to logically fit 4 more cannons to make phase beam actually differ

Only if I'll slot them in a row, and that's counterlogical. Tho I can imagine that the're defence turret, prob.

[terse kestrel]

Slots on a Corvette are not a problem unless you want to pack in every single figurine and starship trail.

[fair pilot]

Well uh, they ARE problem if you want no only EVERY reactor/landing gear/engine/gun, but also S/X upgrades for them,

[balmy cedar]

Hmmm

[tame patio]

I got all I wanted, I also had room for some figures and trails, I could also get one more if I removed the craftable B launch fuel cost module as I got double azimuths.

[fair pilot]

I gave up on ceto generators and shield generators to fit trails.

[balmy cedar]

I have a deep love for phase beams
