[vital gate]

Have you looked up offset building? A lot of it involves placing a walkway, attaching a cowling to the walkway, then you can move the wayway to attach it to the cowling in a different spot, each time it moves half a block (so my corvette for example starts with a hab block on a landing pad, then I put a second hab block up .5 blocks from it, delete the original, and put my first hab block down .5 units so my landing gear only takes up .5 blocks instead of 1).

[terse kestrel]

Offsetting with rotation is basically trying to force as many snap points into a small spot as possible. And since you can place backwards snap points on top of forward snap points you can create your own template to easily rotate and snap your parts wherever you want

[iron palm]

Just finished what I consider the mk 3 of my expeditionary / Explorer ship. Dual reactor, even more powerful engines and more nimble then previous builds.

[terse kestrel]

This one. Before I even started building I set up a hab template that gave 24 forward and 24 backward snap points all within a 4x2 hab space.

That makes mini Corvettes that are packed full of a lot of tech super easy to build

Final design only has one half hab though....

[iron palm]

Looks amazing

[terse kestrel]

This thing contains five phase beams, three medusa, three zenith a kniostream booster and two dynamos. There are zero snap points within the body. All of them have been filled.

I wanted to put two Titan boosters on it but I wouldn't be able to use the hab that's on it....

Also don't look in my Habs on some of these builds..... It's like wiring on the back of the PC

[still raven]

So like, I think I'm just gonna build the bridge as a separate pod, then attach the engine assembly to it

[iron palm]

Should I post a screenshot of my expeditionary ship mk 3? And the mk 2 and mk 1 for comparing, I improved the design a lot.

[pseudo forge]

Sounds like you want to....Maybe do it showcase to avoid ire of mods

[hardy oracle]

#nms-showcase-corvettes

[iron palm]

Will do

[pseudo forge]

And yes, I wouldn't mind seeing the evolution of your ship.

[elder iron]

Ngl, I think this is the best way to design nice looking ships that remain functional. It still can be tough to do, but its how I plan to design my corvettes in the future

[south garnet]

man how should i increase the level of my corvette

it sucks rn

[kind glacier]

is there a way to open this door from the outside?

[hardy oracle]

There isn't a button on the outside, but you should be able to reach the button on the inside by being close enough

[kind glacier]

i know but for some reason, it doesn't show up

[hardy oracle]

What do you mean by level? If you mean class you can do that at space stations, it costs a lot of nanites though.

[kind glacier]

i'm clippig through it and it doesn't show upo

[south garnet]

yeah but just make it stronger? i have no room for upgrades its all taken by the things and i have 100 damage i just want to improve the stats

[hardy oracle]

Do you have all the slots unlocked? The tech inventory goes up to 60 slots

[south garnet]

most

ill try send you a screenshot

[hardy oracle]

Not sure what stats you have, but for reference I think mine are somewhat on the higher end, but probably not the best they can get:

[hardy oracle]

You don't have even close to all the slots unlocked! Get upgrading!

[south garnet]

its my first corvette anything i should add?

[solemn cypress]

how do you upgrade hyperdrive range ?

[hardy oracle]

More slots!

[south garnet]

upgrades?

yeah

how?

[flat current]

Theres modules

[elder iron]

First advice is to move your tech around for adjacency

[south garnet]

other then a boat load on units at the back of space station?

[south garnet]

wdym?

[flat current]

Yeah

There are inventory modules

[hardy oracle]

Also, you don't have a single s- or x-class upgrade. You're supposed to stack corvette parts together with normal ship upgrades

[elder iron]

Techs belonging to the same system give a boost to each other when next to each other

[south garnet]

x class?

oh

[flat current]

Illegal kind

[south garnet]

this is my first corvette i dont know anything 😛

[hardy oracle]

This isn't a corvette thing. This goes for all spaceships

[elder iron]

So your pulse engine and thrusters should be arranged in a square with all 4 current techs touching each other

[flat current]

Lemme pullup what the module is

[south garnet]

can i upgrade without spending tons of units?

[flat current]

This

[south garnet]

where get

[hardy oracle]

Here's an example of how my tech inventory is optimized towards manoeuvrability. Everything that I circled with red are things that impact ship agility in some way. I marked the supercharged slots with stars for extra emphasis. Those are really important too.

[elder iron]

Yes, and corvettes make that slightly easier/more convenient thanks to the mission board

[flat current]

Get a few of these and dupe these if u dont mind

The augments are kinda iffy to get alot so

You get those from expedition quest rewards, scrapping ships

Etc

Probably missions too

[south garnet]

dupe?

[flat current]

If u wana do it legit then scrap A or S class ships

[flat current]

Yah

[hardy oracle]

I got a pretty decent amount of augments by doing quest for the autophages. They send you to scrap ships quite often.

[south garnet]

how?

[flat current]

But doing it the legit way will take quite some time

[solemn cypress]

does anyone see creative mode as cheating (just wondering)

[south garnet]

depends

[hardy oracle]

I wouldn't use creative mode myself, but the only person you can cheat in this sort of game is yourself. So if you don't feel like you've cheated yourself out of a good time, it isn't cheating.

[south garnet]

if you are like prototyping nah

[flat current]

Ill link u a yt guide.... basically u just use ur small refiner (not portable one ) -
Place 1 down- place the item u wana dupe-
Go back and place another refiner exactly on top of the 1st one.
Then discard/pickup the refiner

[hardy oracle]

If you're going to cheat, just toggle on free mode in the menu. That's a lot less effort than duping

[flat current]

Meh...its fine for the augments

[south garnet]

man my corvette looks cool hovering

i am actually really proud of that thing

[solemn cypress]

thats sick

[flat current]

I would like to see it in better lighting

[south garnet]

wait one of them isnt working

[flat current]

Ye

[south garnet]

better?

not really

[flat current]

[south garnet]

[solemn cypress]

hang on ill get some pictures of my corvette

[south garnet]

can you place a teleporter on a corvette?

[elder iron]

A base teleporter?

[south garnet]

yeah

[south garnet]

ZAM

[elder iron]

No you cant

[south garnet]

aw

so no teleporter on corvette?

[elder iron]

They dont work both ways anyway

[hardy oracle]

You can if you're open to modding. But you can only ever teleport out since the ship comes with you.

[elder iron]

I also dont think the corvette shows up as an option to teleport

[hardy oracle]

No, it will not. That's what I meant by only ever teleporting out

[solemn cypress]

you can put a short range teleporter on it

but thats pretty useless

[elder iron]

Can't hook it up to anything as of yet

Which is weird because the bytebeat cables do work

[solemn cypress]

does anyone know how to improve hyperdrive range

[south garnet]

uhhhhhh my corvette can fly through walls

[elder iron]

That happens at high speeds in general

[south garnet]

ah

i am only going 100 tho?

[hardy oracle]

What is it at right now? It should be around 3k with all modules

[elder iron]

The corvette hit box is also weird

[solemn cypress]

i think hello games should add exocraft docks on to corvettes does anyone else agree?

[hardy oracle]

I don't think I'll ever make a corvette big enough for an exocraft dock to make sense, but some ships certainly are that size!

[solemn cypress]

and............ i phased through the anomoly

[elder iron]

And that 100 is 100 units (aka meters) per second

[south garnet]

FR

oh

[elder iron]

Nomad can fit on a small corvette

[south garnet]

LIKE YOU CAN MAKE THE EXOCRAFT LATCH ONTO IT OR GO IN A MINI HANGER

[iron palm]

check #nms-showcase-corvettes i just posted the full line up of the expeditionary ships.

[cursive lark]

I just want one for the minotaur so I can say "stand by for Titanfall!"

[solemn cypress]

it would be sick to use the nautillus as a drop ship

[cursive lark]

And jump from orbit

[solemn cypress]

fr

[south garnet]

yeah have you watched next gen?

[cursive lark]

No

What's that

[south garnet]

oh its a kids movie on netflix

my little brother was watching it

and this plane comes and deploys 2 hooks and lifts this mech up

[cursive lark]

Huh I was referencing Titanfall 2

[solemn cypress]

does anyone play on xbox ?

[south garnet]

yeah but its a concept of what it could be

[south garnet]

i did before my laptop

[cursive lark]

Doesn't matter game is crossplay

[solemn cypress]

ik

[elder iron]

It can matter if different platforms arent at the same patch version

[solemn cypress]

i was wondering if anyone wanted to do a party

i just found a nebulon b frigate corvette in the anomoly

[south garnet]

anyone got a idea on how i can make my corvette cooler?

look at how the medusa and airvent connect

[cursive lark]

Don't have to be on Xbox, like I said it's crossplay

[elder iron]

Add some fans and vents to it, that should help cool it down

[south garnet]

noes silly like look better

[elder iron]

Lol

[solemn cypress]

a party on xbox tho

[elder iron]

My only thought is moving back those top fins if possible

[cursive lark]

Oh not though the game?

[solemn cypress]

nope

[south garnet]

hm? i added a wedge too

[solemn cypress]

is it possible to stop ppl entering your corvette

[elder iron]

You can often temporarily swap or place parts to act as scaffold to adjust where other parts go

[solemn cypress]

like when its docked

[still raven]

literally this

[elder iron]

It would look best if they were next to or on top of the access bay

[south garnet]

ok

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

[still raven]

also, give us some exocraft interaction in space, like the hovercraft and the mech (I only include the mech because I wanna live out my mecha space fighting fantasies

[south garnet]

dome?

[south garnet]

hear me out

thrusters

space thruster upgrade

[elder iron]

I mean place a hull link on top, then the fins on the side of hull link, and then switch hull link with a slope and see how it looks

[south garnet]

like jetdrive on back

[solemn cypress]

YESSSS!!!!

[south garnet]

dont have any hull link

[south garnet]

i moved wings back with wedge and reactor back?

[elder iron]

Ooh, yeah that looks nice

[south garnet]

CANNON LINK TO REACTOR

it also fixes the annoying flat top of landing hatch thingy

the top was wayyyy to flat

[still raven]

Save space interactions for the hovercraft (since it's in a pretty awkward space, we've got the pod-cycle, the car, and the big rig, the hovercraft could be used as a small vehicle that is even more maneuverable than a standard ship, but it would be limited to a range around the corvette, plus it would be pretty slow compared to a ship, but it would be a great extended asteroid mining platform), and the mech (because it's a mech, we need space interactions for it, lemme titanfall deploy/gundam reentry drop, or just fight in space, it could also be another asteroid mining platform)

[elder iron]

Basically the reasoning for my suggestion, lol

[elder iron]

Basically the reasoning for my suggestion, lol

[south garnet]

yeah ty

[south garnet]

like whats that game?

HELLDIVERS

if you play multiplayer and your friend needs help

[still raven]

I do think there should be a linkage/bay for exocrafts though, either an external linkage, or some kind of moonpool type bay

[south garnet]

planet fall

mech

[south garnet]

like subnautica?

[solemn cypress]

bassicaly there should be a mech hab were 4 mechs can link up to

[south garnet]

something like this?

[still raven]

I was more thinking in the lines of titanfall, where the mechs get called down, but you could ride it all the way down, or how they gundam could reenter the atmosphere with it's shield

[south garnet]

yeah

[still raven]

exactly

[south garnet]

yeah you would love the moonpool from subnautica

[solemn cypress]

i was thinking more of an airlock system

[south garnet]

you could have upgrade buying spots fuel recharging

[still raven]

that way you can either have them as an external thing you can enter from inside the corvette, or have them as an internal thing you can enter from inside the corvette

[south garnet]

heck shield replacing

yeah

imagine grappling onto a leaving ship in the minotaur and riding it

[solemn cypress]

and pair that with the space thrustor idea

[still raven]

eh, nah, I think it should be one exocraft to a ship, cause then it would be a bit iffy with other people being on board

[solemn cypress]

oh yeh good point

[still raven]

and if you want, you can just summon your exocraft onto the corvette like with the deployment pads, so your corvette would just be a mobile summon pad

[south garnet]

should i swap the back thrusters for longshore thrusters

ive got the dual rectangle ones rn

[still raven]

also, this would be a bit iffy. I would appreciate more weapons for the minotaur though, to match it's combat focused role

[south garnet]

yeah but it could slowly drain ship power to restore a bit of shield on you minotaur

and recharge weapons with ship power

if you set it to

[still raven]

I mean, idk if we have a system for ship power, and i don't think we need one

[south garnet]

no like shield or pulse?

its just a idea

if you have solar it could recharge?

solar corvette?

[solemn cypress]

it would be cool if there was a docking arm module ( the bottom of the module opens up and an arm reaches out with a lader in it that could connect up to other corvettes or make docking on a frigate look better

[south garnet]

man its 40m to get a single storage slot on my corvette

and thats the first upgrade

[abstract crow]

It's nice to dream of all the corvette parts and upgrades. But I want fixes and doors.

[south garnet]

what do lauch thruster go next to?

[solemn cypress]

good lord

[south garnet]

also the stats dont imrpve when i put stuff next to each other on my thrusters

[hardy oracle]

You can tell which objects share adjacency by the border that shows up when you place them next to eachother. No border = no adjacency

[solemn cypress]

some of the bugs in his game are worse than my python code

[south garnet]

good?

[hardy oracle]

Well, it's a start I guess? You still don't have a single s-class or better module

[south garnet]

also i need more slots but they cost 40m for the first

better then s?

[hardy oracle]

40m units isn't all that much. You can get about 10 mil per scanned rock, plant or animal if you eat the right food and have an upgraded multitool

[south garnet]

boom

[south garnet]

WHAT

[hardy oracle]

X-class modules CAN be better than s-class modules, but they're very random

[south garnet]

I SELL CORVETTE SCRAP AND I DONT GET THAT MUCH????

[hardy oracle]

Scanning is where the money is at, I think.

[south garnet]

what upgrades?

i get 5k for each

[hardy oracle]

Lemme go scan something to check, give me a few minutes

[solemn cypress]

i play in creative lol

[winter river]

Will some one give me some Aeron parts

[abstract crow]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

[south garnet]

aight i got 2 upgrades one B one S

The B one gives 4000% more and the S gives around 6000% more

[hardy oracle]

Sorry, I mislead you with the numbers. Here's what I actually get when scanning:

[south garnet]

WOAH

[hardy oracle]

That's per animal

[south garnet]

show me your multitool?

[south garnet]

wow my english sucks today

where get blackmarket stuff

[hardy oracle]

All my supercharged slots have gone to my weapon, so you can probably get A LOT more per scan

What downside? There's no downside.

[south garnet]

corvette talk

but dont they like do bad thingy if sentinel see?

[hardy oracle]

Nope. No downsides.

[south garnet]

one sec the people of cosmic village are in trouble

[abstract crow]

I build stasis devices for cash if I run "low".

[hardy oracle]

X-class modules just have really random stats, so you might have to get a lot of them to get good ones

[south garnet]

can you not choose the slot?

[hardy oracle]

Sorry, that was my bad. I meant to write stats

Though I suppose technically they kind of have slots inside them too. For example a good x-class module might have 3 stat slots with high stats like the first screenshot, or it could have fewer stat slots with lower numbers like the second one

[still raven]

ngl, I wish corvettes had player/ai controlled turrets

because they feel like the bridge to the gap (in terms of player controlled ships) between regular ships and freighters

[abstract crow]

AI turrets for my cruisers would certainly make them more practical

[hardy oracle]

I think corvettes are far too small and agile for turrets to be necessary

[abstract crow]

Depends on the corvette.

[south garnet]

DAMN WHEN I HYPERDRIVE

[hardy oracle]

Sure, you CAN make a clumsy corvette, but why would you?

[south garnet]

oop sorry this goes in another channel

[abstract crow]

Big corvette go burr

[hardy oracle]

Even oversized corvettes can still be agile though

[still raven]

well, i mean, it would give a bonus to corvettes, differentiating them in combat from a regular ship, since the only thing differentiating them would be their size, they have the same weapons available, even the smallest corvette is still huge when compared to a regular ship

[abstract crow]

My 250 maneuverability corvette laughs at your agile ships. Just very slowly.

[hardy oracle]

Huge is a bit of an exaggeration. I think mine is about twice the length and the same width as a large hauler

Granted, a lot of the large hauler width goes into wings and stuff, while mine is more solid

[still raven]

(also, it would give a reason to place different weapons turrets in different spots tbh)

[still raven]

lemme clarify, that is massive in comparison to a fighter-class ship, which is one of the two classes of ship that I would place in the combat role (the other being the solar-class ships) ((this doesn't include the special ships, like the living/refurbished ships))

[hardy oracle]

All of these ships are still tiny compared to freighters though. Calling corvettes a bridge between the gap between fighters and freighters is like calling wolves the gap between dogs and whales

[still raven]

I specifically specified player controlled ships, since we currently have no direct control over frigates, or what they can really do beyond sending them out on expeditions, we can't upgrade them, or do anything to them. Players do have some form of control over freighters, mainly in positioning, and if they are actually there, plus, freighters allow for the addition of a squadron. The Corvette feels like the middle ground with what we have, and it currently has nothing that makes it special in combat, it's just an above average sized ship, maybe turrets would be something to spice it up

[hardy oracle]

You're using the word middle in an unconventional way though

[still raven]

I really don't see how it's unconventional. From the standpoint of gameplay, we only have three sizes of ships we can control, "Standard", "Corvette", and "Freighter".

[hardy oracle]

Corvettes are part of the standard class in terms of both size and functionality though

But setting that aside, I think the more important consideration is that there is no content in the game where turrets would be needed. There are no challenges in space that can't easily be overcome by just pointing your nose at things and firing

[south garnet]

i get 40k from scan

where do i get X upgrades?

200k from creature

[hardy oracle]

X-class upgrades are mostly from killing pirates, but also from the scrap merchant on space stations

[south garnet]

scrap mechant?

the little dude in the corner?

[hardy oracle]

The fellow beneath the stairs, yeah

You get the currency from exploring derelict freighters

[south garnet]

where do i find those?

found it

i used thingy

[random zinc]

you can get them from the black market upgrade dealer on pirate stations

[solemn cypress]

hi huys im back

[random zinc]

for nanites

[hardy oracle]

Good tip! I haven't been around the pirate stations much myself.

[random zinc]

it can get super expensive since x class upgrades have such a big variance

[south garnet]

pirate station?

[solemn cypress]

look for a system with a skull icon

they are striving with pirates

#nms-questions message

[south garnet]

hey are when i board the freighter what happens?

[south garnet]

yep sorry

this is so i can get stuff for my corvette

[random zinc]

are when you board the freighter what?

[south garnet]

the delerict freighter

[hardy oracle]

It's a sort of combat adventure. You explore, kill enemies and loot your way towards the end where you get a reward

[random zinc]

you may get some corvette part or other starship upgrade by looting a derelict freighter, but it's all random

[hardy oracle]

The best way to obtain something is probably the way you have the most fun doing. Derelict freighters are not time-efficient for any of their rewards, but maybe it's your favorite game mode and then time will pass before you know it 🙂

[south garnet]

i cant find it

[hardy oracle]

First time scanning for something in deep space? Start up your pulse drive, only way to keep the scanner active

[hardy oracle]

I feel I should caution you that chasing x-class modules is not a great use of your time at your stage of the game. You've got so many things that need doing that will give you much more significant upgrades

[tender wharf]

which upgrades increase the scanning monies?

[warm crane]

chat when did apple make a intelligent version of mercury

[hardy oracle]

The wiki seems to be pretty accurate when it comes to module stats too. Check it out: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Multi-Tool#Upgrade_Modules

[tender wharf]

I dont understand, I have 3 X upgrades that give +10k% for analysis but I dont even get 1mil units when scanning

[hardy oracle]

It also stacks with food that improves scanning income

[tender wharf]

what food are you eating with your upgrades to get 25mil

[hardy oracle]

Take whatever number you get now and multiply it by about 600 to find what you'd get with the food

Hopefully tonight I can try building a luxury yacht/cruise starship again. My last go turned out too militaristic

[pine patio]

perfect crew on this one

[solid sage]

Oh boi this kinda look impressive but looking for certain design to keep forever.

[solid sage]

What u think of it tho?

I like to build big Corvette ships i hvnt build small ship size tho

i just thought of something really crazy corvette build to do lol and imma stick with it

[abstract crow]

You know, someone should try to recreate the various frigates as corvettes.

[strong spruce]

what's the best reactor for a corvette that does everything like manoeuvrability, power the lot

[strong spruce]

I'm doing a really stupid design

[solid sage]

lol

[livid veldt]

I have been adding base parts to my corvette -- but nothing has changed recently in corvette parts. I just went in to change color using corvette build mode and I can't save becuase it says all thing must be connected. Nothing was added or moved since I've successfully saved before as far as corvette parts -- nothing.

Nothing is highlighted red. How do I determine what the game thinks is not connected? Doesn't it highlight the "disconnected" part?

[terse kestrel]

Get that framework scaffolding from hull connector section. Drop it all around your Corvette in a circle. And then fill in everything in the middle. Mesh it all throughout your corvette. You can delete it later.

Eventually one of scaffolding will come in contact with the decoration that's throwing up an error. Error will go away. That will at least tell you the exact area it's taking place and pin down what you need to delete

[livid veldt]

Ah.,

Will that wipe out corvette or base parts where it intersects the corvette, do you know?

[terse kestrel]

Often times just putting it in a circle around the outside of your Corvette does it. It's just got to get somewhat close enough to the decoration part.

And it's hit and miss whether or not it will delete something that it meshes through. So if you do have to start pushing it into areas that are decorated fully it may take some out.

[solid sage]

Finished to see the rest of the angles posting them in #nms-showcase-corvettes here's 2 angles

[terse kestrel]

Has a fractal look to it

I like that

[solid sage]

just know max working thruster u can have is 10 any more wont work so this corvette has 9 thrusters plus its a warship Vengeance

[livid veldt]

It has to connect to the corvette to be deployed there - so you mean attach it to where it will attach all around the corvette? Not like a square enclosing the corvette but not touching it (seems not possible).

[solid sage]

2 turrets on both sides 1 in the front altogether is 5 dps is above average but can survive in combat longer

[livid veldt]

nM I found it

[elder iron]

I kinda want to try to recreate types of starships as corvettes too

[abstract crow]

I've seen a few Sentinel ship designs. Like the one I fly around in.

[elder iron]

My corvette designs trend towards resembling sentinel ships overall

At least when I'm not really actively intending a design

[solid sage]

kinda funny if someone did red faction ship design as a corvette now that be crazy from older games

[elder iron]

Both of these were made as I progressed through their respective expeditions, so that might have something to do with it

[random zinc]

why does the preview for summoning ships or managing the ship archive squash the corvette?

[elder iron]

Not completely sure

I have noticed that theres also some preference regarding which corvette gets the better preview... I think

[random zinc]

what do you mean?

[elder iron]

I definitely notice a specific corvette being chosen when I sell/scrap a current shop

[elder iron]

Oh like some of them just have the cockpit and habs while others show more of the structure

[random zinc]

interesting, all of mine show everything, but squashed

[elder iron]

But when I get rid of a ship I am actively using, it switches specifically to my explorer corvette

At least, if I was flying a corvette before the ship I sold/scrapped

[random zinc]

when I scrap a ship, it always switches to my Radiant Pillar BC1

[elder iron]

Mine is in the freighter garage

[random zinc]

I ought to upgrade the pillar to S

out of nostalgia

[elder iron]

But I find it strange that it doesnt switch to my most recently flown corvette

[random zinc]

what I noticed is that if I scrap a ship and then teleport to the freighter and get into the corvette, it's always the newest corvette

not the corvette I most recently used

[elder iron]

The cosmonopticon is not my newest, lol

[random zinc]

but the corvette I most recently added to my collection

[elder iron]

I think its my second corvette, iirc

[random zinc]

who knows what data structure they use for this 🙂

[elder iron]

Aside from corvette builds being stored like a tree, idk

[random zinc]

I haven't tried adding a fourth corvette to try stuff out

[elder iron]

And the tree thing is just a guess

[random zinc]

nor am I going to

[elder iron]

Its funny because I have to think about whether I have 4 or 5 corvettes

[random zinc]

I have my main corvette, the one from 19, and the one from 20

[elder iron]

I have my first from 19 (planning on revamping it with my improved skills and knowledge), my second I claimed as a copy of the first for more parts that became the explorer, third I kinda forgot (probably claimed again) and turned into a beetle looking ship before trying my idea of a starship I'd live in, then the bugged copy from 20 which i turned into a microvette, and the working copy from 20

[random zinc]

bugged copy?

listening devices, eh?

what's the trick to copying a corvette multiple times?

do you trade with npc and then stalk them to get it back?

[elder iron]

Transfered the ship minus the corvette modules

[elder iron]

The trick seems to be that corvettes are always considered different ships

Or once you change the corvette, its not the same

So you just copy it again from the expedition

[random zinc]

TIL

[elder iron]

And what i did for expeditions 19 and 20 was put as many corvette parts as I was able to before ending the expeditions

Which, obviously, didnt work as well as I'd hoped with the corvette from 20

[random zinc]

I did the same, but the amount of parts I've gotten from salvageable scrap has dwarfed it.

[elder iron]

This is true, but as an initial boost it is very nice

[silver garden]

Is there a difference between trading advanced corvette parts and Buying them ?

[elder iron]

You can trade for every corvette part, you can only buy some basic ones

[random zinc]

By the time I did 19, I was no longer in the "initial" period 🙂

[silver garden]

So trading doesn’t offer any special perks or nothing they are basic but basics you can’t buy right ?

[elder iron]

Special perks?

[silver garden]

Like stats

[elder iron]

You can get the specific parts you want

[silver garden]

Better stats

[random zinc]

no it's still random

[elder iron]

Oh, technically kinda sorta but it depends

[random zinc]

in my experience

[elder iron]

Some engines/boosters are better than others, that sort of thing

[silver garden]

I traded half my corvette parts for advanced thinking they are better 💀💀💀💀💀

[random zinc]

whether you buy or trade for a specific part, that specific part is the same

[elder iron]

But that isnt anywhere near as important as getting the ONE piece you are missing to get a nice symmetrical look

[random zinc]

it's just that you can't buy all the parts

[silver garden]

Noted

I’ll send a pic of my corvette once I clean the mess I made

Thanks yall

[elder iron]

No problem, just make sure to check the purchase list in case it has a part you want, because while you can also trade for them, you cannot use purchasable parts to trade

[silver garden]

Gotchu 👍

[elder iron]

I felt very silly when I saw the ducting vent in the purchase list after I traded for it

[tough plank]

Two corvettes I got off of No Man's App.

The Benatar and The Bowie, from GOTG.

[trail hornet]

I LOVE IT

as a huge gotg fan, you're the coolest person in here

can i see the bowie landed? like with the hatch open

[gentle turtle]

Are the hull connector parts like the coolant distributor box, fuel cell, ballast tank etc available in normal mode?

I can't seem to find them at all

[tough plank]

The hatch is under the cockpit.

[trail hornet]

yeah ik i just wanna see it open lol

if you can

[tough plank]

Got it, I'll send a picture tomorrow.

[trail hornet]

sweet, tysm man

no rush on that

[tough plank]

Here's my Milano, I painted it, but the design isn't mine.

[terse kestrel]

Props on not just going for a big fudgin star destroyer like so many others 😂

I've seen that one long 2 pad one in the anomaly so many times. All different people

[tough plank]

Yeah.

[muted jungle]

Does anyone have any extra aeron parts i want to make a cool looking corvette

Im getting a bit tired of the starter ship

[trail hornet]

PEAK

[autumn panther]

Is there a way to get more open interiors yet?

[wicked shell]

Before decorations. What should I do, I was thinking covering it with nature or something

[velvet ruin]

Same method as a freighter, build around the open room and leave the middle empty

You can use props and stuff for walls and floor to make it less bulky than habs

[terse kestrel]

Firebird cowlings upside down make for great floor panels. They are fairly smooth and don't have the visual pipes and tubes all over the place

[viral pivot]

Does anyone know where to get zenith class reactors fast ? I need a few for a build as place holders to make wings snap correctly

[gentle turtle]

I wish there was a way we could offset the position of the land gears

[elder iron]

You sorta can

Though its a bit inconvenient

[terse kestrel]

I wish we could spin them vertical and transform our landing from horizontal to verticle

[elder iron]

When building my microvette, I had the same thought and decided to just offset everything else

Now when I land in a space station, the landing gear is offset

[terse kestrel]

This is how you easily get your bottom hab and ramp flat on the ground/floor

[gentle turtle]

Yeah the way I do it is offset the habs left/right, so that the landing gear sits in the middle of the two habs

But I just can't build a design I like that's larger than 1 hab wide

[elder iron]

Flat? I mean its aligned in the center of a hab

[terse kestrel]

Minivettes are legit

They don't have to be frigates

[gentle turtle]

I do this by placing 3 habs attached to the landing gear

One on-top of it, one next to it and one below that second one.

[elder iron]

Tbh I thought you meant forward-backwards offset

[gentle turtle]

Fr, I love one hab wide vettes

Anything larger and I feel like I have to go too far lengthways before it looks long enough for how wide it is, which I just can't do.

So stick to 1 hab-wide vettes. My main one is 1 wide but 2.5 long

[gentle turtle]

Aw nah I meant sideways to sit under the sideways off-centre habs.

Had a very leggy vision in mind with the new landing gear haha

[elder iron]

Hmm

I wonder if doing something similar to what I did would work

Offset a hab and everything else except the landing gear

Idk if that would actually do what youd want

[gentle turtle]

Nah the landing gear has to then either sit centre of the two habs, which makes it look like it would tip over.

Or have them two spots out from the centre, which when done on two offset habs, just looks too bow-legged for my liking.

Probably just my creativity barrier stopping me ATP lol

[hasty quartz]

I can't seem to make my corvettes look any good

[trail hornet]

practice

[hasty quartz]

Any tips tho TwT

[trail hornet]

just practice and use inspo

[swift mist]

go into creative mode and play around

[hollow totem]

what should i put in this back part

[wicked shell]

Okay I have gotten even higher manouverability score

[viral pivot]

How’d you make it s classs ? Mine doesn’t show a class

[vital gate]

you go to the back of space stations wher eyou'd normally scrap or upgrade a normal ship. Corvettes have the same upgrade option (think it's like 85k nanites total to max). The supercharge slots are seeded when you create the corvette, so if you want to get something like a 4 square set you should google the trick (not complicated but somewhat time consuming, can take upwards of an hour building and resetting).

[hollow totem]

fuck it we doin cozy living room

[viral pivot]

That’s nuts

I’ve been looking for zenith class reactors for a build I want but can’t find any now I find out the corvette has classes too

[hollow totem]

updated my living room a bit

[south garnet]

man i made it to the end of a delerict freighter and picked upgrade and i got a c class upgrade

[south garnet]

how do i get good/more interior placeable thingys?

What should i do with these rooms? theres 1 on each side of a long walkway/living room

[livid veldt]

They need to fix that blooom

[hollow totem]

the anomaly is like that

[livid veldt]

I know - that's not as it should be.

[south garnet]

how do i get more blueprints to place stuff in corvettes?

[glass surge]

You only have so many modulesyou can use the rest are base modules you use in base building mode outside of the corvette builder; you can get base modules / decorations at the Anomaly terminal back where you can get starship and multitool upgrades etc

[south garnet]

where?

oh i think i got it?

[south garnet]

wat do i do with these??

[limpid karma]

kitchen

[south garnet]

i made it to the pirate system where do i buy them?

[south garnet]

ok ill make one that

[tawdry field]

space station

[south garnet]

but where on it?

[short fractal]

Working on TIE Bomber again in basebuilder

[amber dirge]

Finally made a corvette I like : ) nothing to crazy cool like the ones I have been seeing! but i like it : )

[woeful prism]

I’m designing a company that is building corvettes for other companies, that is MTS (Mangus Technical Systems) who work with the RSI (Roskus Space Industries) and THA (Telescopic Hybrid Areospace industry.)

What do you guys think of the mini bits of lore? I posted this originally to Reddit but it’s gotten no traction yet.

[south garnet]

how did you make the lights?

[amber dirge]

Hey! These corvette parts are from the Breach expedition and many of the Aeron corvette ship parts have the lights that are part of the design 🙂

Which is kind of nice!

[trail hornet]

either pill lights or the aeron parts

[south garnet]

pill lights?

[trail hornet]

the small ones

i think you mean the aeron parts tho

these?

[amber dirge]

Yeah they are all Aeron parts. I didn’t really do any glitching at all 🙂

[swift mist]

i like the idea of attaching lore to corvettes. it gives character and breathes life into them

[woeful prism]

Well thank you, I’m currently in the process of making the fourth corvette in the lineup.

How do you filp stuff vertical?

[hardy oracle]

Not every item can be flipped that way, but I think the default keybind is B

[rugged lichen]

my new corvette, FG BLACK PIERCE

[south garnet]

I FIGURED OUT WHAT SMALL ROOM FOR

I AM STARTING A DRUG (nipnip) EMPIRE I CAN PUT PLANTERS THERE!!!!!!

awh they dont go in corvettes

[woeful prism]

I need a three letter acronym I can use for my list of Companies I’m creating for my NMS Universe project.

[wanton river]

Nmc. No mans companies

[woeful prism]

That’s a funny one.

[woeful prism]

Also for some reason I can’t scrap a corvette.

[hoary agate]

Bc u cant.

If u want to get rid of corvette u need to exchange with npc

Then scrap npc ship

[subtle vortex]

BWI - Border World Industries

[woeful prism]

That’s GENIUS

[subtle vortex]

Theres also a Lot of Lore around this already because i used this in an Space engineers role Play Server

[broken kettle]

It'd be nice to have more options for windows

[fair pilot]

Freelancer reference?

[static jay]

I've already posted In the trade part but if anyone has any atlas themed corvette parts they have sitting around and would be willing to trade or barter for them I'd love to trade!

I believe a lot of the parts are from breach and another expedition which have the atlas stuff. Or if anyone can point me in the direction of where I can find people that trade and sell stuff that would be helpful!

[pseudo forge]

once you've done Breach they are craftable.

[terse kestrel]

Breech Redux is coming in january. So everyone will have a chance to pick up the blueprints then

[fair pilot]

breach

[static jay]

Someone's offered to give me some corvette parts from the expedition later, can corvette parts be put into the refiner to do the refiner glitch? Sorry if the glitch is seen as taboo. Only gonna do it for the ship parts if doable

[terse kestrel]

If you're going to go that route just make it easier and when you get the parts turn on free crafting. You can use as many of the parts as you want but they won't leave your inventory

[balmy cedar]

Oh hey

I stole a ride aboard your ship last night

[viral pivot]

You can get corvette parts on expeditions ?

[balmy cedar]

Kinda

Depends on the expedition

[viral pivot]

I need 4 zenith class reactors but can’t seems to find any and I only need them as place holders to make some wings snap correctly 🥲

[balmy cedar]

Only 3 will give any boost

4 will be decor

Brutal tho

[viral pivot]

I haven’t tried it

@balmy cedar it’s to make this back design

[balmy cedar]

Ahh gotcha

[velvet ruin]

Make sure to redeem milestone rewards too some give you parts if you're in breach or corvette

[viral pivot]

So the corvette assembly missions give parts too ?

[balmy cedar]

Go planetside and look for yellow things with the wifi logo

[balmy cedar]

Hmm

Any SDF1 builds?

[modest rapids]

Why can't I remove the photon cannon form a Corvette. Ahhhhh

Might use save edit because that's extra slots that could go to something more useful

It's infuriating I only ever use the cyclotron, positron or phase beam

[abstract crow]

I'm not 100% sure the save editor would be permanent. Someone said the cannons come back eventually.

[modest rapids]

Darn. I'm gonna just report here & there until they give you an option. If it's a bug.

[abstract crow]

I mean, it's worth a try. Worst case scenario, they come back and replace one of your slots.

[subtle wolf]

Crazy idea earlier, but was so big it caused my game to crash ;-;

[abstract crow]

Damn. My cruiser would cause your console/pc/switch to explode if that caused a crash. Nevermind the to-scale super star destroyers.

Ooo. Blue.

[viral pivot]

Where do I redeem them ?

[velvet ruin]

In the expedition menu in the esc menu

[abstract crow]

Hmm... A massive Antonov An-225 cruiser...

Don't think the space station is wide enough

[hoary agate]

We can do quite wide tho

[tough plank]

[fair pilot]

but why should we?

[hoary agate]

Bc why not

[fair pilot]

wide is overrated, go high.

[abstract crow]

High is overrated. Go low.

[terse kestrel]

Minier*

[shell summit]

My corvette is at the 100 item cap and it feels slow AF in the atmosphere dispite having as many thrusters the game would count towards the stats/ performance. Do items/cosmetics weigh it down and minis are faster or is it a lag issue making larger ships feel slower

[modest rapids]

How can I shrink things on a Corvette the usual x+y & Rt+Y doesn't work.
I want to shrink down lights & colored light blocks

[swift mist]

post a screenshot of your corvette's tech inventory

[modest rapids]

I've noticed that too sometimes I have fully upgraded X class tech buffs , ship color trail & those figurines to give it a boost & it's 3k but still feels sluggish it's also small like a gunship.

[shell summit]

It's C class. I didn't upgrade anything

[static jay]

Oh damn I didn't know that was even a thing. Thank you!

[swift mist]

well that's your answer

with just the parts and unupgraded they feel sluggish

add some tech modules. same ones from a regular starship will work

[shell summit]

But I did make a mini C class and it felt faster that's why I thought weight or lag played a factor

[swift mist]

some parts do lower maneuverability if you add them

ive noticed habs are one of those parts

[shell summit]

My maneuverability was over 2k

[swift mist]

just parts, naked tech slots?

[shell summit]

The tech slots were full just from corvette parts. Unfortunately I don't have a screen shot because the game deleted that corvette on me when I made a new one it disappeared. I can't find it anywhere

[swift mist]

thats a shame

that sounds hilarious. wouldve liked to see it

[shell summit]

I used 3 Medusa reactors and made sure to make everything adjacent to maximize stats

[shell summit]

It was on my creative save and not my main save luckily

[shell summit]

You can see the ship just not the stats 😞

[swift mist]

looks nice

[swift surge]

@terse kestrel ever had the Pan galactic gargle blaster?

[swift mist]

all of mine never get over 400 maneuverability with just parts

i tend to looksmax my corvettes and neglect the stats

so i dont really pay attention to the numbers

[shell summit]

That pic was a WIP I took inspiration from a youtuber so I can't take the credit

[swift mist]

wait i can totally see the stats. its on the top right

[shell summit]

Yeah that was before I moved the tech for the adjacent buffs and it was a WIP

[fervent mist]

Everybody’s building Millennium Falcons and I’m just over here, making my childhood toys screen-ready…

Next item on the MF punchlist: replace peeling grille stickers with practical props.

[shell summit]

I wish they would add the future of making blue prints that you can send to other players for people like me that struggle with some of th3 glitch stuff

[swift mist]

thats at the top of my wishlist for corvettes

i wanna roleplay selling my corvettes like a manufacturer

[shell summit]

It's at the top of mine because if I build one from scratch without a tutorial it will look like a flying shoe box

[swift mist]

if you learn how to do offsets, it helps massively with making corvettes less boxy

[shell summit]

I can off set stuff to make snap points where there wouldn't normally be most of the time my issue is figuring out how to make something that is dependent on glitches. I swear all of these guys making guides are engineers

[strong spruce]

silly question can I make the default car from mario kart as a corvette I saw an image of it and wanted to make it any tips?

[gloomy nebula]

I managed to put up numbered decals/stickers to keep track of which of my cargo racks is which.

It is very difficult to place decals in a corvette.

[glass surge]

ask the person that made it to make a guide if possible? really depends on how they made it as well because if they use mods or anythign you'd have to do that too

[long pawn]

Hi! I'm running into an issue and want to know if anyone else is encountering it. When I'm putting up four arcadia heavy boosters, NMS keeps counting it as one engine in the tech slots and putting in my two arcadia sublight thrusters in the other two.

This has happened three times in a row. I'm well aware of build order and make it a point of putting in the four heavy boosters well before I add the sublight thrusters. So, is this happening to anyone else or am I just unlucky?

[tranquil hedge]

whats happening in this post with the top comment? do people just not know about modded builds and mindless agree its made by Bot/AI
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/qRxHLCvQ1j

Moderators even locked the thread.

[terse kestrel]

Said it before. Reddit has a strong community of people who just hate Corvettes in general. And they have long had a large group of people who can't stand glitch building, blender for Base building or any other tools then the basic in-game mechanics

[velvet ruin]

I like how they hate on modded stuff like this isn't a sandbox game where you can play however you want 🙏 (tho maybe you shouldn't take modded corvettes to the anomaly because it does cause major performance issues)

[terse kestrel]

You can find a bunch of people there who think HG should be banning anyone who uses glitch building or mods. As if HG isn't in favor of those things

The fact that that comment has almost 500 up votes speaks volumes about how the community feels about glitching and modding in general.

If I was to post my ancient ruin Corvette they would not believe it wasn't modded or heavily glitched. Even though I'm on vanilla Xbox

[velvet ruin]

Glitch building is an art form in my eyes, and modding unlocks so many more creative possibilities just not possible in the base game

[terse kestrel]

Exactly. Which is why HG uses bases that utilize obvious glitch building and blender in promotionals and advertisements.

Many of their player base showcases that they post on social media are modded.

[velvet ruin]

And there is yet another reason why HG is the goat 🔥

[terse kestrel]

What's funny is Bethesda got ripped apart for using modded content in Skyrim for commercials.

[velvet ruin]

Maybe because modding isn't a core part of the game identity like Minecraft

Idk tho

Goofy tho

[terse kestrel]

It's extremely niche

Millions and millions of players. But maybe 100,000 or less views of glitch building methods on YouTube tutorials

[hoary agate]

They showcased player builds but i never saw it in promo or in ads

[terse kestrel]

Major majority of nms players don't even know who Beebelbum is

[terse kestrel]

One of the better examples was derelict freighters. In quite a few places there are decorations and set pieces that can only be placed in that position through glitch building. Such as some of the ceiling items.

It's not like they're highlighting it. But if you know what you're looking for you can see it. When stuff is built outside of the normal mechanics

Like if you build offset and rotated corvettes. You know what they look like. And the fact you see so few of them in the anomaly shows how few people learn that stuff.

[tranquil hedge]

yeah. But here is a massive irony, how did they know about 'autobuild' but not know about modded with base app or blender? this really is just a hate comment to rally like minded people

haiya they hating like its killing them

theyre eating themselves inside out rather

[peak swift]

my corvette ship

[abstract crow]

Needless to say, Reddit is a place where people flock to for confirmation that their beliefs and opinions are correct. Depending on the mods, dissenters get downvoted into oblivion or removed. That's why I stay on discord. Mods are (usually) more fair and opinions are more widely accepted. I like my large ships and people here who might not will still offer some compliments.

[real talon]

I rethinked my dropship as well. I'm pretty satisfied with the airgap, way easier to use it this way.

[abstract crow]

And where else do we get an entire channel or two to talk about these neat ships?

[glass surge]

I swear the ingame photomode puts a jar of vaseline on screenshots with the amount of blur i see

[real talon]

Naah that's my potato PC's downscale and antiuglyasing.

[abstract crow]

I think everyone's photo mode has its own distinct personality

[velvet ruin]

Tbh I open photo mode then win+shift+s to screenshot it

[terse kestrel]

Use your GPUs native screen shot. Usually better quality

[velvet ruin]

anyways with the base builder mod if you put, say, a minotaur geobay in your Corvette with a big hatch in front of it, can you summon the minotaur in the Corvette and use it like a drop ship?

[cursive lark]

Stand by for Titanfall!

Also yes

[real talon]

Its blurry. Period. 😄

[velvet ruin]

Heck yeah

Does it work in space

[cursive lark]

I've never tried

[abstract crow]

You'd have to make a large enough opening to do it. And there's not really any "hatches" for parts. But with a big enough ship, you could make it work.

[real talon]

She sounds like this BTW. Pretty tough and agile.

[terse kestrel]

Yeah but it can be extremely glitchy depending on where you place it. Cause collision issues while you're flying around. So it may take some placement, test flying and replacement till you get it right

[velvet ruin]

Id probably use a scaled up titan entrance hatch piece

[velvet ruin]

Ah good to know

[real talon]

I had a 🤦 when realized the ladder is a furniture, and cannot be built in corvette mode 🤣

[velvet ruin]

Id probably just summon the minotaur once I'm stopped and am about to drop

And then leave it on the planet

And summon it again later

[abstract crow]

To scale up a part like that, you'd also probably need the base builder app as well.

[velvet ruin]

Well yes that was the idea

it's how I'd plan to put the minotaur geobay in there to begin with

Hmm

Can you flip geobays upside down

(mods or otherwise)

if so what happens 👀

[abstract crow]

Your computer explodes.

[velvet ruin]

Ain't no way you made a Corvette several times bigger than a capital freighter

Does it actually have an interior? Is it flyable? Can you even land the dang thing on a planet (and is it super laggy)

[lusty light]

should just make shipyards at this point vs building in spacestations

[velvet ruin]

Actually can you land that thing anywhere for that matter

[west hamlet]

Im amazed and at the same time im concerned ngl

[urban swan]

Whats a good way to farm for corvette parts?

[strong spruce]

what should I name my corvette, it's one big powerhouse corvette that's focused on the infra-knife (sadly can't remove the crappy photon cannon)

[hardy oracle]

Blasting the surface salvage planets with your ship. I'm sure there's guides on doing it all over the place. The idea is that you never even have to leave your ship to loot the containers so you can get a few parts per minute doing it

[terse kestrel]

Get basic Corvette and hover low over a moon with salvaged scrap. Moons are best due to tight geography making loot points spawn close together.

Mark a salvaged scrap icons with visor, fly to it and hit it with photons. They have area effect damage and will collect all the scrap easy.

Then mark another scrap spot in your visor. Fly to it. Loot it. Repeat till you got all the parts you need. Sell ones you dont for extra units.

[urban swan]

I appreciate all that! im coming back after a 5 year hiatus

[supple meadow]

Anyone know a way to get big open spaces in the corvette without making the ship obnoxiously wide

[elder iron]

What do you consider to be "obnoxiously wide"?

[supple meadow]

I mean like 8 or more wide

I like my corvettes pretty thin

[elder iron]

Hmm

7 wide leaves enough room for potentially 3 habs worth of open space per layer

[supple meadow]

Ah ok

Thanks

[elder iron]

Just so you know, I'm counting the 4 outer spaces as maybe having a hab (their exteriors make good walls) and another possible decoration

[waxen wren]

Planet view. And yes it's flyable. Has 2 star destroyers that move alongside it too. And yes has a massive interior. Still being worked on my friend

[velvet ruin]

Good grief...

[waxen wren]

Not laggy once it loads in.

[velvet ruin]

Can it land anywhere? Like a space station or frieghter or planet

If so what does that look like

[elder iron]

It is not bigger than the freighter

[waxen wren]

Space stations are a big no no. This thing would eat it 🤣

[waxen wren]

It's way bigger

[velvet ruin]

why is it longer than the pirate dreadnought tho

[elder iron]

At least im not convinced it is until a proper scale photo

[velvet ruin]

it is shown in the video no?

[elder iron]

Perspective

[velvet ruin]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[waxen wren]

Yes

[elder iron]

Space can make things look bigger and smaller than they actually are

[velvet ruin]

How do you propose you take such a picture with proper peespective

[waxen wren]

I had to use the max zoom out to get it in frame 😂

[elder iron]

While flying it?

[waxen wren]

Let me ease your mind

[elder iron]

Ok fine I'll be impressed

[velvet ruin]

😭🙏

[waxen wren]

No. I was 100000 km away just to use camera mode just to it in frame

[velvet ruin]

We need some interior pics and a picture of it landed on a planet 😭

[elder iron]

I wonder if its larger than a resurgent freighter

[terse kestrel]

10 minutes after Light No Fire drops people are going to have continents on boats

[velvet ruin]

Fr tho

[velvet ruin]

Yes I wonder as well

[elder iron]

Trying to remember my estimate for resurgent length

I think it was around 5 km long?

[velvet ruin]

how big is resurgent next to the pirate dreadnought

[elder iron]

Idk

Rather hard to line the dang things up

Can't do it in multiplayer because only one freighter shows up for the client, prioritized to the one you own

[velvet ruin]

How do you get multiple freighters next to each other then

[elder iron]

But I think the pirate dreadnaught is close to the middle sized venator freighter

Can't wait for more cockpit options

[hidden raft]

Has anyone managed to put a forward hab at 90 degree? (Not vertical, not perpendicular, 90 degrees along the forward axis)

So rotated along the longer axies for 90 degrees

[velvet ruin]

Like

So the walls of the hab would be facing up and down

?

[terse kestrel]

The mods are going to create a command link for us to use that brings up a list of Corvette tutorial videos we all post here for people. Instead of having to copy and paste links all the time.

These are the tutorials I already have planned from our common links

Flip 180
90° Angle
360° (Beeblebums advanced Vette tricks)
Vertical
Offsetting
Open Habs (dont tell devs vid)

If I am forgetting one or if you can think of others to add please let me know so I can add it to the command list.

[abstract crow]

I'm telling Sean

[terse kestrel]

Can make holes in your ship for easy entry access ike that

[hidden raft]

Yes!

[gentle turtle]

Yeah I'm keen as for that one too

[hidden raft]

I have no clue how to make that

[terse kestrel]

Vertical twisting Habs is not possible in vanilla at all. That takes a mod

[hidden raft]

Im on mac so mods are off 😭😭

I wish more angles were unlocked

[long pawn]

EEK! Don't give the devs ideas like that!!

[long pawn]

😮

[long pawn]

I finally figured out the tech slot problem with the arcadian boosters.

I forgot to confirm a previous edit. DOH! 😆

Remember always hit the P key after you are finished rebuilding a corvette, kids!

Anyways, here's my latest... The Breath of Melody. I focused on using arcadia corvette parts. I also threw in some other stuff I thought matched the theme or fit the shape of the arcadia parts .

Man, those four heavy boosters were a pain to line up wih one another. They were either too high, too low, too far forward, etc... That part of the build was definitely an exercise in patience and perseverance.

[wicked belfry]

how difficult would it be to copy a corvette to another save?

export import didnt work last i tried... just imoprts some default simple corvette

[terse kestrel]

Next expedition. Starting tomorrow

[wicked belfry]

? not talking about that. not about pre and post expedition ship copying

talking about using save editor. a custom corvette from one save to another?

[terse kestrel]

#nms-modding would be able to answer that one. I'm on vanilla Xbox and haven't used PC mods since pre Corvettes

Starting expedition with one save and claiming rewards and Corvette with another save is the only way we can do it on console.

[velvet ruin]

Wait

Since you can put exocraft geobays on corvettes

What happens if you go to the anomaly and try to summon the exocraft

[wicked belfry]

instead of implementing it into the game we get workaround tutorials 😄

its smth meme

[terse kestrel]

Before we had 3 different rotational options for base parts we had 4 years of wire glitching being our only option for angled base parts 😂

[wicked belfry]

from what ive heard HG borked alot of snapping points too

buidling is alot more annoying and tedious... frustrating even

[quaint badger]

how do we feel about leisure decks on corvettes gang

and or any feedback to improve said leisure deck

[short fractal]

Progress on tie bomber

[quaint badger]

it would appear that you are simply tying two bombs together sir

[short fractal]

@quaint badgerONe of them has a cockpit at least

[worthy mica]

how do you even get in that thing

[unborn basin]

does the corvette reshuffling thing affect the class?

[long pawn]

I like them. Never managed to get one together myself but I've seen many cool leisure decks.

[quaint badger]

this ship was immediately bricked by the all modules must be connected thing and i can't make it work so i'm now against leisure decks because of cognitive bias

[long pawn]

so i'm now against leisure decks because of cognitive bias

Hahahahahaha! That's the funniest line I've heard all week! You get a cookie! 🍪

[unborn basin]

does corvette ship class persisit after changing them?

[short fractal]

Whats the trick to use other, solid colors on corvettes pls?

[balmy cedar]

Leisure decks unobtainable?

[quaint badger]

Leisure deck machine broke

[balmy cedar]

Brutal

[quaint badger]

LEZGOOOOOOO

[golden tundra]

Yes, I have not made major changes tho.
I believe the game locks its ID to the class

[short fractal]

Tie bomber progress

[woeful prism]

For some reason my camera in game auto darkens and I don’t know how to fix it.

[golden tundra]

There must be a reset button there somewhere. I know folks can use built-in filters so there must have a reset button.

[rugged lichen]

gonna do a sound design on this ship

"Fixed an issue which caused Corvette ships to be placed in the wrong location when teleporting to a base.

does that mean wire-glitch is back?

[hidden raft]

wait, is there an external corvette tool

i managed to do a pretty precise vertical glitch through the "leave hatch and hit place window"

[terse kestrel]

I would be surprised if wire glitching for Corvettes came back in place. It's usage on Corvettes was extremely unstable.

[hidden raft]

nah i tried teleporting to a settlement and it still floats. rip

god i wish they'd just allow us to rotate hull plating freely

[bleak crow]

hi guys, new player here, is there a corvette station with good lighting

[crude ravine]

None,actually xD

you just made it first, color it, go outside and check via Photo Mode

if it's not to your liking, just adjust it again xD

[terse kestrel]

White light station with bright sunlight flooding the station build area. Giving you full 360 lighting around your ship

I'd suggest putting a base marker in this system or keeping the station on your favorites list. Brightly lit white light stations are extremely rare.

[velvet ruin]

Since you can put geobays on corvettes with mods or glitches what happens if you take them to the anomaly or a space station and try to summon the exocraft

[terse kestrel]

Any random number of things can happen. You could get thrown out of the anomaly, it could crash your game, it could work out just fine. It could work fine for you but lag out everybody around you.

Stuff like that takes testing sometimes. Finding a couple people to join you in multiplayer to see how stable it is for those around you

Even better if you can find PS4 or Xbox One players. Older gen systems that struggle to load modded Corvettes more often

[grim barn]

got nearly 8 hours on the game, is this a good corvette?

[terse kestrel]

You got a nice shape and it doesn't look like a flying brick. For the first Corvette it's not bad at all.

[grim barn]

thanks bro

[grim barn]

actually my first one was a flying brick but this is the 3rd one, I grinded for a while and got this one

[velvet ruin]

Very interesting

I may have to test whenever I get around to making modded corvettes

Maybe not on randoms in public lobbies tho especially if it causes massive lag or crashes

But if it works it would be hilarious to run around the anomaly in a minotaur

[velvet ruin]

Perhaps after some tests...

Speaking of modded corvettes, with things like the nms base builder mod and goatfungus save editor can I just like save the appearance of a Corvette somewhere? Id use this in the event the game deletes one of my corvettes again so I can just restore it

[lament nymph]

Is it normal that my Corvette went from this...

to this after the update? ; ;

[velvet ruin]

That's the default Corvette so it looks like the game reset the appearance. This has happened to me before after crashes and afaik you have to rebuild it. I'm gonna try and find a way to save corvettes to restore them in this event tho

Original looked very cool tho!

I would makea bug report

!hg

[lament abyss]

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

[lament nymph]

:c

[velvet ruin]

Ik it sucks..

If you built it legit I'd switch to creative mode to rebuild because that is a scam

First time it erased my Corvette from existence and I had to archive all my ships to get it to show back up 😞

[balmy cedar]

Did you use any mods or save edits?

I've heard that can cause that...

[abstract crow]

None of my ships have had that issue yet and I have mods/save edits

[fair pilot]

Thing that makes me crazy in corvette #45: Windows overlaps instead of forming a single shape together, removing the corners.

[fair pilot]

Not normal, but known glitch. My once went to this right after the save. Thanks HG it was a concept made in creative.

[swift mist]

corvettes are just stored in an xml format. just copy the text and save it somewhere

[lament nymph]

nop

But it's true that the game has crashed, several times...

[tough plank]

Lots of cargo.

[subtle wolf]

Initially designed for troops, but can be purposed for a number of various tasks.

[random zinc]

where can I find details on this glitch?

[tough plank]

I've got details on the floating parts glitch.

[terse kestrel]

If anything it's likely just part seed swapping or something along those lines. It's hit legacy ships for years.

You log on and suddenly your ship is a different color, has different pieces or maybe even be a different ship type altogether. Because the seed re-rolled on it

[velvet ruin]

Yeah

My freighter base's colors reset a while ago and I haven't bothered to fix it

Think it was when voyagers came out

[random zinc]

so what I really want to know is whether I'll lose my corvette if I update to 6.17

if I lose my corvette upgrading to 6.17, can I downgrade to get it back?

[fair pilot]

Why you should lose the corvette?

[random zinc]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

[fair pilot]

Ah. I'd make an export through the save editor.

[random zinc]

which is the safest save editor for this

[fair pilot]

I'm using the goatfungus

easy to use

export ship > upgrade > import back if something goes wrong.

Cargo is not export/import-able, only tech slots tho

[random zinc]

I assume based on context that corvette design is export/importable

[fair pilot]

Yep, design and tech slots

I mean, everything that is in tech too.

[random zinc]

if upgrading and then loading the save game messes up the ship, won't importing and then loading the save game messs up the ship?

[fair pilot]

Who knows.

[fair pilot]

I'd also assume that the issue is not really widespread, becuse thousand of players are NOT complaining about it.

[random zinc]

lol, so I'm back to square one with an extra potentail out 🙂

6.17 is really new though

[subtle wolf]

Say hello to the RB-10, otherwise called the "HTT" (Heavy Tactical Transport). Designed to carry up to at least 10 Troops, it's complete with a medical bay, cargo hold, crew quarters, and various necessities. This transport can double as a mobile planetary base of operations.

[random zinc]

can you actually have a group with 10 players?

[subtle wolf]

Nah but you can have ten players in one place

[random zinc]

so 4 crewmates and 6 stowaways 🙂

[terse kestrel]

Typically no. Because what's happening is the system is basically losing the ship that's already in place. What's already been generated.

When you import the backup into the file you're overwriting it's mistake with the original ship.

[random zinc]

will restoring the save file work?

[fair pilot]

May be, but they it will upgrade the save file to the current version again, so I'd rather bet on export/import.

[random zinc]

oh, so that's how it works

I agree then, but still not sure I can trust the editor. the save file is 2k smaller after using it to add one item to a cargo slot

it's probably too late to backup my design using nomansapp.com

[fair pilot]

You cannot just not upgrade the game forever, I afraid.

So backup the ship and go ahead.

[random zinc]

yeah, trying to figure out the safest way to do this. perhaps more that one save editor will give me more outs

[mild crypt]

Bro I'm stuck in my corvette

[terse kestrel]

Never really smart to use more than one save editor. You can but eventually you start having too many fingers digging around in your files and it makes it easier to screw something up yourself

[mild crypt]

I'm literally stuck and can't get out broo

Omg

Finally

I'm out

[fair pilot]

lol how

[random zinc]

well I haven't used any yet. I want to do the ship export without saving the edited save just to have more chances for recovery

[short fractal]

@random zinc for simplicity you could just periodically copy the whole save folder, and if something bad happens only then dig out the code for a ship you messed up

[trail forge]

Trading for modules->Can one offer to trade singular parts? Not the whole stacks.

[short fractal]

@trail forge couldnt you add 1 part, store the remainder of the stack elsewhere, then pick up the 1 part?

I think i misunderstood tho

[trail forge]

when selecting what to offer. lets say ive got 3 of a specifiec shield generator, it adds the whole stack without an option to offer "one of these for that bit"

i guess doing it via inventory management might be possible, will try it, guess parts would be safe on my freighter.

just seems odd that one cant split stacks when trading, i think all other shop interfaces have the option to set how many of whatever.

[hidden raft]

What tool is this?

[random zinc]

Hmm... you're right. I already back up that folder regularly.

[trail hornet]

base building app

[random zinc]

you can. I do it all the time

same keys/buttons that you normally use to do it

[sleek oasis]

Is the Corvette tech scramble bug and the landing gear always open still there?

[trail hornet]

i'm pretty sure

[shadow wraith]

Yeah

For the stock landing gear, at least

The new one still retracts, but will stay open when you use a teleporter

[abstract depot]

Anyone with a slick mini 'vette have any basic tips for building one?

[cyan nacelle]

Hey folks, I'm trying to replicate a corvette design from a guide and it has parts I'm not able to find in the parts trader, and also has parts I found via savaging. However some of those parts I found via salvaging aren't in my list of parts I can even attach to the corvette in the ship builder. Any one able to help?

[trail hornet]

are they perchance aeron parts?

[nimble stirrup]

Turn on free crafting, are you able to build with them then?

[cyan nacelle]

There were some Albatross parts, that I know for sure. I cant find those in the shop and I own some but cant use them. Im currently at work so I can't pull up the list from my pc right now. 😅

[cyan nacelle]

How do I do that? And would it effect my vanilla normal game save in any way? I've had this save since launch (I've been away from the game for years and just recently got back into it)

[nimble stirrup]

In options, there is a difficulty tab, where you can change various settings in your game. You can change them at any time, to make things easier or more difficult for yourself

[terse kestrel]

If you want a proper minivette you need to learn offsetting and rotational build methods. Being able to place reactors, weapons and other parts in the same space. Meshing together.

This one in the pic has 3 Medusa, 6 phase beams, 2 zenith reactors, and 3 boosters. One of the boosters is even facing forward because that's just where I could fit it. But it still works visually.

[abstract depot]

Wow

[terse kestrel]

Objective is to spin, twist and angle hab parts in enough directions in a single spot to create multiple snap points in the exact same position

[abstract depot]

The most I've done is half step

[cyan nacelle]

Ahah, I'll check that out tonight then, thanks!

[nimble stirrup]

Sure thing!

[terse kestrel]

Use these two methods as well. Combined with offsetting like you're already doing you can double the number of snap points in a single spot. Offsetting those snap points even more multiplies your connection points

https://youtu.be/y6Jdh3MhETw?si=rT4b3X8u5ikB1pn1

https://youtu.be/7CI8vSSACRQ?si=VQEfnDFBf3p694kH

You don't need to build your whole Corvette at a 90° angle. But just putting a Hab in place temporarily to attach stuff to it is effective

[random zinc]

is there any way to export the corvette to a file you can use for 3D printing a model of it?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah I've seen people do that with their own starships quite a few times. The modding chat probably knows of the good app for that

[velvet ruin]

Why 6 phase beams 😭 you only need 3

[terse kestrel]

While it's true that every weapon caps out on stat bonuses at 3 the phase beams multiply their damage output up to 6.

So on top of the stats it gives you the damage multiplier goes even higher

[velvet ruin]

Oh wow

Does that apply to infraknife

[shadow wraith]

No, just the phase beam

Any projectile thrower gets split on each turret, so the DPS is more or less the same

While Phase Beam just fires the whole 6 turrets at the same time

[velvet ruin]

intriguing

Also does anyone have any good tutorials for the base builder mod, especially for Corvette making?

[sweet panther]

Yo I think I did a decent Job👀

[velvet ruin]

Or where I can find some

[velvet ruin]

oh me oh my

[hidden raft]

Damn vertical stuff AND side entry AND offset AND flip

I outdid myself

I’m making a space clunker

Something from 2145

Here’s an unpopular opinion- i think fighter style doesn’t work well on vettes unless it’s a really smol boi

[wanton river]

I would agree. A corvette imo would be a medium ship type with more firepower but less maneuverability
