[long pawn]

Oh, wow... That is an astonishingly good build. I'm in awe.

Yes. It's a good corvette. I love its design. I have a similar build I'm working on. Trying to build a smaller corvette than my usual big builds.

[nocturne finch]

Hey how does one go attaching unofficial parts to the corvette? Like storage boxes

[terse kestrel]

Only way to put base parts on Corvettes now is through the base building mod. They took away the wire glitch method in the last round of updates because it was very unstable. For those who used it and players around them.

[nocturne finch]

but add tears to the eyes

[terse kestrel]

If you're on PC check out the mod chat and they'll be able to guide you on where to get the mod and how to use it

Yeah

I want my Mino to ride shotgun but .... console

[nocturne finch]

The one time i wanna glitch my corvette just a little

[random zinc]

I'm afraid not to use the corvette because unscrambling the tech slots gives me PTSD

[nocturne finch]

Thats why ive stuff my tech slots before building out my corvette

[smoky flax]

You don't have to. The corvette has its own set of storage boxes you can build inside of it.

[nocturne finch]

Im very much aware of this

[terse kestrel]

If I could have all of my storage containers shrunk down and stacked up on one of those three tier shelves that would be preferable to the Corvette storage walls

[abstract crow]

Dammit. My yacht/cruise ship got too fat...

[tough plank]

Any tips on building a HALO Phaeton?

[hidden raft]

ARE THERE LIKE DOORS

sorry

is tehre like doors on habs

[abstract crow]

No

[hidden raft]

annoying af

[trail hornet]

i wish

[tame patio]

It may be possible to make a halo 2 style with the grav lift, would involve a lot of offset glitch to at least try to get the shape. You won't be able to make the side doors without heavy glitches but at least the basics could maybe be possible. Also lots of side panels will be used probably. (Also wrong ship)

But the covenant ships are most likely more challenging than UNSC ships due to the curves they have. The larger ships could be possible.

Phaeton may be possible with the right glitches and with the speed bird side parts you can make the circles on the side work if the parts connect correctly. But I'm still a simple builder on corvettes.

[hidden raft]

standing on the side hatch on my fet vette

man gotta say i like this one

i think im gonna main it

[golden tundra]

It is perfect!
This is the thing I am focusing on my 2nd one: Hide the hab without looking a mess.
It is so clean and smooth like in-game ship 😌

[glad spade]

sir i dont think you can park you corvette there

war machine* not a corvette

[velvet ruin]

"sir.. this is a wendy's"

[hidden raft]

i fixed it a little, added another level with hab and tidied up the front

it has 3 levels - middle one is "open" because side hatches

4*

[glad spade]

😲

[sharp wing]

🤣

[obsidian harbor]

SIDE HATCH? I was talking about that yesterday and damn never thought it was possible (it makes sense that it is but never tried it)

[solid sage]

imma post new ship design i did and its crazy i ever done b4 still testing weapons placements

[fervent mist]

is anyone able to trade me the aeron blades? i missed the expedition...

[solid sage]

Well take a sneak peak 2 images the rest in #nms-showcase-corvettes

[unborn basin]

very... low quality images

[solid sage]

Using phone dnt mine that btw just look

Remember im on ps5

[fervent mist]

hey are you able to give me aeron blade flight stabalizers?

[solid sage]

Sure

[fervent mist]

thank you so much

i missed the expedtion 😭

[solid sage]

I hv every part stock up

U want 50/100/150

[fervent mist]

omg ill take 50 that is plenty

im on ps5 as well if that makes it easier to join your game

or vise versa

[solid sage]

My name used to be Mohawk Reaper but ive changed it bk as my psn gamertag

[fervent mist]

ok

[solid sage]

Getting part now out my Corvette workshop cache now

[fervent mist]

not seeing you on ps5

[solid sage]

Any other part u need since i hv all of them any specific type u running low

[fervent mist]

i like the farming, but any parts from the expedition would be awesome

since i dont have normal access to them

[solid sage]

L T R is cap the rest is lower case

Exactly how it spelled with underscore

[fervent mist]

oh gotcha

mybad

[solid sage]

Pic is Reaper scythe

[fervent mist]

im sorry man still not seeing you

could you add me? its my user

[solid sage]

Gotcha

Have the part ready

heck yeah thank you!

[storm imp]

Has anyone been able to recreate Boba Fett's ship?

[balmy cedar]

The Slave I?

[storm imp]

Yeah, or is it not possible with the way it flies?

[balmy cedar]

Sadly it's not possible (easily)

It'd take either a lot of glitching, and then it'd either be in flight mode

[trail hornet]

i've seen a few

[balmy cedar]

Or parked

[trail hornet]

they just fly weird

[balmy cedar]

I haven't seen them able to land and look right

So they're either standing

Or. Parked

Landed IG

[storm imp]

That's what I was thinking. Been trying to figure it out, and just gave up

[balmy cedar]

DW

The Hound's tooth is a possible ship...

Bossk's ship

Not sure anyone has tried the "legends," stuff

Shame disney had all that written material made by wonderful sci fi writers, and wrote it off as not canon

[sullen helm]

my star destroyer vette next to a falcon to cool to not share lol

[solid sage]

Dm me pics ill see what i can do witch not doing a glitch offset

[storm imp]

Love that image!

[storm imp]

I haven't looked into any of the legends stuff either, but they do seem plausible

[balmy cedar]

Or heck

The Razor Crest is doable

I saw a killer tutorial for it once...

If that's not Disney copyright ragebait IDK what is

[storm imp]

I've been working on recreating this off and on for a few weeks now as a side project. Earlier today, I was gifted the Aeron's corvette pieces. So now, I want to try my hand at it again

[balmy cedar]

Very nice

[storm imp]

This is what I made so far

Any tips to help would be wonderful lol

[balmy cedar]

Cool idea for a design. May I steal the inspiration and try my hand at a... Different design?

[storm imp]

Go right ahead. This is from a modpack from a game I've played since '02, Transcendence. The ships name is the "Lindworm"

[balmy cedar]

Neato

[storm imp]

I'd love to see the design when it's done!

[pseudo charm]

that whole frontage and everything gives almost iron vulture vibes. Could further modify it towards that and make it your own without the house of mouse gettin all huffy

[balmy cedar]

Hmm, True

I could make it the daddy to the Iron Vulture

[solid sage]

i added my nms friend code if anyone need any items for corvette

on my name

[balmy cedar]

Here's what I got

A little chunkier than the OG pic, and a lot slimmer than most designs

Whoops. I invented the A wing

[storm imp]

Holy crap...you are a god at making that! I'm still working out the landing pads lol

[storm imp]

I'll add you. My code is 4KRK-KPXY-N4TZJ

[balmy cedar]

A god? Nah...

Soace Pirate? Probably

[storm imp]

XD Fair enough lol

[balmy cedar]

I'll join you if you don't mind

[storm imp]

Go right ahead. I'm in a space station, and not the anomaly though

Are you able to build in the anomaly? My belief is that it's only through the space station

[solid sage]

sadly no not able to build in anomaly

yes space station

[lucid escarp]

I sow a video saying someone can make / traide those new Corvette pieces from the Holloween event. I missed them and was wondering if anyone could make me a set?

[solid sage]

What would u called this Corvette build?

[slim mauve]

hello all. i'm pretty new to NMS. i've built up a corvette. i'm noticing i've only 40 ship upgrade slots to build and add upgrades and augments. i've upgraded to B class now, but not sure that gave more slots? is there an easy way to get more slots?

[storm imp]

Honestly? That looks like a way scaled down star destroyer

[tawdry field]

add a bunch of extra modules in creative and then remove them

and you get a free slot for each module you added then removed

[storm imp]

Make sure you finalize it though before you remove it

[tawdry field]

yep

[pseudo forge]

Storage augmentation item, funds and nanites. As you go up in class your max slots go up. Although you don't automatically get them. You have to unlock them.

[solid sage]

with no offset or glitch to it

[slim mauve]

ahh. really. thats an interesting way. much appreciated i will do that. the tech bar seemed pretty tight. knowledge!

[storm imp]

When I'm done designing mine, if no one else has helped, I'll make some for you

[slim mauve]

ahh. now i understand. i saw only a small increase in stats when i went from C to B, was really hoping for more room in tech bars. more knowledge!

[pseudo forge]

Well you gonna glitch to get more slots why not just dupe storage augs?

[solid sage]

ive got sum if need augmentation upgrade for ship / freighter / exosuit

plenty to spear

[pseudo forge]

Duping is quite easy and there is no consequences for it, just so you know.

Dupe stacks of 50 engines sell for 170 or 150 million per stack.

[slim mauve]

i've seen dups in youtube vids. i did it for salvaged frieghter module just to get matter beam going for QoL inventory space. left me feeling a little dirty tbh

[lucid escarp]

dose that incress the Technology slots or Cargo slots?

[pseudo forge]

both use storage augs. Depends which one you select to increase

[lucid escarp]

im stuck at 43 tech slots. would love to use some of those for like other thech but cant haha

[pseudo forge]

When you do these expedition redux don't use the augments you get for rewards. Save them and bring them back to normal save and use on corvette.

Or any ship you want. One of easiest ways to get storage augs, at least as far as I know.

[grim barn]

thanks dude

[slim mauve]

by creative did you mean the workshop? or is there a creative mode for the game i haven't discovered yet?

[tawdry field]

go to difficulty and make crafting free

so all the corvette modules are free

[slim mauve]

ohhh. understood. much thx @tawdry field

[tawdry field]

no problem

[solid sage]

well u can do creative mode on new save or go to pause menu to option go to difficulty can adjust it then when u done can change it bk

[buoyant phoenix]

Im sure its been mentioned but are we going to get Corvette Landing Pads for bases?

[trail hornet]

no clue, i hope so tho

[buoyant phoenix]

Technically you dont need one with the hover ability but I've been stuck in the outer decorative pieces after teleporting to them because the base is on a hillside.

[tawdry field]

that would be sick

I think the thing that corvettes need right now is being able to rotate modules and maybe like free place them

and it is possible right now without mods but it would be alot better to have that feature

[solid sage]

ahhh guys/gals i did something ive never done b4

[storm imp]

whatcha do?

[solid sage]

Well im keeping this Corvette design idk what to call it so give this a name?

More different angles of this i will put in showcase

Just gonna take more pictures after tomorrow night b4 i do so this ship build parts 81 of 100 not max out in parts yet.

[storm imp]

With the wings of Aeron piece, is there a way to have it vertical, rather than horizontal?

[storm imp]

She's looking beautiful

[solid sage]

Here's a thing i thought as i go with it after thinking about halo game this took me almost 15 mins

Ive never done corvette like this b4

[solid sage]

Thks

Now it needs a name lol im not good at naming ships let yall do this one for me

[storm imp]

I'd have to take a look at it first hand. Pics don't really do a ship justice

[solid sage]

ill be taking more images or record a video of it depends witch one

[storm imp]

The thing I wish for, is the ability to select every piece, and move them up several blocks so it's much easier to work on the bottom

[short fractal]

Any suggestions for these spots?

Also I have watched many videos but still dont understand how to turn a corvette part into a solid color

[mild robin]

Incredible video showcase
https://youtu.be/VX-0RK4JjTk?si=jXWZ4z20UOX8cQil

[storm imp]

did you make these?

[mild robin]

It was from a community showcase lots of good ideas for builds

[storm imp]

Gotcha, it's well done

[mild robin]

Yeah I liked the presentation I just watched the full video, super exciting

[solid sage]

Not as good but what u think of this

[cursive marten]

I have installed Thunderbird class landing bay, it keeps breaking my game, is it just me or is it a known bug?

[storm imp]

How's it breaking

[cursive marten]

I keep falling off the ship

[storm imp]

Not sure what to call it, but it looks amazing!

[storm imp]

Does it happen when you're trying to get into the ship, or when do you fall off?

[cursive marten]

When i lock the door and try to walk over it

Or trying to getting in using the door like an elevator.

When editing interiors

And sometimes I glitch into the space station when I am trying to exit the ship

So basically all the interactions with the bay

It was so cool 😭 but I had switch out to normal landing bay

[glass surge]

I have a Thunderbird exit on my main and i'm not having that issue but you should report it with the specifics to hg

!hg

[lament abyss]

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

[cursive marten]

Alright

[storm imp]

With the abassador, thunderbird, and titan interiors, is there a way to mix and match the crew births, different windows, and other things that change, depending on the type of interior?

[granite sage]

Is it true you can land a corvette on a planet and put base decorations on the exterior?

[grim barn]

guys im gonna add a main engine to my corvette, which one is best?

[modest rapids]

I want to make this but I don't know the bugs (not mine) someone here made it can't find the op

[hidden raft]

Ngl, this is how i feel about my latest vette

[hidden raft]

Bruv where are you building this?

[tranquil hedge]

nms base app on nexus mods

import and export base from the game to the app, scale rotate move stuffs freely

[hidden raft]

does it allow things for corvettes not achieavable in the game?

anyone has a weird ass build made with this? 😄

[remote crypt]

95% of the mech builds will have used blender

[hidden raft]

so there's a blender - to - NMS pipeline? modded i assume

[remote crypt]

Yes

[hidden raft]

naaaah

[remote crypt]

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984

[hidden raft]

i'm not doin that 😄

now this is something i plan to main

even the underside turned ok. i've hit 100 part limit 🙂

[hidden raft]

still don't like how the third hyperdrive generator sticks out. might add two in the back bottom next to habs instead

I spent way too many hours on this lmao

[cursive marten]

so i have upgraded my corvette's class and storage, if i swap my current corvette with new design from different hanger, what will have to all the storage and nanites that i have spent on the current ship?

[grim barn]

i am a beginner, is this a good corvette?

[hidden raft]

yes

[hidden raft]

what is good

do you like it?

then it's good

[grim barn]

yh

[grim barn]

thanks dude

[hidden raft]

fixed underside, i think this is cleaner

[grim barn]

nice

[cursive marten]

so they will be lost?

[hidden raft]

they're specific to the corvette you're working on, each corvette is a unique ship - you can have more than one corvette

you can change up the design completely

but it needs to be the same corvette

[cursive marten]

alright thanks

[twin jay]

is this cool corvette ?

[golden tundra]

I use that Thunderbird lift exit more than anything 🤣, no issues. I'm on console.

[hidden raft]

if it's cool to you, it's cool. i prefer non-fighter corvettes, this one is sort of in between

[cursive marten]

ig it's a problem with my build/PC

i have 2 exits btw, one near cockpit at the front(thunderbird) and one at the back end

[twin jay]

it doesnt look like fighter corvette for me atleast

[cursive marten]

i think it looks a fighter as well

a delta wing fighter lowkey

[twin jay]

yeah, maybe slightly

[fair pilot]

It is.
But the goodness of the corvette has to be decided by you. If you like it - it is good.

[grim barn]

ight thanks dude

[fair pilot]

You welcome.
I'm the victim of this, btw. Even if other players like my corvette, I often still don't like it. So my corvettes are going through the countless rebuilds and adjustments.

Or, in other words, building the corvette is not a single-time event or process with a specific timeline, but a way that you have to accept.

Ship of Sisyphus

[fair pilot]

I'm pretty satisfied with the one I'm using now 🙂

[grim barn]

i see

[balmy cedar]

So Magellan's ship?

[terse kestrel]

I feel the wall has been hit aesthetically. Waiting for more parts to drop to be more creative because I'm just recycling previous build ideas and concepts.

[hidden raft]

Yes i agree

[twin jay]

if you dont mod, yes it is the wall for you.I still dont recommend modding, it can corrupt your save and makes game unstable and laggy

[terse kestrel]

Hot take:

The most creative Corvette builders are those who don't use any mods, glitches, offsetting or rotating. Because the more tools you're using the easier you're making it. You're removing barriers.

But people who don't use any of these tricks are still creating gorgeous Corvettes while working completely within the barriers and mechanics of the vanilla game. They're not just allowed to break all the walls and bypass all the restrictions. They have to work within the confines of those walls and restrictions to create something nice.

It's the same with Base building.

[twin jay]

I agree, people who know how to build really good without insane modding and glitch building, and building within game barriers, they are the best builders

[swift mist]

looks like the only trick to that one is building with offsets

[velvet ruin]

Though, there is a certain art to glitch building

[terse kestrel]

The only glitch or trick that I'm seeing is the 90° rotate. It doesn't look like it's been offset or rotated 180 anywhere

[velvet ruin]

Modding definitely takes away a lot of the difficulty, but knowing how to perform glitch techniques and which ones to use in this way or that without a video tutorial is very impressive

Do we discredit the work of an artisan because their tools are greater in number and power?

[swift mist]

??

[terse kestrel]

I use glitch building heavily. So I'm not just railing against it because I can't do it

[swift mist]

where is the 90 degree part at

[velvet ruin]

But, ultimately, it comes down to how you want to play the game because this game is great and you can play however you want

[terse kestrel]

At first I was thinking it was the side cowling but that's not it. I'm not sure they actually used any tricks on that.

[velvet ruin]

There are some really cool things you just can't do without some glitches, like making perfect circles or low orbit bases

[swift mist]

they did

just offsets

[modest rapids]

I do with bases just need to figure out the merge there's two slopes on that one

[terse kestrel]

I don't think low orbit bases really are much of a glitch. It's just somebody realizing that your base doesn't have to be attached to the ground anywhere.

[twin jay]

there is 100 part limit for a reason, people often make insanely large corvettes that ruin multiplayer experience for other players.it can be really bad if you go into anomally lobby with giant executor

[terse kestrel]

Like anybody who played Minecraft would not be surprised finding that out in no man's sky

[velvet ruin]

Well, the method (at least the older methods) to get the base computer in the sky feels pretty glitchy

[velvet ruin]

That's fair yeah

[terse kestrel]

This is the biggest factor. You can be the best Corvette builder in the world but if you're knowingly impacting other people around you you're just a schmuck

[velvet ruin]

You can make some awesome things with mods but please don't take them to the anomaly in multiplayer if they're huge 😭🙏

[velvet ruin]

maybe devs will just make your Corvette not render if it's over a certain threshold

[terse kestrel]

People who take those into the anomaly will tell you that it's mostly just decorative parts. So it doesn't really mess up anybody's game. And it's just fine.

[swift mist]

these parts look offset

[terse kestrel]

"It's just decorative parts bro"

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

[twin jay]

thats exactly why I have a problem with those corvettes

[hoary agate]

And thats why i play offline since corvettes update.

[velvet ruin]

Like maybe if your Corvette has over 150 structural parts and/or over like 500 deco parts or smth and you go to the anomaly the game just won't render it on their screens or it will disable your multiplayer

not sure how many deco parts is laggy

Alternatively add a setting to disable other people's corvettes for you

[twin jay]

biggest minus of corvette update...

[terse kestrel]

The worst part about it is that guy's ship is one I've already seen three or four times before.

They're literally just ordering a modded Vette from the service bot and standing next to it in the anomaly for aura

[velvet ruin]

The undercover hello games employee sitting in the anomaly and watching people's corvettes come in dying in a nuclear blast as their computer explodes due to the 1:1 scale replica of the death star flying into the anomaly:

[twin jay]

hello games needs to do something about those corvettes, they are getting out of the control

[terse kestrel]

Like it's perfectly okay to kidnap those people from the anomaly and take them with you. You're doing the community of service by taking their ship out of there

Hovering over a volcano and summoning your Corvette somewhere else so that they fall in it are just bonus points

[velvet ruin]

Lol

[terse kestrel]

Better hope they have a strong heat shield 👀

Should put that on the list of things for the next order from the service bot.

[velvet ruin]

😭

Kidnapping service is crazy

[hard fjord]

That's very unfortunate...
This is why a sharing mechanism isn't a good idea. 😅

[terse kestrel]

That would be great if the service bot could be used to just Shanghai people with crazy Corvettes from the anomaly. Dump them off in the Calypso Galaxy

[twin jay]

service bot is only good for taxi, definitely not good for corvettes

[terse kestrel]

It's one of those tools that make me worried for LNF tbh

Like is HG just going to let everybody play the system in LNF like we are in NMS from day one?

[twin jay]

I wonder if release of LNF will kill nms, I hope that this wont happen

[terse kestrel]

This stuff came over time. It slowly happened as the game grew in popularity and usage. But allowing those things from day one is usually not a healthy start for a game

It's why Devs cut off mod support in sequels even though the first game had it. And don't release mod support till later down the road.

[terse kestrel]

I honestly don't think LNF will ever reach the popularity of No Man's SKy. Everything about the game and it's release has been niche and unique to any other game.

The disastrous launch is what created such strong loyalty. Dedicated people who stuck with it all those years.

It's crazy to think of but if no man's Sky had come out polished I don't think it would have had the longevity it's had.

[twin jay]

people would get bored really quick, sadly hello games dont care that much about loyal player base and cares more about new players

[small plaza]

Is that a fucking executor

[twin jay]

yes

[terse kestrel]

Not wrong. They're always focused on gaining new players because they know the old ones will keep coming back with each update.

[twin jay]

I am still waiting for them to make servers more stable and to fix glitches

nms without any glitches would be perfect

thats a dream of every loyal player

[balmy cedar]

OK

But what if they voluntarily enter my ship?

[balmy cedar]

They'd need to cut old gen support

[terse kestrel]

That would require ripping the procedural generation engine out of the game and just hand building everything to replace it 😂

[velvet ruin]

Just blame the atlas

[terse kestrel]

Nms is like a giant bike wheel spinning at a thousand miles an hour. Randomly creating whatever it feels like in the moment.

Imagine trying to put a stick between two exact spokes where you want it to be while it's spinning. That's the Devs updating this game.

P like people want proper water physics. Water generation points and flowing rivers. But to do that they would need to create water sources.

You'd have water generating from the middle of the sky if they did that 😂

[velvet ruin]

You are a space explorer venturing into uncharted space, finding things never before seen. It's to be expected that something ought to go wrong along the way

[twin jay]

they could stop releasing a new updates for a while and focus on repairing glitches

[obsidian trench]

i dont know where i am or what to do here bit i feel like im going to get murdered by a sith

[velvet ruin]

How long is a while tho? And what glitches? Does this include glitch building?

[fair pilot]

half-block offset.

[velvet ruin]

peculiar Corvette I must say

[swift mist]

i know they are lol. im replying to someone asking what tricks were used to build it

[fair pilot]

ah

[twin jay]

Not talking about glitch building, I am talking about glitches that ruin gameplay

[fair pilot]

confirming - I see only offset there, no rotations.

[glass surge]

then take to #no-mans-sky

[obsidian trench]

got the captured nanode not a clue its purpase tho but i got it

[velvet ruin]

Ah I see

[velvet ruin]

Very nice, but I think this is the wrong channel

This is for talking about corvette class starships

[obsidian trench]

oops just now realized

[velvet ruin]

No worries haha

-# five years in prison

[hidden raft]

can't decide which ass, the first one has less thrusters but the issue is "beams" come out of nowhere. second one i added thrusters so beams come out the right way. (also added fat kino thrusters to keep them inline)

profile looks a bit more industrial, gritty looking

[violet swallow]

Those extra beams is because you used a thruster somewhere inside the structure, cant turn those off

Seeing the 3rd picture its the landing gear, that type counts both as landing gear and side thrusters

Might want to move them out so you know where the beams comes or replace them

[hidden raft]

yeah that's the issue, that's why added the square on the backk so they "line up" with the truster

[terse kestrel]

The pains of a mini corvette.

So what if my starship trail is coming out of a cowling?

[violet swallow]

Makes sense

[hidden raft]

at least it comes from the thruster now 😄

[terse kestrel]

I just ignore it.

Like I ignore my phasers shooting at each other

[hidden raft]

not out of nowhere

[terse kestrel]

I call this Corvette the Todd Howard

[hidden raft]

😄 looks like someone stepped on a buggy

[terse kestrel]

"It just works"

[terse kestrel]

I revamped that thing though. It now has six phase beams, three medusa, three zenith and the three boosters. Better hidden

[hidden raft]

there's an arcardia booster in there

[terse kestrel]

The forward boosters get it headlights

[hidden raft]

i'm sort of leaning towards the extra boosters for now

gives it a more industrial look

easy to remove anyway

also with manuevarabilty stat 3,8k, fits the stats

[terse kestrel]

That's the sweet spot

[hidden raft]

kinda looks good upfront lol

[violet swallow]

Looks like a car (in the good way, cool shape!)

[hidden raft]

im going to the anomaly to flaunt my new corvette

3617u/s space speed is still pretty meh

boosted

[violet swallow]

Meh?!

That is really good!

Oh wait, thats what you get of you redirect power?

[terse kestrel]

That's how I managed to fit all three zenith reactors in there. You can see the corners sticking out. That's actually three in one spot at different directions 😂

Forward, backwards and 90° left

[hidden raft]

yes

idk why, i tried rerolling for good manueverabilty stats

[hidden raft]

damn lol nice one

[violet swallow]

Have you also put together the modules and used SC?

[terse kestrel]

Our ships have a maximum visual speed that they travel at in space and on planets. Past that the numbers in our cockpit are just flavor text

[violet swallow]

Now thats a recipie for summoning a singularity (concidering those engines are for hypertube range)

[violet swallow]

Ye i get at 386u/s in atmosphere with 2,400 manuverability, i think more than this is overkill and just flexing of a bigger number

[hidden raft]

idk i have one ship that does 500 and you can see it

[abstract crow]

God, my space yacht/cruise ship is looking ugly as all hell. But hopefully some decor and base parts will polish the exterior appearance a little.

[violet swallow]

Yeah but the more stuff you add the more laggy can get

[terse kestrel]

Just don't look at the mess behind the curtain 😭

[hidden raft]

is that a hatch

behind a curtain

[violet swallow]

I hate that thing of the zenith engine sticks out

Wish it was flat

[hidden raft]

YES.

so much

[terse kestrel]

It's the opulent tapestry

You can walk through it while having it placed vertically

[lament notch]

new vette

[terse kestrel]

This is how I separate the access ramp from the cockpit and keep it open on the end. 1 min into this video

https://youtu.be/vqVlRpCOkQA?si=DSjW83pVxB2LhEL_

This how you get the tapestry to float properly between hab in the doorway. You can do it with any carpet or poster too

[hidden raft]

Why the carpet tho

[velvet ruin]

Can you walk through it

[twin jay]

I also use similar thing in my corvette

[terse kestrel]

Yeah it's just a visual asset. No physical collision to it

[terse kestrel]

Well that red one is the hanging tapestry. It's just hard to hang unless you have something behind it. The carpets are just another option so you don't have to use just the one tapestry visual

[chilly moss]

I haven't messed with a corvette since the expedition- can you swap out build pieces on one after it's complete and flying or once it's done it's done?

[trail hornet]

yeah you can make edits whenever really

as long as it's docked in a space station

[chilly moss]

Thanks

Feels like a corvette is the optimal way to farm corvette parts so i was thinking about making a mini for just that and editing later

[trail hornet]

yeah thats smart

[fair pilot]

This is the way.

[solid sage]

what next image of ship anyone have in mind for me to make a corvette?

[terse kestrel]

@tall escarp
https://youtu.be/y6Jdh3MhETw?si=EiTnFBVLNWJsbuZb

https://youtu.be/OviTjOwAfp8?si=-r4Gz_TpTxtl12v9

These two videos will explain how to do those tricks. They are super simple to do and can really help expand your build like you're wanting to do

[tall escarp]

Alright thank you a ton

[velvet ruin]

Offset building so powerful fr

And backwards stuff lets you cram more stuff into small spaces it's great

[hidden raft]

Offset in general allows you to clip a bunch of shit into place

[hidden raft]

There’s 10 boosters on this photo

[velvet ruin]

Any tips, btw, for how I can put holographic displays on the outside of the cockpit and have it look nice? I can generally get the positions right but then the metal bar at the bottom is just sitting there and it's ugly

[cursive bobcat]

Is normal that after using the bot app i crash?

Im on ps4

It says succesful delivery but nope

and my ship is still there

[abstract depot]

Is there any kind of cap on stat buffs from parts?

[random zinc]

three

[abstract depot]

Three parts?

[random zinc]

yeah, after three, you won't get them in the tech slots

[abstract depot]

Three of any part whatsoever

Ah

[random zinc]

no three of a given type of stat-boosting part

[abstract depot]

Oh ok

[abstract depot]

Are phase beams still additive up to six?

[random zinc]

note that reactors are each considered a separate type of part while thrusters are all a single type of part

phase beams are weird in that they fire from up to 6 weapon points on the corvette

so all 6 don't need to be phase beams

[abstract depot]

So you can have three Medusa and three of something else

[random zinc]

but they still fire from all of them

[abstract depot]

Huh

[random zinc]

the cockpit counts as a medusa reactor so it depends on which three you apply first

[abstract depot]

So three cyclotron and three phase beams will shoot six of each when toggled?

Those were the only weird additive ones on Corvette iirc

[random zinc]

so if you want 3 medusa boosts, then install 3 medusa reactors before cockpit

[random zinc]

the weapons will fire from all six, but the compounding effect will only manifest for phase beams which fires all six at the same time

I think the individual "bullets" of the cyclotron don't all come at the same time

unlike the plasma beam

[abstract depot]

Ah ok

[random zinc]

but I could be wrong

as I can't fit one on my corvette 🙂

[abstract depot]

I'm trying to figure out how to upgrade my midsize smuggler ship. It's got three weapons but they and the reactors stick out a bit too much

[random zinc]

I'm still tempted to remove the infraknife. Not sure it's worth taking 6 slots

[terse kestrel]

Offsetting, rotating and manipulating where your snap points are allow you to jam a lot of stuff into small Corvettes easily

[random zinc]

some people glitch them together and hide the mess in a structural plating part

[terse kestrel]

https://youtu.be/y6Jdh3MhETw?si=NG5b_TgrPfbmXVdK

https://youtu.be/OviTjOwAfp8?si=gSoIHogwX7dYeGoG

[random zinc]

I do glitch two pairs of reactors together, but that's it. I'm afraid of an update destroying my corvette. Such a thing might convince me to stop playing altogether

[terse kestrel]

Those blue lights are the corners of zenith hyperdrive reactors. There's three of them in that exact spot. One facing forward, when facing backwards and one out of 90° angle to the left.

[random zinc]

I offset 2 wing pieces and 2 aerofoil looking pieces so they center better, and I use the temporary snap point technique/glitch to build above the landing bay

[abstract depot]

That's my current setup. I've got a Medusa glitched into the tube rotating one, and two of those on each side. Which I now realize is excessive for what it gives you

[random zinc]

tube rotating = ceto?

[abstract depot]

And like eight engines or something lol

[random zinc]

I have 8 thrusters also for the looks (since only 3 count)

My ship is wide, so it looks kinda off with only three thrusters

I don't really like the ceto reactors because they're so huge and also because spamming sodium means I don't really need extra shield strength. I have one of those ion shields, but it's for the looks although I do have to contend with the tech part

come to think of it, all the shield parts (including ceto reactors) are eyesores to my mind

If the ion shield I had didn't merge itself into nearby parts, I'd probably do without. As it is, it does add a nice bit of roundness

[terse kestrel]

Phase beam ftw

[analog river]

Can someone tell me some tips and some tricks for advanced corvette building? I’ve been looking around tik tok and google for a while, thanks :]

Fire ship! Right?….

[terse kestrel]

https://youtu.be/Dfdj2-5yq_s?si=x2oG8qndSeDeo5Sw

Those four right there will expand your build capabilities well beyond what you're already doing.

Suggest just doing the offsetting and 180 turns for now. Once you get the hang of those start doing your 90° and verticals

[abstract crow]

Every ship I build I always start with the same hab glitch ship build to begin. Even if I don't end up doing anything with it.

[terse kestrel]

I set up 4 offset hab floating above my build before I start. With a 180 in the middle. If I need any of those angles I just build it down into the ship.

Then I have a 90°, rotated 90° and an offset 90° over to the side in case I need those.

And I think it's dumb we have to do stuff like that. We should just be able to move pieces where we want them

[analog river]

Thanks 🙂

[fair pilot]

I'm very sorry, but we barely can see anything on these screenshots 🙁

[storm imp]

I was afraid of that due to the planet. I'll delete the post, and find better lighting

[velvet ruin]

try using your computer's built in screenshot function in photomode (if youre on computer), it produces better quality results

[storm imp]

Rather than the one that's built in?

[velvet ruin]

yeah

while in photomode

screenshot

win+shift+s or print screen or whatever

tends to be higher quality than photomode itself

[storm imp]

I'll try that. Thanks!

[velvet ruin]

ofc! :D

[storm imp]

And then would I post it here, or is there a dedicated chanel for it?

[velvet ruin]

for corvettes you can post them here or #nms-showcase-corvettes

there should be a pin in one of the community content channels that details where to send your images

[storm imp]

@velvet ruin Is this any better?

[velvet ruin]

oh much better

cool corvette btw

[storm imp]

Thank you. I can't help but feel like something is missing with it though. That, and that the design might have been created before lol

[long pawn]

I really like it! Good job!

[storm imp]

Thank you!!

[long pawn]

You're welcome. Hmmmm... if you're looking for suggestions, how about adding some navigation lights like ships and airplanes have? Like the ones which look like pills?

[storm imp]

I'll have to unlock that recipe. But I can see where it would benefit from that

[long pawn]

Yeah, your ship is really cool. I would not mess with anything major; but, if you are itching to do some more fiddling with it, a few cosmetic additions to customize it would be a good way to go.

Lights, numbers, letters, decals, etc... There must be dozens of things you could do without needing toi rebuild your corvette. I look forward to version 3.0. 😄

[storm imp]

I'll keep you posted on that! And I take it, most of those blueprints can be learned on the anomaly?

[long pawn]

Oooooooooo! I love what you did with the reactors and the landing bay. You should be proud of what you've built so far! 5 stars!

[long pawn]

Yeppers!

[storm imp]

Do we ever get typical ladders, or are stairs the only means to go up and down in a corvette?

[limpid plaza]

Stairs are all I've seen, I spent 10 minutes trying to find ladders

Can you put teleporters in a corvette?

[marsh night]

You can build them but can’t actually link them without glitches

[limpid plaza]

Damn

[storm imp]

Bummer we can't use the thunderbird landing pad as a means to move between levels. Would make my ship feel a whole lot like home

[limpid plaza]

are there any doors?

I cant think of a way to connect these habs without a billion stairs

[hardy oracle]

Openings are generated automatically between habs, but there are no doors or openings you can place manually.

[limpid plaza]

Ugh, these habs are only connected through 1 square

on top of each other

[storm imp]

I saw a video of someone using a glitch to have an open space, but the corvette was really thick. Used the titan landing pad for it

lemme see if I can find it again

[limpid plaza]

Yea mine are are just 1x2s

3 on top of each other

[terse kestrel]

https://youtu.be/vqVlRpCOkQA?si=4ILlXyHR4MneYvfj

The hab separation technique is one minute into that video

[storm imp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXGXAK4UP80 Found this video. Not the one I saw though

[storm imp]

That's the video I was thinking of

[stone gull]

Hai I am sharon

[terse kestrel]

After you open up that space if you half offset your cockpit back towards the open door getting in and out of your ship is super simple

[balmy cedar]

Fancy

[limpid plaza]

Thats cool!

[balmy cedar]

I learned that you can have more than 1 cockpit today

[terse kestrel]

Dude every Corvette ends up being a damn crash pad. I can't help myself

[balmy cedar]

But only one will actually be usable

[limpid plaza]

My main corvette rn is just one I copied from YT

[balmy cedar]

Any ship's a ship

[limpid plaza]

Its a nice starting one

[terse kestrel]

When it comes down to it the tricks used to offset, rotate and manipulate some of these Corvette builds can't even be called glitch building. And they are super simple to pull off

Only takes a minute to learn and a few seconds to do it over and over yourself

[storm imp]

How'd you figure that out?

[hardy oracle]

Wise words

[balmy cedar]

By placing them

[terse kestrel]

But it usually throws up a double cockpit error

[limpid plaza]

I also copied this one from YT but this is one im trying to make work rn

[balmy cedar]

Nice

[limpid plaza]

Thats so cool!

[balmy cedar]

Here's my version of the same ship

Mad Nox rocks

[limpid plaza]

Im sad I missed the atlas parts

My entire character is Atlas themed

[terse kestrel]

What if the ship is a restaurant?

[balmy cedar]

Same thing

My ship is a bar so IDK

Oh yeah

I made the Ebon Hawk

Pics to be posted later

[storm imp]

Can I open a tab with you?

[limpid plaza]

I wanna make this one feel "lived in" but Im just now realising I dont have any BPs because I spent the first 150 hours of this save just roaming with my freighter

[terse kestrel]

That shot is the biggest load of shenanigans I have ever accomplished in this game.

It has no right existing but it does

Show that to an nms player from 5 years back 😂

[limpid plaza]

lol

This is my main one

[terse kestrel]

Oh I don't main that thing. Literally built like a bistro but flies like a steakhouse 😂

[storm imp]

Now I wanna know what it smells like

[terse kestrel]

Gek lotion and groupie sweat

[storm imp]

That does smell like fine dining!

[limpid plaza]

I did it

🙂

[storm imp]

It looks amazing! What does the rest of the craft look like?

[limpid plaza]

This @storm imp

[storm imp]

Oh! I see the deck now. Man, that is a lovely sight!!

When it's done, I would love to take a tour later tonight? See how you did it?

[limpid plaza]

So I actually ended up changing my habs around because I realised when I was replacing it that they didnt really make sense

now there 3 stacked up with a window on the end

Im gonna trying to find a mod now because im at 100/100

[limpid plaza]

Sure whats your Friend code?

[storm imp]

4KRK-KPXY-N4TZJ

[limpid plaza]

Also I did copy the build from youtube, im just changing it for my tastes

added

[storm imp]

same!

[storm imp]

Even though it's a copy of YouTube, what you do with it after makes it your own. There were multiple X-wing fighters, multiple Enterprise-class ships, and multiple factory-produced ships out there. But every captain has a way of making it their own vessel

[limpid plaza]

Yea, in games with building I usually copy a shell from YT or reddit then make the inside myself

[storm imp]

I can point you to one that allows for an unlimited amount of corvette build. But it was recently broken with this last update

[limpid plaza]

I found one on the nexus

It doubles it which is enough for me

[limpid plaza]

I suck at the designing part of the ship, but im good at small details

[storm imp]

Fair enough. I always add the windows after I finalize so it doesn't count towards that max. Adding after the corvette is finalilzed doesn't do anything unless you go into the corvette builder. And then everything attached (including base parts) count towards it

[storm imp]

So am I lol. Took me several hours to build the one I have now

[limpid plaza]

This is what I use 90% of the time now right now, my current one is a WIP

[storm imp]

Sleek, fast, and has a punch. It looks like it has plenty of interior space too

[limpid plaza]

Yea, I havent done anything other than add some lights so far

I just started playing the game again a couple weeks ago

[storm imp]

same here lol

[limpid plaza]

I came back for corvettes ngl

and its chill af

[storm imp]

It really is. Even the enemies are easy to deal with. A pain, yes, but only a flesh wound

[limpid plaza]

They really are lmao, my staff does like 30k dps

Neutron cannon go brrrrr

[storm imp]

Not mine, not yet at least lol. But I may keep mine low to always give myself a challenge, and that sense of danger

[acoustic bay]

I redid a ship design I still like, so the ramp is much closer to the ground and also won’t require a ton of stairs. I may still remove the top bit, as it’s just decorative and obstructs the 3rd person view. Last image is the sketch I made of this design (minor tweaks while building it)

And I wonder if I can make it sleeker than it currently is

[ebon hatch]

I'm really enjoying building ships. Part of me enjoys the grind and seeing my build evolve as I get find new parts. The other parts wants to say 'screw it!' and just go into creative mode.

[acoustic bay]

I’m doing my experiments in a creative save, but I do enjoy finding something I like with the survival limitations. Creative is me testing the waters (I just want a tall ship lol)

[balmy cedar]

I play on Relaxed

[acoustic bay]

I wish the short range teleporters worked on corvettes 😭

[balmy cedar]

I have one beloved ship I keep coming back to

A blue and white Halo Pelican

[acoustic bay]

That looks cool!

[balmy cedar]

Thx

It goes a ridiculous distance in LY

1500 give or take

[acoustic bay]

Oh, that’s so nice

I still use my trusty solar in my main save 😅

[balmy cedar]

And it's small enough it doesn't have the same slowness that plagues other corvettes

Literally, it's 2 small habs, a long and a cockpit with extras

Y'know I might be crazy I realize

I build the ship around hab

[ebon hatch]

I do too, because I like the smaller corvettes. I have two habs stacked on top of each other. My only wish is that the cargo fixture was smaller and we had ladders that could be flush to the walls.

Oh and we could actually sit/lay on the beds and the little seat at the kitchen.

[terse kestrel]

Big Corvettes are fun to build. Minivettes are a lifestyle choice.

[ebon hatch]

Minivettes. I like that.

[terse kestrel]

That's my warper with 3500ly

[ebon hatch]

I do want to try my hand at a big build though once I get a ton of parts or over in creative.

Ooh its cute 🙂

[terse kestrel]

Backward dynamos make the perfect headlights

[ebon hatch]

I may have to steal that design to tinker with

[terse kestrel]

The cockpit is detached from the hab. And the hab/access ramp is in the rear

If you use 180° flip, 90° angle and offset you can fit a lot in ther

[ebon hatch]

Nice! I'm actually watching a video about that. I love those little building tricks

[viral pivot]

finally did it

[keen salmon]

Hey is there any way to get the sloped parts on the sides?

[balmy cedar]

I like small functional corvettes

Some are for fun tho

[velvet ruin]

we all need a small functional corvette and then a huge capital ship

[balmy cedar]

And stolen from youtube

[balmy cedar]

Yup

The Starduster (the big one with plants) and the Pelican

[velvet ruin]

i might go all out and use the base builder mod to make my big capital corvette, so i can have a minotaur bay and giant hatch in the back so i can titanfall onto the planet

[balmy cedar]

Nice

[velvet ruin]

and a big open command room type deal

[balmy cedar]

I grew up with gundam

We just called it planet-fall

[velvet ruin]

my minotaur is basically a gundam 😭

or im truning it into one

[balmy cedar]

Nice

[velvet ruin]

once i get the rest of the liquidator parts its obver

but i got cheeky with some mods and save editing to make it... a bit stronger than normal

[balmy cedar]

It's Joever?

Sorry...

[velvet ruin]

(every slot is supercharged and its noticably faster now)

[balmy cedar]

Had to say that once in my life

[balmy cedar]

Ahh save editing

[velvet ruin]

biden blast

[balmy cedar]

The good old Billy Mitchell method

[velvet ruin]

the only thing i did there was change the seeds of the upgrades to the best seeds but idk how much that actually did

[balmy cedar]

Gotcha

[velvet ruin]

anyways

[velvet ruin]

my current main functional corvette is Onyx Star

can you tell that i just finished the breach expedition when i made this 😭

[storm imp]

That looks really good. Is going up the stairs a nuisance?

[storm imp]

Looks great! How long did that take you to complete?

[acoustic bay]

First version was, it was much taller and I thought I could get the teleporters to work. This one just requires a short jet pack up and two sets of stairs lol
Lemme see if I can find where I initially posted the first version

[viral pivot]

3 days solely because I didn’t have the parts so I had to keep hitting salvage containers each time I ran out lol

[storm imp]

And a way to put the small Corvette in the capital ship and create our own fighter squadrons

[acoustic bay]

@storm imp for version one! #nms-showcase-corvettes message

[velvet ruin]

fr tho

[viral pivot]

Are there interior seats other players can use

[storm imp]

I like the design! Though your build reminds me of the original teen titans T base, just upside-down

[storm imp]

It looks really sleek. I like how you were able to get the slant just right that everything is flush. I can only imagine all the hair pulls that took to complete

[storm imp]

Are those wings on a 45 angle?

[velvet ruin]

which ones?

[viral pivot]

Triangle bro it all comes down to triangles stacked on each other and flipped sideways 🤣

[storm imp]

The top 2. Or is it just the angle the photo was taken? Because with those parts, I can see a really good tri-fighter drone being built around a singular hab with the Titan cockpit

[velvet ruin]

nothing is at a 45 degree angle sadly, just perspective. here are some more angles from the back and the top

[viral pivot]

That looks sickkkk

[velvet ruin]

thanks!

[storm imp]

It's trippy to look at lol. I can see how the pieces are placed, and understand the angles those are at, but my mind is refusing to believe that they should look that good together. Whatever you did was some sort of wizardry

[viral pivot]

There’s a couple other things I want to do it but I just don’t have the parts and don’t want to grind anymore 🤣

[storm imp]

That looks highly similar to mine #nms-corvette-discussion message

[storm imp]

And just as awesome!!

[storm imp]

I know the feeling lol. I can see about grabbing you some

[viral pivot]

The pyramids on top make it look like the monoliths

[velvet ruin]

Oh yeah lol

[viral pivot]

You are atlas

[velvet ruin]

Yours is a bit wider and more jagged

[storm imp]

The ship was built with the name "death to the nomad" so I changed it to "death becomes Atlas"

[storm imp]

Yeah, not as sleek. But both equally something I wouldn't wanna come across in a hostile environment

[storm imp]

I would love to test that out for ya too

[long pawn]

You can? How?

[balmy cedar]

I learned I was wrong

MB

Scroll down a MSG or 2 from that...

[storm imp]

On the multitool and corvette, is there a way to change how the devices are set? Like, on my corvette, it's the pulse, missle, lazer. And I want it to be pulse, lazer, missle when scrolling

[terse kestrel]

No it's all preset based on which weapons you have

[storm imp]

Well, that's no fun!

[terse kestrel]

Had to break reactor adjacency to get it under 4k. But it controls a lot better now

Maybe 4k+ maneuverability is good for big corvettes. But it makes small ones jittery

[storm imp]

How bad was the jitter?

[urban glade]

How do yall get those sharp cool looking parts 😭

[swift mist]

if you're talking about the black parts with red LED strips, those are rewards from the Breach expedition

Breach expedition has their blueprints as rewards. it'll be available again dec 31 - jan 13

the parts themselves can be crafted and traded to other players

[urban glade]

Ye

[urban glade]

O
Alr

[wet tree]

is it good

[flat current]

Thats a pirate freightor. Yes

[tame patio]

The ship Infront is the corvette but it doesn't take up much of the screen.

[bleak crow]

that looks so good, I'd love to see a youtube video of this being put together, very creative

[velvet ruin]

If I make a big modded Corvette with the base builder mod (not much over the normal complexity limit tho so I don't brick people's games), what can I do in the game to put a little effort in and make it feel a little more like I actually earned the corvette (besides farming corvette parts for 2 hours)?

[abstract crow]

I really need corvette doors for this yacht design to look better.

[restive oxide]

i was building a corvette and i just realised i need to move the ship a bit forward, is there any way to do that?

[terse kestrel]

Tapestry?

[terse kestrel]

Piece by piece. No way to move all at once

[restive oxide]

oh

[abstract crow]

Can't walk through the wall of the hab with tapestry. I need to get outside.

[terse kestrel]

Oh a side wall

[restive oxide]

not even like deploy and rebuild?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah no way to cheese those to stay open like the end ones

[terse kestrel]

Nah. Won't be able to select more than one part at once or shift multiple parts as a whole

[remote crypt]

Why do you need to do that?

[restive oxide]

so the corvette isnt able to edited anymore after finalize?

[restive oxide]

need to make a tail for my ship

[terse kestrel]

It can be.

[remote crypt]

Once you summon it again, it will be repostioned

[terse kestrel]

You just can only move one part at a time. But shifting the entire build at once is not possible

[restive oxide]

before i try that, do you guys think it will be a bit more centered on the landing pad or no

[remote crypt]

I think it will be

Just a guess though

[terse kestrel]

Take off and try.

[restive oxide]

i put the front part on the middle of the pad 😢

[terse kestrel]

Usually my off builds stay off center. Haven't had one snap back to a new middle

[restive oxide]

imma try re park it and will be back here

wait i need to swap the corvette with my current ship?

[fair pilot]

Unfortunately, no.

[eternal matrix]

dang :(

[fair pilot]

Indeed.

Also this thing stays when you place 2 wings in a row.

Awful

[abstract crow]

Still very much a WIP and kinda ugly, but there's plenty of space for furniture, so it might turn out okay.

Really need a Jacuzzi

[fair pilot]

Unlimited ship strikes again? 😄

[abstract crow]

Complexity, yes. Size-wise? Surprisingly, no.

[spare sedge]

i messed around with the base builder app but the challenge of having limited parts is kinda fun. Perhaps 200 would be the sweet spot 😅

although, so many weird blocks to make smooth diagonals could be replaced altogether in designs if inner pyramid blocks were added, so even with a 100 block limit that small change would make an incredible difference.

[abstract crow]

I hate being restricted by part limits. Size, sure. I'll build the occasional ship that's within the confines, or close enough that you could glitch it. But I love accessorizing too much.

[obtuse mesa]

I see you made a cruise ship

[velvet ruin]

The part limit can be quite restrictive if you want to make big corvettes, which is why mods like the base builder mod are great
But some limits should be enforced when it comes to multiplayer/the anomaly because some of these corvettes are basically flying zip bombs 😭 🙏

[abstract crow]

Something like a mix between cruise ship and yacht. An ugly mix.

[small nimbus]

Can Someone help me ? I need Aeron atlas modules for corvette

[obtuse mesa]

What are you trying yo make exactly?

[small nimbus]

I need the part that glows for corvette

Aeron winglet , Aeron blade and other parts they look the coolest

[abstract crow]

I think they all kinda glow

[small nimbus]

I need one of each if someone can give me that

[abstract crow]

Try #nms-lfg-or-trades

[obtuse mesa]

Well I should re-phrase what kind of corrvette design do you want to make?

[small nimbus]

I am a newbie I’ll experiment with it wanna make big ship

I am playing on ps 5 pro so I can’t even type and ask for specific thing

[obtuse mesa]

I would attempt to try to go with a medium sized corrvette something like the size of the Ebon Hawk maybe

[abstract crow]

Experimentation is the name of the game.

[obtuse mesa]

Ah a console player

[small nimbus]

I need those parts 1st

[obtuse mesa]

You could turn off crafting requirements in the settings and go nuts

[small nimbus]

Can I get those parts from there ?

[obtuse mesa]

Yes

[abstract crow]

Wouldn't you have to have completed the expedition though?

[small nimbus]

I thought you couldn’t get expedition parts that has not active

Is

[small nimbus]

I think you can give parts to people who haven’t done it

[abstract crow]

You can, but I'm not completely sure how turning on free build will work in that sense. It may not read that you have the part(s). But I can't say for certain.

[small nimbus]

I need to borrow those parts for a few mins then I can give them back as well

I saw a video you can give it to others

And it works

[terse kestrel]

As long as you have parts in your inventory and turn on free crafting you can use them unlimited. They act like a blueprint that way

[small nimbus]

If I get one of each I can distribute to whoever needs it as well

It’s one of the best looking corvette parts in game

[terse kestrel]

They are good as a focus to build using only those parts. They just don't mesh with previous parts very well

[small nimbus]

Pls do dm me if someone can loan those parts I would really appreciate it

[abstract crow]

Depends. Imo, they work well with certain designs and parts. My cruiser looks real good (imo) with them.

[nimble stirrup]

Try asking around in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[small nimbus]

I did no one is talking there

[nimble stirrup]

Patience is key

[small nimbus]

Cool thank you

[cursive lark]

What parts I have tons

[small nimbus]

Aeron parts for corvette one each

@cursive lark But I have no clue how to find you in game I am a newbie playing on ps5

[tough plank]

I don't think you can gift Starship parts.

[cursive lark]

Yeah I have them

[small nimbus]

I did gift a ton normal ones and you can I saw a video

[tough plank]

Okay, I didn't know that.

[cursive lark]

I'll send you my friend code in DMs and then we can join each other's play sessions. I should be on this evening (on lunch break rn)

[small nimbus]

Can I get one of of each please

[cursive lark]

Sure

I'll give you two of the wings

[tough plank]

Any improvements for my corvette?

[abstract crow]

Moar guns

[tough plank]

It has all of the guns, I don't remember if it has the Deadeye Cannon or not.

[abstract crow]

Sounds like you need even moar guns

[terse kestrel]

MOAR.....GUUUUUUNS

[velvet ruin]

Does it have 6 beams

[swift mist]

would it be a hot take to say less atlas parts

[abstract crow]

gasp

[swift mist]

personally, i dont like how they end up dominating the shape of a corvette's silhoutte if the vast majority of it is made up of atlas parts

or maybe im just tired of the red LED gaming keyboard and mouse combo 50% walmart special aesthetic

probably both

[abstract crow]

I think that's kind of the point of that corvette design. Sharp and pointy. Very atlas-y

[swift mist]

they nailed it for sure

my opinion doesnt matter anyways

[abstract crow]

But that's your opinion.

And since your opinion is that your opinion doesn't matter, then your opinion doesn't matter and that means it does matter.

[nimble stirrup]

what

[autumn olive]

I agree. Every time I tried incorporating any of the atlas parts they took over the entire design. I’m sure there has to be a more creative way to use them but I haven’t found it yet.

Also the inability to change their color means you’re likely going to have to lean into the red and black scheme to make it look decent.

[abstract crow]

||16||

[tough plank]

I wanted an Atlas corvette.

[abstract crow]

Red and black is love. 99% of my corvettes rock that look. Only my ugly yacht is a different color.

[swift mist]

and you did a fine job making one. just saying I've seen a lot and would like to see more that involve the use of the other parts mixed in

[tough plank]

No Atlas parts.

[abstract crow]

Could use some atlas parts.

It's ugly as sin, but the atlas parts were limited to mostly cosmetic use on my yacht. I used them as like a canopy for the sides, nose pieces, a decorative piece at the rear, and a radar dish looking thing.

[swift mist]

the parts are really loud so its easy to make them stand out. i mostly do fighter/jet shaped corvettes and this one has a bunch of atlas parts that make up the edges
#nms-showcase-corvettes message

[autumn olive]

That turned out gorgeous!

[abstract crow]

My forte is big ships. Real big. I can't do small, I can't do skinny, and I can't do pretty.

[woeful prism]

So how do you add the industrial crane on to a corvette?

[young jackal]

It should be in the decorations list of your corvette build menu, outside of the build station.

[woeful prism]

Thanks.

[terse kestrel]

That's not an option for whatever reason. It's one of a very few base only parts in decorations

I wanted one on my fishing boat. But no dice

There are a couple popular builds that have it on them. But the wire glitch to do it got patched out

[abstract crow]

Ooo... A massive cargo freighter corvette with cranes.

[young jackal]

Huh, I never noticed. It's not a part I use very often. 😅

[young jackal]

Sorry, I was wrong. 🥴

[woeful prism]

So is there a way to do it without glitches?

[abstract crow]

Mods

Technically speaking, not glitching if you use mods. 🤓

[woeful prism]

What mod can I use?

[abstract crow]

There's a mod that allows you to build any base part on any base. And there's also the base building app.

https://youtu.be/Dfdj2-5yq_s?si=RSmV7jlFQkUEAUAC

With vertical building use the titan ramp. It's easier than it looks and when you do it once you will figure out how to tweak it.

[manic tangle]

I saw the stairs one for getting some stuff reversed, and ive been using the small vents and big rotor thing pretty well

https://prnt.sc/xa5X3ernGEv6 :D

[lucid escarp]

any way to get new missions on the corvette missions radar

[elder iron]

Like, to reroll the missions?

[lucid escarp]

Yeah

mostly just the quicksilver mission

[elder iron]

Waiting or going between planets seems to work for me, but after you catch up with your quicksilver mission cache its a daily thing

[manic tangle]

I wanna get one of the armors in the QSS, gotta farm missions for that too xd

need 6k QS :(

[lucid escarp]

qs catch? whats that?

[elder iron]

Cache, if you miss a qs mission, it kinda stacks up in a backlog up to 3

[manic tangle]

so what you only get one qs mission/day?

[lucid escarp]

sooo the system basicly forces you to do a mission you dont like sooner or later no choice?

[elder iron]

One per day, stacking up to 3 or 4 idk how it counts them

[manic tangle]

well thats annoying lol

i wanted to get the armor quicker than that >:C

[elder iron]

If you mean the specific mission to get the quicksilver, just wait, it will change

[elder iron]

Thats what weekend missions are for

[lucid escarp]

sooo is there a quicksilver daily limit?

or weekly

[manic tangle]

idk what that means :D

[elder iron]

The limit is for missions, I havent heard of a cap on the amount you can earn in a given time period

[elder iron]

Weekend missions award like 1600 quicksilver on completion

[lucid escarp]

okay that dosnt make much sense

im used to mmos and having daily / weekly limits

is there a mission limit there setting where you can only do 5 missions that reward quicksilver or osmething?

[manic tangle]

oic

[glass surge]

or just look at a the quicksilver FAQ
#nms-commands message

[lucid escarp]

i just wanted to know how to reset the quicksilver mission in the corvette 😛

sense i like to grab the mission on the go

[glass surge]

You can't as far as i currently know the best you can do is just go to a differnt system and see what it gives you that's pretty much how it chnages

[elder iron]

Its a certain number of missions, but what the mission is can change

I think ive even had the mission change without warping to another system

[lucid escarp]

now the big question. When are corvettes going to get auto turrets 😛

[elder iron]

Unknown

[lucid escarp]

criminal they dont already haha

[elder iron]

Not sure how well nms supports independently firing auto turrets

[lucid escarp]

if enemy ships can do it then we can

they are already in the game just on enemy ships

one of my fav weapons on starfield

[manic tangle]

Gimme little domed auto turrets so i can just fly around in my Corvette and not have to point at people lol

or just give me an AI function on my turrets so they can shoot themselves

like the minotaur

[lucid escarp]

game techinally already has a ai systme for that

auto follow buttons

[wide bay]

oh my god, i am SO happy they remodled some parts of the corvette building parts, now i can finally build a militaristic freighter style ship

[manic tangle]

here i am just wanting to build star wars ships xd

[lucid escarp]

need some 2x2 habs

[wide bay]

well, there's some gud parts for it if you know what you're doing

[elder iron]

If youre talking about on freighters and frigates, those fire from stationary positions

[manic tangle]

cant be that hard to make the fire

[lucid escarp]

npc freighters have a slow moving round turret on them

even the setinal large ships final boss has a a few round rotatting turrets

[elder iron]

And freighters arent moving during combat

[lucid escarp]

your point?

[elder iron]

That system likely wont work as well when both the targets location, the turret's location, and their location relative to each other, is changing

I do think it would be a cool feature, but I dont think its as easy as copy-pasting some code

[lucid escarp]

so your saying there going to have to protgram a system in? well damn i guess game devs cant do that...

[elder iron]

Im saying that corvettes do things weirdly to work around previous limitations

[lucid escarp]

well they can do this too.

and it fits perfectly

[elder iron]

Not yet, and I think theyd want to work in multiplayer firing first, which could help work out the bugs an auto-turret firing would have

This is the first time the game is really working with movable base stuff like this

[lucid escarp]

allot of things dont work right in multplayer right now ;P

[elder iron]

It had issues in general when first launched

It still kinda does, but theyre probably just due to how either corvettes or the game engine itself functions

[terse kestrel]

To this the mission board is reflective of the anomaly board. So when you see a quicksilver mission to scan fauna someone in the anamoly sees that too.

When they start that mission the next one loads up. Your board changes too.

[elder iron]

Missions are shared like that?

[terse kestrel]

Hence why it's 3 missions per day no matter if you start them from Corvette or anamoly. Not 3 from Corvette and 3 from anamoly.

[elder iron]

Oh I got confused what you meant

[terse kestrel]

Yeah. It was just put there as a short cut so you and friends can do your Quicksilver mission without going to the anamoly

[elder iron]

I think ive seen the corvette missions show different options than the nexus missions

[terse kestrel]

It would be hard to see that

Because you can't load up your mission board in the anomaly

[elder iron]

True

But ive had it both persist for a time and reset seemingly for no reason

[terse kestrel]

So by the time you looked at one on your board, went in to anamoly and made it to the terminal it's likely rotated to a new one

[terse kestrel]

If it seems like it's rotating out slow you can probably go and see few in the anamoly. Less busy there....less rotations of quests

I just never had someone join FROM the anamoly while starting from corvette though. I think it's only those in your system or current game who can.

[elder iron]

I dont think theyre actually linked like that

The mission board cant get some of the nexus missions

[wide bay]

wait that's actually so peak

[manic tangle]

:D

[wide bay]

im liking the superstructure at the back, i could never manage to get the configuration on PS4

[manic tangle]

the top is literally just an ambassador walkway, thunderbird cockpit, and ambassador ramp

[wide bay]

well, what ship do you plan on recreating next?

[manic tangle]

thinking about attempting a Nebulon B but i need to figure out how to get some parts glitched vertically so the v part under the front section wont look like trash

[wide bay]

i was contemplating a star destroyer but some of the parts just won't cooperate so i gotta improvise...

[manic tangle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=qFp8qS5eE0k heres a guide on a Venator someone made using cosmetic parts mostly, he also has a star destroyer one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qQG3zLAgXc

[abstract crow]

With glitches, you can do a pretty solid star destroyer type ship

With regular parts and not just cosmetic parts.

Granted I took some creative liberties, this was my second go at it.

[manic tangle]

hmm #nms-corvette-discussion message

[abstract crow]

Needs to be bigger.

[manic tangle]

its an acclamator :P

smaller republic vessel

[abstract crow]

Moar size

[terse kestrel]

MOAR GUNS

[manic tangle]

if they all shot individually instead of one barrel at a time id do more lol

[terse kestrel]

My phase beams turn my minivette into a light saber when they fire off....

[manic tangle]

i mean yes phase beams do work all at once, but photon turrets dont :x

[soft hound]

anyone have aeron parts?? need some for a build.

[steady dirge]

I really want to make a corvette but I hate building things xD

[terse kestrel]

#nms-lfg-or-trades try there. Should be able to find someone will to trade you some

[manic tangle]

Ive run into issues building my nebulon :x

[manic tangle]

cant glitch the engine part of the ship :(

cant build on the other half of that hab no matter what i do, even if i try and glitch it to lag and let me place something it normally wont.

doesnt give me that second

any ideas?

can you build your corvette outside this place? D:

aight i managed to get it back one more half hab lol. Cant build the engines though :x

if i was able to buiild it farther forwards i think i coulda done it easier but it wouldnt let me build forwards with the glitch

rip

[zealous sinew]

can we make the doorways open in habitats? im making a ship and it uses offset habs but i still want it to be walkable

[manic tangle]

if the habs dont connect end to end or side to side, they arent traversible.

like direct end to end
