nms-corvette-discussion

[swift mist]

i meant: are the ones on the sides necessary?

[fair pilot]

Uh okay. I first thought that it could be a punishment from atlas for editing corvette through the base builder (wanted to align the small parts better), but it would affect only one corvette, not all of them.

[flat current]

Yea theres alot of habs. Do u actually need that many

[leaden tundra]

yea I want to keep those otherwise I wont be able to fit all the decorations I have planned

I shortened the cockpit/deck one

[flat current]

Use something like what ive used here for the front part of the cockpit and back

[leaden tundra]

im mainly having troubly making the habs at the front of the ship look good

[hoary agate]

Is there a way to add decors on corvette in third person?

[leaden tundra]

I wanted a more aerodynamic ship

[flat current]

U can but it just spins around like crazy

[swift mist]

then you're gonna have to remove some habs lol

[leaden tundra]

cause the nose is already made to be pointy and the sides are also perfectly put

[flat current]

Just look at the front of the cockpit

There are 2x1 parts u can use there

[hoary agate]

I tried on planet and on station and game wont let me go in 3rd person

[flat current]

Instead of the 1x1 u used

[flat current]

Move away from ur ship ig?

[leaden tundra]

it wont end in a single point then no?

the nose would end in a sort of a line

[flat current]

No but it would be better than 1x1

Unless u shorten the front area or move ur cockpit forward

[leaden tundra]

hmmm

I wanted to build a ship that had 2 distinguished angles

like the back would be thicker and point inwards sharper than the front which would be longer

[flat current]

Uhuh

Like a triangle

[leaden tundra]

not really

a half triangle with a triangle

hang on lemme see if I can make the shape in paint

Sort of like this

thats what I made with the diagonal pointy things in my image

[flat current]

Right

[leaden tundra]

but im having trouble bridging the 1x1's with the habs

[nimble stirrup]

triangle

[flat current]

The issue is the top section

Do u have atlas parts?

[leaden tundra]

I dont, but I dont mind using a save manager to temporarily get access to the partts

[flat current]

Those could be used to getting the desired effect

Oh

[leaden tundra]

I can also wait until the breach expedition rerun later on this year

[flat current]

Yea you could

[wanton river]

Isn't that next week?

[flat current]

Dont remember that

[leaden tundra]

no I think thats like late december

[flat current]

Breach is the last exped iirc

[leaden tundra]

theres another exped before breach and after this current beachead or something

[flat current]

Sooo probs in jan

Hold on

[wanton river]

Beachhead should end tomorrow then its 2 weeks each iirc.

[leaden tundra]

yes and iirc there are 2 more expeds before no20

[flat current]

Expedition Redux Calendar Nov 2025 - Jan 2026
Beachhead: November 7th - November 18th
Titan: November 19th - December 2nd
Relics: December 3rd - December 16th
Corvette: December 17th - December 30th
Breach: December 31st - January 13th

[fair pilot]

were you able to fix this somehow?

[glass surge]

nope

[fair pilot]

Ok, ty

[flat current]

U have a month and half to wait lol

[leaden tundra]

or

I can just

save manager it

[flat current]

Or save edits XD

[leaden tundra]

I dont mind

[flat current]

You could get by without atlas parts tbh

Just do something with the cockpit position

[leaden tundra]

like?

[flat current]

Move it forward

That way u can make it aerodynamic as u wanted

And wouldn't look weird

[random zinc]

I'm afraid save editors will mess up my save. The files got significantly smaller when I messed around with them the other day

[leaden tundra]

how much forward?

[random zinc]

I think the Aeron parts are overrated

[flat current]

Like uhh

[leaden tundra]

I dont want it all the way at the front

[flat current]

Just behind the 1st hab at front

[leaden tundra]

cause then I feel like every time I try to turn im gonna throw up

[flat current]

At top of the 2nd hab from front

[leaden tundra]

so like 1 unit forward?

oh wait no

[flat current]

2 units

[leaden tundra]

yea I can try that but the front of the cowling doesnt really line up with the pointy nose

Ill have to change it to the line then

hmmm

[flat current]

Thats where u use 2x1 part as i showed

Ofc u can use different 2x1 part. Mine was just so u could understand what i was saying

[trail hornet]

they haven't fucked anything up for me and i use them hella often

[random zinc]

I accidentally sold something I wanted to keep (one of the fetch quest items from the null quest). I ended up using the delivery service

[leaden tundra]

@flat current How do I fill in the part between the 1x2's

like right beside the cockpit

[leaden tundra]

I made a few things and it looks good enough for me I think

[random zinc]

that's all that really matters

[balmy cedar]

Very nice

[stuck halo]

Question how do corvette classes work like? Like I level once to level S and then every corvette I'll build will be level S?

[trail hornet]

nope afaik

[stuck halo]

So it's only for the current one

[trail hornet]

yea i think

[glass surge]

This how Corvette Classes Work, It cost 85,000 total nanites to level a corvette to S Class and you would have to do that for every corvette you build currently

[stuck halo]

Btw each level allows for more spaces inside?

Some have like 8 I got like max 4

I'm talking about hubs

[glass surge]

You could enable cost free crafting and probably work around that and upgrade it if you want

[glass surge]

Upgrading classes will allow for more tech slots and cargo slots

[stuck halo]

Cost free does not exist in ps5 only a more cheaper one sadly

[stuck halo]

Oh that explains stuff xD

So many thanks

[ocean tulip]

Anyone else trying to buid star wars ships with this update? lol

[terse kestrel]

I've never heard that. Ps5 doesn't have those in difficulty settings?

PS4 and every other platform does

[stuck halo]

Maybe it's me,last time I tried changing difficulties for free upgrading I did not manage to find any that has it for free, only discounted

[cursive lark]

Yes it does all platforms have that

[stuck halo]

Hmm maybe there's a trick to enable it then? 🤔

I did all that in a station

I did not relogged

[cursive lark]

Just difficulty settings and costs to "free"

Should be there

[stuck halo]

Ok will try it next time

Btw something off topic and on topic

Have they said anything about making your own freighter?

[cursive lark]

Nope

We don't know anything about where the game is going basically ever

[stuck halo]

If this where to happen I wonder which stations would House those beasts 🤣

[trail hornet]

wdym

[stuck halo]

Or maybe they could be in using a micro image of them inside a space station etc ..

[stuck halo]

Corvette freighter etc

[trail hornet]

like customize the parts?

ohhh

[stuck halo]

Yes

[trail hornet]

that'd be cool but incredibly laggy i feel

[cursive lark]

I would like to be able to refurbish an abandoned station

[stuck halo]

Imagine having Ur own personal death star

[cursive lark]

That's about it, everything I want from a space game is in nms already

[short fractal]

Hey gang how do I make a hab vertical? Do I need to go out into space and click at the right time as I walk off the back or is there a better way?

[stuck halo]

Good idea actually 😜

[cursive lark]

Glitches

IDK what glitch

[stuck halo]

I think we have something in the pins about that

Bee guy has a video about it

[short fractal]

beeblebum?

[glass surge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfdj2-5yq_s

[stuck halo]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

That as well

[low light]

If they introduce freighter customisation, I can see it being like the starship builder. I don't imagine we'd be building a freighter tile-by-tile like with corvettes

[stuck halo]

The one and only Glitch king

[short fractal]

@glass surgeThat one seems imprecise but Bee's method of wire glitch seems better

[stuck halo]

Well yes...it will long long to build one...

Will take days for parts

[terse kestrel]

Beeblebums wire glitch method don't work anymore

It was extremely unstable. Breaking saves of users and players around it. He even warned of that in his video.

Patched out in 6.12

[glass surge]

That video isn't even up anymore i think

[terse kestrel]

The titan access ramp method is fine. Just takes some finesse.

And the light and triangle decal on the ceiling of the ramp are slightly to the left. So you have to build it a hair off that visual center to the right.

[short fractal]

@terse kestrel oh man good to know. It seems his vertical method begins with wire glitch

So if bee is wrong not sure how to learn how to do a vertical hab nowadays

[warm crane]

chat how do i bypass the "the corvette needs this and that", it unloads with the old "just remove it from another corvette plot" :(

mods are fine asw

need to bypass ship validation

[terse kestrel]

That video they shared above will work. Once you do it two or three times and figure out where the center point is you'll be able to do it over and over easily

[warm crane]

lol peak

[terse kestrel]

This was built half vertical. With vertical boosters. I used the access ramp trick in that video

[short fractal]

So it might tip left or right but if i click at the right time it will always be straight down?

Or if im 88 degree angle from p,anet when i do it it wont be right?

[terse kestrel]

Line it up on the cockpit seat up to the roof. Straight line. Slightly to the right of the center of the light and the triangle.

Most times when you do it it puts it in a point that won't let you get back into your access ramp. You collide with the window. Just summon your ship and you'll pop back into it

[short fractal]

Ok this is doable thank you@terse kestrel

[terse kestrel]

You really don't have to line yourself perfectly up with the plan. More line yourself up with the top and make sure the sides are even out on the sides of the screen. I didn't put that much effort into that part.

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

[short fractal]

Im working on a tie bomber. The tubes will be habs, with the connecting joint an elevator access entry.im trying to figure what to add around the hab tubes to makes them tubular

It could be a ring of upsized quarter curve couches

But im sure theres better

But if i build at my base i can just add 4 curved walls to make the housing tube?

Incase u have any thoughts @terse kestrel

There are certain parts that I want to angle downward 90° but they won't, so do I need to use the trick to have a vertical hab in order to angle them off of that to get them 90° downward?

[abstract crow]

I have no idea where I'm going with this design. But I'm definitely going somewhere.

[terse kestrel]

Unless they've developed another method there's no way to put base parts like that on your Corvettes anymore.

Decorations yes. But not like walls and flooring. Now when you place that stuff on your Corvette at your base it's registered as a part of your base. And stays put when your Corvette lifts off

[short fractal]

So i would need to export the code, import to nms base builder, add them, export, import, that still works?

[terse kestrel]

As far as that you can ask #nms-modding

Im on console vanilla so that's above my pay grade 😂

Plenty of Corvette building tools they use

[terse kestrel]

I love this moment

"Am I cooking? Or am I cooked?"

[solid sage]

More angle of this design i did in #nms-showcase-corvettes here's what it look like in the rear

[abstract crow]

It always begins great. And the you gotta put the necessary parts in and make it so you can actually see in first-person and it slowly devolves.

[short fractal]

Mine are often sleek and tapered at the rear then i add engines and its elle fanning

[solid sage]

So gonna try something new sleek look so gonna rebuild one of my Corvette to new ship design

[elder iron]

I find its better to start with the necessary parts and work around them

[terse kestrel]

I want new parts. I'm already bored with the ones we have

[elder iron]

New parts arent really gonna solve that problem

[terse kestrel]

Moar parts now

[abstract crow]

Moar

[terse kestrel]

All the parts

[glass surge]

adam driver corvette that says more when?

[terse kestrel]

I want pirate parts, parts for each race, living Corvette parts....

I would say "take my money" but hello games don't want it

[elder iron]

We basically have parts for each race now, its more of an arrangement for that

[terse kestrel]

Autophage steampunk parts when?

I wanna build the Doc Brown Train from BTTF 3

[short fractal]

That would be cool

[glass surge]

Great Corvette Scott

[elder iron]

Better idea, try to build it now

[fair pilot]

Which shape you would pick? If side shape is approx the same.

[abstract crow]

Make it fatter

[terse kestrel]

I like the bow tie look in the 2nd shot

[fair pilot]

Ah bottom guns clipped, crap.

[fair pilot]

You mean, how arcadia wing goes into aerofoil almost smoothly?

[solid sage]

Here's much better detail design called this design Pounder Cruiser

Its stats

[acoustic stone]

Sorry I just uninstalled and now reinstalled the game. Are we still able to make corvettes and if so for how long. Not sure what this redux" is all about. Please and thank you.

[elder iron]

Corvettes are a feature added in the voyagers update, we can make them for the foreseeable future

[solid sage]

Im pretty sure it will stay ingame so put it like this way if take away player count dwindle or everyone would get upset so figure its permanent so u can still build Corvettes.

[abstract crow]

Coming along. Still not 100% certain what I'm making. Maybe it's more of a large interceptor-type corvette. Too sleek for a dropship.

[terse kestrel]

MOAR HABS

[abstract crow]

Surprisingly less than you'd think.

Considering how many I usually use.

[random zinc]

too bad you can't paint the wall units with metallic colors

[abstract crow]

Oh and I found my new favorite space station interior for building corvettes.

[solar dagger]

guys, hear me out, what we need is: solar corvette parts, so we can finally made the Captain Flint's ship from Treasure Planet in it's fully form!

[random zinc]

the Ikinoham VI Station?

[abstract crow]

No idea what the station is called. But it's gold, orange, and purple, brightly lit and regal as all hell

[limpid quiver]

why does this resemble a viper mk3/mk4 from elite dangerous

[abstract crow]

Dunno. I just kept building with no real goals in mind. I do know I need to mess with the engines a bit before I finalize them.

[trail hornet]

PEAK

[sweet rune]

That looks nice. It kinda looks like a DeLacy Python from Elite Dangerous.

[fair pilot]

So... Lady Arien Mk III

[hard fjord]

Nice detail, the nav lights.

Wish we could put strobes too...

[terse kestrel]

1 byte beat machine and the light boxes that go with them. Partially hidden in the hull.

Can set the byte beat to just play one note every sec. Flashing the lights on and off

Turn it's volume all the way down on the machine so you don't here that beep

[hard fjord]

Hmm... clever.
I wonder just how close can we get to an actual aircraft 😆

[terse kestrel]

No man's sky is going to become the next World of tanks as Lockheed Martin Bros start leaking military aircraft secrets on discord....

[ocean oar]

As any one here tried that bot app to build a corvette? I'll farm pieces all day but it turns out i am not a creative person....like....at all

[summer star]

Its time

ITS TIME.

Yall aren't ready

Nevermind

[hardy badge]

Wow Check it @remote crypt

[terse kestrel]

You might be able to build it in a builder mod but not vanilla. Couldn't get it smooth like that otherwise

Could be sick though. Line phase beams down the middle like a death ray

[cobalt nest]

Does anyone know how i can make this better

[swift mist]

looks like the normandy

[glass surge]

I found a station i feel is fairly close to white to build corvettes in but i still feel the lack of lights leading to darkness between the lights in ANY station still sucks

[prisma zinc]

do hull connectors not have "walkways"?

i.e. do hab units have to be a contiguous section for everything to be accessible?

[flat current]

no

hubs do

[prisma zinc]

hm i see

[flat current]

2x1 or 1x1

only those do

[prisma zinc]

so hub spam i guess

[flat current]

yep

[prisma zinc]

are there any potential "problems" from really long or wide corvettes?

i notice that if you put your weapons too far on the sides, sometimes it gets blocked by the terrain (e.g. if you're farming salvage scrap)

also, in terms of "priorities", do the attached parts take higher priority over installed upgrades? i'm assuming that the regular S-rank upgrades you put on starships don't stack with the bonuses from the installed parts

[hardy oracle]

This assumption isn't correct. They do stack, and you absolutely should have 3 regular tech modules, all the crafted modules and the corvette parts for any system you care about.

[prisma zinc]

oh interesting!

is there some way to not "add" the part bonus though? i don't have enough tech slots if the regular S-rank ones also count

i.e. i want to physically have 2 phase beam lasers on the ship but i don't need the bonus

[olive tide]

Not sure what you mean, like you want two weapon skins on the hull?

[prisma zinc]

my techslots looks like this at the moment

since S-rank upgrades also stack together with these, i want to remove some of these, but i want to also preserve the appearance overall

hence i would like the weapon to be physically there, but not have it occupy a tech slot

[olive tide]

Have you tried 'packing' the upgrade from techslots?

[short herald]

That will work on upgrades, just not the ship parts ... ?

[olive tide]

Random: can I set building/crafting to free, build the corvette, then set back to normal? Or it'll ruin my save/mess with something?

[remote crypt]

[prisma zinc]

you can't, those parts can't be stored

that grid above is without any packable upgrades except for the default ones like conflict scanner and etc

[remote crypt]

Why so many reactors?

[hoary agate]

Mo powah

[olive tide]

Got it

[prisma zinc]

well i suppose i could cut down on the azimuths

i built it under the assumption regular upgrades wouldn't work

[remote crypt]

Isn't the cap for affecting stats 3 of each?

[prisma zinc]

ye

[glass surge]

as long as you're not using a mods that affect the game that's perfectly fine

[prisma zinc]

reactor modules stack to 3
regular upgrades also stack to 3

but medusa/azimuth/zenith count separately

but i do want the weapons to still be there physically because the torpedoes look nice

[olive tide]

Yeah, I just want to bypass the frustrating lego system for appearance

[prisma zinc]

actually let me just try filling all the slots with upgrades first, then adding the parts after that

yeah i suppose that's how you do it

add the parts you want upgrades, then fill with your S-ranks, then add the cosmetic ones

TIL

[minor scarab]

Need a name for this tall ship

@brisk sequoia do you mind showing us more angles from your OP corvette? love it 🤩

my corvette consistently doesnt land right
any ideas why that could happen and what parts could be responsible?

[clever spruce]

The Maw

[fair pilot]

This required a lot of unholy weird actions, but I sneaked the ceiling ring lights on the back of the kineostream thrusters. Love the results so far.

I doubt I'll ever manage to repeat them, cause happened almost accidentally.

[random zinc]

are there any tutorials on making composite parts for your corvette?

like for example the wings with the aerofoils next to the thruster in the previous picture

[acoustic yoke]

digging the simplicity of it, and it reminds me of some alien-ish limousine:D thank you for sharing

[brisk sequoia]

Thanks! It's the smallest one I've built so far:) working on interior and then I'll probably post some more of that

[acoustic yoke]

very curious on your final design, really. I honestly haven't even done my first one yet, and I missed the corvette expeditions:b But works like yours and others are truly inspiring

[fair pilot]

So far we have "shuttle" (probably), "fighter", "explorer", "hauler" and "aeron" corvette parts. So we need 2 types of exotics, solar, sentinel and unique parts now... And living.

[brisk sequoia]

I believe they're running those expeditions again as redux this year and in January:) so you'll still have a chance

[acoustic yoke]

yeah, will definitely check them out

did you use standard corvette parts or from the expeditions as well?

[brisk sequoia]

This one was all standard, just with the new ambassador heavy boosters

[acoustic yoke]

alright, I will check that out. Now I'm curious:D

[terse kestrel]

Can you drop a video of it doing it?

Like does it land at angle? Or leaving your ramp floating?

If it is landing at an angle or the nose is pointing up it's likely a decoration you placed in your cockpit. Or something meshed into your cockpit.

[warm crane]

it lands about 2000 units away from the actual landing spot

consistently

like forwards

[warm breach]

its actually crazy how detailed corvettes are from the bottom

[hollow totem]

i love how bigger corvettes are tiny on the inside

[warm breach]

and i love how big tiny corvettes are on the inside

[glacial sand]

How would I go about combining 2 Arcadia blade pieces into only 1 corvette hub instead of placing them on 2 corvette parts in order to make 1 single big Arcadia piece?

[hollow totem]

for example this is my corvette and it is only around 5 habs

[warm breach]

5 is alot

[hollow totem]

it is?

[warm breach]

thats more than enough for all of your stuff

idk if it increased or decreased in size first image is current the second is the old design

[warm breach]

downgrade

[hollow totem]

looks

i feel like the old one was way too blocky and less colorful compared to the atlas parts

What the hell? Are you using any mods?

I've never had a ship spawn so far away when I summoned it

the atlas version looks to naked imo, the old one nailed the hauler look

I find this pretty

[warm breach]

ok

you see ship, you like ship, you click button, ship yours now

And it's even more crazy how awful are those hub bottoms xD

[vital trail]

how can i improve this design

[fair pilot]

Had to remove like 50% of lamps because they broke the game lightning system. 112 left if I counted correct xD

[random zinc]

it depends on what you don't like about it

[warm breach]

a rounder cockpit area

[vital trail]

is this bette

[fair pilot]

Cockpit overrided my medusa reactor. How to fix?

[random zinc]

remove cockit and medusa reactor, put reactor back, put cockpit back. finalise

[vital trail]

recoloured the black part too

[random zinc]

but check if you need to. mine is better with the cockpit

[fair pilot]

I did that, uh.

[terse kestrel]

I think that once your cockpit goes into your Tech slots it imprints itself in there. And no matter how you shift around your reactor and cockpit it will always be there.

Like from the very beginning you have to make sure that you only have three medusas. So the cockpit never even shows up

As soon as you take away a Medusa that cockpit will go in there and you're never getting it out

[fair pilot]

But I not took away medusa. It's ust overrided itself over medusa at some point

[fair pilot]

That worked!

[terse kestrel]

Sounds like they've made the cockpit take precedence over the medusa. Always

I'm trying to find a way to remove maneuverability without taking away too much.

The ship is too squirrely. But pulling away Tech drops it too far down

Over 1k drop. I'm just trying to get it down to 3800

[fair pilot]

tbh for some reason my manoeuvrability just fluctuates randonly back and forth, from time to time.

Ah, also the corvette lenght noticeable affects it.

[green whale]

does anybody else get crashes when setting up offests? i can't get any progress done without the game giving up

[fair pilot]

No, not happened for me. Which platform?

[south garnet]

in the vid above that cockpit does it matter not having the best one cuz isnt it like a small upgrade? does it matter picking that over the better one?

[green whale]

Steam, on latest patch, no experimental

[little valve]

my first good frestyle my opionion

[random zinc]

I've done this several times to prove that my numbers are better with the cockpit 🙂

[flat current]

Use a different cockpit. That doesn't suit the sharp look of ur corv imo

[random zinc]

what are the ways of connecting half-offset habs (in the port/starboard direction) to a centered cockpit?

[fair pilot]

Mine were noticeably worse (like 10% less speed) with cockpit...

[random zinc]

yes. this is beyond my understanding

[warm breach]

i didnt know that your cockpit counts towards medusa reactor

i thought it was just capped at 2

[flat current]

Use something thats half

Put it in front or at top where u can access another joint point

Then just place the hab

The triangle pieces could be used to do this

[random zinc]

and that drills an entryway to the centered cockpit from the offset hab?

how can i improve this more?

[abstract crow]

More guns

[warm breach]

more american

[random zinc]

I don't understand your question

[random zinc]

decals?

[vital trail]

how do i get more decals? i only have a couple expedition ones

[warm breach]

you can buy them for quicksilver or salvaged data

[vital trail]

alr thx

[random zinc]

I think there might be some that you can buy with tainted metal, too

are there any tricks to force the ends of habs open?

[flat current]

I like it the way it is.

Maybe on the upper side behind the cockpit add an air purifier or decals

[warm breach]

no

[random zinc]

too bad

maybe I can do this by creating a void inside the ship

[flat current]

Try a door?

[south garnet]

does it matter picking the thunderbird cockpit over then round one that has slightly higher stats?

also how do you start a corvette i cant place anything down

[flat current]

Read the instructions

[flat current]

Upto you

[south garnet]

but does it make a big difference

[random zinc]

that's what I mean by creating a void. like a titan bay opening into a void

[flat current]

Use whatever cockpit u want....

[south garnet]

but some have better stats does it make a big difference

[flat current]

Doesn't make a huge difference

[random zinc]

it makes a difference but not a huge difference

[flat current]

Idk much about glitch building. If zycrom was here he would have told u the solution 😞

[south garnet]

also what landing gear is best?

[random zinc]

the ship I'm trying to imitate may not be possible

[flat current]

What u tryna make

[flat current]

Whichever u like

[south garnet]

i want to see the landing animations tho

i like the legs

[random zinc]

The mag lev ones are auto recharging so they are better if you intend to land

[flat current]

Just go with whatever aesthetically pleasing it is for you

[flat current]

Gud point

[south garnet]

like they recharge with resources auto or like the solar?

[random zinc]

you don't need to ever land though, so keep that in mind

[warm breach]

it doesnt say they auto recharge

how do you know

[south garnet]

wdym?

to get out you do?

[random zinc]

you can teleport down

[south garnet]

and leave it hovering?

[random zinc]

yes

[flat current]

Ye

[south garnet]

doesnt that waste fuel

[flat current]

Nah

Since u dont land

[south garnet]

i wish you could like park a mini ship on it

[warm breach]

you can

[flat current]

U can

[warm breach]

with glitch building

[south garnet]

HOW

oh

[warm breach]

ive done it before

you can glitch a landing pad on it

[south garnet]

no i mean in like a hanger

[flat current]

U need to place the ship landing pad on it

[flat current]

U could

[south garnet]

is there anyway to get other corvette parts

cuz the stock just seems the same

oh i have to trade right?

[flat current]

Trade or farm em

[random zinc]

You're right. I conflated it with Azimuth Reactors. So @south garnet it's not the mag lev thusters that autorecharge but rather the Azimuth Reactors

[south garnet]

farm?

[random zinc]

probably doing salvage runs on a salvageable scrap planet

[flat current]

Salvage scrap on planets

[random zinc]

once you have a simple corvette this is remarkably easy. You don't even need to leave the ship

@lament abyss thanks for interrupting the flow of the conversation

[south garnet]

so thats what those planets are how do you?

[flat current]

Yeah

Many players use an airless planet or a moon.

Easy traveling on foot

No atmosphere no problem

Also low gravity so traveling is fun

[random zinc]

Build a junky corvette, you can just fly around in it and shoot the salvage containers

[flat current]

Or just use a mini corvette to farm the parts without landing

[random zinc]

I do this sometimes just to relax

more fun to me than fishing

[south garnet]

i have a shuttle with like 4 percent launch cost

[flat current]

Ok

[south garnet]

wait so when i land on a planet with salavage scrap what do i do?

[flat current]

Go to it. Mine it

It looks like wifi signal/icon but golden

[random zinc]

scan for salvageable scrap using the visor. Focus on one by pressing the button it tells you to press

move to the salvage container

shoot salvage container

scan for next salvage container

rinse and repeat

[flat current]

Might wana put some storage containers on ur corvette to keep the parts

The inventory fills up quite quickly if u do it fast enough

[random zinc]

lol, I read this as "salvage containers" and thought... wait, you can put salvage containers on the corvette?

[flat current]

😅

[random zinc]

I wish you could color those wall-mountable screens. Blue, Green, and Orange just don't cut it 🙂

[mossy widget]

Aerial combat just feels too good in the corvettes

[abstract crow]

I've yet to try combat with my cruiser designs, but I feel like it would be an ordeal.

[random zinc]

Especially with that cockpit

[mossy widget]

It is, combat feels weird In my giant corvette. That video is from a smaller one.

[mossy widget]

Titan parts are too clean frl

[random zinc]

I love the titan cockpit because all the screen are visible and in your face

[mossy widget]

I agree, the ambassador one is cool aswell. Feels like something the covenant would have in halo

[fair pilot]

Titan cockpit requires more positioning efforts, but it is great indeed.

[random zinc]

I dislike how the ambassador looks on the outside, though

[fair pilot]

Thunderbird is the most balanced now.

For regular builds.

[random zinc]

I don't like how the outer screens are not fully visible on thunderbird

[fair pilot]

Titan is better if you can manage how build the ship around it.

All visible for me

Or wait...

How many screens there are? 5?

[random zinc]

There are five yes, Titan doubles them up

well it doubles four of them

the middle screen (the one behind the holo-radar) is not doubled up

[fair pilot]

Like double-double? So they displaying the same shit?

[random zinc]

yes

[fair pilot]

Uh

Tho it will not fit that shape I afraid.

Unless I will add the "hump" over it, but I have no parts xD

100/100.

Or I have to improvise something from the decorations

[mossy widget]

Here's what the outside looks like

[elder iron]

I think the secondary ones dont change displays while the primary ones do, but i forgot

[abstract crow]

Making a not for myself to repaint those atlas wings on my cruiser to red because they're still the same shade of gray but the decals turn red.

[random zinc]

they mirror the primary displays exactly in my experience

[carmine mural]

It's a short automated message with reminder of the rules in this channel, if you would like to suggest a different message you think would be better for that purpose you can reach out using #contact-us

[random zinc]

It could wait for a lull in the conversation

[carmine mural]

Bc Discord bot can understand what your convo was about and wasn't posting that message just bc conditions of posting it in its script were met?

[abstract crow]

Should make Gunter's message more rude.

[random zinc]

What do you call the bubble around the corvette that protects you from atmospheric effects when you're standing on top of the ship?

[mossy widget]

Tha sack of democratic protection

[cobalt sable]

Fishing attachment for corvette.

[random zinc]

When you land, do all hatches open?

must be annoying to close them all when taking off 🙂

[cobalt sable]

Single button operates them all

[random zinc]

oh, so they all open and close simultaneously

didn't know that

[cobalt sable]

Also is nice to have open space to scan forward in low flight close to red button.

[random zinc]

I just run up to the roof

no buttons

but there are holes in my roof protected by the sack of democratic protection

[cobalt sable]

Teleportation to the ground is faster and safer.

[elder iron]

Big sad for me because I have some on ships I'd like to open independently

I want other people ideas how to make corvette usefull, that's why i posted image with my idea.

[south garnet]

fluffy i found a salvage planet

[flat current]

Hell yeah

[random zinc]

I'm mildly curious what happens to you if somebody presses a button while you're standing on a hatch, fishing

[south garnet]

man it takes ages to get from salvage to salvage

[flat current]

Use the corvette

[south garnet]

like make a bad one?

[flat current]

U can walk inside ur corvettes when its flying

[south garnet]

i was making a roamer

[flat current]

So...just get off ur seat and mark a scrap spot- fly to it- blast it with corv - repeat step 1

[flat current]

A small one with just necessary parts

[south garnet]

man i just made a roamer

[marsh night]

Sneak peek at the flight deck of my luxury corvette

Im about halfway done with the interior now

[south garnet]

how do ppl make corvettes look so good

[random zinc]

time

lots of time

[random zinc]

Are those seats sittable or do they just spin around?

[elder iron]

The middle one can be sat in

[fair pilot]

What is "useful" corvette in your opinion?

Like, I DO think that my is useful - all 10 cargo boxes, 3 refiners, mission radar, visual internal stuff, 2 entrances, open deck on top etc etc.

[cobalt sable]

To use it for job and it should make it more efficient

Like fishing in bad weather under corvette protection

Or scan for salvage crates while on low flight

[fair pilot]

Every corvette allows that.

[random zinc]

To me, a useful corvette has all 9 storage units, a nutritional station, at least 2 refiners, a few health stations, and some sort of outdoor observation area.

[cobalt sable]

That's true, but stairs to the roof made scan efficient

[random zinc]

mission computer is nice but not necessary (for me)

The weapon rack is nice too, but not necessary

[fair pilot]

10 units, nutritional 3 refiners, 2 health stations (near the each entrance), outdoor observation area, a lot of space left for decoration so I added few living walls, a lot of tables-couches, 4 berths, and other stuff that visualises "living space" inside. Weapon rack, yeah

[elder iron]

I love outdoor observation area

[fair pilot]

and all that keeping the badass look. 😄

[random zinc]

I have the HPU in mine, but I don't know what it does besides eating ferrite dust

[fair pilot]

1191 surface speed with balanced energy distribution, pretty protected, almost 4k hyperdrive range, decently armed (photon cannon upgraded over the top)

[elder iron]

Oh that restores your hazard thing

Mostly good for emergencies

[marsh night]

The center one is, the other ones aren’t

[elder iron]

Imo it should fill all your hazard upgrades at once

[random zinc]

I see

[elder iron]

To clarify, it doesnt do this

[random zinc]

All twelve of them?

[elder iron]

I just think it should

[random zinc]

oic, so what does it do

[elder iron]

Then it would be way more useful

[random zinc]

besides eating ferrite dust

[elder iron]

Refills your normal hazard protection

[random zinc]

the one you put oxygen in or sodium

[elder iron]

Yes, the one that already refills when you step into a base or corvette

Sodium

[random zinc]

i see

ok, then I put that in nice but not necessary 🙂

[elder iron]

Yes

[fair pilot]

Purely immersion shit,

[elder iron]

It definitely works

Its just that hazard protection recharge has probably been buffed since that thing was introduced

[safe fog]

Question yall, is there anyway I can get the Cool Corvette parts even though I missed the Event?

Modded or not I dont mind

[fair pilot]

Nor that aeron parts where required for a cool ship...

Landing in the anomaly on my corvette is too often looks like "brought 890i to the party of Aurora's, Cutlasses and othe similar level crafts"...

Unpopular opinion - ambassador thrusters that appeared with the Breach are awful and it is hard to find a good use for them...

[kind glacier]

anyone knows how to add cockpits into my inventory with the save editor?

i'm curious how the unfinished cockpits look

[elder iron]

They might not have actual models yet

[trail hornet]

what the hell are those unknown ones???

holy shit 2 wide cockpits 🔥🔥🔥

[elder iron]

I like them, and have found at least a use for them in my wip attempt at a microvette

[elder iron]

Unused assets in the game files

[dark juniper]

Their models are not present I believe, or if they are then they aren't tied to base building objects

[trail hornet]

fire

[kind glacier]

the pictures seem to be pictures of the actual models

[elder iron]

Yes, but that doesnt mean theyre implemented as corvette parts

They could just be thumbnails

[terse kestrel]

They look like somebody's 3D framework rough draft place holder....

[fair pilot]

And judging from their side, it looks like we'll need much larger corvette for them...

[terse kestrel]

Tbh if they are like 3 slots wide the middle can be for hab connection and outer 2 for hull, connectors and rectors. Would actually be a great place to put reactors before starting the outer hull.

[long pawn]

That's quite impressive!

[craggy quiver]

Hi does anyone here know how to fix this problem? I have built many corvettes before this happened, for some context before I went to go build another ship, I was building a base so I do not know if that was the problem or not, any suggestions on how to fix it are welcomed, but do note I have restarted, reloaded saves, deleted and reinstalled the game and all that to fix it and it has not worked (p.s I am also in creative/custom)

[terse kestrel]

It's not letting you build Corvettes at all? You can't lay any pieces?

[craggy quiver]

Nope

[terse kestrel]

Have you tried it in free crafting or creative mode?

[craggy quiver]

I play like that already, I love building so I prefer that way

[terse kestrel]

Have you tried to build on a fresh save?

[craggy quiver]

No but only because I don’t want to have to redo everything again, the story and all that considering I have 100 hours on this save

[terse kestrel]

Try that. Launch a new creative and see if you can. That will at least allow us to figure out if it's your game or your individual save file

Just start it up, go to the space station and see if it lets you start building one. If it does then we can at least pinpoint it to your other save being an issue

You say you like to build.....

Would you say you've potentially hit the per save file part building limit? It's about 30,000 parts.

You can test that by seeing if you're allowed to build anything on a base or freighter as well. If you can't you are likely capped out on parts for that save

[fair pilot]

Which platform btw?

[craggy quiver]

Xbox

[terse kestrel]

Me too. If we were on PC we could just look at our part count in a save editor.

[fair pilot]

But you do have parts in the inventory?

[long pawn]

**Just a head's up everyone. **

This stacking parts video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRQaA1uCXDg, is problematic.
I ran into a situation where I could not pass through my habitats nor climb up ladders after using it.

In each attempt, I was met with an unpassable wall. This continued even when I deleted all the parts and rebuilt the corvette from the launchers on up. I ended up scrapping the corvette and starting over on a new ship to fix the issue.

So... builders beware. This stacking trick may introduce more problems than solutions to your creative building.

[craggy quiver]

@terse kestrel I just made a new save and it seems I can build a new corvette on it and I can build in my base so it’s not the cap it seems, but to answer your question @fair pilot I’m on creative so I don’t need the parts

[fair pilot]

I thought that the game may require you to have some parts looted before building the corvette, because the quest pop-ups.

But not sure how it interacts with creative.

[craggy quiver]

I’m creative you don’t need them, Altho I did buy the parts either way and it didn’t help

[terse kestrel]

So all building in a new creative is fine

Building in your base on your regular save is fine. But you can't build a Corvette.

[craggy quiver]

Correct

[terse kestrel]

Do you potentially have a Corvette template stored and trying to create a new one on top of it?

Last thing I would test is see if you could build at a different space station. Unless you have already tried that

There's an issue similar to what your experiencing where a Corvette basically gets locked into a building area permanently. You can't summon it and you can't get it out of the build menu. That may be what your experiencing on that particular Corvette build station

So I would try a different space station

[craggy quiver]

I already went to a different space station didn’t work, but no I don’t have a template or anything, but idek anymore, it’s annoying because I love building ships

[terse kestrel]

Unless somebody else here has ran into this particular issue you should file a bug report. And considering HG is focusing on fixing up Corvettes right now it's something they need to know about and they wouldn't ignore

[velvet ruin]

pardon unfinished cockpits??

also any tips for building very large corvettes that are detailed without hitting the part limit (ig part economy tips)

[south garnet]

how do people make such good corvettes this is mine D:

[velvet ruin]

practice and special techniques. one thing you could do is make a creative save file (or go into creative mode/set crafting to free) in your current save and just mess around building corvettes

[south garnet]

ok

also anyone know how to smooth it out

like the wedge thing to hull

[trail hornet]

practice and glitches

[south garnet]

glitches?

[trail hornet]

theres a bout a billion

offset, 90°, 45°, vertical building, and so many more

[elder iron]

Im not even sure that offset is considered a glitch

[trail hornet]

is it not?

[velvet ruin]

yeah i dont think offset is a glitch

[trail hornet]

meh

thats fair

[velvet ruin]

because theres no rapid button pressing

but its a technique for sure

[elder iron]

Its just a weird thing with how its programmed

[trail hornet]

i just call it a glitch because it kinda fits under that umbrella 😭

[velvet ruin]

yea

[elder iron]

There are also these relatively new pieces called rims that are meant to act as better parts for smoothing the sides of a corvette

[south garnet]

where do i get them?

[elder iron]

Same places you get any other corvette parts

[south garnet]

shop?

[elder iron]

Trading is an option, yeah

Though salvageable scrap is a quick way to get a bunch of parts for both building and trade fodder

Usually I try to collect pieces from salvageable scrap worlds and build with what I have, only trading for parts I really want or need for a build

[south garnet]

i want a small thin and long corvette how many hulls should i make it thick?

[velvet ruin]

depends on how thin and how long you want it to be i suppose

1 or 3 wide is thin, though

[elder iron]

Well, are you going to want to have windows on the sides or other sorts of decorations?

[velvet ruin]

depending on how long it is

[south garnet]

idk

should i?

yeah i want windows

should i make it 1 thick?

[elder iron]

Ok, then you can probably go 3 habs wide and still be fine

[south garnet]

THATS MASSIVE

[elder iron]

Or maybe have walkways extending out where you want the windows to be

[south garnet]

i think ill do 1 then the extend windows i jsut dont know how to smooth it

[elder iron]

This is true, and I will admit that I have difficulty building small or thin corvettes

[south garnet]

also its really slow getting scrap because i have to land and run

[elder iron]

Lots of people give the tip to just get a basic corvette, let it autopilot on a scrap world, and tag scrap, then fly the ship over and shoot

[abstract crow]

"3 habs wide is massive"
Damn. Guess my ships are fat af

[south garnet]

wdym?

[elder iron]

I dont do this, not because it isnt a good method, but because I like to dig

also does it work

[elder iron]

Yes

Yes

[south garnet]

get much?

[elder iron]

Its faster than walking

[south garnet]

is it auto?

[abstract crow]

And it's pilot

[elder iron]

Not automatic, it just flies in the direction you were going last

It wont fly right to a place you tag

Ok it sorta can, but for specific locations it wants to pulse, and if it cant it wont listen

[south garnet]

also how do i find the rims?

[elder iron]

Random chance

[south garnet]

no in the trade menu

[elder iron]

Oh, theyd be with the other hull pieces

Nacelles and cowlings and whatnot

The top and bottom of them are flat

The side is angled

[fair pilot]

Use large corvette core parts, like arcadia wings.
Make details using the decorum

[fair pilot]

Techniques, imagination and a lot of work. Like, I'm improving mine for over a month now

[south garnet]

how should i smooth this?

[terse kestrel]

Fuel pod covers and long Argonaut or Arcadia blades.

One thing you'll learn is although a big ship seems the best idea and is fun to make a Mini-vette in easier to build and extremely effective for early-mid game

[abstract crow]

Big ships ftw

I gotta start over on my galactic cruise ship design. Ended up more like a war ship. Again.

[pseudo forge]

Atlas Battlecruiser.....vanilla build, no glitches of any kind.

No I just gotta grind out them nanites to upgrade to s tier

I'm ready for more vette parts.

[hallow verge]

Man I have no idea how to make a rocketship

Can't figure out how to make it sleek enough

[long pawn]

The short answer is practice. You just keep trying things until something clicks inside you and you get on a roll. 🙂

I highly recommend learning basic techniques as offset glitching and the 180º glitch. They can be found in the pinned messages up the top. (It's the push-pin icon.)

[hallow verge]

Damn I just took it on a test flight and I don't think it's possible to make one

Turning looks SO weird

Might have to add wings somewhere

Flying isn't really tuned for "rockets", every single ship in the game has wings

Except for a flea interceptor but it also looks pretty weird

How do people make those insanely cool ships? Ones that have an absurd amount of offsetting and clipping and even use base parts

I think there's a mod out there that's an app which uses blender to make bases/corvettes?

[hard fjord]

I think it's Beyond Base Building that expands what you can put in a corvette. Blender is mostly for really complex shapes that you wouldn't be able to do otherwise.

That being said, you can do nice stuff within the normal boundaries of the game

[hallow verge]

Oh I agree, it's just that for what I want to make right now specifically might not be possible without lots of offsetting and whatnot

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598

This is the app mod I meant

[hard fjord]

Oh, I see. Yep, could go for that if you are familiar with Blender. I've seen some wild stuff made that way.
But that's too advanced for me 😅

[hallow verge]

This type of spaceship is what I'm aiming to build- at least ONE of the ships I want >:3
I did see someone make a reddit post showing off a really similar ship

lemme find it

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1oun9qt/for_all_mankind/

Pretty similar

But then... the classic... the one that makes my heart tingle every time I see it...

How do I build this in NMS :((((((

[hard fjord]

Yep, fully cylindrical may be tricky, but if you are willing to make some compromises (like the one in the subreddit), I guess the speedbird-styled parts can get you there -- but it will be laborious. 😅

[hallow verge]

I NEED ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[hallow verge]

I have no idea how to use blender either but I think I'm gonna give the base building app a try

Because the one I'm making ingame sucks lmao

[pseudo charm]

that looks like its on its way to being a jetliner!

[tranquil hedge]

chat how many cyclotron and how many phase beam turrets to put on corvette to get their max fire rate/turret?

[remote belfry]

can I build more than one corvette without trashing my current one?

[tulip zealot]

They go off your ship limit i think

You can go to the corvette terminal and select "create new corvette"
Might need one at an empty landing plot
But if you have the maximum number of ships you'll need to scrap a normal ship to make another corvette

[hallow verge]

yes, you can make up to 12 corvettes before having to replace one

I think

[vital gate]

Followed a guide to build with only a few minor changes, but quite happy with my "first" corvette (at least the first I'm willing to actually fly around).

[long pawn]

I really like it!

[vital gate]

yeah, it was from Blu Spixii's "12 Reactor Mini Corvette Build Guide (No Man’s Sky Tutorial)" on youtube, Mostly I just added a few parts, and changed the engines. Tried making a few other changes, but ended up reverting them each time and mostly going with the video. Shocks me by how much damage it deals, 10k photon cannon dps is killing pirate ships/frigates faster than my 35k dps infra-knife sentinel.

[pseudo forge]

Okay saw a notification like someone pinged/replied to me but can't find the message in here. Oh well.

[uncut bone]

look in the inbox, top right in discord, mentions have a tab

[hallow verge]

Yeah no I have no idea how to make this even with the base building app

I have no idea how to use it

This is the best I could do

I don't know what pieces would work well to smooth out the front

[limpid karma]

i think making ships like this should have its own channel because its basically modding

[worldly zealot]

[tranquil hedge]

anyone know how to make the most clean lightbar like this? without using light floor and blue pill lights, im wondering if theres other options I never saw before

[violet swallow]

there is an app that lets you build corvettes outside of the game?

[vital gate]

never used it, but nexusmods has a utility named "No Man's Sky - Base Building App" that supposedly lets you build corvettes in it.

[tranquil hedge]

because of it no mans sky building freedom just skyrocketed to the moon

the best building system is the one outside of the game's own system

[trail hornet]

yup

[terse kestrel]

And if you do it wrong it's glitchy, can jack up your save and easily create ships that hit you and other players in the frame rate.

That's why you still have to work within certain parameters of what's possible within the game. And why the developers don't give us some of the tools that are in that app. Because of the complications that can result in game.

No reason not to use it if you want to. But go in to it cautiously and make it a habit to constantly save and back up.

[tranquil hedge]

agreed

I noticed something, but I never tested it. If you have modded builds its best to avoid collision or ramming with other corvettes. Im not sure but one of you might crash the game

[terse kestrel]

Well when you have those Corvette showcases they specifically tell people not to bring in modded corvettes.

They are really a single player thing. And if you want to take modded Corvettes into multiplayer you should test it with friends first. Making sure it's stable for everybody around you

[tranquil hedge]

on another topic, I have a question

I want to use photon, infrared, and phase beam. How do I make it so that they actually shoot off of their own gun? instead of like phase beam suddenly firing from photon gun

[terse kestrel]

I'm not sure about that one. I don't multi-role weapons. I just use the phase beam

If they gave us more slots I would

[worldly zealot]

Any major diff between phase beam and infared?

[terse kestrel]

More damage when you stack phase beams

[worldly zealot]

Jw been messing around with phase beam seems pretty strong i usually go photon and infared.

[terse kestrel]

They multiply damage up to 6 guns. Past the 3 that caps your stat increases.

[worldly zealot]

Oh guns not mods?

[terse kestrel]

Once you got the tech for them there's no chance of overheat. Or losing your shield. Since when you do damage it recharges

[pure spire]

Yeah guns. I run 6x Phase Lance turrets on my current gunship corvette. Melts anything in seconds.

And that's without me putting on any mods.

[worldly zealot]

How many guns can u have on a corvette? Thats crazy i have 3 all my slots are filled in tech im maxed

[worldly zealot]

Oh dang

[terse kestrel]

As many as you can fit/hide 😂

"it just works"

[worldly zealot]

Sigh i need more slots 😅

1 sec

Thats what im looking at for my slots.

[terse kestrel]

This is with only 4 phase beams equipped on my ship. The small one up top with 6 does even more damage.

Can kill dreadnought in less than 45 secs

[worldly zealot]

Can i see ur tech slots?

[worldly zealot]

Nice ride lol love the aeron/atlas parts

[worldly zealot]

Only vid of my ride rn.

[pure spire]

This is my current corvette

I didn't experiment with glitch building yet s

Ahem, so, it's pretty basic

It's 6 guns, 7 thrusters, 4 habs, 2 shields

[worldly zealot]

Nvm forgot the extra row we cant see

[pure spire]

Yup

[south garnet]

where should i get corvette upgrades?

or does it work with normal ship upgrades?

[pure spire]

Normal ship upgrades

[worldly zealot]

Idk how to glitch build im still sorta a freshie

[pure spire]

There's youtube guides but I decided I didn't care enough to try

[terse kestrel]

It so damn simple

It's not even glitching cause you're just manipulating existing snap points. Not making your own

[south garnet]

are corvettes better the starships?

[worldly zealot]

y u not pair ur warp drive?

[pure spire]

I'm working on grinding up enough slots to actually do that in a box formation

[terse kestrel]

They can be. But each regular ship has a particular role they fill that still works

[worldly zealot]

Do i get more tech slots if i upgrade corvette class?

[terse kestrel]

No shield tech. Just speed and damage

[worldly zealot]

190 is good to aim for?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah C is 30, B is 40, A is 50 and S is 60 unlockable slots

[worldly zealot]

And thats my issue im only B class thats why

[terse kestrel]

That's per phase beam so the higher the better

Also....some of those tricks like offsetting and rotating Habs allow you to do VERY useful stuff like this

It's not just about manipulating the build to make it look better. It's about making it more compact, more functional and easier to use

[pure spire]

And, most importantly, enjoying the appearance!

This is my current corvette as it appears flying

[worldly zealot]

Just took pics

[south garnet]

what side looks better?

[south garnet]

this

here is the front view

wait nvm? i think i found something that looks pretty good?

[hardy oracle]

Not really a fan of any of them. I like the last one best but I prefer not letting any of the flat fronts of habs be visible at all.

[south garnet]

yeah same ill go with the last one

it has the least visable hab

also wing?

[hardy oracle]

This is a personal preference, but I like it when rockhoppers seem like they are balanced. Either a single pair that is centered, or two pairs that are about equidistant from the center of the ship. To avoid making it look like the ship would flip over if they activated

[south garnet]

yeah they are on both sides but should i add a wing?

like the little wing infront of the first rockhopper

[terse kestrel]

Agree with you there. Rockhoppers are like drone propellers. And those require even balance and equal placement from the center point to maintain level flight.

It doesn't matter in the game ofc. Loose grasp of IRL physics in NMS.

[south garnet]

what side looks better

[pure spire]

I personally like the left side of the craft more

[south garnet]

aight so no wing?

[worldly zealot]

🤣

[south garnet]

BAHHHHH WHAT ONE SHOULD I PICK

are we able to make polls?

no :<

[worldly zealot]

Oops

[pure spire]

Yes wing

Right side of the picture. Left side of the craft.

[worldly zealot]

I was agreeing with u about the wing

[south garnet]

OHHH

[pure spire]

Yeah you got the directions mixed up in your head

[south garnet]

boom

[worldly zealot]

Nice 👍

[cosmic barn]

Livin that Gek life. i get like 25 types of cable in this bad boy.

[south garnet]

also how do i increase level

mine is a C

[hardy oracle]

You pay nanites at the back of space stations

I think it's something like 85k for a full upgrade to S-class

[vital gate]

so bad/good news regarding upgrading the corvette.

Good news: If you want a specific supercharged slot placement it's possible, and not too bad.

Bad news: you have to start with a brand new corvette to get it

Basically build the most basic corvette you can (1 lander, 1 hab, 1 exit, 1 cockpit, 1 thruster, 1 reactor, and 1 weapon), and as soon as it's built claim it, run to the back of the station, upgrade it to S-Class, then check the slots. If you don't get what you want, you can immediately reload your autosave, and it should load you in before you created the corvette, so then you can try again (gets randomized each time).

[south garnet]

this my first corvette is it decent?

[fervent mist]

I believe it looks quite nice

[south garnet]

ty

i still need some nicer habs

aight got the highest tier

anyone got tips for improving it?

[marsh night]

My battleship corvette has a pretty bad supercharge layout so I’m considering making a replica of it to get better stats

Kinda sucks cause I put a lot of time into it but at least I can put a Death Star laser on it if I’m going all out

[south garnet]

hey is it worth having a starship and a corvette or just a corvette?

i need to know before i scrap my old ship?

should i keep my starship and have both corvette and starship or sell it and keep main ship(corvette) 🙂

[brisk crescent]

aura farmin rn

[vital gate]

So not really the best to answer given I've only built my corvette in the last 3 days, but I haven't felt the need for my "normal" ship since I built it. More damage, more maneuverability, and more hyperdrive range all together (granted this is after upgrading it to S-Class, unlocking all tech slots, and moving my best techs over).

I have had to re-enter the space station a few times when it broke, but overall just feels like an upgrade if you have the nanites and ship slots to be opened.

[south garnet]

wait so should i keep it?

[south garnet]

wait so upgrading corvettes is it worth it?

[outer dagger]

depends

[south garnet]

i think ill just get mine to A or B

[outer dagger]

do you want your corvette to have a very high manovor stat?

your just high stats

Or*

if you can go for it

[mild robin]

I think its also alot personal ...sometimes I like hopping in one of my Sentinel ships and flying around ...I've collected them almost like trophies 🏆

Versus taking corvette everywhere

But for upgrading yeah go corvette

And maybe one of your fav starships

[ivory mason]

the longest part in my experience is getting all the storage augments. still havent got a good way for that without spending a lot of units

[mild robin]

Yeah I felt like same with the exosuit... with the teleport scanner and a good S class freighter I compromise a bit on storage

[glass surge]

for exosuit storage it's just get drop pod maps and grind those out or use that with a combo of goign to a new system pay for a storage slot at a station then summon the Anomaly

When i go on expeditions now I just save the storage augmentations from those to use on my main save for ships etc

Better method for storage augmenations is get to the highest level with the explorers and merchanst guild or just all of them so then you can go system to system and pick up stuff at stations.

you could just turn crafting to free in the settings and just open up those slots

[rugged lichen]

My ship named Crimson Arrow >:3

[gentle turtle]

I mean, if you like the challenge and grind of finding enough storage augments, then sure.

The other option is to just dupe the augmentations until you have enough

It's a single player game for the most part, at least it is how I play it.

Someone exploiting has no bearing on the wider communities enjoyment or experience

[abstract crow]

Ask a space santa

[ivory mason]

Trying to avoid all glitches for permadeath playthrough so no duping

[tender wharf]

third person I feel like im flying a predator dreadnought

third person with engines running, pretty stoked with this

[remote crypt]

looks tough

[rugged lichen]

I wanna make a sky force reloaded ship design

[vital trail]

which design do i pick? (ll do decals later)

I like #1 the most

[vital trail]

alr, ill keep that design

[fair pilot]

I like second one

[short herald]

Ya know, I've been flying a corvette starship since I got my S2 and I have to say, I really think I won't be using any other ship type from now on - they're amazing

[abstract crow]

These Atlas parts really add flair to my designs. The red and kinda black color combo, the red lighting the wings have, and all the sharp edges really appeal to me.

[fair pilot]

I'm so glad that people likes these parts, and I'm so sad that Id don't like these part 😄

[abstract crow]

Gasp

[fair pilot]

They look cool asf standalone, but they not really good in combination with other parts.

[random zinc]

I don't like those parts either

[terse kestrel]

I hope with future addition of parts they take into consideration the parts we have available and combine the oldest with the newest in style.

As it is now the atlas parts are so different from the normal parts it's hard to combine them together. You either have to go one way or the other.

This is counterproductive to adding new parts.

[real prawn]

hey speaking of these parts does anyone know how i can get some

im new to no mans sky and wanted to do some ship building with them but i cant get any because i missed the breach expedition in october

if anyone would be down to give me some or trade that would be amazing

[random zinc]

you can play the breach redux in early January

[real prawn]

thats long though

any other ways

[terse kestrel]

Having players gift them to you. You would have to have enough to build with them since you don't have the blueprints and couldn't craft anymore. Just because you get the parts traded to you doesn't mean you can craft them after that. You still need the blueprints from the expedition to do that.

#nms-lfg-or-trades

You can post there asking if anybody is able to get you some.

[real prawn]

thanks

[drowsy blaze]

Aeron parts

[real prawn]

do you know if when i have one aeron part in creative will it let me place infinite or just the one

[winter river]

Anyone willing to drop some Aeron parts

[terse kestrel]

In creative you build without blueprints. So you can build as many of those parts as you want.

Then shift that Corvette from your creative save to your main save in the next expedition

Yeah you have to wait for next Expedition. But worth it if you missed out on the blue prints

[real prawn]

what if i switched a normal save to creative and then back to normal

[terse kestrel]

No. Still need those blueprints when doing Normal mode and free crafting. Only creative lets you bypass blueprint acquisition

[real prawn]

ok thanks for letting me know

[warm breach]

they shouldve added more round parts 😔

[fair pilot]

I hope they'll.

[tender wharf]

How can I acquire the sentinal corvette parts currently if the expidition is past?

[terse kestrel]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

Ask around there and see if somebody's able to give to you some. Without the expedition blueprints you won't be able to craft your own though.

The breach expedition will be coming back again in january. It's a bit of a wait but you will still be able to get the atlas parts if you missed out the first one

[pseudo charm]

geez lookin for that thermal grille cap is a pain in the tush in the wild

[pseudo charm]

you will have to wait until the rerun. It is coming up soon!

[solid gazelle]

Pretty sure he could change his difficulty setting to creative, build his ship then change back to normal. And if he wanted to modify it later with parts he doesn’t have, just switch back and forth again.

[tall trellis]

Hey

[still raven]

Trying to get a corvette that isn't just a big brick is hard when working from a 3x3 to a larger size

[abstract crow]

Chonky ships are beautiful. Embrace the chonk

[still raven]

really wish I could move some of these parts just a half-step out or in

[tall trellis]

This is my LAAT from Star Wars the clone wars

[still raven]

I mean, yes, but, I'm not talking the charactered, interesting chonk that has an interesting design, I'm talking C U B E chonk

[tall trellis]

I used no mods btw

[still raven]

I don't want C U B E chonk, that makes me wanna cry

[abstract crow]

I prefer the wedge chonk personally.

Like so.

[still raven]

wedge chonk is good too, as long as it flows into each other

[abstract crow]

You also should embrace the Borg Cube.

But that's not me saying that.

[tulip zealot]

I can't connect this piece at the end of my ship because it has a big gap

[tall trellis]

No mods

[still raven]

I mean, like, I want my corvette to be at least somewhat aerodynamic, doesn't have to be a needle speedster, I just want something that doesn't look like it'll generate enough heat to flash cook a whole feast into carbon.

[still raven]

I mean, not the vibe I'm going for tbh, I wanna make a nice looking corvette, not something that looks like a giant rubik's cube of doom and despair

[abstract crow]

My larger designs aren't exactly ideal for that. The hull itself is thin and aerodynamic, but the bridge section kinda juts out.

[tall trellis]

My cr-90

[abstract crow]

This is prabably my best example of that problem.

I could do another layer of wings on the hull, but it's such a pain on the ass with those atlas wings. Gotta squash them down half a layer to eliminate gaps.

[still raven]

that's fair, that's why I was complaining about the transition from 3x3 to larger stuff, cause I tend to build my bridge/helm in a 3x3 -> 5x5 fashion

[abstract crow]

The struggle is real for us big ship builders. The smol ship builders have their own separate but equally valid struggles.

And then there's the replica builders. Poor souls...

[still raven]

fair, it just sucks trying to take a somewhat aerodynamic design and incremently sizing it up to be able to fit some of the cool engine designs I wanna use.

[abstract crow]

Yup. I've fallen into a pattern with most of my designs that I'm sure has become apparent to anyone who has seen them. Really hard to break from it, even if I'm trying something new. It just works too well for me.

[still raven]

also, for some reason the game just doesn't want me to build it, cause when I try to squeeze every square of workspace I have to make sure I'm not out of tolerance on the ship's aft, it just won't let me place stuff on the bow end.

[abstract crow]

I thank God for mods. Even if I don't build a massive ship, the removal of the build barriers makes it so much easier to design the front and rear.

[still raven]

Fair, wish I could use parts like the cowlings in place of the nacelle rims

[tawdry warren]

@solar dagger done

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQuaY0VxZJE&list=PLfCM12rMTrmWcXkflIKQurqwnG9qyMIYi

[elder iron]

Cowlings would be too tall if we could, though I definitely wish the rims were a bit more flush

[still raven]

also, ngl, I think they named the vesper aerofoil wrong, should've named it the speedbird aerofoil, fits way better with the speedbird hull parts than the vespers

[still raven]

fair, and yeah, I like the rims, but they are just absolutely massive, way way too much chonk on them, and they just abruptly stop too, no taper off

((also wish we could get dedicated weapon mounting spots on hull plating, what I wouldn't do for proper hardpoints to mount point defense arrays, or fire support cannons))

[tight turret]

For some of these corvettes that look like sailing ships, how do they make the sails so big? When I scale them up they only go so big.

[hardy oracle]

They may be using mods

[elder iron]

Or a glitch

[abstract crow]

Or both

[elder iron]

Most of the rims fit to the wider nacelle pieces, which often have a straight edge at the front

[elder iron]

Also this is almost certainly the case, and a theme mixup happened with the titan and thunderbird landing bays as well

[still raven]

I mean, yeah, I just wish there was just an intermediate that fit a set and allowed for a much more natural progression rather than the sharp stops with the rims
