[spare sedge]

it might be a little big overall if you start this way but that nose shape is doable if you go two wide with an offset cockpit and mount the side shield on the centerline as well

you could add a bottom layer to get the proper height

[dense timber]

Bullking up would be nice, but I'm already at part limit.

[spare sedge]

you could make the top of the nose out of 4 consecutive 1x2 speedbird cowlings that are overlapping to give it a subtle central spine

[hardy oracle]

This does not match the numbers I am seeing on my ship, is anyone getting these specific numbers? Also, the third medusa can have stats if you let them. The only reason to allow cockpit stats to overwrite them is laziness (Which to be fair, is totally a valid reason given the small difference)

[hoary agate]

Idk if order of instalation maters or if the space station maters. Needs more investigation.

[terse kestrel]

These are just the base numbers that you get. But it doesn't take into consideration what order you are placing them in or the position you are putting them on your ship.

I know what booster that gives 9% maneuverability can swing wildly depending on where it's placed on the ship. And that factor is more into your own build

There's no rhyme or reason to it that I can see either. When I placed these boosters backwards on this Corvette one booster gained maneuverability and the other lost maneuverability

Top one gained. Bottom one lost

[distant saddle]

do you guys see where the map is placed inside a barrel thing. I cant find it in my blueprints whats it called any idea ?

[wraith quiver]

think its an expedition reward

[hoary agate]

Navigation archive its called

[distant saddle]

godamn it

[pliant sparrow]

^^

[distant saddle]

i was hoping it was in the blueprints

[distant saddle]

yo lejettt i just did the roach !!!

also i shot you a DM not sure if you saw it

[pliant sparrow]

I saw! nice recreation! :

[distant saddle]

thanks but all thanks to you. But i have an issue with the interiors. Would it be possible for me to create a third level ?

[distant saddle]

I know theres a basement with the landing bay, and one more floor on top which is the cockpit area. Is it possible to create another floor at the top. Or is that it ?

Can’t seem to create another stairwell to the top

[pliant sparrow]

https://youtu.be/iVToneumKnE?si=bJFEV-qLxk6PcJjR At the 2:00 mark I put in a 3rd floor just above where the rear windows are

It only consists of two hab walkway units

[distant saddle]

Oh damn it so I messed up

Uhh do I need to dismantle the whole ship again ?

[pliant sparrow]

Not that big of an issue tbh, you can definitely just add them on there

[terse kestrel]

It really looks like you have something above it. Like reactor or something placed on that hab

[pliant sparrow]

No no lol you can edit it

[distant saddle]

The Medusa reactor

[pliant sparrow]

My guess is the medusa

yeah

[terse kestrel]

Yeah you have to remove the Medusa reactor. You can't pass through it. If there's nothing there you can climb out the top

[distant saddle]

What part do I put instead ? Like what is it specifically called ?

[distant saddle]

But @pliant sparrow put the Medusa reactor there lol

[pliant sparrow]

Nuh uh

[distant saddle]

Was it a bit forward or something ?

[pliant sparrow]

My reactors are on the more front top end

[distant saddle]

Ok let me watch the video again

[pliant sparrow]

In front of the wings

[distant saddle]

Is it here ?

Oh wait I fixed it is it like this ?

[pliant sparrow]

Yeah!

[pliant sparrow]

And replace the turret with an inverted long ramp facing the reactor

[distant saddle]

Uhh what’s it called again ?

[pliant sparrow]

I think firebird?

The long vers

[distant saddle]

Sorry I don’t see anything called firebird 😅

[tough plank]

Speedbird.

[distant saddle]

oh the speedbird cowling ?

[tough plank]

Yeah.

[distant saddle]

Is it something like this ? @pliant sparrow

[terse kestrel]

"Firebird"

Phoenix: Am I a joke to you?🤷🏻‍♂️

I can imagine Sean standing in between two HG Devs about ready to go to blows over whether or not to name it firebird or Phoenix

[abstract crow]

Phoenixbird

[terse kestrel]

Bulldogdog?

[glass surge]

Dark Phoenix bird ?

[terse kestrel]

Disney/Marvel sues

[glass surge]

no not the three circle entity trvaller

[inner walrus]

Nice Corvette, no idea how did you end up here XD

[terse kestrel]

@radiant juniper

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Look at the video titled openhabs/dropship. Super simple to do. One minute into that video. You're basically meshing the hab between your cockpit and access ramp over your access ramp. Opening up the space between them

[radiant juniper]

hmm... interesting. I guess I won't be daring to do that, though...

I really appreciate the answer, though! I was mostly just curious...

[spare sedge]

im up on most of the vanilla rotation methods now but one i cant find anything on is how to downward or upward sweep wings. does anyone know or have a video? like rotation along the direction of flight axis

[terse kestrel]

Like a 45° angle up or down?

You would need to use the vertical window placement method. But angle your ship downward when you do it. Rather than facing the planet. That will cause your window to build itself at an angle. Rather than straightforward or straight up and down. It may be tricky but after a bit of trial and error I'm sure you could do it

[manic tangle]

Here i am wanting to do it left and right down facing 45 degrees lol

[spare sedge]

ahhhh

[terse kestrel]

It's not the act of doing that would be hard. It's getting it lined up at the right angle that would be a pain

[spare sedge]

ive been wanting to make a classic dropship but i keep getting caught in Star Wars designs so i decided "why not both?". i can build an angled wing out of the 1x2 ramp pieces but theyve got that feature at the top that looks exactly like the Vesper Diffuser piece just mounted at a downward angle

[manic tangle]

Shouldnt be too hard except for getting the angles in the right spot lol

though the wings are a bit tough too

[spare sedge]

the ability to toggle between free and snap placement and a simple mirror button would clear pretty much all of this up

free place one side, mirror, done

[manic tangle]

yeh free placement would be perfect

[abstract crow]

An exact replica, I can't help you with. But there's a tutorial out there that's pretty damn close. Corvette parts only and under 100 parts total

[spare sedge]

this one? see it would kill my OCD that we have the perfect piece for that part but cant place it XD

argh

if i can somehow mirror the angle after doing this window trick, perhaps with a modified 90 degree trick, i think it might work

i may borrow the idea for the cowlings up top there though

[manic tangle]

I know what you mean, am considering make a TIE Defender lol

[abstract crow]

The tutorial will explain how exactly, but you can glitch two wedge pieces into each other to get that result

[spare sedge]

ooh that seems like a perfect use for circle methods. might take a while but that will look incredible

[manic tangle]

not certain how circle i want to make it though lol

and there isnt really a way to make the circle window work that i can think of other than a certain have with the circle window, but its not very big.

[spare sedge]

radar dome

[manic tangle]

hmmm can i paint it black though lol

[spare sedge]

yup

[manic tangle]

[spare sedge]

and then build up the frame of the windows with gray scaled down flat panels if you wanna get fancy

1x2 offset curved cowlings for the north and south "pole" of the sphere, 1/2x2 cowlings for the "tropics" and the curved 1x2 nacelles at the equator

its a tricky curve to achieve for sure

the lines kinda give you an idea though they almost look like the pieces weve got

[manic tangle]

could work yes

[velvet ruin]

The fact I thought this was an actual ingame corvette at first glance is mildly concerning

[manic tangle]

i wish we could get lines that clean

[velvet ruin]

With enough flat panels and a dream you probably could

[manic tangle]

no way to curve them lmao

[velvet ruin]

Not with that attitude

[spare sedge]

🤔

[manic tangle]

theres one mroe fish species on this planet so i can get the nanite bonus and it wont show itself >:C

[velvet ruin]

Base Builder mod would probably work better

[manic tangle]

tbh i dont really wanna cheat it other than the angles lol

[spare sedge]

i hope were not seeing a bunch of quick fixes for stuff yet because theyre preparing another big update for corvettes

[terse kestrel]

Hey remember when corvette building didn't involve gd trigonometry?

[wide ferry]

does adding more guns on the corvette do anything other than spread the projectiles around

[terse kestrel]

They improve your damage and other stats for that gun up to 3. Past that any more of that weapon platform is cosmetic.

You can have 3 of each type. Not 3 in total

[wide ferry]

are lasers supposed to one tap everything

[manic tangle]

on a quest to figure out where the hell this interceptor tracking is sending me and i think it wants me to go t the galactic center lol

now i want these interceptors to be worth it xd

[wide ferry]

do you guys love it when you press x by accident and have no fucking idea what just got deleted

[velvet ruin]

do note that you can add up to 6 phase beam platforms and they will add a damage boost i believe because they fire from all the turrets at once

[knotty escarp]

At least it's better than going to place something and the motion of clicking the mouse button moves where the thing places so it's inside something else, and you can't figure out what that "something else" is.

[analog solstice]

little question, are you able to trade the atlas ship parts? cause i've been wanting them since i missed the expedition

[shadow wraith]

Nope, you can't in terms of barter

But a player can give them to you (but you still can't craft them)

[weak rune]

I have a couple of questions about engines and reactors. I have 3 Medusa and 3 Zenith reactors loaded in this build. However I can get the 3 Zenith to load in the tech slots, only 2 of the Medusa will load. I tried the following
A. Unload a Zenith and save, 3rd Medusa doesn't load.
B. Unload both Medusa and Zenith, save and replace Medusa and save. Doesn't load. Should I unload all but one Medusa then try again? Second item is how engines load, what is the method, load in order of preference?

Apologies, should have stated i would prefer 3 Medusa and 2 Zenith to the opposite.

[random zinc]

Remove the cockpit and one medusa reactor. Put the medusa reactor back before the cockpit. The cockpit counts as a medusa reactor.

[fierce aspen]

1 or 2 better?

[old carbon]

I prefer 1

[fierce aspen]

Going with 2 🤣

[random zinc]

They both look good

[crude wind]

Hey does anyone know what mods are the best for Corvette building?

[random zinc]

I think vanilla is best for Corvette building so you have less chance of losing your work as they fix bugs

[solar dagger]

2 remembers me the style from Cylons ships in Battlestar Galactica

[manic tangle]

I have 5 on my republic cruiser and it absolutely melts things

without any other damage buffs

[crude wind]

Fair enough

[surreal thicket]

i built the worst corvette possible using a bug my friend found. anyone would like to see?

[velvet ruin]

my curiosity is piqued...

[surreal thicket]

it's name is "sad catastrophe"

[surreal thicket]

awesome

[visual rivet]

thoughts on my vette?

[surreal thicket]

one moment

much better than mine

[visual rivet]

I named her Mordred

[surreal thicket]

mine have rubbish names

here is mine

i have better

😭

[surreal thicket]

my friend found an off center bug

top right has the cockpit

currently designing a plane

what are the red spheres on urs?

i keep seeing them

[visual rivet]

i saw someone do a sick stealth bomber using the cross tech

[surreal thicket]

been playing nms for years but have notime

i just use phase beam array

[visual rivet]

theyre aeron shield generators from the breach expidition

[surreal thicket]

ah

current one?

[visual rivet]

i can give u some if u want

[surreal thicket]

its alr

[visual rivet]

might be if ur on console tbh

[surreal thicket]

im here for building

[visual rivet]

but otherwise i think its on titan rn

[surreal thicket]

im on pc

[visual rivet]

[surreal thicket]

i want the living ship bad

it looks amazing

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Offsetting and all other tricks we currently have in vanilla. Worth taking a look at those videos

[surreal thicket]

i have a planet that has low gravity

its possible to use jetpack to fly out the atmosphere

so i built a base at the brim of the atmosphere

it is ultra buggy

[surreal thicket]

thank you🥺

its easy to make it just costs lots of ferrite

[velvet ruin]

Thoughts on my vette?

[surreal thicket]

im speechless

its insane

how

how does it look like this i didnt even know these parts existed

[velvet ruin]

Lol thanks

[surreal thicket]

no problem

[velvet ruin]

Most of them are aeron parts from the breach expedition
But I also used offset and backwards habs to get them all in that position

[surreal thicket]

iah

ah

my fav thing is offsetting things

my friend did smth similarto mine

it bugged and he cant edit is ship anymore

i grabbed an S class normal shuttle

but its stats are worse than c class

spherical ships are sm better

[visual rivet]

Peak aeron user

[surreal thicket]

just noticed silksong

i need to get better at corvette designs

i use thunderbird habs

[visual rivet]

thunderbird not bad

i cant use ambassador its lighting is messed up

[surreal thicket]

yea

i find with ambassador

between rooms

it is bugged

constantly i see thru the floor

[terse kestrel]

Ambassadors are the best Habs for manual lighting. Which is why they're so white washed compared to the other ones that have more static lighting and colors schemes.

[surreal thicket]

this interior design is amazing

[terse kestrel]

By putting pill lights behind your units you're bathing the area in light. Forcing the consistent light that stops the strobing and brightness

[surreal thicket]

great job

[velvet ruin]

I didn't even think of that I got a do that cuz I used an ambassador hab on the above corvette

[velvet ruin]

This is how aeron was meant to be used 🗣️🔥🔥

[surreal thicket]

i adore ambassador refiners they look snazzy

[velvet ruin]

Why this look unimaginably chill tho

[surreal thicket]

i tried to make a cool corvette but failed

im better at function

[terse kestrel]

All of my Corvettes turn into chill crash pads 😂

Can't help it

[surreal thicket]

also looks great @terse kestrel

i got my first freighter

and found an s class frigate

as my first

it was supporter

😑

gonna go for now ill make more corvettes later

have a mini skydiving plane in mind

[muted fjord]

Guys how should I make a cool bigger corvette

A friend gave me some units to burn

And how do I make the interior look so GOOD??

[surreal thicket]

i made a nice big one

just took a screenshot

its the first one i ever made

not the best pic

and it isnt great

it is powerful though

and S class

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Check these out to get some tips on how to expand your Corvette builds. Last one on the list give some tips on how to decorate your interiors using first person view. It can be clunky

[terse kestrel]

You cooked a filet mignon....

That's beautiful

[tough plank]

Two.

[solid sage]

Have anyone did a Star Citizen corvette build on NMS yet.?

[spare sedge]

so i gave up on trying to make a proper downswept wing and made it out of wedges 🙁 i think the rest came out decent enough idk

[solid sage]

you know how to use decor parts to design ur ship

[manic tangle]

Looks pretty good

[solid sage]

This is example if you use certain decor pieces u might get what u needed to ur build there's a range limit so gotta see top right corner making sure it show ur ship name so decor pieces is attached to ur ship ive learn i build Star Citizen Hercules ship and u see what i have did now im going bk to fix the edge's

[spare sedge]

i could give it a shot but i know its gonna take hours to get the wings symmetrical 😭

Tip is take a image u doing then i use hab to level the floor by using decor piece then remove hab the used landing bay where i did the floor on both ends so if u want i can take my other Corvette to show what i mean if u want.

[radiant juniper]

I am still using the Thunderbird (aka, the one with the most messy-looking interior) hab parts because I am going for a pirate scavenger aesthetic, but the walls and floors are so detailed that it doesn't wanna not clip through carpets and any wall decorations...

[low saddle]

I have to say, the Thunderbirds are nice if you're also going for, like, Millenium Falcon feel, doubly so for the cargo bay. Mine is primarily Titan Habs, but my upper deck is Ambassador Habs, where I have the crew berths and medical equipment.

[terse kestrel]

That's one of the main reason why I use ambassador Habs. When it comes to interior decoration it's much easier to customize them.

You don't have the wires, knobs, pipes and other parts all over the walls

[low saddle]

Titan Habs are a more clean industrial look

[spare sedge]

im actually trying to build an interior on this one. got a row of regular functional habs up top, a custom hallway in the middle, and the bottom is gonna be a lounge/club

[terse kestrel]

The floor looks like it could use a good scrubbing 😂

[low saddle]

it's an industrial hauler, stuff spilled, it didn't eat the floor plating, we're fiiiine

[low saddle]

I keep meaning to ask how Hoopy you are, and if you know where your towel is.

[terse kestrel]

Current WIP. You can get some pretty massive interiors if you just turn your Corvette into an egg

[terse kestrel]

My characters name is MissingMyTowel

I'm cracked

[low saddle]

So you're Not halfway as hoopy of a frood as Mr. Beeblebrox.

[spare sedge]

i had to make a few hollow for the part limit ive been meaning to fill out the interiors

[spare sedge]

its got mothership vibes 🛸

[terse kestrel]

My buddy built an ice cream truck corvette just for kidnapping people at the anamoly.

Don't know wether to unfriend him or ask for a tutorial

[frigid depot]

Is there any way to make ”invisible” connections between parts, preferably at 1.5 walkways distance

[warm breach]

delete the parts

[frigid depot]

Then they’re not connected…

[warm breach]

delete the parts with another terminal

[frigid depot]

WHAT

THAT WORKS?

[warm breach]

yes

[terse kestrel]

When did that start working again?

Patched that out before Beeblebums vertical Base building Corvette trick

[warm breach]

it always worked, you just have to click the buying menu before doing it

[terse kestrel]

When was the last time you did it? Because it stopped working for everybody else. If it's working again that's really good

[warm breach]

1 sec ill check

still works

[frigid depot]

What exactly is it I need to do?

[warm breach]

go to the next terminal, click buy components, click buy a component, left click and click make a new corvette

[frigid depot]

Left click being confirm/shoot right?

[warm breach]

i meant right click sorry

[frigid depot]

I LOVE YOU

[warm breach]

i would love to hear that if your username was different

[frigid depot]

@remote crypt this needs to be pinned
If you go to the next landing pad, buy a module, then start a new corvette you can delete parts on other corvettes!
(Credit: @warm breach )

[terse kestrel]

Yeah was about to say we need a quick tutorial vid. I'm sure it can be short from the sound of it

[warm breach]

im pretty sure its because the buying menu is a different interaction to the terminal so it doesnt cause corvettes to dissapear when exiting

[spare sedge]

wow so the wonder projecter will change the size of the projction depending on its scale

wonder if i can make an entirely holographic hull?

[frigid depot]

Oh my god this is so cool

I CAN BUILD THE DISCOVERY A WITH THIS!

[frigid depot]

Well yes, but the A, with the detached nacelles, the one from season 3 onwards

[warm breach]

i havent watched discovery yet, but i will as soon as im done with picard season 3

[frigid depot]

Im done cooking

[warm breach]

is that the new discovery b

[frigid depot]

Nah, that’s just something I made myself

This was the original, which is why I was wondering about a way to make pieces that aren’t connected think they are

[warm breach]

i think its a bit uneven

[frigid depot]

It’s not, that’s just the camera angle being messy

Yes it is…

Why the fuck is that half a space shorter?????

[warm breach]

you got me trippin for a moment

[frigid depot]

Wait no it isn’t

Hang on

I’ll have to land to test this

[warm breach]

it yesnt

[frigid depot]

They are aligned

Both are shoulder height, it’s just the camera angle

[warm breach]

i dont think it is

[frigid depot]

Oh that

I was thinking about the engines

[abstract crow]

Asymmetrical!

[warm breach]

why are you trying to scare the Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic

[spare sedge]

bar and dancefloor coming together bit by bit 😅

[warm breach]

i dont have the patience to make such interior lol

[spare sedge]

me neither but i saw one that was so amazing yesterday i had to do something lol

[frigid depot]

Now for my next idea

There wouldn’t happen to be a way to put multiple cockpits in a corvette build and still have it valid?

[warm breach]

this is the best im doing

[warm breach]

there is

its called "mods"

or glitch building

[frigid depot]

Well that won’t work, I’m a console player

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

[frigid depot]

Same method as the disconnected parts thing?

Im gonna make a small little fleet of ships

[warm breach]

i guess placing a cockpit while having one and pressing finish build at the same time

[spare sedge]

genius layout tbh i like it

[warm breach]

but then youd only be able to have 2 at max

[spare sedge]

with that skylight

[frigid depot]

Im thinking since you can delete parts on a different corvette can you also add them?

[warm breach]

i tried it, you sadly cant

[frigid depot]

Oh damn

[spare sedge]

this guy made it without cockpits

[frigid depot]

Yeah but I want fully matching ships

[spare sedge]

like in a v formation? that would be awesome

[frigid depot]

I guess I could probably just hide the cockpit inside one of the ships and have them all have some other part at the front

[warm breach]

you know what, im gonna make this shrike into a floating engine shrike

[terse kestrel]

Best one I've seen. Made a little convoy

Not mine

[warm breach]

i love that they made everything but the main ship big

[spare sedge]

so you basically build them all like a 3d printer would and then "melt away" the scaffolding at another terminal? that sounds easier than i thought it would be wow heck yea

[frigid depot]

With the added step of purchasing a part at that other terminal as well

[warm breach]

you dont have to purchase one, you can just enter the buying menu

[frigid depot]

Oh

Even better

[solid sage]

so here's a result putting the rest of different angles in showcase so i did my best hope u like plus see what i did

Note dont have pc nms was done on ps5

[spare sedge]

i may have to bite the bullet and use panels like that too. making it with the bay open is freaking cool

mine has some odd lines that could use smoothing out like that

[solid sage]

only took me almost an hour and can go bk for adjustment

thats way that other ship there's alot i have to fix cause its the 1st ship from Star Citizen the Hercule's Starlifter

[spare sedge]

these two are really throwing the line off badly

if you mount the sphere pods on the front of some habs, you can mount an infraknife on a piece above the sphere that will actually drop it into the sphere. so they actually fire out of there

[solid sage]

ya but i take an image on google and follow by image of angle to do it perfect plus to do adjustment

and by size

[spare sedge]

thatll work for anyone wanting rounded gunpods

[spare sedge]

yea me too i was focusing on the silhouettes but the surface textures are important too for sure

[solid sage]

yup now u getting it how im doing focus on that u get it to work be creative to do what u want u design to be.

even if on console thats my tip and hint plus method to get what u want ur corvette to be and how to get the shape u want

and by imagining as u do it

this how my mind work when building corvette

[solid sage]

almost forgot while doing habs have certain area's space out then use decor like how i did with Troop carrier and Hercule's starlifter ship design thats the method i do keep that in mind so doing this u might do impossible ships design on any sytem u play on and u get good at making great shape of design u wanted. hope this knowledge helps anyone on console side of building corvette ship's.

[lament abyss]

@wide hare Please run this in #bot-spam.

[fair pilot]

Ah I hate when furniture turns into "all modules must be connected" upon edit...

Just give me "reset base" for corvettes.

[spare sedge]

might have to play around with the colors but its not bad so far

[velvet ruin]

flat panels and a dream, my friend

looks pretty good so far

[final dragon]

Reworking one of my Corvettes.

[solid sage]

agree with ya

[spare sedge]

much better in gray

[solid sage]

looks perfect

[final dragon]

And is it clear that I have no idea what I'm doing? 🤣

Here's what I have now. Any suggestions on how to actually make it look good?

[spare sedge]

youve got the perfect set up to delete the two side habs and puts two or four staggered aeron blades where they were

making one big aeron wing

[bitter minnow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/0AB6AnrE08U?si=Ho08xARjymQDxsEI

[manic tangle]

Looks a bit better

[final dragon]

Do I need to glitch build?

[spare sedge]

no cause one blade will connect to another and be fine idk if thats considered a glitch method

[final dragon]

Here's what I've got now

[fair pilot]

Is it 2 decks high? Do you need to expose the reactors?

Ah I see, 2 decks.

[final dragon]

Yeah.

I made the second deck a living area with a bunk.

Mission control beside the cockpit. Storage racks, refiners, and a nutrition unit on the first deck.

[spare sedge]

no?

idk

or like that

[velvet ruin]

With a little offset building you could probably do both of those at once

[final dragon]

I like those!

Thanks for the inspo

[terse kestrel]

Make it two level and put the top one on the bottom one.

[spare sedge]

i have no space to keep it but it makes a neat little fighter

cant tell if 2 more in the center is cool or just ridiculous 😅

[final dragon]

How do I get it to attach to the hab like that?

step 1

delete last hab and all done

the builder lets you build onto red disconnected parts and itll snap reconnect them

if theyre compatible

but you dont need that for this trick

[wanton river]

I prefer the version with two more in the middle

Is this right?

[spare sedge]

build outer blade on here first, then build the hab through it

[final dragon]

It won't let me bring the wing forward.

[spare sedge]

move the hab one forward to build the wing, then move it back to do the flipped wing

[final dragon]

Thanks! I think I'm getting somewhere.

Progress.

How do I get the front tips to touch?

[spare sedge]

same idea except with an offset

do you know how to do those yet?

[final dragon]

Nope.

[spare sedge]

gotta watch a video for that one so you can see how it happens

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Whole list of videos including the one they shared.

[muted fjord]

I’m bad at interiors any tips?

[terse kestrel]

In that link above the last video on the list is decorating tips for the Corvette. Worth the watch.

One thing you can do is posters as carpet/rugs. Placing one poster very small as a base and putting a bigger one over it. Keeping it from meshing with the floor

You can also use carpets and the tapestry to make "doors" between Habs that you can pass through

And you can put pill lights behind fixtures to create hidden area lighting. Works best in the white ambassador habs

[final dragon]

Here's what I ended up with.

[spare sedge]

have you played around with the paints? you could make it almost pitch black

the white and black swatch but inverted

[terse kestrel]

Color swapping base and freighter colors opens a load of options

[final dragon]

I just picked blue because that's always been a favourite.

I will play around before I leave the space station. Just installing tech now.

Inverted gloss, grey and blue.

[terse kestrel]

Portal coords to a super bright Corvette building bay. Less squinting.

[final dragon]

Going through the portal now.

I put a base computer down a portal and labeled it as a portal. 🤣

This is much better!

[terse kestrel]

Hell yeah. Lots better

[spare sedge]

shes a beaut

[terse kestrel]

If you put a rotated hab above the warp reactor you can turn the warp reactor backwards. That would allow you to slide that cowling back one space over the rector. Tightening it up and smoothing it out

[mild crest]

is there a new way to delete the required parts off a corvette? seeems like it was patched

[left basin]

Aura Farming 101

[terse kestrel]

Yeah they took that out in 3.12

[spice citrus]

I saw that earlier in the anomaly, super cool dude.

[daring dagger]

can someone please help me figure out how to add lights to my corvette without it not attaching to the corvette? 😭
i need to use the free cam of base building as my 'vette is huge but for some reason, its real finnicky on what stays on the corvette and what doesnt, i just wasted 3 hours of designing the lights only for it to not attach on the corvette

[terse kestrel]

The glitch for using the base free camera to place items and base parts was patched out as well. Now when you place items on your Corvette on your base those items stayed registered as base items. And stay when you take off in your corvette.

It was an extreme unstable glitch that was causing all sorts of issues. Rare they take a glitch away but that one was trashing people's save files.

[daring dagger]

nooooo

damn, oh well, hope we get free cam for corvette decor 🥲

@terse kestrel is there any way to attach lights besides manual that works currently?

[terse kestrel]

Nah. Gotta free place that stuff. Best in first person pov

[daring dagger]

🥲

[surreal thicket]

just had a nice idea

corvette interceptor

interceptors use the basic weapon (forgive me i can't remember the name)

and one odd other one

or two

[hybrid nexus]

Pretty sure I saw you at the Anamoly 😂 Also, sorry about the pic, no idea why my Steam keeps taking low quality screenshots

[remote crypt]

@hybrid nexus ^

[final dragon]

How do I rotate the hab?

[frigid depot]

[tepid arrow]

I kinda wish we could open up specific parts of habs or walkways

cuz it feels really cramped

[terse kestrel]

You can turn your Corvette into a big egg shell. Allowing big open spaces inside your Corvette

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

[terse kestrel]

Super simple to make something like this. Just the outer coverings and using flat wall panels to cover the walls. With enough walkway placement to put your storage and machines where you need them

[tepid arrow]

What?

[bleak crow]

Is that Space Station called, Bright Station?

[tepid arrow]

I personally am not a fan

[fair pilot]

So I've did something interesting with my corvette. Who gonna guess what?

[tall owl]

CHICKEN BUTT xDDDD

sorry.

[fair pilot]

❓

[abstract crow]

They guessed what.

[fair pilot]

Obviously incorrect tho

[abstract crow]

Were they, though? Did you do chicken butt to your corvette?

[fair pilot]

Not really understand this joke, can you explain?

English is not my native language.

[abstract crow]

One of the oldest jokes around. Hell, I learned it in grade school. Basically, it goes like this:
Person 1: "Guess what?"
Person 2: "What?"
1: "Chicken Butt."

[fair pilot]

Ah.

We have something similar, but as not-that-polite-answer on "what" question when it is not ok to ask "what".

[civic cedar]

Hello, If I have a corvette and start to upgrade its storage capacity using these, and then modify the corvette, do I lose the slot expansions? Same question for tech upgrades like an s class hyperdrive range extender?

[fair pilot]

if you'll remove the part that adds extra cargo, it may reduce the cargo space, yes.

like 1 to 3 places

[civic cedar]

So should I not apply any of these upgrades until I am happy with the overall corvette design as I could lose them?

[fair pilot]

until you happy with position of these specific parts

[frigid depot]

You won’t actually lose them, it’s just that the habs add cargo space

[civic cedar]

OK thanks

[fair pilot]

there is a moment when you can lose them, but at 120 opened slots

[terse kestrel]

Where cockpit?

[fair pilot]

On the front?

I mean, cockpit is fine.

[merry nebula]

omg how many rerolls and builds did you guys do to get some decent sc slots?

i cant figure out this stuff, it seems i get always the same slots

[fair pilot]

Slightly better visibility

[gritty marten]

Hey anyone know what the cargo link part is used for? Or is it just aesthetic?

[fair pilot]

cargo is added by habs by default, but also by disc, cylinder and bubble parts in the last tab.

The cylindrical black part not doing anything, and never slap it to the bottom of the hub - it is clipping inside.

[short fractal]

How come the teleport cable wont attach to my short range teleporters in my corvette to link them? I placed the pads then relogged but still just get the X when teleport cable is selected

[left basin]

Sometime I login to just go afk in the anomaly

[short fractal]

For my tie bomber

[frigid depot]

Short range teleports don’t work in corvettes iirc

[gritty marten]

Ty

[velvet ruin]

Which is a shame, but also makes sense

[tough plank]

What pieces are those?

[fair pilot]

Aeron?

[short fractal]

So to make a saucer's outer edge, is the best I can do in basebuilder to shrink the floor panel pieces and just make the circle big enough that you cant see the edges/corners?

[tardy bear]

Dont know if this was known but you can change the direction and rotate a hab with putting 4 windows on a hab while you're working in the corvette station i didnt know i always went out of the corvette station and placed a stairs so fyi for any body that didnt know it made my life a whole lot easier 😄

[visual monolith]

Mine works fine, I got like 4 of them on my ship

[short fractal]

@visual monolith No mods or tricks needed? Did you set them up recently?

[velvet ruin]

this look cozy enough?

[terse kestrel]

Are you able to turn the hab in all four directions or is it just a 180 spin?

Cause that's not only a better method than the 180° ladder spin but it's an easier way to do the 90° turn then we currently use. If you're able to make it go left and right and not just front and back

[terse kestrel]

When did short range teleporters start working for you?

There's a mod to get them working. But nobody can use them without it.

[fair pilot]

I'll check in a few minutes.

Or more... Chain of inhabited systems.

[fair pilot]

The moment you move the hub - windows self-destroying.

[terse kestrel]

Does it keep the hab at 180 when it does it

[fair pilot]

Hab kept at 180 only when it connected to something else that already 180

[terse kestrel]

Ah. Thanks for testing out

[tardy bear]

Try it see what you think its not only the rotate but you also get the side of the hab ( not sure how to explain) i just dont have to leave the corvette station to do it 😃

[fair pilot]

Can you record a video?

If I move the hub with windows, windows simply dismantling back

[tardy bear]

@fair pilot i put 4 windows on each side and chose the hab and then rotate it gives you all the angles

[fair pilot]

small hub?

I tried that.

Which type of windows?

[tardy bear]

The blue windows ( havent tried it with rhe other)

[fair pilot]

All types of windows simply disappearing when I'm moving the hab or walkway.

Can you specify which type of hab/walkway you're using?

[tardy bear]

Thats strange let me see if i can make a video about ut ill get back to you

[visual monolith]

From the start

[terse kestrel]

That makes you the only person in the game that the devs bestowed functionality to the short-range teleporter 😂

[visual monolith]

I didnt even know there was a issue till I read the original message 😭

[fair pilot]

For me they're not working because I cannot place the TP cable between them. Probably.

[terse kestrel]

Exactly. We can place the short range teleporter wherever. But it doesn't allow cable connection

Oh playstation

Weird that it works for you

[visual monolith]

Idek it just clicks right to the connection point for me

[fair pilot]

You did that near the base?

[terse kestrel]

This may be it.

I mean they took the wire glitch near the base away from us. But I don't remember ever seeing a video or anybody testing out the teleporter cable at the base

[visual monolith]

Yea, I park my corvette in my sky base

[fair pilot]

That may be the answer

Tho my corvette is too cramped (amby hubs) to try out TPs

[weary bronze]

Rate the 'vette 😎

Its gone through five redesigns, and I'm settling on this one. It will be my primary corvette for exploration. Small, two wide, one tall, pill ship. :3

wait this might not be the right channel

I'll ask a question too then
I can make multiple corvettes, right? So long as the active pool of ships isn't full?

[fair pilot]

Pretty cute.

I don't like the off-center corvettes, but this one is fun

Yep, you can have up to 12.

But somewhere around 6 I'd start exporting them with save-editor (if you can) and build new over the old.

[weary bronze]

Thank you!!!!!! :3

With this knowledge, I'm off to make a hauler corvette >w>

[fair pilot]

Because I, for example, had to get rid of few ships because I had no place...

[weary bronze]

I would love to have a corvette blueprint feature
So we can save our designs

lol

Gunter'd

[fair pilot]

For now we only have save editor and service bot

[weary bronze]

Q_Q

[terse kestrel]

So either it's general base to hook it up or specially a low orbital base.

That's huge.

[mental ocean]

u cant

[tardy bear]

Right here it also works with 1 window its new for me inside the corvette station itself btw all the windows work

[fair pilot]

Ah, I see, there is also hub underneath.

Gonna try tomorrow.

[terse kestrel]

Wow. That's huge

You can say you found something all the other testers haven't. If any have they haven't let everyone else know yet.

[fair pilot]

We have yet to confirm this on PC, but yeah

[tardy bear]

I am on pc

[terse kestrel]

I can try it on Xbox here in a bit. We need someone to try on PlayStation

[tardy bear]

Tried with big hab also works

[terse kestrel]

That's even better

The easy perfect 90° spin of the small Habs is the best part. That save a bunch of time and fine placement to get it lined up right

[tardy bear]

Yeah indeed

[velvet ruin]

Yo I gotta try this

[terse kestrel]

@copper ruin can you please pin this to the channel? Still requires testing on PS but this method replaces the previous 180° and 90° hab rotation method. Hell of alot simpler.

[nimble stirrup]

did you mean me

:v

[terse kestrel]

Oops 😬

Yes

[nimble stirrup]

anyways uh lemme see

[glass surge]

I can't duplicate that Window glitch rotation on PC steam as soon as i grab either a short hab or long hab to rotate it the windows delete and leaves just the hab.

Also what this in that video as i don't run modded and this piece isn't in the current game

[tardy bear]

Thats comes from the editor probably a piece that they will add later it doesnt do anything in the game now

[glass surge]

I'll stuck with the old method since i can't do that method

[tardy bear]

Thats strange

I dont have anything else besides the bigger area mod

[tardy bear]

Try it with a hab completely detached from other habs (when its red)

I just dont understand why the windows dissappear

[final dragon]

Let's see if I end up with a ship. 🤣

[tardy bear]

Go for it! 😀

[final dragon]

Still messing about.

I just finalized it.

[coarse fossil]

IF ANYONE HERE KNOWS WHO OWNS THIS CORVETTE & HAS THE CORVETTE'S SHIP FILE,

[velvet ruin]

Kind of a jerk move to bring a Corvette like that to the anomaly knowing full well it will lag everyone out

[terse kestrel]

Yeah those rings are obvious Corvette parts. It's well over the limit. That's not soft on frames like if it was mostly decorative.

I also just found a way to make a circle Corvette without setting up any sort of template or framework for it.

Go to nomansapp service bot and have them deliver you a Corvette that's a perfect circle. When you get it break it down and use that as a template for your own circular build

[shell summit]

Seriously?!

[abstract crow]

Pick your least favorite part

[glass surge]

Delete any parts you're using for filler

[tough plank]

Chat, I'm building a corvette with 45° habs and reversed habs.

[thick siren]

I tried to make a Gloriana Class Battleship and I hit the cap…

[coarse fossil]

Please Any1 I will build anybody a custom corvette on my editor if you give me the save file for this, I'll even pay someone

[random zinc]

what was the max maneuverability for stability in flight?

[coarse fossil]

From what the guy told me it was 12k each

[random zinc]

Hmm... I heard it was somewhere between 3000 and 4000, so we might be thinking of something totally different

[coarse fossil]

He had a modded version

[random zinc]

Ok, well I heard that above some number between 3000 and 4000, corvettes can get janky

[native geyser]

I am gonna say somthing VERY controversal

Corvettes are too big for my liking

I NEED CUSTOMIZEABLE INTERCEPTORS

[terse kestrel]

The larger your Corvette the better you want your maneuverability. A small one hab Corvette with 4,000 maneuverability is going to handle much differently than a much larger one with the same. For your smaller Corvettes going over 4000 make some squirrely

[random zinc]

This is not particularly controversial, but might get a better response on a different channel

[native geyser]

Noted

[random zinc]

How exactly does one measure small versus large? Number of habs?

[velvet ruin]

Welcome to the art of making small corvettes

[terse kestrel]

You don't have to make a large Corvette

Who said your Corvette had to be as large as possible?

[velvet ruin]

It's a fun challenge to fit as much in a small frame as possible

ATP just learn blender and make it yourself 😭🙏

(for free)

[terse kestrel]

Be honest I wouldn't be surprised if it was already uploaded to the service bot

[coarse fossil]

I've tried, but whenever I get close to finishing it, my pc deletes it

[terse kestrel]

Probably just have to look over a few pages and you'll see it

[coarse fossil]

I already checked

[coarse fossil]

There are similar ones, but not this exact 1

[terse kestrel]

Considering that it's mostly all Corvette parts and not decoration that are soft on frames my guess is they're not just going to release it for community use. Which is how most modders should be.

[coarse fossil]

We'll if the modder sees this I'll pay 100 usd for them to send me the save file

[terse kestrel]

Building a massive ship that you know is going to drop people's frames and then just putting it out there for General use is crazy to me. Complete lack of care for what your mod does to the greater community

Most modders take that kind of stuff into consideration.

[terse kestrel]

You should never have to pay for any mod or player made item in a game where the developers ask for nothing but an initial purchase

[coarse fossil]

I honestly wouldn't mind/care

[terse kestrel]

Just the service bot site requiring patreon subscription for some items is bad enough.

Treading a line over profiting off of hg's intellectual property

I'd like to see them try that on a Nintendo game 😂

[coarse fossil]

Right

[terse kestrel]

Nintendo would hire an international team to hunt those people down, find out where they are and get them shut down in their local courts

No cost would be too great

[terse kestrel]

[final dragon]

Nintendo leaves the free ones alone.

Here's one of the rooms I did.

[bitter inlet]

Got myself a good dumptruck

[final dragon]

I think having the engine clipping into the room adds to it.

[glossy pier]

Could we do a meet ?

[final dragon]

Looks maneuverable. I think, ha!

[glossy pier]

Been working on several new builds n-1 starfighter b-1 bomber and the slave 1 need help with millennium falcon

Would love to do like a corvette meet on someone’s system

[spare sedge]

has the same footprint as a large starship with 3k+ man. and 2 shot kill phase beams

just mocked something up thats even smaller with offsets. 4 aeron thrusters, 2 medusas, 2 aeron shields, 1 phase beam and 2 infra knifes packed in there. could probably fit way more guns if i work the offsets

so yea they dont have to be big at all 😄

[spare sedge]

heck yea

now weve got the horizontal and vertical versions 💪🏿

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

[native geyser]

Give me blueprint and can it go into my dreadnaught

[spare sedge]

no the corvettes will park on the outside no matter how small they are unfortunately. they should make a size limit for corvettes that if you keep it under that it allows you to land on regular pads.

[native geyser]

THIS is the main reason why I prefer normal ships, feels more imersive

[spare sedge]

i already deleted it but small corvettes are easy to make they dont require large panels, just use offsets to place things and you can really pack it in there

[native geyser]

noted

[compact jackal]

Is it possible to build a corvette with multiple floors/ ladders etc?

Also, is there a smaller size Hab? Like a 2-wall panel hab that’s shorter? I see photos of people with the cockpit out in the open. How does that work?

[spare sedge]

yes theyre called walkways but theyre 1x1 habs

the ladders will build through as many habs as you want for multiple floors

you build them on foot walking around inside

@compact jackal

[compact jackal]

Oh hab walkaway. Huh. Ok. And is that space considered inside or outside the ship for atmosphere?

[spare sedge]

outside

very convenient

[compact jackal]

It is. Huh ok. Interesting. Is the hab walkway count as the hab entirely?

[spare sedge]

yup

[compact jackal]

Oh so I can have a smaller corvette than the 4-panel hab?

I’m very very new. Just built my first basic corvette

[spare sedge]

thats right

[compact jackal]

Can I stack 2 habs on top of each other and have stairs or ladder between?

[spare sedge]

yea

[compact jackal]

I did it but the ladder stairs I bought and installed just go to solid roof. Do I need a connector part?

Like I stacked two habs one over end, and then I put the stairs inside but no hole appeared

[spare sedge]

you gotta make sure the spot above the ladder is also a hab

[manic tangle]

did you install it on the bottom hab?

and above it is another hab?

[spare sedge]

oh it glitches sometimes like that idk why just start it over

[compact jackal]

Yes. And it was two habs lined up exactly

I’ll retry again later

[manic tangle]

hmm delete the stairs and try again lol

[shadow wraith]

Now that I think of it, can we put the Utopia base computers on corvettes

[compact jackal]

Any idea on a good strategy to farm Corvette parts?

[shadow wraith]

Make a corvette, go to planet with Salvageable Parts, get off the seat, use analysis visor to look for salvage areas and pin it, hop on the corvette, fire your photon cannon on the pin

That's just about it, really

No need to land, just leave the pilot seat while the corvette is hovering

The easier way is to just edit your difficulty to make parts free, but that often removes the sense of accomplishment on building your corvette

[terse kestrel]

The real grind of Corvettes is upgrading their class and opening all their slots.

Just turn on free crafting and build something you want. Then improve it like any normal ship. All you're doing is removing the grind for aesthetic pieces

[shadow wraith]

Funny thing is you can already S-class a Corvette in under 30 minutes by just going pirate controlled systems and buying all their Tech stocks

Then selling the techs on legal space stations for like 480+ a pop

Just make sure to disable the confirmation circle while doing this so it doesn't waste much time unpacking each

While waiting, can also search for abandoned buildings for the alien eggs, since those give out nanites in bulk as well

[compact jackal]

Photon cannon? The main normal gun?

[shadow wraith]

Yeah

They can mine the salvage housing using splash damage

That way, you don't have to waste launch fuels, go down to the planet, or need to use a terrain manipulator

[compact jackal]

Oh awesome I’ll do that

[knotty escarp]

Yep. 90% of the time, it works. IF it doesn't work, just move on to the next salvage. It's literally not worth the time to dig it out. If you find a cyclotron, it might be worth flying back to the station real quick to swap it out, just for the AoE of the explosions allowing you to get another 8-9% on the success rate.

[compact jackal]

I don’t want to do free form yet. First corvette I’m happy I wanna make with fond stuff

I can go ham later

[shadow wraith]

Honestly, the bottleneck at that point is your inventory slot

[compact jackal]

I’ll have to try it

[shadow wraith]

Since the game LOVES giving out non-corvette related salvage

[knotty escarp]

But even with the photon cannon, you should be able to get enough parts to build a max part corvette inside an hour, if you're on a low salvage rate planet.

[compact jackal]

Yeah I’ve been farming the suit upgrades and I’m trying to get enough frigate parts for the matter transporter

I got a frigate before I got an exocraft which makes me laugh

No ATV, but yes massive space fleet

[knotty escarp]

frigates are definitely worth getting though. I rarely touch exocraft unless they're needed for something, and that's not often.

[compact jackal]

Seems like it.

[knotty escarp]

get a full fleet going and you can make 20-30mil creds per day for 3 minutes of effort, plus all kinds of neat bonus stuff.

[compact jackal]

Is there a non-glitch way to change the angle of wings in the corvette shop? Like, instead of horizontal, place wings like vertical fins?

[knotty escarp]

nope

a lot of parts are extremely limited in how they can be adjusted without glitching

[compact jackal]

Bummer ok

[shadow wraith]

Same as me

I had a settlement much earlier than the mission* of Laelaps (and making the Mech)

And before getting that settlement I was already rocking a Venator with a singular frigate

[knotty escarp]

I still don't have a settlement. lol.

About to hit 500 hours. Just never got around to it.

[knotty flicker]

#nms-showcase-corvettes message
I'd love some feedback on the build, if anyone would be so kind

[knotty escarp]

I dig it. Right up my alley.

[full bane]

Could someone link me to a guide/video on how to even get started on a corvette? I was shown no information on how to build a good one in game, and now I have bought a bunch of random parts and have no idea what to do with them lol. Any tips are appreciated!

I'm used to the legacy stuff lol, I feel like someone who came back to minecraft after 5 years

[knotty escarp]

I'll see what I can dig up. There's like 8 billion videos on youtube about it at this point, but 90% of is turbo-nerds building gundams and the like.

there are many good build guides on youtube, but none of them show, that you first have to transfer all your parts to the workshop cache via the workshop terminal to be able to choose a part

hey gus, i am rebuilding/rerolling for two hours and do not get a decent slot layout for the sc slots, any help or guidance?

This sc layout any good? Cant reroll anything better

thanks alot

[jade viper]

are there any news to when or if the tech scramble bug is gonna be fixed?

[civic cedar]

Had to stop building my corvette for now, in permadeath at least. Coming back to the game today, I spawned inside the corvette but also inside my base greenhouse. There was no way out. Without the previous save being different location, that would have been game over for me.
I hope a dedicated landing pad for corvettes is provided soon.

[remote crypt]

Current Steam experimental has that listed as a fix

No idea when it's getting pushed tho

[jade viper]

thats amazing news, thank you

on a different note
istg theres a piece missing please tell me im not crazy

you're not crazy. you talkin about the Thermal Grille right?

[jade viper]

oh shit yeah

[terse kestrel]

Some parts on the bottom of
second page (like 5 or so) are only available in creative and free crafting. No clue why. But can't find them in the wild and you can't purchase them in game yet

[random zinc]

to set creative corvettes apart?

[daring dagger]

is there a way to offset landing gear?

[terse kestrel]

No. That's locked into floor squares. Only by offsetting the Habs around it are you able to offset the landing gear from the ship

[daring dagger]

yea i figured, i used the rockhopper to get around centering the thruster landing gear

is there a way to make a hole in the floor? im trying to not use an extra hab for the thunderclass landing bay

[terse kestrel]

Yeah you can leave an open spot in the floor dropping out of the bottom or one to the sides allowing g easy access out of your cockpit.

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Check out Open Hab/Dropship on that list of videos

[smoky flax]

Yeah, SC slot spread for corvettes isn't important because they aren't one stat ships so spreading out the use of SC slots is best. There are scenarios where specializing a corvette in warp range only or damage only so in those cases you might want a special SC slot layout but I think that would only really be important in abandoned mode. For maximizing a corvette as an all around excellent ship you don't want to spend more than two sc slots on any one tech. IMO the best focus is 2 in main damage weapon, 1 for main shield tech, and 1 for a hyperdrive module.

[warm breach]

id keep going until atleast a 3+1 or all of them connected

[warm breach]

shields are irrelevant

[smoky flax]

Not true at all. Shields mater quite a lot in combat and the more you have the longer they last. You can refill them but that costs resources an if you ignore shields they get shredded quite fast. Even if you have great damage shields matter when you fight swarms of enemy ships.

[warm breach]

why would you have an s class corvette without a bit of sodium?

sodium is one of the easiest stuff to get

and theres no point in even recharging shield when phase beam does 600k dps

[smoky flax]

I have sodium and stacks of shield batteries but that's a distraction I don't want in combat. And the phase beam is broken...that will not last, HG are almost certainly going to fix it. Might as well replace it now because you'll have to do it later.

[daring dagger]

apparently, you cant add a stair to the thunderclass landing bay, there's metal airlock door thingy that blocks the stair leading down to it 😓

@terse kestrel ^

[warm breach]

and you dont know how shield upgrade reduction works

its a curve not a line

[random zinc]

The sides of my corvette are basically a two (long) habs stacked atop each other. What's a good decoration other than windows that I cat put on the side to make it look less blocky? I currently have an Arcadia Wing module offset into the center. Is there anything better?

[smoky flax]

I am not going to ignore shields. And the single best stat bonus corvettes have is shield bonus of up to +125%...that absolutely merits spending one SC slot to further reinforce. I have seen a million bad arguments for ignoring shields, it is nothing but a bad argument.

[warm breach]

i think you might be right

thats a whole 2%

[terse kestrel]

Oh that's what you were trying to do.

If you want that then your Thunderbird Bay has to be at a 90° angle.

[random zinc]

I think it's a matter of taste. I spent my SC slots on maneuverability.

[daring dagger]

what

[terse kestrel]

With a meshed hab over it

One sec

[warm breach]

exactly, you cant get shot if your behind them

[terse kestrel]

Ok in that list of videos there's the tutorial of how to build a circle.

Near the end they show you how to take a ladder into a Thunderbird Bay. But it can only happen if it's at 90°

[smoky flax]

That's why you don't supercharge garbage tech. For shields modules don't gain a lot, but X class have +38% without being supercharged and the main shield tech gains more by being supercharged...if you supercharge crap tech that's your fault and your total inability to understand how upgrading ships works.

[terse kestrel]

The 90° trick is also on that list

[warm breach]

i upgrades my 38% x class and it went to 45%

[terse kestrel]

No shield tech except main shield on mine

[terse kestrel]

Shields are not even a thought when using phase beams

[smoky flax]

That's 7% but the main shield tech gains more.

[warm breach]

the 125% youre talking about is more like 20%, the curve for shields is more harsh than controller input

[terse kestrel]

Can't remember the last time my ship Shields dropped in this game. It's been a long long time. I feel it's just wasting slots because the enemies you face are so weak.

I don't even put weapons on supercharged. Makes them too OP. I already one shot ships without any supercharged weapons.

[smoky flax]

Seems like a bad engine. You should look at others and those that have two rotations pay attention because they'll have different stats in both positions. You should not have a +2% maneuverability engine.

[warm breach]

and hello games wont fix the phase beam issue, if they were to fix it the phase beams would just not shoot beams

[random zinc]

I think it's 50/50

[terse kestrel]

Look if you want to min/max and Chase the highest numbers possible feel free. But you don't have to dump on everybody else because they're not doing that.

Min/maxing is very niche but yet the people who do it are extremely passionate. And demand other people play the way they play

Let people play the way they want to play. Number chasing is not the game

[abstract crow]

Form > Function

[terse kestrel]

This game is all about playing how you want. And at no point is it too difficult that you're required to follow some sort of meta somebody posted on Reddit

This game has no meta and chasing it is a waste of time

[terse kestrel]

Exactly. I'd rather have something I build that looks how I wanted to look rather than following somebody else's guide based on how they think I should be playing my game

[smoky flax]

This is not true at all and again you failing to understand how the game works. Fighters cap at around 360 or so shields without SC slots...corvettes can easily pass 500 shields without SC slots. And fighters have a shield bonus of up to +38%...that difference is hell of a lot more than 20%.

[terse kestrel]

And then to tell people they just "don't understand the game" because they're not playing it the way you want them to play it...... That's so toxic.

I'd argue people who take it so seriously are the ones who don't understand what the game is about. 😂

[abstract crow]

That's why I build massive cruisers. They're just so awe-inspiring despite being slow as hell and huge targets.

[terse kestrel]

It's an arcade flyer. A chill builder. A shenanigan spaghetti code flavor text sandbox game.

Not that serious.

[smoky flax]

Dude came at me, not the other way around. He's the one that started talking about how shields are useless so yes...he does not understand the game.

[terse kestrel]

Shields are useless depending on your kit

Like if you're rolling phase beams on your Corvette you don't need to worry about shield

[daring dagger]

@terse kestrel I sent you a dm regarding what I’m building

Again, I will repeat this: he. came. at. me. to. tell. me. shields. are. useless. Did you get that?

[terse kestrel]

They made ships so powerful they negated the need to worry about shields.

Shields.are useless

Show me.on this video where shields are important

Unless you're doing permadeath or something that scales the difficulty up

I mean I don't even think I got shot once in that whole video

[smoky flax]

So now you are doing what you were just literally telling me not to do? Who's toxic?

[terse kestrel]

I'm not telling you you shouldn't be using shields. I'm not telling you that you don't understand the game. I not telling you you are wrong.

My opinion is that Shields are useless

But I'm not forcing my opinion on you

Blocked. This game is too chill for this level of toxicity

[warm breach]

thats the most creative way ive seen someone use propeller

[terse kestrel]

Chonky boy is chonky

[smoky flax]

Bro...you just said shields are useless. That's A) a flat out lie and B) you still fail to understand my point, just because I can afford to have a weakness...why would I? That's bad ship design.

[warm breach]

id hit my head every time i fly the ship

[terse kestrel]

Golf class and minivettes are the best vettes

[warm breach]

what is golf class?

[terse kestrel]

Someone said it looks like somebody stepped on an RC car 😭

[hoary agate]

Its still preety

[terse kestrel]

Just the essentials

[terse kestrel]

Golf is bare bones

That's the same one as above just without any hull plating or propellers

[hoary agate]

Minivettes are cool

[terse kestrel]

Love that side shot. Guts exposed

[warm breach]

im gonna try to make this ship (that i have already made) alot more angular and futurustic with floating wings

[smoky flax]

I will repeat: bad. ship. design. Just because you can afford to have a weakness you can overcome with weapons why would you not have BOTH great weapons and great shields? The game is constantly evolving...who knows what HG will add next? Larger swarms of enemies or stronger enemies, etc. could all flip the game on its head overnight and where before you could afford to ignore shields suddenly that could be a luxury you can lose. It is always always always best to be prepared for the worst.

[abstract crow]

Next update: Corvette doors.

[warm breach]

the discussion has already ended broski

[smoky flax]

Just making sure I get my point across.

[smoky flax]

That's a really nice ship but I don't know where the hab modules would go...it's all thin parts. I don't think anything close to it would work with the current parts we have.

[warm breach]

i can show you a recreation of the ship i made, it fits 3 habs

[smoky flax]

Looks good. I wouldn't say it looks close to the on in the picture but it's a nice looking corvette.

[warm breach]

thats just the angle, from the top it looks more like in the picture

[terse kestrel]

Nice. Must have been hard getting those angels

[strange fiber]

Isn't that the Shrike?

[terse kestrel]

My white whale is The Betty from Aliens Resurrection.

[spare sedge]

I dont get what the fuss is all about the Aeron shield is one of the best cosmetic items for the Corvette there is

[terse kestrel]

Those wings though......

[terse kestrel]

The only problem is they just don't blend well with the normal Corvette parts. I wish they would have taken more care into making them more usable with the parts we already had

[spare sedge]

yea you gotta really work the offsets and they can be pretty in certain spots

loved how these tail lights came out with them

[terse kestrel]

Only time I was able to blend them properly was this build

Mostly Atlas parts with just a little bit of regular parts

[spare sedge]

i really like that one aha

[terse kestrel]

That looks like a car out of cyberpunk

[spare sedge]

looks like a spider that weaves a web of lasers

[smoky flax]

Aeron shield parts look amazing. Kinda wish I could use them on my corvette, but for my main save file their shield bonus is too low. But if they have a better seed on your save, absolutely use them...they look great.

[spare sedge]

i wanted to make a Vette Vette but the front ended up like a Ford Mustang 😅

[hoary agate]

Looks good

[warm breach]

yessir

[smoky flax]

From that angle it looks like a turtle to me lol.

[strange fiber]

I have a couple of federation ships, one of them is made with iconic layout of federation ships in star trek, another one is heavily reference with Akira, Alita and Steamrunner class

[spare sedge]

they seem commensurate with the other modules. i always max out the slots with storage augs if im prepping a vette for combat anyway so everything gets s/X modules including shields, but they are pretty much an afterthought with how fast i melt swarms

only there for cosmetic purposes really

[warm breach]

my next project a ship with the shape of the shrike, hull of a galaxy class and floating wings of the discovery a

[smoky flax]

I have maxed X modules too but I don't treat anything as an afterthought. And I often re-evaluate things several times after completion looking at where I could squeeze more performance.

[warm crane]

ideas on how to fill these 2 things?

[spare sedge]

my bet and hope is that HG is going to add much heavier enemies so the shields will come into play and the phase beam wont be so ungodly OP anymore

and ofc new rewards

[warm breach]

for the top part a round engine cover and the back part maybe an ambassador engine

[warm crane]

uhm

tzhe engine cover is a bit too big

[warm breach]

the shorter one

[warm crane]

good idea with like engines in the back tho

i mean it technically covers it

but the shape is messed up

[exotic spruce]

I don't have NMS open but for the top part the cover that has the long jutting part and the caution tape painting on it

[smoky flax]

Phase beam is definitely getting fixed at some point. I would replace it now because you'll almost certainly have to replace it later so better to plan and line up all the modules and tech for a different weapon like the infra-knife now.

[warm breach]

i guess thats the issue when having your habs at the part of the ship thats thin

[warm crane]

this ship has no habs

[spare sedge]

im a glass is half full guy i think theyre prepping to add in some epic space battles

[terse kestrel]

Built before they patched the tech removal glitch?

[warm crane]

no i just clipped it in the back

the forced hab and entry way and reactor are all here somewhere

[terse kestrel]

Tbh I think their focus is corvette and terrain generation. Specifically water, flowing rivers and water physics.

It's all to prep for Light No Fire

[warm breach]

that still works, it wasnt patched

[warm crane]

no, it unloads ur ship if u try to build from a seperate section

u can only get rid of those via save edit now

[warm breach]

still works

[terse kestrel]

They took that out with 3.12. If it came back that's great but there was a point where it was cut off

[warm breach]

it still works

has always worked

[terse kestrel]

I wish they'd bring back the base wiring glitch

[warm crane]

its outdated, im gonnas how u what happens

[warm breach]

it works right now

try it

with the exact steps mentioned

[warm crane]

so

go to other landing area

no it unloads what?

tf am i doing wrong, show me a vid rq

[warm breach]

go to the landing area, click buy parts, right click and make a new corvette

[warm crane]

wiat what

that lowkey works

LMAO

nice

thanks

[warm breach]

it never stopped working

you just had to do an extra step

[warm crane]

yea but the original method never involved u opening the sho pfirst

[terse kestrel]

You're talking about the separation glitch. And yes that still works.

I was talking about the glitch we used to remove essential Tech to bypass the errors in building. Such as no habs and no landing gears. That was patched.

[warm crane]

fun

[warm crane]

no hes lowkey right rn

[warm breach]

that still works

you can do anything

except add parts

[terse kestrel]

There was a time where we could take the essential Tech out of our tech lots and off the ship. Like Moog has the cockpit and access ramp with nothing else

[warm breach]

that still works

[warm crane]

WE KNOW

@terse kestrel im sending a video

one sec

here is before method (doesnt work) and new method

it doesnt load

fuck

TLDR

[spare sedge]

it doesnt let me remove them from tech slots wdym

[warm crane]

ima make a graphic one sec

[smoky flax]

If I had to guess that's an intended patch so people can no longer glitch corvettes by building on multiple pads simultaneously.

[warm breach]

not those, the corvette parts required to apply are removable

[spare sedge]

well yea. i think Zarkan meant even the essential ones were removable

[terse kestrel]

There was a point between 3.12 and now where that didn't work. Many of the creators took their videos down for it because of that.

I mean if it didn't go away for a little bit so many people wouldn't be surprised that still works

[shadow wraith]

You can spawn them back by loading the store first, then making a new corvette

[terse kestrel]

We went between 3.12 to 3.16 within like 3 weeks. It's not like it was a time span of several months

[shadow wraith]

Then just delete the parts from the 2nd port

I already deleted parts from my corvettes this last few days, so I'm 100% sure it works

[warm crane]

@terse kestrel

still works

u right click out of the shop

then build a new corvette

[warm breach]

i think you murdered someone

thats a crime scene

[terse kestrel]

I know exactly how to do it. All I'm saying is there was a brief period where we were cut off from doing this.

[warm crane]

oh

fair enough

still good tutorial ig

no use fixing this one as its SO FUCKING SPECIFIC

[shadow wraith]

Yeah it broke on the release of Breach
