[flint mantle]

Thank you

[vernal blaze]

Didn't know that could be a thing. I figured too many Corvettes in one area would just disappear

Or desync like freighter bases

[knotty escarp]

There's probably some kind of limit to it. 24 or 32 maybe

[vernal blaze]

Like, half the parts would be there while the others don't exist or something

[knotty escarp]

Similar to how many people can be in an Anomaly instance at once

[vernal blaze]

True but Corvettes don't typically load completely in the anomaly. At least for me

I see floating parts all the time, lol

[knotty escarp]

Yeah. I think part of that is just the nature of the anomaly itself. There are often two corvettes parked on the same pad, but only one visible.

[knotty escarp]

Apparently corvette adjacency and tech slot permanence is more bugged than I thought. Earlier I had a setup that was giving 2147 maneuverability. I just went to add a completely unrelated piece of tech and noticed it was suddenly 1590. I noticed a couple things out of place, so I checked my earlier screenshot and put everything back where it should be. Suddenly that was only giving 1573. I then put stuff back to where it was at least giving 1590 before and it's still maxing at 1573. I literally did nothing, but the game decided my stuff needed to be rearranged, then nerfed the adjacency. Lol

[terse kestrel]

This is due to tech reshuffle when summoning a Corvette after using another ship for a while. When this happens your boosters will also shuffle their order of stat tier. Causing you to either gain or lose manueverability depending on how they fall

When you put a booster on you are no only capped at 3 that improve stats but they also have a scaling loss of stats. So if you have 3 boosters that give 10% only one will get that 10%. The others will give like 7% and 4%.

When you got multiple types of boosters those stats can swing wildly based on how they load in on the reshuffle

[knotty escarp]

The weird thing is I haven't used anything but the corvette for some time. I saved and quit right after achieving that high maneuverability, then came back into game, did some stuff, found some weapon upgrades at a station, and this had happened.

The vette was never not my active ship in the interim

I did manage to push it back to 1591. Just missing that extra 550 maneuverability now. Maybe that was the bug...

[livid veldt]

Fancy ship over there

[knotty escarp]

Breach redux can't come fast enough

[edgy geyser]

Me too

[trail hornet]

it was just here 😭

[glass surge]

oh breach is here? Turn off Multiplayer! turn off Multiplayer!

[knotty escarp]

I know. I had been away from the game for a couple years (just too busy with IRL) Came back literally days after it ended. Expeditions weren't even a thing when I stopped playing, so I didn't even know I was missing anything. Lol

[trail hornet]

ohhh rip

[knotty escarp]

Yeah....

Kinda been how my life has been going the past couple years, sadly.

[shadow wraith]

Man, I really wish we have the Shuttle cockpit for corvettes

I like the tiny cooling fan and square frame's vibes

Maybe the Hauler cockpits as well

[candid ravine]

Did anyone built the red dragon yet?

[stuck dagger]

Mid overhaul >< is upgrading to S class enough to raise the potential? Or do I need to use different parts? <<

[knotty escarp]

Going to S class does give a lot more potential, but the corvette engines do vary a lot in what they can do as well.

[fervent mist]

Hello again everyone so I just successfully built a star destroyer, did a little modding on PC and now for some reason my restore point and auto save is corrupted beyond repair, is there any way to choose an earlier save like I used to be able to before the last 3 or whatever updates

[stuck dagger]

Thank you ❤️ will continue to tinker

[fervent mist]

Is there any way to restore my data by loading a previous save? I have about 4 and 1/2 years on this save if I lose it I'm going to lose four and a half years of progress

[knotty escarp]

That's a tough one. You might want to put this in #nms-modding. The folks there are the sort of geeks that might be able to help. lol

Unfortunately I'm about as computer literate as my dog.

[fervent mist]

F*** this goddamn worthless piece of mother f****** b******* excuse for a f****** b******* game

[abstract crow]

If you did some modding, you can't exactly place all the blame on the game. That's the risk you take.

[knotty escarp]

I don't even mod and I still do a backup just because. Games are wonky enough on their own.

[frigid depot]

Bro, you modded the game, considering what happened, most likely with outdated mods or not properly applied mods, the you get angry at the game?

[gritty fiber]

I wanna see the ugliest corvette designs

There should be a contest for that

[remote crypt]

What do I win

[oblique seal]

This reminds me of an A wing

[remote crypt]

An AAAAA wing maybe

[abstract crow]

Nope. My yacht is uglier.

I'll have to take another stab at that after I finish this monster of a cruiser. I'm putting more planning and thought into it than my other large designs. If everything goes according to plan, the interior should be pretty impressive.

[terse kestrel]

HMS We Have A Squid Ship at Home

[velvet ruin]

reverse squid ship

[cobalt sable]

I think this is lowest fishing platform i can build without glitches, but maybe someone have idea how to build even lower? It feels much more smooth to fish near water. Platform as part of the corvette perfectly keeps fisherman safe in any weather and storms 😎

[gritty fiber]

That looks super cute

[gritty fiber]

Eh, it doesn't look that ugly even though the aero has seen better days

[gritty fiber]

How is that ugly? That looks awesome man

[abstract crow]

It's so bulky and not as smooth as I wanted.

[mighty cloud]

You know, I kinda wish we could put more than one cockpit on ships

[unreal tendon]

Thievery

[velvet ruin]

what would that do tho
also I think you can with glitches/mods but only one is usable

[gritty fiber]

Big ships just look and behave like that irl

[terse kestrel]

Starship troopers intensifies

"We are in this big giant bubble called outer space in which we have an entire three-dimensional environment that we can move and pivot in..... But let's line up elbow to ahole so we start banging into each other as soon as we hit the thrusters"

[mighty cloud]

My goals are beyond your understanding

[velvet ruin]

all a matter of perspective my friend

Perhaps they are not even goals

[mighty cloud]

But seriously, sometimes I enter my corvette from the front and sometimes from the back, I would find another cockpit useful to avoid having to walk from one side to another (it's a big corvette)

And also... you know... for the look

[velvet ruin]

true...

[mighty cloud]

Anyway, totally unrelated, but I'm considering designing a Corvette with a big garden and ruins on top

Still not sure what kind of starting shape I should give it tho.

Feels like it should have something on the front to keep it at least somewhat aerodynamic

Althought... if it's bulky enough, maybe I won't have to think about this...

[terse kestrel]

Could always go with some sort of drop ship design. With easy access to the exterior of your ship and teleporter control from your access Bay.

[mighty cloud]

Huh... how is there a hole in your corvette like that?

The ones on the side

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Look at the video open habs/dropships. That will get you the open Corvette sides. 1 minute into the video. Super simple

If you combine that with the offset trick and pull your Corvette half a space closer to the access ramp it gives you teleport control directly when you stand up out of your seat

[mighty cloud]

Oh, it's a glitch?

[wraith quiver]

not really a glitch id say

lots of ways to do it. some use ladders

[terse kestrel]

Yes and no. I don't consider many of these glitches because all we're doing is moving a snap point from one spot to another. Manipulating pre-existing snap points.

Glitch building is forcing a snap point where there isn't one. Or increasing the size or placement of it

[wraith quiver]

some just use the entryway

[terse kestrel]

Rotating the hab can be considered a glitch. We're using a ladder to spin the hab in a direction it's not meant to be. But offsetting it is just moving the snap point around.

[fierce portal]

theres a fishing pod / fishing dock you can build and deploy for the same reasons u trying to do that

[cobalt sable]

I know, but with corvette just more fun.

[random zinc]

would you consider offsetting and then overlapping a glitch build?

[fierce portal]

u have water jets to land on the water with

i just fish out my back door or off of a wing

still keeps me safe

[random zinc]

and how about temporarily building a hab, attaching something above it, and then removing the hab and replacing it with a landing bay?

[cobalt sable]

i started to fish from open hatch, then put couple floors and then made this low setup, and it's a bit punk

[fierce portal]

well you could do that. but uness u have the Vet landing pad mod it wont matter.. cant land on it with vette

but u could stand on it for sure

[cobalt sable]

wait, how low corvette can hover over water without water jets?

[fierce portal]

pretty low

almost the same to be honest

they need to fix it

corvette weather landed or not still doesnt sit on water

[cobalt sable]

thank you! that's an interesting idea to try 🙂

[tough plank]

Does anyone have any cool corvette naming ideas?

[fierce portal]

lets see the vette

[fierce portal]

show it

[cobalt sable]

mine is Supposive Reality XVIII

[cobalt sable]

Nightsky Starwalker

[fierce portal]

can we see another angle.. thats not a very good angle to see what it looks like from

try front or over head looking down

[tough plank]

That's the only picture I have of it, but I'll see if I can send another, or a video. So far, it's named The Colossus.

[cobalt sable]

Starcoast Defender

[fierce portal]

lol i already have a ship named Collosis lol

[tough plank]

What about The Venator?

[fierce portal]

Heavens Gate

[cobalt sable]

Also cars has pretty good names for starships - like Voyager

[tough plank]

I guess it's a popular name. 🤣

[fierce portal]

dont post no more images , your gonna get in trouble

send them to corvette photo chanell

sorry

[tough plank]

Yeah, I was about to reply to Gunter.

But then I thought better of it.

[fierce portal]

na its a bot.. just doing its job

[tough plank]

Yeah.

It's funny, and annoying.

[weak rune]

I did manage to improve most of the stats, but it took more than just swapping around a few tech. Upgraded class twice, added a fair amount of storage and additional tech. Now I'd consider it respectable. Effective maneuverability is capped at 2700 is my understanding so I can live with this result. A few suspicious tech Upgrades and I'm there

[fierce portal]

easy way would be to send it in a DM to who's asking and share a montage in the Image Share chat channel as well

[tough plank]

How'd you get your maneuverability that high? My highest is 1588.

[fierce portal]

dumping all those Pulse drive upgrades on it

[weak rune]

Listened to someone wiser. Scroll up to conversation to see recommendations

[fierce portal]

and putting the Main engine in a super charged slot with all the others stacked around it

[tough plank]

That's what I do, I might need some upgrades.

[fierce portal]

well u need to play with the arrangments

[tough plank]

That's also what I do.

[fierce portal]

i found how they are stacked makes 100% difference.

[tough plank]

Really?

[fierce portal]

just cause they light up or glow doesnt mean crap really

[tough plank]

Any recommendations?

[weak rune]

With it's single unit footprint it's become really useful now.

[fierce portal]

yup. i recommend placing the main unit, gun, drive, engine, etc, in a super charged slot

then pace the highest stat upgrades on each side against it.. in the 4 slots around it.. then place 2nd tier stats upgrades in with those.. playing with the placement while you watch the stats increase/descrease for best results

all mods are not equal

not all S class are equal

[left basin]

I forgot which one but you can use the figurines that you get from quicksilver along with the starship trails

[fierce portal]

none of htem are.. so alwasy be on the look out for higher stat ones.. and swithch them out ..

[weak rune]

3 sc in pulse arrangement

[fierce portal]

X class mods can be anything from a C class to a higher then S class stat mod.. so be careful with those..

[weak rune]

Checking always Checking

[fierce portal]

in other words , do not remove a S class for a X class unless your positive it has better stats then the S you are replacing

[terse kestrel]

Not really. Unless it's meant to delete when the part it's snap to disappears or is taken away and we're forcing that not to happen then I would consider it so.

[fierce portal]

doing it in this manner will alwasy give yo uthe highest potential for whatever you have at the time

and always be checking the vendors at space stations for S class upgrades, or Pirate station for suspicious Tech and Arms packets.. buy all u can

[ember plaza]

is there any way to extend my thruster by 1/2 a module?

[trail hornet]

probably offsets

[fierce portal]

certain half block desfusers may allow u to snap one on it

[ember plaza]

what ones r half block

[fierce portal]

if turned in the right direction.. prolly backwards if i had my guess which will probaly not allow u to snap it to anything..the small 1/4 round ones

[ember plaza]

speedburd?

[fierce portal]

look like shoe molding if you know what that is

like the molding around the edge of your baseboads in your house

[fierce portal]

its 1 quater round

yeh like the speed bird one there

[ember plaza]

speedburd

[fierce portal]

there are a few others like the fuel cover i think

looks like a quater of a bullet

and a few others but that speed bird is what i was thinking of yes

fi you can get it to snap with the flat side faceing backwards, it should allow a engine to snap to it

[ember plaza]

i can’t place it backwards

[terse kestrel]

Force a hab into the Blue square position. Attach your booster to where the red box is at the end of the hab.

When you delete the hab put some sort of domed casing or other short part in the green area. That will close off that space and connect your booster back to your ship

[ember plaza]

blue square is 1/2 offset

well

i somehow did this

thats a feat in of itself

[fierce portal]

yeh idk man, maybe now something will fill that space and mesh into the ship if the jets are where u need them now

[ember plaza]

yeah idk

i heard that rockhopper wings could help

[tough plank]

You can use a radiator casing. Or place a heavy linkage.

[wide ferry]

how do yall get your manuverabilty stat so high

[tough plank]

By doing it. I use adjacency and pulse engine upgrades.

[low saddle]

how do you get up to S-Class?

[wraith quiver]

really hope they add planetary probe to the corvettes man id never leave mine

[tough plank]

The place where you scrap legacy ships, you can use it to upgrade your corvette to S-Class.

[ember plaza]

good enough

[tough plank]

Nice.

[low saddle]

aka to get S-Rank I need fifty billion nanites

[tough plank]

Yeah.

A little costly.

[low saddle]

sourcing nanites is annoying

[terse kestrel]

Once you've unlocked outlaw stations and have access to pirates it's much easier.

Purchase the tech and weapon packets for units from the vendor in the back of the station. Open those up for x-class Tech and then sell what you don't need to the tech vendor in the same station for nanites

Easiest way to convert units to nanites

[glass surge]

spend 85,000 nanites at the terminal at the back of the station

[low saddle]

is that the "Under a rebel star" quest?

[terse kestrel]

Yes

[low saddle]

beauty, I've already got that quest on my panel

[hardy oracle]

I've seen that 2700 claim before but it just isn't true. Maneouvrability keeps scaling at least beyond 6000. I should know since I've been testing my speed and turning rate as I keep improving my own ship. Here's a picture of my tech inventory with the agility techs circled

[tough plank]

That's insane. You've got some nice stats on that ship.

[weak rune]

Nice, helps that you have 3 sc in a line

Suspicious tech too i see. Gotta get a couple

[hardy oracle]

Another easily missed part is the photonix core. Though you may not have easy access to it

[hardy oracle]

By the way, you can press this button to show the whole tech inventory at once

[terse kestrel]

What's with all the rumors lately about Corvette maneuverability and warp drive being so low?

I know. But I'm just specifically focusing on pulse drive Tech and warp drive Tech.

Everything in the bottom is weaponry, landing gear and scan Tech

[hardy oracle]

Probably just something getting repeated on reddit. Someone says the highest they've gotten is 2700, the next person interprets that as the highest you can get and replies to another person that there's no use trying. 🙂

[terse kestrel]

100%

[hardy oracle]

2700 is a perfectly reasonable "highest" number to get if you don't know how adjacency works and don't know about polo, so that's probably how it started

[wraith quiver]

this thing is legendary lmfao

[terse kestrel]

Somebody gets upvote for wrong information and everybody starts repeating it just so that they can get those upvotes

[wraith quiver]

i finally found a decent build i like and now im trying to work on the stats

might have to steal that photo 😛

[weak rune]

Huh

[terse kestrel]

Expedition reward

[hardy oracle]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Photonix_Core

[wraith quiver]

ohhh

[terse kestrel]

Gives an extra 11% maneuverability. Not a big deal considering you can get over near or over 5K without it

[hardy oracle]

You can just pull it out of your Starborn Runner if you have one

That's true, it's hardly the biggest buff you can get, but it does help if you can spare the space

[terse kestrel]

And maneuverability should be gauged with the size of your craft. The game does take into account the size of your ship and your maneuverability is affected by it

A 1 hab minivette at 3500 maneuverability will turn quicker than a big long Corvette at 4500 maneuverability

So if you have a wide and short profile Corvette you really don't need to spike your maneuverability. It's only for the big ones where it's necessary.

[hardy oracle]

My ship is quite compact and I enjoy my high agility!

[wraith quiver]

my ship is a moderate size but id love for it to be a bit more agile

[weak rune]

Another thing I seem to be missing are those figurines. What are they?

[terse kestrel]

Bobbleheads from the Quicksilver vendor

[weak rune]

They add maneuverability?

[hardy oracle]

There's a bunch of them, but the Polo figurine is what helps maneouvrability. However it mostly does so through adjacency. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Polo_Figurine

[terse kestrel]

Apollo adds 8 damage to ship weapons

Artemis adds +5% boost speed

Atlas adds +50 lightyear hyperdrive range

Nada reduces launch fuel cost by 10%

Null adds +0.5% shield strength.

Polo provides a +5% maneuverability bonus and has an adjacency bonus with Artemis.

[hardy oracle]

And ship trails work as adjacency boosters for Polo

[weak rune]

Hmm, need more slots.

[terse kestrel]

Artemis gets adjacency boost from trails too

[hardy oracle]

I only have one weapon on my corvette so I can fit in all the other techs, so that's a downside.

[weak rune]

Argh

Gotcha

[hardy oracle]

The tech inventory is big enough that you can fit in everything you need, but not necessarily everything you want. 🙂

[random zinc]

yeah, it's a compromise 🙂

[low saddle]

that they don't actually show it, from what I recall, is kinda annoying

[weak rune]

Get rid of my phase beam, try adding in another reactor. Without messing with the look.

Thanks for all the help

Bobbleheads, who knew 🧐

[fervent sail]

Wait. Those actually give you buffs? 😯

[wraith quiver]

yeah you guys are wizards lol

[tough plank]

How do you get it?

[terse kestrel]

How did you not know that? 😭

[ember plaza]

looking real good

[weak rune]

Just saw the prices, got some work to do.😒

[terse kestrel]

They don't show up in your actual stat numbers. But they do boost you

[ember plaza]

half grid offset engine

[fervent sail]

I put in the Atlas figurine into my sentinel ship, like, a year+ ago. I never looked at them after that. 🤣

[terse kestrel]

I mean if you're feeling cheesy there is a way to manipulate your Quicksilver purchases to where they don't cost you anything

[wraith quiver]

This space station very Joker-ish lol

[terse kestrel]

WE LIVE IN A SPACE SOCIETY!

[hardy oracle]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Photonix_Core

[low saddle]

tell me more....

[ember plaza]

red is before

white is now

[terse kestrel]

||If you purchase something from the Quicksilver vendor and then reload your restore point you will spawn back at your ship. With all of your Quicksilver back in your inventory. But when you go back to the Quicksilver vendor all the items you purchased will be available for claim||

[low saddle]

Really? Interesting....

[terse kestrel]

It happens like this because when you purchase something at the Quicksilver vendor you unlock it for your entire account. Across any save you create.

[low saddle]

I'd still need to accumulate some more QS... but that's an interesting piece of knowledge.

[tough plank]

Yeah, that's really cool.

[terse kestrel]

I like it because it takes the pressure out of expeditions. You're doing it for free items and new things for your main save. But you're not stressing over doing every last little thing to maximize Quicksilver

[small plaza]

I wouldn't use the ||exploit|| if they just made the expeditions something you can just do on your own free time whenever you want to get the rewards, instead of locking them in a rotation that might take years to get the one you want

[terse kestrel]

I imagine they will do that at some point in the future. One final thing before they end routine updates and just focus on events and support

Easy access to any previous expedition

[small plaza]

Hopefully

[weak rune]

Removed the Phase Beam and added two reactors. Now for some suspicious tech.

[hardy oracle]

Adjacency isn't just about making sure everything is adjacent to something else. You'll want to ensure your best modules are adjacent to as many other modules as you can. Having S- and X-class modules on the edges is quite wasteful

[terse kestrel]

It looks like their supercharged slots are on the edges. Much easier to do what you're suggesting if your SC slots are all clumped together in a square. So you can have your supporting Tech on the outside.

[hardy oracle]

I only see one supercharged slot being used that way, but I might not be looking closely enough. Also, I see some core modules are in the middle of clusters. As far as I know, the only core modules that have stats boosted by adjacency are weapons. Other core modules don't really benefit from adjacency so they can be used on the edges to boost modules that matter.

Another thing of note is that while hyperspace and landing modules might have a weirdly similar adjacency color, they do not provide adjacency to eachother

[terse kestrel]

Are there X and 2s class modules are supercharged. Two on the top and the corners and one in the middle on the bottom. So they wouldn't be able to wrap it so easily around those.

And core pulse modules and boosters do affect adjacency. Since it's based on a cumulative stat increase per how many modules are adjacent they add to that cumulative factor.

[hardy oracle]

It feels like we might be looking at different pictures but setting that aside. The core modules affect adjacency but they do not benefit (much?) from it. So they should be put on the edges of clusters to buff modules that do benefit it

[terse kestrel]

The three supercharged slots for pulse driver on the outside. Not the inside. That's what I was referencing

[hardy oracle]

I understand what you're saying, I just don't see any sign that they're supercharged

[terse kestrel]

The X and 2 S Tech are purple. That means they're supercharged

[hardy oracle]

Oh! I learned something new. I thought supercharging was only visible on the border

[terse kestrel]

Their other supercharged slot is in there Warp modules. You can see a purple one in there too

[hardy oracle]

You know, the whole flashing slowly thing

[terse kestrel]

But when it comes to adjacency it doesn't matter what the module is or what it does. Just it being adjacent to similar tech provides a multiplying bonus. And that bonus is cumulative based on the number of tech modules. Not the power of the tech module order it's own stats

These aren't the actual numbers but

2 Tech modules adjacent would give 10%. Three would give 15%. Four would give 20%. Like that. So just having adjacent Tech modules gives you the same bonus no matter what module it is

[hardy oracle]

I really don't think that's how it works. I very much doubt there is any sort of accumulated adjacency. Each adjacency buffs only the specific modules involved

If your claim was true, it would be very easy to see by just swapping the location of two adjacent modules in a cluster and get the same stats. But you do not.

That's why the location of supercharged slots is so important and why there's hundreds of reddit posts about finding things with clustered supercharged slots in specific configurations

[terse kestrel]

Well there's still the factor of what two pieces of tech are next to each other and how they boost off of each other based on their own stats. Multiplied by the adjacency bonus you are getting.

But that in and of itself is a much smaller difference

[hardy oracle]

That just isn't true. Anyone can test it on their own to verify that claim to find it false

[terse kestrel]

Here you can see the difference in maneuverability when the weakest booster is in its prime adjacency position, broken from adjacency completely and then replaced an adjacency but out of prime position

The loss from breaking out of adjacency is much greater than just keeping it connected to whatever Tech you can.

[hardy oracle]

I really don't see the point in arguing about this given how easy it is to test for yourself. Even your own screenshots are proving you wrong with massive changes in maneouvrability

[terse kestrel]

You said that there was not accumulated adjacency bonuses. But there are. Based on how many are in the chain regardless of their position. Prime position does matter but the effects are still cumulative whether it's in prime position or not.

[hardy oracle]

You should look at your own screenshots

[terse kestrel]

That's all I was pointing out. That even if it's not in prime position you are still getting a good adjacency bonus off the tech. Prime position is not absolutely required

I get what you're saying. But few people worry much about absolute min/maxing. Chasing The highest potential number.

[hardy oracle]

I just assume that if someone shows up here and asks about how to improve their numbers, they actually want to improve their numbers

[fervent mist]

Afternoon, all. I am hoping someone here can describe the method of achieving a build with a pointed nose? How do I get the Aerofoil parts to centerline?

[hardy oracle]

Have you figured out how to do half-tile offsets yet? If not, this video might help. There are also other useful videos in the pinned comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OviTjOwAfp8

[fervent mist]

I can’t always recreate it, but I found that the zenith reactors can stack on the half up and half forward axis

[hardy oracle]

Check out the videos. Most probably use rockhopper propellers and trim pieces to do half-tile offsets, it's pretty quick and easy

[fervent mist]

You’re a real one for this. TY

[terse kestrel]

WIP

I can't not build a Corvette without a quick drop out function anymore. It's too convenient not to use

More than 2 seconds to the exit is too damn far...

[ember plaza]

my corvette says all modules must be attached

when everything is already

nvm

[flat zinc]

anyone got corvette parts? im pretty new and i still have the basic ship

Bro, how are you going to get in that way?

[lunar pike]

Thanks for the love guys, I built a bigger version for crew of 6

[terse kestrel]

Just so you're aware all of us with a bunch of big Corvettes don't run around farming all the pieces. We just turn on free crafting and build what we want.

The real grind of Corvettes comes from the nanites and units for upgrading their levels and slots. So if you don't want to also grind for all the aesthetic pieces to build with just turn on free crafting .

I view it as grinding and looting for skins. Because that's pretty much what most Corvette parts are. I don't like to grind for skins if I don't have to.

[flat zinc]

Oh ok, thanks

[random zinc]

I farm or trade for my parts, but I also don't have desire to make a mega-corvette

[tropic sapphire]

point being @hoary agate corvettes are no longer worth it 🙁 my beautiful f-22 is now gone...like i said it took 2 hours to build due to there being so many freaking glitches and bugs used to build it

[hoary agate]

For me they never was. To buggy and i dont need worse ver of freighter

But pls report the bug when u can

!hg

[terse kestrel]

Can your freighter or legacy ship do this?

That's a strong argument for corvettes for me. Landing ship animations may look cool but they often take too long. Or the terrain takes too long to load.

If we could rob banks I'd be in and out before an exotic ball could land proper 😂

[hoary agate]

I like traditional landing more

[tropic sapphire]

ah....it wont do much much a good 🙁 its best if i just let this go as hard as it may be. sure i could report it but it wont bring back my ship, my current save has overrided the old one. im just going to sit back and take it and use regular ship for now on i guess if i decide to play the game more

[abstract crow]

Almost accidentally deleted one of my ships while trying to figure out how to import another ship design and overwrite it. Then in my panic, I almost deleted/lost 90% of my other ships. Guess this jew design will be number 6 in the list instead of number one.

[fervent mist]

Used what I learned today to reshape an old favorite. Offset can hardly be called a glitch when it’s easy as shit to do! Chat- did I cook?

[terse kestrel]

Damn that's beautiful

[fervent mist]

Thank you, Z!

[abstract crow]

I'm finishing the latest Eclipse-Class cruiser design. Few more tweaks in the base builder and it'll be mostly completed.

Then comes the interior...

[median shadow]

Damm

[velvet ruin]

Gorgeous!

[thick siren]

my first corvette! Just got into this game like a month ago and i'm addicted. corvette building is my favorite

[sharp wing]

Can we see the inside? 👀

[tropic sapphire]

its awesome looking...hopefully your game dosent glitch and delete it

[sharp wing]

That's a thing? 😅

[tough plank]

You cooked a feast. That corvette is really cool!

[tropic sapphire]

clearly you missed what i posted earlier. 🙁

[wide bay]

dear god you guys are good at this

[fervent mist]

Start messing around with zenith reactors. They unlocked a lot of what you see in my pics, especially thee centerline of the fuselage.

You can also go ham using habs to stack on halves.

[fervent mist]

Ha! It’s a microbuild- cockpit, walkway and ramp- the only things in the hab walkway are a mission computer and a refiner. No frills.

Only difference in the rebuild is a different cockpit.

[sharp wing]

That looks nice

[steady pike]

Shoooo, u can build your own spaceship???

[spare sedge]

theyre great for creating curves like that, not so much as standalone thrusters though i agree

was able to make the roof on this out of 2 pieces and have more parts to work with

[wide bay]

i will consider that, thanks for the tips g

[wide bay]

yues

[steady pike]

Thats cool

I'll add that to the list of things I wanna do after finally settling in

[spare sedge]

yea idk if its fair to call offset, 90 degree turns or even verticals actual "glitches" . my pet theory is these are all just easter eggs XD

[wide bay]

btw i would design a corvette in creative then make it in standard mode so you don't waste gear for a mediocre design that you could improve (oh and its just easier to deal with)

[spare sedge]

im a big fan of the tasteful use of base parts like that to augment the functional look

[steady pike]

I see

I'll put that a bit below my list. For now, probably getting a decent spacecraft will suffice

[unkempt seal]

When are player mounted corvette turrets gonna be a thing

Or corvette repairs that crew members need to do

[swift mist]

i wouldn't hold your breath on that 2nd one

[lunar pike]

They need to add large triple cannons

This could be us

[wide bay]

oh my god i wish we had actual boats (the nautilition is ok ig) but y'know...

[spare sedge]

all it would take is an amphibious module for corvettes

[wide bay]

oh my god yes

people could finally satiate their desire to build a warship. (thats prob just me but regardless...)

[knotty escarp]

I've had this thought, though the more I kick it around, the more I realize that the technical + legitimate usability aspects of such things is probably more resource intensive than is worth the effort. Imagine trying to aim a turret while the corvette is constantly maneuvering to bring main weapons to bear on something. You'd get a couple seconds where you might actually even see a potential target in an entire battle. It'd probably end up being a "try not to puke" challenge. I could see a sort of automated or NPC crew-controlled "point defense" turret system being a thing. Something that just sprays mini-photon shots around to try to wear out the shields of enemies while you're focusing main weapons on a target, but putting players in such a thing would likely just not work.

Better to just introduce pilotable frigates (or something between a frigate and a freighter) that can barely maneuver and are covered in various sized weapons, which would itself entail a monumental effort spanning years to make work. At that point you're just copying the new capital ships in Star Citizen. NMS just doesn't have the budget for such a thing, and the player base (while many would happily pay 10 bucks for major updates if HG let us) would laugh at the concept of funding the required budget and staff expansion by paying 5 grand for a single mid-range ship.

[wide bay]

well, that would give freighters a purpose, no?

[knotty escarp]

True, but even that would be a massive overhaul

Making the things flyable instead of just a massive base in space would probably be a headache all its own, especially given the "only one player freighter can be visible at once" limitation

[spare sedge]

might land this on the water and dream of what could be 😭

[knotty escarp]

Not that I don't think the concept is awesome. I just don't have 20 million dollars to donate to the idea

[wide bay]

Y E S

[knotty escarp]

SC still is wonky as heck, and it's had nearly a BILLION dollars thrown at it. I'm sure HG could conceivably do it, but money is, in this case, an object bigger than a gas giant. Every single active player would have to throw thousands of dollars at expanding HGs team, facilities, and equipment.

Frankly the existence of corvettes as they stand is mind-boggling

Though do keep in mind that vettes are themselves just a testing platform for Light No Fire. There could be some insane stuff coming down the pipe, as HG and miracles seem to be getting more and more closely associated.

Hmmm...anybody have Elon's email? I have a proposal for him. lol

[spare sedge]

🙁

[knotty escarp]

To be fair, idk If Space Battleship Yamato would handle water any better (I'm not well versed in the series)

[visual rivet]

look at this beast i found in the anomaly

[terse kestrel]

Is this what they mean by a Corvette dock?

[wide bay]

I'm pretty sure g

[knotty escarp]

Mark Twain would be proud

[long pawn]

Oooo! I love this one! A+!

[spare sedge]

thank you 🙂

this is awesome. its got flying Gundam vibes

Pegasus class

Yo

Whoever Traveller-344 is

How much time is on your hands?!

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

[manic tangle]

I may do a build that looks like a ship lol

Shame there aren’t any 3 barrel turrets

[manic tangle]

O:

Did you see my A-Wing? lol

[solid sage]

nice corvette

[hollow anchor]

What piece are you using to connect the thrusters to the body? I love the metal bars on the roof, but can't seem to recreate that visual myself

[manic tangle]

Looks like scaffolding

There are a couple of those parts

[hollow anchor]

Yeah maybe, but if it is it looks like he definetly did some layering to get that visual

[manic tangle]

You can offset parts using a couple

Small vents and a couple others will let you shift a hab a half space up down left or right

The big open rockhopper, when placed only on the opposite side of its initial placement on a habs will let you shift it forwards or backward a half move

[void fulcrum]

looks like a Pelta class but without the folding wings i like it

[manic tangle]

I made a Pelta awhile ago :D ended up turning it into an Arquitens cuz it didn’t look the best to me lol

[void fulcrum]

not totally scraped then lol

im impressed someone actually tried to make a pelta class lol this is such a forgotten ship

[manic tangle]

It’s actually a pretty easy build for that one

[void fulcrum]

how about the wings tho?

[manic tangle]

It’s not very complex

Wasn’t too hard, they can’t move though so you have to pick back facing or sideways

I didn’t do them perfectly but I just thought of a way to do it better

Would require some glitch building though

I build the front part of a Nebulon B, but couldn’t finish the engine section due to space lol.

[void fulcrum]

can you have more than 1 corvette, or you guys just scrap it everytime?

[manic tangle]

You can have up to 6 I think

Can’t scrap them though

[void fulcrum]

yeah honestly i aint farming that much pieces lmao

[manic tangle]

So if you don’t turn it into something else, you can only get rid of it by trading it to a NPC

[manic tangle]

You can change the settings if you want to free building which lets you build with infinite parts

[void fulcrum]

when the corvette update droped i farmed a bit and i made all my ship with this pieces, even the upgrade i do rn i just trade the old pieces but ive gone months without actually farming them

[manic tangle]

Then change it back once you’re done.

Not really hard to farm lol

[void fulcrum]

they def aint

just lazyness

[manic tangle]

Just troll a scrap planet for awhile and you can trade them for other parts if they’re not what you want at the corvettes terminal

Oh if you didn’t know you can also change the number of pieces you’re trading for

[void fulcrum]

plus my ship is already good enought for me

[manic tangle]

Up to 30/go

[void fulcrum]

Ill try to see if i can get a picture

here

for some reasons they dont save if i take them normally

or in a folder i cant bother to find

[manic tangle]

Very round lol

[void fulcrum]

wasnt my intentions but i found myself actually enjoying it and i had no other ideas for the tip of the sideslol

tho the interior is where i placed the most efforts

im on one of the planet you can access with the atlas if you want

[manic tangle]

Potentially

[small plaza]

Nice, looks like the ships from Falling Frontier. Aka modern frigates in space, perfect

[tepid arrow]

I wish we had vertical versions of the Corvette Interiors, or at the very least the ability to rotate them

[manic tangle]

What do you mean? Like the habs pointing up or down?

You can do that with some glitching.

[tepid arrow]

More or less put on its side

mostly to make a more elegant stairway to the second floor of a corvette

[manic tangle]

How would having it sideways do that though? lol

[tepid arrow]

Oh right

Unrelated to the whole sideways hab modules, I'd love for more themed modules

[manic tangle]

More cockpit types would be good

Like a fighter jet style one that’s longer and thinner

[tepid arrow]

Would love modules based on Sentinels or even something more or less based on Star Wars

[manic tangle]

There are some Atlas corvette modules

[tepid arrow]

No Habitation or Cockpit modules though

[manic tangle]

Though they were an expedition reward

I wish the colors came in solid colors

Rather having to deal with 2 colors no matter what

[tepid arrow]

Agreed

I'd also love for more color options

[manic tangle]

Sometimes the color options suck and idk why they’re so limited or lack certain ones

[tepid arrow]

I prefer the whole "Primary Secondary Tertiary Color" system that our own characters have

[manic tangle]

Like I wanted to make a solid black hauler but I can’t do that because the colors it comes with for the one color options don’t include black

Like why? lol

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

The video about Corvette colors will help. You can do jet black, hot pink and many other colors not normally part of the Corvette pallet

[abstract crow]

About to drop my latest progress on my monstrosity as soon as I can actually get to the cockpit. The hab glitch can really make habs... Glitchy.

[abstract crow]

Working on the interior now, and there's a few cosmetic changes I'll make to the exterior, but my latest iteration of the Eclipse is looking real good.

[terse kestrel]

Your system hiding the frames and network connection in the cellar to protect them from the flying DDOS attack.

[abstract crow]

I suffer so others may not

[balmy cedar]

I feel like an outcast with my tiny Corvette

[manic tangle]

neat Pelican

[balmy cedar]

Thx

It's my daily flier

It brings me more joy to fly than my other ships for some reason

[terse kestrel]

Smalelr Corvettes are the best. Simply because the more you add to them and the more you do to them the more dice rolls for bugs you're including.

[balmy cedar]

Oh yeah

[terse kestrel]

My bigger ones have their quirks and issues. But my small ones are super smooth and hardly ever suffer problems

[balmy cedar]

It's not the fastest. Like 10 away from 2000 manueverability

[wraith quiver]

the side thrusters have a rockhopper under the support. other than that i think its the arcadia modules flipped upside down

[spare sedge]

i havent lets see it 🙂

[short herald]

If I have a launch thruster auto charger installed in my corvette, will it recharge while the ship is 'hovering' or is it required to be actually on the ground?

[terse kestrel]

It constantly recharges no matter if you're flying the ship or have it landed.

[velvet ruin]

I think the azimuth reactor also does the same thing

[terse kestrel]

Yeah

[short herald]

Are you talking about the one you can build, or the 'reactor' that recharges? Or both?

[terse kestrel]

Both. It's the same buff. The reactor you can install in your Corvette does come with better boost though. That's really the only difference between the two

[short herald]

I seem to remember the non-corvette ships had to be landed for the auto-charger to work - unless the Devs changed that also

Could this happen just for corvettes?

[terse kestrel]

I think that may be the case. I don't have the reactor for recharging. Just use the regular tech. And I've never seen it waiting to charge until I'm landed.

[short herald]

Welp I'm gonna be logging in soon anyway, I reckon I'll investigate this

[terse kestrel]

That may be an oversight on their part actually. I would think it should be the same on both legacy ships and Corvettes

[short herald]

Have the Devs fixed the 'space rescue' mission failing with corvettes?

My freighter could really use the added storage

[spare sedge]

oh yeah i did. super clean!

[merry wyvern]

no, youre not an outcast it looks amazing

[rugged shadow]

just made my first 'vette

this system is really fun to mess with

[merry wyvern]

have u tried offset building?

[rugged shadow]

theres what now

[merry wyvern]

yk the vent pieces

ducting outlet

specifically

you can put it on a hab

delete the hab

then snap another hab onto it somewhere else

and it gets off the normal building grid

[rugged shadow]

neat and uh no i havent

but it sounds cool so i may try it later

[merry wyvern]

you can make really detailed builds with it

what the actual FU-

[rugged shadow]

oh what how

how do you even like get that size

[spare sedge]

.

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

[fair pilot]

if you on PC you can use camera mod to remove stuck pieces.

[spare sedge]

oh nice. which one though? there seems to be multiple

[fair pilot]

uhhhh let me check

https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3835?tab=files

Build cam radiues

[spare sedge]

👀

sick

[fair pilot]

You'll have to "fly" around for some time, but you eventually will find the place to glitch through the bounds

iirc, somewhere to the end of the station to the left, if watching from the entry

[glass surge]

If you're start modding on PC make sure you start making regular backup saves of your files

[spare sedge]

ahh i see. yea ive goten actually stuck like that before 😅

[tough plank]

[fair pilot]

I'm only installing mods that are not affecting the gameplay

[spare sedge]

yea i dont have any this would be my first

[terse kestrel]

With this game's spaghetti code not even the devs know what is affecting what 😂

[glass surge]

No Man's Spaghetti

[spare sedge]

idk if its the case but so far it seems like theyve focused on making the game able to handle glitch builds rather than blocking off the glitch methods which is promising

[solar dagger]

I use NomNom Save Editor for that, I can go back to most of the auto-saves NMS made or manual saves I made in-game

and of course, I can make backups and saves when I'm not playing

[solar dagger]

would be cool if they fix the glitches and add them as features

[terse kestrel]

They keep the ones that are fine for us to use and do away with ones that either break our game or affect players around us. Like the method to build vertically with a Corvette in your base was taken away. Because of how unstable it is. But the other vertical method remains.

[bronze lark]

how did you even build smth like that

That’s a mod

[merry wyvern]

what?

[tall trellis]

Precision said he didn’t use mods

[spare sedge]

NMS base builder app

[tall trellis]

That’s a mod

[spare sedge]

its technically a standalone app not a mod

[merry wyvern]

no shit he used mods lol

[spare sedge]

but within the universe of modding still i would say, sure

[bronze lark]

Correct

[bronze lark]

Its not lol

Dont be dense

I can have ZERO mods installed and can still have this in game

[spare sedge]

i guess the game itself isnt being modified per se if it can already handle that ship size

so ya

[bronze lark]

Yea I def dont have any 3rd person view with it either its too giant lol

[nimble stirrup]

regardless of modded or not, the creations are still magnificent

[spare sedge]

i mean its wild

[bronze lark]

I do have a mod to increase 3rd person view distance and photo mode boundaries and speed to capture thwse shots

[spare sedge]

really showcasing what the game engine can do imo

[bronze lark]

Helps a ton

Yea its not a crazy bad engine they can fix lots of things just have to get on top of it

Would be nice to have auto turrets and mountable turrets

Would make MP amazing

I play X4 foundations too idk if you guys are familiar its single player only but great game they have auto turrets and u can control your own 3rd person cameras as u wish

Could use an on foot overhaul tho

[bronze lark]

Thank uuuu

If u guys wanna tour in game just lmk

Hangar and bridge

[spare sedge]

its a good solid foundation to expand on now whereas other space games i played tried to do too much all at once. its not easy to incorporate sandbox into multiplayer with a good storyline and a massive universe where everything has to work everywhere. im impressed so far

[bronze lark]

Agreed

[bronze lark]

Im like 50+ hours in

Its 19km long in game so 1:1 canon

The pieces are oversized im at 2300 pieces but I have less than 100 corvette pieces

The bottom piece i did last night took like 2 hours or so lots of layering and using a variety of pieces

[spare sedge]

are you at least making like subframes to copy and paste for large flat areas and repeated features? or is everything one piece at a time?

i remember the app having such a feature when i played around with it. i cant imagine building something that big that precisely without it

[spare sedge]

1:1 DCS too?

😮

[bronze lark]

Yea i prefab some pieces into one so it behaves as a singular piece

[bronze lark]

Yes 🙂 lol

Dimensions in that pic above

In game units

[spare sedge]

i remember building one in Robocraft years ago XD its a solid design for protecting core components with useless body pieces

[bronze lark]

I do have quite a few console players test these builds and they say it runs fine

We were able to take these pics

All 3 ISDs loaded in fine

The devs have shouted out some of these and they actually do have some of them in their corvette roster so best believe we are getting upgrades to be able to preload more pieces and better performance overall

[spare sedge]

makes sense if the engine is supposed to be able to handle infinitely generated worlds. my bet is all of this gets incorporated over time

i managed to nab an S-class Resurgent class yesterday and theyre already larger than the space stations

[bronze lark]

NOICE

[terse kestrel]

I'm on Xbox One and just one of those would lag my game out. Usually crashes if I don't reload

[spare sedge]

i mean you can already build on the outside of the freighter so it would be easy to keep expanding that with more parts i imagine

[terse kestrel]

Freighter is mostly visual assets with some collision points. And it's really not all that solid overall. Which is why it's so easy to fly into them and get stuck

[bronze lark]

Older consoles yes

[spare sedge]

yea that is quite annoying. definitely some issues to work out but theres light at the end of the tunnel😅

[spare sedge]

that seems way too small to be TPt's tho

i dont think his would even fit

[terse kestrel]

Exactly

[bronze lark]

Lol thats my V2

[terse kestrel]

If that one at a fraction of the size is doing that to other people's games how can one multiple times bigger not do the same?

[bronze lark]

If u ban it the game should block it from your MP until u get a better system

[terse kestrel]

An individual's system may be able to handle it. But the devs won't expand the build limit until it stops impacting other players around them.

[bronze lark]

You mentioned u have am xbox one

[spare sedge]

yea its like the coding for ships in space can handle it but not for when youre on the ground yet

[bronze lark]

Thats an outdated console.

[terse kestrel]

And yet you still got a ton of people playing this on the Xbox One and ps4.....

[bronze lark]

PS4 is outdated too

[spare sedge]

maybe a special planetary base in every galactic center that you have to do a quest for and you unlock freighter building centered out of that base. a massive airfield type thing

[terse kestrel]

But yet the devs keep improving and updating the game for them.

[bronze lark]

People with Series S or X have handled bigger builds just fine or a PS5. I have a builder on the team that has made the Death Star , Supremacy and Starkller Base and he builds on laptop then exports to his PS5 plays just fine

[tepid arrow]

I wish this was a feature instead of a glitch tbh

[bronze lark]

Like Kuat shipyards yea

[terse kestrel]

I'm not saying they don't run fine for the person themselves. Being able to utilize these big ships yourself on consoles is generally fine. But the impact of randomly dropping these on all players in multiplayer situations is not the same.

[spare sedge]

some persistent war mechanic between the factions with massive battles you can warp your custom fleets into would bring it all together 👀

[terse kestrel]

Once it's loaded up for you it's loaded up. But as soon as you drop it on a bunch of people in multiplayer they then have to wait for it to load. And as we've seen it can take several minutes of low frame rates for them to load

[bronze lark]

We dont go into the Anomaly with 1:1 size builds over 200m

[terse kestrel]

This is the reason they generally don't allow modded Corvettes in the Corvette showcases. Even though some people bring them.

[bronze lark]

At least with MP turned on

This one is only 300 pieces and a handful of corvette parts

[tepid arrow]

Kinda wanna make a nice looking Corvette that isn't like, a super-RV like my previous ones (iconically corvettes like the GDS Goonderslatch)

[wanton river]

I've tried but mine end up looking like turtles.

[spare sedge]

play around with an even number of rows

a corvette thats 2,4 or 6 rows wide

hide or blend the offset cockpit into the design

[terse kestrel]

I have this. I've duped it three times now. And keep building new Corvettes off of that platform.

[tough plank]

Why?

[terse kestrel]

It's pretty much just a reactor and weapons core. Contains every essential part.

From there I can add whatever hull, wings or other parts to build a new Corvette off of

[spare sedge]

yea i only build with easy entry cockpits like that now to maximize room for other parts

definitely the way to go

[terse kestrel]

All three of those were built off of that core.

[abstract crow]

I need to find out how to dupe my new ship so I can put it first in my ship list.

[spare sedge]

if i have to have at least 1 hab, its more useful to me as a structural part in the design somewhere

[terse kestrel]

Expeditions. Copy your ship into expedition. At some point remove or add one part to it and change its name. It's now classified as a completely new ship

Just make sure your first ship is selected as your current one when you copy it from the expedition terminal in your main save. And overwrite that ship

[spare sedge]

the waterbug looking one is 🤌🏿

[terse kestrel]

It's the only one that I set up a 360° build template for. And I don't feel like going through that again

It took longer to set up the framework than actually build a ship.

[spare sedge]

i said that after going through hell to figure out the podracer then i went for a vertical Slave 1 😅

[terse kestrel]

Vertical is another one. That access ramp trick is so annoying to get properly centered. I did that once and I'm good

It doesn't help that the light and the triangle on the roof of the access ramp are slightly to the left of center. Throws you off if you don't compensate

[spare sedge]

yea the trick is to go a little off center from that lightbulb actually. perfectly center makes it wonky

[spare sedge]

exactly

[tough plank]

I recently discovered that walkways count as habs, and they don't need to be connected to the cockpit/landing bay to be a lble to finalize the corvette.

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Check out the video titled openhab/dropship. I think you might find that one useful. If you haven't done it already.

[spare sedge]

yea its super convenient. ill actually go for one large hab sometimes instead of a walkway cause they can provide 1x2 structure to connect many things with one piece

[tough plank]

Yeah, but I try minimum amount of prices when I swap ships through NMA.

[terse kestrel]

If you're looking for quick entry and exit and fast teleport out of your cockpit that's definitely the way to go

[spare sedge]

like when i made the spine of the Slave 1 i left one big vertical hab in there to keep everything touching

[tough plank]

Is there a way to place doors on the inside of your corvette?

[terse kestrel]

Nah

But you can place a tapestry or carpet over the entry. And walk through them

[spare sedge]

side doors no, hole in the top or bottom of a hab yes

[terse kestrel]

You have to prop it up on something to place it though

[tough plank]

Thanks for the video, that'll be helpful.

[spare sedge]

hookah lounge door. nice 😅

[terse kestrel]

When it comes to decorations a lot of them sink into the walls of the hab. And you can often fix this by placing a poster behind it first. It lifts out the physical point and forces the object out of the wall

[terse kestrel]

Every one of my Corvettes turns into a crash pad and I can't help it

[spare sedge]

only one of mine has some interior decor. i do need to get on that.

[spare sedge]

my car one has side entry through the vents but not a true door

i could line the floor with base tiles and make it an actual room 🤔

[terse kestrel]

Are you talking like planet side base tiles? You would have to use a mod for that. The glitch method no longer works

That's why I use posters or carpet

[spare sedge]

Maybe a floor made out of the decorative parts that do stick to them? Like a million little light bulbs XD

[terse kestrel]

We had a guy in here yesterday too many lights on his Corvette he fried his electricals 😂

All the lights shut off

[spare sedge]

Lmao

Wow so he had more than I had to put to create the podracers electric arc I've got at least 200 on there

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Zoom in on that first one 😂

[spare sedge]

thats wild lol. this made me think of a corvette idea where its a house adorned with Christmas lights and decor

might have to make that this month

or next month i mean

judging by that pic the limit seems to be around 1000 lights which is plenty

[terse kestrel]

1000 💀

[low saddle]

so Adjacency matters by how many tiles are in contact, so if you put one down and the four directly connecting, they'd amp the center pretty big, and you'd get the sides amped by putting in the corners to make it a 3x3 grid, right?

and on another vein, do modules themselves take damage, or is it just the ship as a whole?

[glass surge]

modules do take damage even in a corvette so carry repair kits kits in ship just to be able to repair stuff

[low saddle]

ok, so I was right in sheltering the important techs like reactor and shield gen. groovy.

[spare sedge]

has anyone figured out how to prevent them from scrambling themselves every time you start the game?

[glass surge]

I don't think that placement in tech slots will protect it just keep your shield up in fights will and be careful if you get stuck in ships / stations in space as that will rapidly lower your shields and damage modules

[weak jacinth]

My Corvettes all turn into squares

Just flying square

[low saddle]

oh it's not in the slots, Physically, I enclosed them.

[glass surge]

No there is nothing a player can do about that but the next experimental patch that will come into the next patch has a possible fix

[spare sedge]

i have to redo my modules every time its infuriating

[spare sedge]

praying for this

maybe they were going for ultra realism in that spaceship modules will be AI based in the future and thus have a mind of their own

[tough plank]

Probably. That could happen.

[spare sedge]

we build them as a fighter and the AI decides "No, i want to be a slow cargo ship!"

[tough plank]

Does anyone think NMS will come out with living corvettes and freighter?

[tough plank]

That doesn't happen to me. IDK

[terse kestrel]

"Living freighter update when?" has been a meme for years

[tough plank]

Dang. When will it become a reality?

[spare sedge]

for me it seems like if i dont fill out every module they will even scramble mid game between landings, but if i max out the slots they will be stable for the duration of a game but will also scramble when i restart the game, then i have to uninstall some to move them around cause they cant be moved around when maxed out. super lame

i wonder if this setting is somehow affecting that

[low saddle]

mine's more of a flying triangular pyramid

[spare sedge]

the hardest thing to do with any sort of CAD project is throwing the whole thing out and starting over but it does force you to get creative. i had a hard time getting rid of my first corvettes cause i grew attached 😅

[random zinc]

What happens if you recruit a pilot into your squadron after trading them a corvette?

[tough plank]

When will we get sentinel corvettes?

[random zinc]

I doubt it, but I can mostly predict when it will happen to me, mostly when I summon a different ship on a space station or the anomaly

[random zinc]

Some people consider that now, with the Aeron parts

[tough plank]

I think that's an Atlas corvette, not sentinel. Moving corvette parts would be really cool.

[random zinc]

I heard Aeron is what the sentinels used to be called

[spare sedge]

does this count?

[tough plank]

I'd say no. I mean big sentinel interceptors.

[tough plank]

But it looks cool.

[spare sedge]

oh like them ahving Corvettes

yea that would be good cause rn they stand no chance against corvettes we just melt them instantly 🤣

[tough plank]

I know, right. I fought a few in my S-Class corvette, and only Infra-Knives and Photon Cannons.

[spare sedge]

might just do that rn for fun

[unborn basin]

my corvette is super ugly, i really need help with it

[spare sedge]

wat?! thats freaking EPIC

[unborn basin]

the back looks really weird

[spare sedge]

looks like a legit Sentinel frigate to me

i like it

[tough plank]

I think it looks awesome.

[unborn basin]

i might have to tweak the back, i don't like how uneven it is

[spare sedge]

perhaps sinking the engines into the body so theyre shrouded by the Aeron parts but other than that its perfect

[unborn basin]

ah thats a good idea

[spare sedge]

did it sort of jankily here before i knew how to offset but it came out ok

[unborn basin]

ah i see

[terse kestrel]

Whenever I sell an NPC my Corvette it just vanishes with them. They don't go standing by it

[spare sedge]

another simple fix that would make a huge difference is an option to switch between the simple grid for new players and the full grid which includes the offset grid when you wanna get more complex. the way Poly Bridge does it

[spare sedge]

they tried. poor lil guys

[solid sage]

what if there's hidden parts for corvette to find.?

now that is a ?

[spare sedge]

insane carrier ship at Anomaly rn

What int he world is that stone textured stuff???

[tropic sapphire]

im sorry what in the mod is going on lol

[spare sedge]

lmao

were gonna need a bigger toilet

Mega Poop Cannon

dude made a whole squadron as one ship wow

🤣

[velvet ruin]

yo got a goated sc layout (i think)?
ill send the corvette in a minute bec its pretty dang cool

should i use one thing for this or two? what system

the corvette has phase beams and infraknife as weapons btw

i want this corvette to be a very fast and nimble deadly fighter kind of corvette

[spare sedge]

id do two medusa and cockpit on two and all my thruster modules around the other two in 3x3

but thats not for everyone i like to max maneuveribility

[velvet ruin]

hrmmmm

dang just this is almost 2k

and its c class

no procedural upgrades

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

[terse kestrel]

It's a good layout and you could roll 12 new Corvettes and not see a better one

[velvet ruin]

ikr

glad i got it on this corvette

[terse kestrel]

I'd be duping that thing every expedition that came up. And then build off that platform from then on

[hardy oracle]

It's not bad, but generally you want to avoid supercharged corner pieces. You won't be able to stack the supercharged module with much adjacency.

[glass surge]

I've easily done a lot of corvette rolls and haven't found a solid 4SC square slot layout yet and i've taken screenshots of many a bad or interesting rolls.

Ideally you'd want to get a 4 SC square in columns 5 and 6 in row 2 and 3 or somewhere not in a corner since for Corvettes SC slots don't open up lower than row 3

[hardy oracle]

I think I managed an ideal layout for my goals, I have 3 in a row for maneouvrability and 1 elsewhere for the core weapon system. Though I would have been just as happy with a nice cluster of 4 for even more maneouvrability 🙂

[abstract crow]

So much room for activities. The downside? The damn floor isn't centered...

[tropic sapphire]

im generally confused as to how this is done LOL or what im even looking at

[abstract crow]

Interior of my cruiser corvette. Made it mostly hollow so I can customize it better.

[terse kestrel]

Take your week to decorate that 😂

[abstract crow]

It might take two or three if I try to fix the floor.

[tropic sapphire]

you used base building materials to create the room?....why am i asking such a stupid question LOL of course so i just wish i could do the same sorta. i refuse to build anything complex again...im too afraid what happened yesterday will happen again

[abstract crow]

Technically, I used base parts for the floors only. That massive space is just carefully building around the area. Open concept corvette designs are fun.

[terse kestrel]

Before and after

Guess where the phase beams are hidden ....

[viscid minnow]

We got elite dangerous ship interiors in nms before ship interiors in elite dangerous (100 parts max)

Thoughts on this ED inspired anaconda?

[velvet ruin]

f l a t t

[abstract crow]

Embrace the flat

Someone needs to build a stadium corvette. Play various sports while flying through space.

[velvet ruin]

real

[tropic sapphire]

dude thats so cool!

[velvet ruin]

this was that corvette btw. really happy with this one. Needs a name tho!
ill try to get better pictures tomorrow

[low saddle]

I think I've managed to squeeze all the adjacency out of this thing I can....

and yes, the efficient thrusters are supercharged.

[velvet ruin]

you even managed to squeeze the image too somehow 😭 🙏

[low saddle]

my monitor runs an odd resolution because it's a TV

[tough plank]

For The Colossus I used glitch building for the middle jets.

[elder iron]

Alright so... you havent, actually. You could probably switch the places of the engines and shield pieces, then the engines would be giving adjacency to the pulse drive, and the habs and landing gear parts can be swapped places too

[terse kestrel]

Most booster can be meshed together. They are like 90% visual assets

[thick siren]

wow this looks awesome. is this using expedition 20 parts?

[low saddle]

yeah, he used those, as did I.. they also give you a buildable positron ejector

[cursive lark]

Not the person who posted but yes it is

[thick siren]

dang i missed that expedition. think i gotta wait til mid december for the redux

[terse kestrel]

January.

But check #nms-lfg-or-trades plenty of people been getting atlas parts off other players that way.

Remember you only need one of each part in your inventory to turn on free crafting and build as many as you want. No shame in doing that. A lot of people build their Corvettes in free crafting

Or you can build a Corvette in creative, do the next expedition with that save and then transfer corvette to main save. Plenty of options

[low saddle]

hmmmm... Free Crafting.. now that's not a bad idea.

[spare sedge]

check dm

[solid sage]

im doing a ship design from star citizen atm as my Corvette still designing it not done yet

Name Hercules

[velvet ruin]

thanks! and yeah, a lot of aeron parts

[tough plank]

If anyone's wondering, I built The Colossus with glitch building for the middle thruster, and it's over 100 pieces.

[solid sage]

Here's a sneak peak of Hercules ship it's 60% but still working on it no glitch and exploit none of that so ive designed this much of it so what u think of this ship from Star Citizen

[terse kestrel]

No shame in it at all.

The real grind and power of Corvettes are slots, class and tech. So if you don't want to grind for parts on top of that.....don't bother

[solid sage]

Even tho doing best of my ability to make it good

[terse kestrel]

@real talon

Saw you Vette in photo chat. Looks awesome. Wanted to show you a quick trick for that decal to add a 3D effect and take the lines from the ship out of it

Atlas poster > circle rug > decal

[hard fjord]

Kinda wish you could apply decals to specific objects.

[terse kestrel]

Decal placeholders on build assets would be perfect. Such as a spot where decals are preset to go and you can just choose which one goes in place

[real talon]

Thanks a lot! For one, i love these decals blending in the surface, but i've attached a moltitool rack on top of a small planer on the wall to get better depth, so i'm using that trick already when things need leveling. 🙂

But my new cockpit i like. Christmas feeling is on already 😄

[jade ginkgo]

once breach redux is avaliable im copying this

[velvet ruin]

you must pay me royalties in geknip i mean uhh nanites

[jade ginkgo]

Ayooo

🤨🤨

[jade ginkgo]

2 nanites (final offer)

[velvet ruin]

1000 quicksilver and i give you the entire ship (with the base terminus in it)

(there is a base terminus sitting on a table inside)

[jade ginkgo]

wait

i meant it as a joke

:p

[velvet ruin]

2 bajillion quicksilver (final final offer)

[jade ginkgo]

[terse kestrel]

Oh that's nice.

[velvet ruin]

i have a lot of expedition rewards to buy

[velvet ruin]

yo thats fire

[terse kestrel]

All you need is 3,000 Quicksilver and you can buy everything in the shop 👀

[jade ginkgo]

cap

void egg costs like 3400

[velvet ruin]

ok but i have the consumerism mod

so i can also buy all the expedition rewards and twitch drops (but idc about those)

so thats

[terse kestrel]

True. That one is more.

[velvet ruin]

a bit more

That's why you only need 3K

[velvet ruin]

the left arm is like 2400

#nms-corvette-discussion message

[velvet ruin]

booo!!!!!!

i wanna work for my rewards!!!

otheriwse i'd just add all of the rewards with my save editor and call it a day

[terse kestrel]

Sometimes I grind. Sometimes I cheese. There's enough grind in this game to get your fill 😂

[velvet ruin]

exactly

[jade ginkgo]

mannn

[velvet ruin]

that is why i build my corvettes with crafying set to free

[terse kestrel]

Like I grind out corvettes. But cheese duping them in expeditions when I have a good one

[spare sedge]

took 5 days to get an s-class freighter i wanted so ya

[jade ginkgo]

i dont wanna grind for corvetter parts

[velvet ruin]

but because im buying rewards from expeditions i havent played i wanna make it feel like i earned them

[velvet ruin]

set crafting to free problem solved

build away

[terse kestrel]

I can feel that 100%

[velvet ruin]

turn it back on after

[jade ginkgo]

im js gonna find a zenith reactor and dupe it

[jade ginkgo]

survival mode dude

[velvet ruin]

cooked

[jade ginkgo]

na bro

its cool

welp

i find it more fun

[velvet ruin]

Get 1 of each part... and dupe them ....

[jade ginkgo]

js the zenith reactor

i can exchange one reactor for any piece

[jade ginkgo]

using creative takes away all the fun imo

[velvet ruin]

Any name ideas?
I might try Scarlet Wrath

[velvet ruin]

Fair enough :D

[terse kestrel]

That side profile.....that's an obvious Raven

Yeah....Raven

[velvet ruin]

oooo

[terse kestrel]

That's metal af

[velvet ruin]

Wb...

Scarlet Raven

[terse kestrel]

It's as edgy as the ship. Fits 100% 😂

Gonna make the orange suits in the anamoly hot with that one

[velvet ruin]

I love it

[nimble stirrup]

Let's keep memes like this in #memes🤡 . NMS channels are NMS-media only, @velvet ruin

[velvet ruin]

Ok

Uh

Anyway

[terse kestrel]

Chonky

Fat boy has 4800 manueverability though.

Peak Corvette form

[velvet ruin]

"this is the ideal male form. you may not like it, but this is peak male performance"

is 4800 like a lot better than 2000

[swift mist]

i heard it doesn't matter past a certain point

like the numbers change but effectively no difference the higher you go

[terse kestrel]

4800 is more than enough for a small craft. That's this one's max but I broke adjacency on reactors to drop it to 3800. More controllable and less jerky

But larger craft do need higher manueverability

[honest lance]

This is inspiring pathfinder, I'm wondering what else should be done with it before I upgrade it to S class

[swift mist]

for mini corvette enjoyers, you can offset the arcadia sublight thrusters to join at the center 1 full level below a hab

clips into the interiors to create counters but still very useable

[solid sage]

Front and Rear but have to fix the tail so what u all think of this Crusader C2 Hercules Starlifter me did my best to make it look good but few things ive have to adjust tho

[spare sedge]

i did a thing

[cursive lark]

Anyone built the hail mary from project hail mary? Either the book or movie version, I want to build one and was curious to see if people had already done it

[wide ferry]

guys im lowk having a crisis lmao what do i put in this back area

another angle

shit looks wierd lmao

[spare sedge]

looks clean to me idk

fixed that blocky front end

[wide ferry]

😔

im spamming habs until it looks decent

maybe a 2x1 slope to replace the thing you have highlighted

but generally you want less habs to keep it sleek

[wide ferry]

ok i made some improvements

[rugged shadow]

to whoever has the giant radiant pillar thats currently in the space anomaly you are so cool

[storm imp]

Is there a way to paint the interior of the corvette?

[solid star]

inspired by TIE Interceptor

[crude wind]

The truth and reconciliation WIP without mods. I'm not very good at building Corvettes but for what I had to work with I'm pretty happy with this so far.

[fast geyser]

the atlas parts look so damn good

[weak rune]

This is Stumpy, my brand new build and corvette. Traded away an A class because the sc slots were too separated. Question on how corvette sc slots are distributed. Randomly throughout the grid or randomly in newly added slots? Is it just roll dem bones when upgrading class?

Wish there were Cowlings with no deformations on the surface. Straight on wedge.

[hoary agate]

For those who might be intrested

[weak rune]

How do you determine class on a reactor .....? Is it class of corvette?

[hoary agate]

Reactors with class are for ships. Not corvettes

Reactor corvette parts dont have C-S class

[weak rune]

What's with the 1 2,3 different stats for the parts?

[hoary agate]

Bc stat changes with adding more of same part.

[terse kestrel]

Did you make that? Either way thanks for sharing it.

We need that in channel pins.

[hoary agate]

I didint make that

[weak rune]

And I be saving for reference tyvm

[terse kestrel]

Love how they include stats for scaling loss of multipels

That makes it a really good calculator.

[dense timber]

Tried to make my own corvette based on references rather than a guide for once.

Based on the UNSC Lancer-class Corvette from Halo.

I think it's roughly 1:3 scale.

Any tips?

[terse kestrel]

Who is the guy that was building those giant Star destroyers bigger than a freighter? He mentioned his friends successfully porting those big ships to their PS4s through cross saves and save edits.

[stuck burrow]

is there a way to put that star destroyer to my ps5 somehow?

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

That's who you need to ask.

[stuck burrow]

@hoary agate did u try it or you know it doesnt work?

[terse kestrel]

The person in that message is the one of the ones building all of these giant star destroyers. Currently working on his v3.

[stuck burrow]

alr ty i will try to talk to him

[hoary agate]

Consoles have 100 part limit. So i dont think big builds will work

[terse kestrel]

The Star destroyers we are talking about are under the 100 part limit.

[stuck burrow]

dont they use decorations like furnitures tho?

[terse kestrel]

They're mostly decorative and scaled up parts. But they are under the limit

[hoary agate]

Oh ok.

[hoary agate]

Decors count toward base parts count

[wicked dagger]

anyone having a problem trading parts?

i seem to trade - loose teh parts and not get what I was trading for ... Grrr

[terse kestrel]

Do you mean with other players or npcs?

Oh the Corvette part shop. They can end up in your inventory, in the part cache, in the ship that you currently have summoned or the next ship in your summon pool

[spare sedge]

my favorite method tbh.

[dense timber]

I suck at making things look right.

That's why I just build original stuff. Then I can argue my ships are ugly because that's what I was intending

I used those two sites. There are a ton of ships between them that you can look at in a 3D model. Perfect for getting build ideas for Corvettes
