[terse kestrel]

Very clever use of decoration placement.

[willow lichen]

I call it the Crimson Zeypher

I just can’t figure out what to put on the rear sides..

But it’s easily my favorite corvette.

I’d say my main inspiration for it is the whole nautical theme, as well as the lived in corvettes with the sails on em.

[random zinc]

so, with 6.18, is the tech scrambling bug really fixed?

[frigid depot]

Kinda close, not a corvette, just plain old regular fighter

[smoky hemlock]

Nice, thanks... how can I get one of these?

[frigid depot]

If you search nmsce.com you can input the parts you want (experiment to get what you think looks the closest)
Then use the glyphs to go there

[smoky hemlock]

ty!

[fair pilot]

dunno, but some corvettes were hardly nerfed agility-wise.

[steady dirge]

I can't decide how to transition between the different sections

I don't know what part to use that look good

[fair pilot]

There are special parts for that.

But I don't remember their name.

[smoky hemlock]

There are some quite close ships! 😎

[main robin]

Getting the TIE style for the Corvette is proving to be a trick... lol

[steady dirge]

I don't like any option for this

[fair pilot]

Anyone tested if corvette footprint (aka the distance between furthest landing gears and/or size of the surface to which the landing gear is attached) matters for landing?

[random zinc]

how so?

[jade viper]

its basically impossible to get a good angle but there you go lol

[terse kestrel]

Made my own squadron. Guarantee you it's more efficient than the patsies we recruit 😂

[velvet ruin]

im gonna make a big capital ship corvette in the base builder mod its my first creation in this mod ive got no clue what im doing but i made this outline with habs what do yall think? i think im gonna go for something like the cumulus-class corsair from star wars with the hook at the front, but a two-pronged design. Also mixed with an aircraft carrier

and also the harrower class dreadnought from star wars as well

[pseudo forge]

Latest Atlas theme build. Check out multiple pics in showcase. Named it 3I ATLAS for now... not sure what to call it. 100% vanilla build.

[main robin]

Okay, so

Does the amount of guns you put on affect the stats of your Corvette or no?

[terse kestrel]

Damage dealt based on number of projectile multiplying DPS

So more guns do work. It's why phase beams do so much damage. With 3 platforms you have 6 beams hitting all at once. So it's damaged it's instantly multiplied by 6

[main robin]

Mmm.. so only a pair of Photon Cannons won't get me very far

[manic tangle]

@spare sedge if you end up playing OGame let me know xD

[manic tangle]

Might have to do this xD

[terse kestrel]

Took 3 days on controller 😂

The scaffolding and wire hanging to keep it all connected was what takes the longest.

[main robin]

Ehh? xD

For still being new to Corvette building, I'm really proud of this.

[abstract crow]

Need moar guns

[main robin]

That's kinda the issue, I've only got so much surface area to strap guns TO lol

[abstract crow]

Guns everywhere. You don't need to see if you can just shoot a way through everything.

[long pawn]

WOW! Your small sailboat corvette is the best mini corvette I've ever seen. 😮

[main robin]

So, for damage buffs, the only thing that'll work is Phase Beam mods, yeah?

[terse kestrel]

I AM THE LIGHTSABER!

[long pawn]

You should be! You did a fine job! As for the issue with your lack of surface area to place weapons, may I suggest adding a drone ship or two?

[terse kestrel]

Could make a squad of 8 fighters easy

[long pawn]

What's the link to the tutorial? I seem to have saved it to the wrong folder.

[long pawn]

I'm not sure. I'm interested in finding out myself.

[terse kestrel]

It's loading now

[main robin]

That damage has to be higher than it's showing, I've got two S-Class mods stuck to the three Phase Beams lol

[terse kestrel]

I'll try to get it pinned to the channel

@long pawn ☝🏻

[long pawn]

YES!

[long pawn]

Thankies! I swear I have this or a similar tutorial saved.

[terse kestrel]

@stark scarab could we get this pinned please? It's how to delete parts after finalizing Corvette through second terminal

[stark scarab]

Let me take a look

[carmine mural]

So, for the future. We have no problem with pinning guides or lists of tips submitted by members but they have to be clear on what they are and relatively easy to understand, for example, to a new player. Which the video alone is not and wouldn't do for a pin. If you can prepare a post with explanation of what the process is trying to accomplish and what are the steps with video as an example then I'll have no problems with pinning it.

I would also recommend to first use #contact-us to talk with us about it so we have some understanding of what's going on before someone gets pinged out of nowhere and asked to pin something.

[terse kestrel]

Tbh I should have done this before requesting it. Like the previous pin of videos.

I'll make it more clear and write up proper steps. Then submit it if you would like.

[carmine mural]

I would appreciate that

As I also appreciate the initiative to create something for the community

[main robin]

....Why did no one tell me these Phase Beams were so cracked? lol

I can legit sweep down the spine of a freighter, clear all the cargo and have it dead by the time I reach the engines.

[random zinc]

I'm tempted to replace a couple of decorative thrusters with windows

[solid star]

large Corvette tried to resemble Russian SU-27 fighter

[random zinc]

yeah they're super broken

[main robin]

At C-class, my TIE is doing more damage than my A Sentinel ship could ever dream of lol

[random zinc]

how do you do the wings?

[solid star]

you make hull modules underneath what will be wing, then place dozens interior white-board panels into shape of wings, on top of hull units, then remove those hull-module underneath, then those panels hold like wing, so as vertical tail fin

then color them

[random zinc]

impressive

[solid star]

sadly, there is no pure-black color for boards like the hull, only dark gray

[terse kestrel]

I campaign for phase beams regularly

[spare sedge]

heck yeah

[terse kestrel]

They're bound to nerf them or replace them with a Corvette only replacement.

So stock up on good infraknife modules for later. That would be the new top DPS weapon if they do something to phase beams

[lament abyss]

[random zinc]

why stock up? are they going away?

[spare sedge]

my hope is they go the other way and add new, stronger enemies

a competition for players to design the best Sentinel and Pirate corvettes that actually get put into the game would be cool

[terse kestrel]

Just make sure you have three really good S or X class on standby. So you don't have to go looking for them later if you need them

[random zinc]

I still use photon cannons over infraknife

I seem to hit better with them

[spare sedge]

a maxed infra knife and maxed phase beam seem to have a similar TTK but its more dramatic with the way the phase beam fires. my combat vettes all have both maxed out, cause i like to switch it up for fun in battle

its odd though because the infraknife says around 60k dps and the beam only 6k but when youre melting a capital ship they will drain the HP at a similar rate

[random zinc]

because it's buggily overpowered

[spare sedge]

its like the DPS number that shows is exactly one order of magnitude off. its really 10x of what the number says

[main robin]

I was getting like 8800 a tic against a Freighter

Which is a LOT.

[random zinc]

it depends on how many hardpoints you have

[terse kestrel]

You could get more I think

That's not even supercharged ☝🏻

What's your tech set up for the beams look like?

[main robin]

It's a bit messy, so cut me a bit of slack lol

[terse kestrel]

https://nms-optimizer.app/?platform=corvette

You need this

Put in all your tech and where your supercharged slots are. It will give you layouts.

Lazy min/maxing

[main robin]

It's C-Class, I've only got the one supercharged lol

[terse kestrel]

Or you can just focus on one tech at a time. And arrange them as you need to in your tech slots.

[heady sigil]

i wish we could place stuff on this table

[main robin]

...So, I see what you mean, but I've legit no idea how it works lol

[terse kestrel]

Why can't you?

[heady sigil]

no collissions for it sadly

things just clip thru it

[terse kestrel]

Select Corvette from the list of items with tech

Double tap to supercharge a slot where yours is. Tap once to remove that slot of its no open.

Scroll down to find your tech

[main robin]

No no, I get that

I mean I don't get why in-game which order you have the mods organized matters

[terse kestrel]

Place a resizable box or crate under the table. Resize it so that it lifts right into the top of the table.

Place decorations on that box.

Delete box. Items will remain and look like they are on the table

[terse kestrel]

Because adjacency bonuses not only increase your stats based by how many are in the chain but also which modules are next to each other.

[main robin]

I get the feeling there's a lot of math involved lol

[terse kestrel]

That's why I use that tool 😂

It really does all the work for you. And you can fine-tune it to squeak out a few better stats. But that tool basically just gives you what you need to maximize what you got

[main robin]

I mean

It took my TIE from 240 manuever... to 710 xD

So it must know what it's doing

[terse kestrel]

Yep

[main robin]

I feel kinda bad though. I spent all that time finding myself a nice Sentinel ship, when I could've just BUILT myself something... lol

[terse kestrel]

You can see the difference in placement and the massive stat boost you can get off of just placing one thing in the right spot in that video

Over 1,000 maneuverability difference just by shifting that one piece of tech

[main robin]

Whistles

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Also check that list of videos. Especially the last one about decir. It shows a lot of little tips for decorating that table and other things on your corvette.

[main robin]

Correction, 798. Wow. xD

I assume the brighter the border around the mod, the better the bonus?

[terse kestrel]

A regular colored border is just adjacency bonus.

A purple background on the tech means supercharged

Purple with a shiny square around it means it's adjacent and supercharged

[main robin]

Ahhh

[main robin]

So do Corvette's handle a bit clunkier than other ships?

[manic tangle]

if you make them big

[wraith quiver]

can i see the cockpit view

[solid star]

work atm, not ig

[cursive lark]

Yup

[main robin]

Hmmmmm...

As much as I like my TIE, it handling like a drunk bus on a July afternoon is kinda getting to me

[solid star]

no photo of in-cockpit, but has this rear view for now

[solid star]

TIE-Interceptor?

[long pawn]

They are a little ridiculous right now, aren't they? It's really tempting for players to just throw six laser turrets on their corvette and ignore the rest of the weapons. I'm hoping the devs notice this and do something to make the other weapons attractive.

[main robin]

Yep lol

[solid star]

very cool, and look very agile

[main robin]

And yeah, buffing the other weapons up to compete is the preferrable path, rather than just nerf-batting the Phase Beams.

I'd love to see a Sentinel variation of the Phases, bright crimson beams ❤️

[long pawn]

I was deeply disappointed by the performance of my "missile corvette" design. It had 9 torpedo turrets and thought for sure it would fire one group of three missiles, followed by another as the first three turrets recovered from heat overload, followed by another as the second three turrets recovered from heat overload, and so on... But, no. The missile turrets don't fire in sequence like the photon cannon nor six turrets at once like phase beam. They fire three torpedos and all the turrets are overheated simultaneously. It's a horrible limitation in contrast to the versatility or deadliness of the other weapons. Needless to say, I redid my corvette to six phase beams, three infra-knife accelerators like most other players have. Missiles just aren't worth using in their current state.

[cursive lark]

Yeah the torpedos have always been terrible

[solid star]

it is for raw-damage with long cool down, those torps may one-shot a de-shielded starship

or deal up to 40k dmg to an enemy freighter

[smoky flax]

Very funny picture since that layout is not optimized right...the Crimson Core is a hyperdrive with base 600ly range...that needs to make a square with the modules and then attach the rest around. Whoever did that layout had no idea what he was doing.

[terse kestrel]

Which why I said it was lazy mi/maxing. In other words not absolute perfection but good enough to do the work for you.

[sweet rune]

It looks a holographic game board table from the Star Wars franchise

[high void]

Better pics

[remote crypt]

Pretty good

[high void]

6 ambassador heavy booster, 4 Thunderbird landing thrusters, Thunderbird class landing bay, 3 ambassador class habitation units, 2 wide body thrusters, 2 zenith and Medusa class reactors 1 aeronautical blade, speeding cowling, 2 Arcadia stabisers. Thats all the parts I used besides weapons

Oh and cockpit I used the Thunderbird cockpit

I also added a walkway in the front of the second ambassador hab unit on the bottom when I did the front and then deleted it and moved the speeding bowling back

[remote crypt]

Nice recreation

[high void]

I posted the parts I used so people can make their own

I didn't use any glitch building everything is snap placed im on xbox

Thank you

[velvet ruin]

Ooo I never thought of putting the topographical table on a wall.. genius

[unreal tendon]

I wonder what HG devs thought when players started to break corvette designer over their collective knee.

[terse kestrel]

They expected it. It's what we do.

[unreal tendon]

Hah!

[frigid depot]

After seeing what players do with the base building they would be stupid if they didn’t expect the same to happen with corvettes

[wanton river]

I mean a big part of the game is go and do in the way you think best. Which just means a lot of things become its not a bug its a feature.

[terse kestrel]

People wonder why HG throws us updates that are sometimes half cooked or not polished. But they do that because they know we are going to stretch them, tear them apart and break them however we can.

It's also why we have expeditions. Forcing us to play around with the new mechanics shortly after they release. Providing them all the feedback they need for bug fixing of that content.

Yeah but it's a bit of FOMO. But it guarantees we are going to engage in that new content as soon as it drops. In that expedition

[hoary agate]

I would take smaller bug free update over big bug infested half finished update that can ruin your progress or brick the save. Pc will tear it apart anyways

[abstract crow]

Moar bugs. All the bugs

[terse kestrel]

But that would mean more updates as they slowly injected things over time. Which means more chances for things to break spread out over time.

It would be nice if we could just get clean updates.

Or on the flip side they could be star citizen. Swearing one day they will release new stuff as soon as it is polished and playable. Someday. Down the road. Yours and years later 😂

[tight relic]

Will star citizen ever get out of beta stage

[velvet ruin]

When gta6 releases

[unreal tendon]

Should be some time after Half-Life 3

And I just reminded myself that's distinct possibility, Jesus, what is this timeline...

[velvet ruin]

Valve already has out to half life 8 they're just saving them

[tight relic]

Coping hard i see

I wish i could do that

[velvet ruin]

it's a genius business strategy, they release the next half life right before another highly anticipated game >:)

[weak rune]

Question: Now that I have switched to my corvette as primary I have noticed that after saving a freighter I only get offer to buy, no reward option. Is this a bug or a feature of using corvette?

[wooden grail]

Are you talking about getting the freighter for free? Because that only happens once. Or are you talking the reward that just gives units and sometimes cargo?

[weak rune]

The second

[wooden grail]

Hmmm not sure then

[weak rune]

3 times now

[urban grove]

The first freighter you get in game is a reward, everything after is priced/trade.

[weak rune]

Not talking freighter talking units and gold etc

[urban grove]

Oooh.

I haven't ran into that instance - so idk.

[tawny helm]

if i increase the size of corvette parts in blender, do they also increase ingame?

[terse kestrel]

Are you talking the pirate freighter battle for the one where you save a freighter from pirates flying around it?

[terse kestrel]

Yes. It's how people build big Corvettes while being soft on frames for themselves and other people. Upscaled decorations

[tawny helm]

oh..

[terse kestrel]

Flat wall panels go a long ways

[tawny helm]

ah

wished someone told me that earlier

@terse kestrel what type of wall is best?

[terse kestrel]

I mean the decorative flat white wall panel you can select in the build section where there's a chair at the top in the tab.

Building base walls on it would be counterproductive if you're trying to keep down frames

[tawny helm]

this one?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah

A lot of your Star destroyers are covered in those

[fair pilot]

Keep as is, or remove the bottom layer and move it 1 block lower?

[manic tangle]

i think it looks pretty good as it is

[tawny helm]

@terse kestrel how do i make the cockpit?

do i build it ingame or in blender?

[terse kestrel]

I've seen some people just stick them on the top of their Corvette shrunk down super small so it's hardly noticeable 😂

It also places you at the top of your Corvette so you have a better chance of seeing while you fly

[tawny helm]

how does one enter the ship?

[terse kestrel]

You can still select the cockpit and get into the seat that way. It's just the smaller you make it the smaller the point to activate the seat gets. So the smaller you make it the more difficult it gets

[tawny helm]

how do i make actual habs that i can use?

@terse kestrel my corvette is done. what do i do

@terse kestrel the ship didnt get into the game

[terse kestrel]

For that I would be asking #nms-modding

I know the general of how people are doing it but the specifics of transferring it from blender to your save..... I don't know that one

[tawny helm]

i found out why the ship wasnt appearing, i was inside the parts

[weak rune]

The second, I land on freighter and only option is to buy, no reward option.

[terse kestrel]

Okay then if it's the second one you need to do that battle and save the freighter in a regular ship. The Corvette exists outside the normal World space we are in. It's its own world space.

So when you save a freighter in a Corvette you are no longer technically in the space around the corvette. You've abandoned that area. So you no longer receive the reward.

If you defeat a pirate dreadnought in a Corvette it works as is. But at this time saving a freighter against pirate fighters doesn't.

[weak rune]

Or just pass them by, no reward no effort 😏

[terse kestrel]

Basically. I don't even waste my time with those battles. I just kill the dreadnoughts for the freighter upgrades

[weak rune]

Thanks, question answered

[maiden topaz]

Anyone got a well detailed tutorial on a aeron corvette or mech(preferably 40 minutes+ video)

[subtle wolf]

I tried guys

[subtle wolf]

Made a few changes

Still think regular haulers should have engines like that to use

[short fractal]

Ok buckling down to work on JJ Abrams enterprise

@tawny helm did you ever figure out the import of your ship?

[tawny helm]

i did it

[short fractal]

nice, great ship

[dawn condor]

Question about corvette building: Do you NEED to have both a main engine and a sublight engine? I know sublight engines are for pulse but if you don't add a main engine will you still be able to warp? Just pure aesthetics but I don't like how the main engines I've seen are all really long and need to be attached to the side, it kind of hinders designs for me.

[late swift]

Can someone here help me build a round ship? I’m trying to make it look like a toilet, but I don’t know where to start.

[wooden grail]

If you are trying to make what I think you are trying to make then so help me I will send 10 dozen nuclear warheads to that thing

[velvet ruin]

you can have any thruster(s) you want, you just need at least 1 thruster on your ship for it to work.

pulse drive and hyperdrive come installed whatever you have on your ship

[late swift]

Please do.🤣 But before you do that, could you help me out? Cause this is my first time trying to build a ship and I’m having a hard time.

[wooden grail]

I genuinely have no idea how I would go about that either

But I reluctantly wish you good luck

[late swift]

🤣😂

[dawn condor]

Thanks!

[terse kestrel]

Yeah I'm not going to help you build this meme Corvette either 😂

[terse kestrel]

Solid plan. I can contribute at least five or six myself

[sick kayak]

We're going to war with the toilet-maker lmao

[terse kestrel]

The boosters are required and make a big difference when it comes to your maneuverability and take off speed.

There are many ways you can hide them or reduce their profile on your ship. Either by meshing them into other parts or covering them with some of the hull pieces. Like this

Inside those arms are two Titan boosters. But you only see the very end of them coming out the back.

[velvet ruin]

i think they more meant which type f thruster (the big or the small ones if you needed both) but also yeah

[terse kestrel]

I would say go with the little ones if you can't hide them well. But if you're able to hide them there's no reason not to use the big ones that get better stats

[velvet ruin]

you can incorporate the big ones very well into designs too

i like the big ambassador thrusters because they let you get some very nice curves

i think i incorporated them well in my main corvette, for instance

[dawn condor]

Thanks I'll try to mess around with the design more. I have this corvette based on the Republic Consular ship from Star Wars and the big long thrusters seem out of place on it.

[terse kestrel]

Also with the Titan and Thunderbird boosters you're able to mesh them together. Into one.

You do this by putting habs on either side of where you want the boosters to be and place them on those habs to where they meet in the middle. They will overlap perfectly and look like one booster.

[velvet ruin]

oh cool

[terse kestrel]

If you know how to offset your Habs those square ends of the wings would be the perfect place to hide boosters. Plenty of room put them in there with them poking out the back a little

If you don't know about offsets check the channels pins. There's a list of tutorial videos in there that will really help expand your build

Offsetting basically allows you to move a piece half a square. Creating a new snap point and allowing you to mesh parts into those areas

[velvet ruin]

its very powerful

check pins for tutorials

[dawn condor]

Good to know, thanks

[sick kayak]

I've got to learn offsetting at some point lol

[terse kestrel]

It's so simple. Compared to many Base building glitch methods they are a lot easier to do. And it's less about fancy controller work and button clicking and more about just sliding your Habs into a new position

Like turning your Hab 180° just involves dropping a ladder in one and spinning it around. That's it

[sick kayak]

Nice, I'll be sure to check out the video in the pins next time I'm on

[terse kestrel]

Sean! Corvette part rotation when?!

[sick kayak]

Real, wish they'd make this stuff vanilla

[terse kestrel]

We built without the ability to rotate base parts for 6 years before they gave us that mechanic. Now we can spin them on three axis.

Here's hoping Corvettes don't take that long 😂

[sick kayak]

Stuff like a slight diagonal offset could easily be implemented in vanilla by just reducing the grid size by 2 or something lol

And yeah rotation is something that's already in the base building system so shouldn't be too hard to port over (in theory at least, I'm not a developer, not familiar with how NMS works on a coding level)

Speaking of stuff that's already in one building system, I hope the "apply to all parts" button gets ported over to the planetary base build menu

Words can't describe how much I'd love to recolour all parts of my base lol. The fact that I can't, and the occasional piece not remembering its colour, is the main thing stopping me from giving all of my bases unique looks

[hybrid trout]

Allright a slightly stupid question. My corvette is currently C tier I believe, how do I upgrade it to S tier. (I am new, don’t bully me to hard 😅)

[velvet ruin]

Same as a normal ship, with the ship salvage/upgrade station at the back of space stations, by the ship fabricator

[hybrid trout]

Thank you!

[velvet ruin]

Ofc!

It also costs the same as a normal ship (a lot of nanites)

[glass surge]

Yeah getting a corvette up to S class is 85k nanites

[late swift]

Does anyone have any good tutorials for a good looking Corvette? Because I just built my very first one and it looks like a toaster gone wrong but somehow and surprisingly it flies.

[steady dirge]

Pretty good first build I think

[frigid depot]

Same for any C class ships

Ah least you can change the looks of a corvette

[dusk bone]

what even is the point of normal starships anymore i have been using my corvette for everything

[steady dirge]

Well, I suck at building so I still use them

[dusk bone]

find a planet with the "salvageable scrap" then find the golden markers w/ ur scanner they lead you to corvette parts and sometimes some pretty valuable trade stuff

[velvet ruin]

There is a 0% chance of the game crapping out and wiping your normal starship

it's happened to me with a Corvette twice

Not much of an argument against corvettes tho

[dusk bone]

but w/ a normal ship you cant jump out and plumet to the ground from atmosphere while taking 0 damage

[velvet ruin]

They are amazing

normal starships also aren't permanently stuck with the photon cannon...

[dusk bone]

corvettes arent

[velvet ruin]

you can't remove the photon cannon without a mod on corvettes

[dusk bone]

you just have to find the parts i got phase beams on mine

[velvet ruin]

yeah but there will always be a photon cannon

[terse kestrel]

But no matter what you put on your Corvette the photon Cannon is always there

[velvet ruin]

Which is very annoying if you don't want to use the photon beam cuz you have to scroll past it

[dusk bone]

cant you just take off the photon cannon part in the editor

[terse kestrel]

I mean it's not all bad. Because of it's splash damage still works good for farming from the air

[velvet ruin]

Yeah but the tech will remain

[terse kestrel]

Phase beams don't have splash damage. Much harder to farm

[velvet ruin]

Infraknife works too and is a better weapon

Phase beam is great for asteroids tho

[terse kestrel]

Yeah but then I would have to put it on too

[dusk bone]

as long as its not cluttering up the inventory i dont mind clicking g a few times b4 entering combat

[velvet ruin]

I mean it's one less slot to use

Fortunately there's a mod that removes it

or fixes it if you don't have it on I should say

[velvet ruin]

Infraknife?

[dusk bone]

the purple gatling gun thing

[velvet ruin]

not an issue if you like infraknife I guess (maybe it's just me)

I like being A10 warthog

[frigid depot]

Not on corvettes

[velvet ruin]

Yeah I know phase beam is ridiculous on corvettes

[dusk bone]

💯

[velvet ruin]

which is why I have it too

I like infra 😢

[terse kestrel]

Main phase beams and keep 3 X class infraknife modules on standby for when they get nerfed 😂

[velvet ruin]

yup

[dusk bone]

this has gotta be the most underrated feature of the corvette

[velvet ruin]

It's one of the main features I think

[dusk bone]

i mean jumping out from space

[velvet ruin]

Leaving the ship midair

Half of their whole gimmick is being able to get out while it's flying 😭🙏 (very cool nonetheless)

But yeah

[dusk bone]

i use mine as a portable base mostly

[velvet ruin]

Just make sure to put 6 phase beam platforms on the Corvette to maximize performance

[dusk bone]

made mine huge

[velvet ruin]

Indubitably

[terse kestrel]

Jump out while in pulse drive and it leaves your ass behind 😂

[velvet ruin]

Really puts into perspective how fast pulse drive is cuz it legit vanishes in less than 1 frame

[terse kestrel]

Pure vibes

[velvet ruin]

I also like smaller fighter style corvettes that are just like more powerful fighters than normal ships

[dusk bone]

i wish jumping out of the ship while its on auto pilot in atmosphere didnt stop it from moving seeing your ship fly away as you land on your objective would be pretty cool

[velvet ruin]

Peak

[dusk bone]

i got a couch on the side of mine too

[velvet ruin]

oh that would be cool

[terse kestrel]

I got a live band 👀

[velvet ruin]

Got a couch in mine but mine has no windows 😢 (too small and props in the way)

[velvet ruin]

Pardon

[dusk bone]

i got the game 4 days ago so i dont have any vids of my corvette ima make one rn

[velvet ruin]

That's an entirely different Corvette but also holy peak

When is their next concert

[terse kestrel]

It's this one

I hired a new bassist but the mf got trashed on Grah before the concert and passed out

Fkn bassists man

[velvet ruin]

😭

[terse kestrel]

Wonder projectors are so fun 😆

[velvet ruin]

When I somehow piece together my giant battle cruiser without knowing what the heck I'm doing in the base builder mod I will be putting a live band in it

[terse kestrel]

I hope he makes it 😭 ❤️ 😇

[dusk bone]

w i put all of my components into making the inside as large as possible couldnt have made it look as nice as yours

[short fractal]

anyone know how many parts a ship can have before it starts seriously lagging in-game? (in offline mode, not affecting others). Assuming I am not restricted to 100

[terse kestrel]

Completely dependent on your system. Specifically it's processing and memory capabilities.

When it comes down to it a lot of these massive Corvettes you see are often right around or just above the build limit. But they're using blender on the side to scale up base parts and other things to build with.

Softer on your system and easier to load. Than just using hundreds of Corvette parts.

If you see a big ship load in pretty quickly it's mostly decorative. If it takes 5 minutes to load a Corvette at the anomaly they went way over the limit and used mostly Corvette parts

[short fractal]

@terse kestrelok, seems like the just the saucer on this enterprise will be 4k parts, im wondering if ill be able to fly it when its done at roughly 7k

@terse kestrelalthough im using a bunch of floor panels at different sizes to minimize their use

Can we make an L corridor for habs, where the corner is a walkway, and its passable? Or does that require glitches?

[terse kestrel]

#nms-modding not sure if you've been to this chat but they would definitely be able to help you out with blender and what can be done with it more than most here. The most mods I ever used was gameplay and biome mods

[cursive lark]

I wish we had this

Better bring it up to hg

[short fractal]

@cursive larkSo even with techniques like this video, it doesnt allow you to walk around the corner? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CI8vSSACRQ

Its just for looks?

[gusty spruce]

Hi all, im new been came back to the game and I've been working on my corvette.
Here's what I have so far.

Not bad, not bad indeed. Where are the supercharged slots?

[gusty spruce]

Thank you, thats great I can see others also.

Probably under a weapon system

Lol, i dont remember, but I know I would have used most of them if not all for main system weapons so that its dps goes up. If you look at my inventory you can see a few.

[somber apex]

Hey, if I see a corvette which has a green chest on it like we see planetside, how did that player place it?

[terse kestrel]

Those storage units you place on your base?

If that's what you mean then they used a mod to build that Corvette. Blender to be exact.

[somber apex]

The green rectangular ones you find on planets with random treasure

[long pawn]

Yeah. I was hoping more for a firing sequence where each individual turret had its own long cooldown. Something like we see with the photon cannon.

The long delay doesn't make sense since the torpedoes do so little damage. 40K damage is a drop in the bucket compared to the damage infra-knives and phase beams do.

[terse kestrel]

It's a decoration you can unlock at the anamoly at the kiosk between ship and exosuit vendors

[solid star]

my first corvette was also armed to the brim with guns and rockets, only to learn "the limit" later too

my torpedo is used mainly to one-shot a de-shieled starship, instead of another few seconds of trying to gun it down by

so can move to another target

[long pawn]

Nope. You can choose to use whatever you want. If you want to equip a bunch of sublight engines, have at! It won't effect your ability to warp at all.

[dawn condor]

Great thanks!

[solid star]

have one reactor of anykind (except shield) and an engine, your corvette can start flying

be it tiny little thing or humongous with designs

[high void]

The zenith reactors add to your hyperactive range

Hyperdrive stupid autocorrect

[solid star]

prioritize range over maneuver

[raven rover]

i'd just use a freighter for long distance warping

[solid star]

especially handy when u pay-nanites-to-import your corvette into Expeditions

[left plume]

Yea ,it's tube with 4 storage in second lower conected with stairs , so basicly everything I need is in there

I've also tried to make the Aegis Nautilus

Reference picture

[tawny helm]

did some more slight engineering

[left plume]

What will it be ?

[solid star]

still need refinement , especially the vertical tailfins, (and a cockpit view) hope to be done by weekend , with real life-fighter jet reference.

[tawny helm]

its arlready finished

i just added 2 more modules

[left plume]

Oh nice

[left plume]

that's fire dude , maybe another pic with more lighting ?

[solid star]

only the hovering , showing it's cladded belly over settlement for now,

[left plume]

Very nice

[solid star]

will adjust its canard and refine it's tailfin mainly

[left plume]

What did you use for the flaps ?

[solid star]

the wing?

[left plume]

Yea

[solid star]

the interior whiteboards

[left plume]

Ooh nice

[solid star]

in corvette-construction mode, this panels can be colored dark gray, sadly no black like the hull

[left plume]

Aw

[solid star]

and as u can see on underbelly, can only color on top-facing, the otherside is default white

[left plume]

But looks very nice nevertheless

[left plume]

Oh right

[solid star]

u can see the fked-up mismatching on vertical tailfins

but benefit of that whiteboard is

it's side is illuminated

[left plume]

Honestly ,when I try it doesn't look better , I only make things worse ngl

[solid star]

the whiteboard at night give a nice illuminated lines

[left plume]

Also you not gon see it when you're sonic booming

[left plume]

So good

[solid star]

i learned this panel-clads technique from a yt, a guy building B2 Spiritbomber corvette

[solid star]

that's massive

i once found a very large Star Trek Enterprise corvette, like, too big for a 100 components-limit at Anomaly station

[tawny helm]

mine doesnt even fit in the anomaly anymore

[solid star]

ye i use sh-t load of this whiteboard "flat panel" for wings and tailfins

need pain-staking alignment and scaling, may take hours

[tawny helm]

i used supersized 1x2 parts

[solid star]

that is definitely bigger than a Frigate

[tawny helm]

may be classified as a destroyer

i still havent added the 3 4 barrel phase beam cannon arrays yet

[solid star]

Frigate is about 100-170m long in nms, so that looks 300m?

[tawny helm]

that one fits 24 frigates btw

its well over 2km long

[solid star]

by volume, may be

so it's as big as the longest regular Freighter?

or shortest Venator

[tawny helm]

i can make it 20km long if i want to

[solid star]

sure seems like you definitely can

[long pawn]

Here's the first delta styled corvette I've built along with her two fighter squadron. Getting the Akkain to completion took planning, offset glitching, building, cursing at build order (I did a lot of that), tearing whole sections back down, and rebuilding them again. LOL

But, you always learn more from the difficult builds than the easy ones, right everyone?

I owe the fighters to @terse kestrel and his "alpha" deletion tutorial. Thank you for the help!

[long pawn]

Holy crow! Is that ever HUGE! How does she handle and does her presence affect the game?

[solid star]

that's like as big as a Venator

[long pawn]

Oh! So that's what I've been seeing. I thought it was some string of lights I hadn't learn to build yet.

[solid star]

to place those boards to form wing, have to place hull-modules underneath them , large enough to cover wing shape, on corvette-building mode. then exit that mode and clip those boards on yourself

after u think u finish the wing, remove those hull-modules back in corvette-building mode

[long pawn]

Dear goddess... that's like building a car with post it notes.

[solid star]

need clean flat hull roof, anything diagonal lke reactors won't do

[long pawn]

I'm impressed with the effort.

[solid star]

then u can recolor those boards on the mode

[long pawn]

!

So, that's how people are building ships with true wings and vertical tails

[solid star]

on typical ship-pov mode during pirate-dreadnought brawl

u can see the mismatched patches of vertical tailfins, that is the hardest part

for vertical tail, use this corvette-component on top of hull, stacking them up, it occupy half of unit, so i could place boards vertically on it, exactly centerlined.

[long pawn]

Thankies!

[olive tide]

There is any way to make the heal station/shield station stay straight on the corvette internal walls?

[left plume]

Oh dude what the hell thats fire , you gon build it as corvette ot just a model ?

[velvet ruin]

Now add a handle coming out the back and it's a swordvette

[tawny helm]

has the blocks of 6 vanilla corvettes so if you can handle 6 corvettes you can handle the big boy

[tawny helm]

its a corvette..

and its already ingame

did it yesterday

[long pawn]

So, how does she handle?

[tawny helm]

how does a corvette with 3k manouv do?

ima go and make a huge ship again in blender

[long pawn]

pretty darn good. I was just wondering if her large size made her fly and land differently.

[tawny helm]

exactly the same as any ship but requires manhattan to land

hmmmm

Oh man. That's crazy! A 2km long ship whipping around on a dime.

I like the name!

[tawny helm]

IM STUCK ON THE ROOF AGAIN

[long pawn]

HA! 🤣

Got a suggestion for your next big build. A double keel.

[tawny helm]

hmmmm

how would that look like

[long pawn]

like two diamonds cojoined side by side

[terse kestrel]

I want to see you make mega maid from Spaceballs

[long pawn]

HA!

Double points if she transforms

[tawny helm]

sadly no mechanics yet

[long pawn]

awww

[tawny helm]

when you say double keel, you mean like this right?

[long pawn]

Yeppers

Something like that.

[tawny helm]

the shapes were a bit too advanced for me but i can try

[long pawn]

well, I'm not being that specific. I'm talking about a ship with two hulls joined in the middle

[tawny helm]

looking at twin hull ships rn

[long pawn]

BUT... it's your ship. Build whatever you want. I'm just impressed you got a 2.4km ship into the game

[tawny helm]

most are just a widebody which has 2 hulls conjoined

[long pawn]

Yes

[tawny helm]

the shapes of the 2 hulls arent even visible

they conform into a single humm

but good idea

i might do that

[long pawn]

I look forward to seeing what pops out of your brain.

@terse kestrel Did you see my thank you?

[terse kestrel]

Yes I did. But even though I made that quick video it was iDerpy who found out we could do it again 😉

That build looks awesome though. I'm sure it was annoying to get just right

[tawny helm]

got a design already for a trench class hyper corvette :D

[long pawn]

Oh! I didn't realize it was iDerpy who rediscovered the technique. I wonder how he found the workaround?

Thanks! Yeah, it was frustrating at times. The offset building went smoothly except for a little bit of NMS quirkiness where parts wouldn't attach on both sides of the ship. The bigger issue I ran into was build order problems.

[jade viper]

why arent my projectiles coming out of the weapons anymore? its not like that other bug where their spawn point dosent move with the ship
is this just me?

[tawny helm]

do you have more then 3?

[jade viper]

not of the same weapon but yes

[tawny helm]

3 is the max and any more is just decor

only 3 weapons will shoot and i think its the 3 first onea

[jade viper]

thats not the problem
my projectiles are spawning in a random place, not where the guns are

they are just above the thruster and a phase beam in the vertical wing

[tawny helm]

thats weird

@terse kestrel how do i make the white wall not be insanely thick?

[terse kestrel]

It's always like that because of it's backing. It's designed to have the back of it mesh into the wall while the front of it sticks out for item placement.

Unless you can redesign the piece you can't really thin it up

[tawny helm]

how do other people have it so thin?

[warm breach]

any final improvements i should make?

[hoary agate]

Looks fine to me

[hollow dock]

wtf I didn't even knew this kind of building is avaible for corvette

[solid star]

re-assembling-construction for canards and vertical-tailfins for Su-30NMS-Corvette 😓 (pics not in order)

[terse kestrel]

Decorative item that you get from abandoned planet with relics on them. You collect from the knowledge stones and it either gives you nanites or blueprint. 12 in total

[solid star]

final refinement

[hollow dock]

thats good to know, thanks !

[terse kestrel]

As long as you have patience with POV placement you can build some really interesting Corvettes using those ruin blocks

[tawny helm]

making big gun :D

[long pawn]

EEP

[tawny helm]

i will scale it to 500% later

[long pawn]

Three pics of my wildly impractical hot rod corvette. Cant's see worth a damn but I love her anyway. Lots of little details on this one.

[tawny helm]

mnice

[long pawn]

Thank you. I was heavily inspired by the hot rod and dragster builds of other posters here.

gotta go! Taking cat to the vet. See you later!

[marsh night]

My latest ship has an elevated bridge. It makes a huge difference in terms of visibility compared to my previous ship that had a rear bridge

[tawny helm]

elevated bridges are so hot

[abstract crow]

Indeed. I love looking out at my ship as it stretches into the distance.

[arctic storm]

OI, PUT THAT BACK

[abstract crow]

Wrong pic.

There's the bridge.

[arctic storm]

thats.... not even a corvette at this point... its a full on battlecruiser

[abstract crow]

Heavy cruiser is what I classified it. Though considering "freighters" are still way bigger, ship classifications are kinda weird.

[arctic storm]

freighters beeg cause more product movced at once means more monejy

[marsh night]

Here’s a picture of my latest vette. I like how the raised bridge kinda makes the ship feel bigger than it actually is

It also makes it look more intimidating

[obtuse wing]

what base part should I use to emulate a cannon with a long skinny barrel, like the ones on the wing tips of an X wing? I dont think any corvette part can do it

[frigid depot]

That’s a whole ass space station at this point

[velvet ruin]

"how can I make this sharp piece of metal specialized for piercing attacks?"
the humble straight edged tapered blade:

[abstract crow]

The ship itself is the weapon. Everything else is just for looks.

[tepid arrow]

Is that a remake of that one Shuttle from The Clone Wars?

Honestly one ship I'd love to make is a modified version of The Twilight from The Clone Wars

[iron palm]

i have two ships with elevated bridges ones offset from the centre line and another is meant to evoke the ship bridge on a large fishing boat.

the off set one.

the fishing ship bridge one.

[fair pilot]

Keep guns on front as they are located now, or move them back?

[glass surge]

I would build out the sides a bit more as those scaffolding hurt maneuverability and to possibly put the guns there; I would keep the guns there and lower them to be in line with the cockpit if possible

[fair pilot]

There are 2 pairs of guns, one pair lower and 1 pair higher.

If there were only 2, the question would be much easier xD

[glass surge]

I'd worry about the top mount ones most; I had some remaining aim issues with guns up that high on build but was able to correct it by lowering them

[fair pilot]

Now ther're that "front" because there there is no item that is on the line of fire.

If I move them back, then there are such parts.

[glass surge]

Yeah that's what i would worry if corvette parts block the aim or firing about but my guns on one build are literally hidden by Vesper Diffusers at the front of the ship but still work LOL.

The issue i had with my build with guns up above the cockpit was that the aim was really off and then the guns with animate off axis.

I still need to put that back and see if it still causes a issue to report to HG

[warm breach]

í just put them all in a 1x1 area

[fair pilot]

They indeed work, but I DON'T LIKE IT xD

[mental ocean]

If u guys have seen Star Wars what do u think Abt these two

[velvet ruin]

Is there a best place to put your weapons on the Corvette? (Like infraknife)

[velvet ruin]

They look good

[mental ocean]

Misread that

[velvet ruin]

Mostly about this like does placement affect how well they can aim and hit things

[mental ocean]

I don’t think there is

The can shoot through the Corvette so…

[frigid depot]

I mean, sc slots if you want to maximize them, the different normal slots don’t have any difference between them

[velvet ruin]

Sorry physical placement on the corvette's body

tech is a different story

[frigid depot]

Wherever they fit the most, there’s no ”one size fits all” for that
I usually hide mine because I don’t like things sticking up out of the main body

[tawny beacon]

What y’all think

[long pawn]

That's a great idea! I'm already three stories high in the cockpit, one more floor wouldn't hurt.

[long pawn]

Yeah, I love that effect. My spouse once asked why I make such big corvettes? In reality they weren't so big as much as they had more floors. I almost never get the warning I'm near the complexity limit.

[long pawn]

I love your ship! I love how the cowlings and the vesper pieces give it a paneled look and that engine design... wow. 5 stars, dude. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

[long pawn]

Due to a bug, that use to matter. The bug has been fixed and it really doesn't matter where you place your weapons. They'll fire where ever you point your crosshairs. As a cool little tidbit, this is true of weapons not connected to your corvette too. So, if you know how to make drones or squadrons, you'll see weapon fire from their positions even though only three total turrets count toward damage. It's a cool aesthetic effect and makes quite the show. 🙂

[iron palm]

i saw some really great boat like corvettes ( larger ones ) in #nms-showcase-corvettes that gave me ideas for a larger upgraded fishing boat / fishing trawler ship build in particular i like the builds by Blocky1616 and the one by awisecheese.

does anyone have more boat inspired ones i can get build inspiration from?

[shy vigil]

Hi everyone ! I had my corvette reseted back to a very basic design with a glitch, anyone know if this bug still exist ? I want to rebuild my corvette but scared to have it glitch again

[long pawn]

Here's one by @willow lichen

Here's a build video for my latest build. Its a Dragonfly Spelljammer from D&D. I'm mildly obsessed.
https://youtu.be/dUYFPOJVZj4

[turbid trench]

Heres the Snapshot

[terse kestrel]

I hate/love that I love/hate it.

It's metal af though. Like a Phoenix dragonfly

[terse kestrel]

I haven't heard of it happening in quite a while. And it was such a rare glitch I doubt you would get hit by it a second time

[velvet ruin]

This has happened to me before, twice for the same Corvette actually ( @terse kestrel ) . That one I had rebuilt several times prior so I made a new one and it hasn't happened since

If you're on PC I'd recommend getting a save editor so you can copy the base data of the Corvette and store it elsewhere so even if it happens again you can just paste it back and carry on like nothing happened

[azure pebble]

I want to make a thin 2 person corvette for my friend and I that has everything you need. What's the best way to do it?

[velvet ruin]

You can fit the mission terminal, a refiner, a nutrient processor, and a plant grower thing in one hab, so just make the Corvette one hab long for maximum compactness.

For 2 person, you could do 2 habs

If you want thin it's gonna be cozy

[azure pebble]

I kinda also want some sort of viewing window

[azure pebble]

I'm wanting cozy

[velvet ruin]

An extra walkway or hab in front of the main one before the cockpit could be put it with some windows

So it would be entrance, hab, walkway with windows on either side, cockpit

[azure pebble]

Im not good at building corvettes

[velvet ruin]

You could also realistically ditch the garden thing to put in a window as well

[velvet ruin]

Yet! Practice makes perfect

[azure pebble]

Could I try making it in creative till I get it right then save it for later till I have the credits then I destroy the items worth the right amount of credits so its fair?

[velvet ruin]

You can just build it in creative yeah

I'm gonna be honest

I build all my Corvettes in creative because I just have fun building but not grinding the parts

Then I switch back to normal

The real grind is upgrading the Corvette to S class and getting all the slots and tech, anyway

Do it however you want to, and feels best to you

[azure pebble]

How do the hydraulic legs look when landing?

[velvet ruin]

the extend out an extra level than the other ones, let me see if i can find an image

[velvet ruin]

like this (taken from a video about the new corvette parts)

[azure pebble]

Would this be the best landing gear for what im wanting?

[velvet ruin]

its mostly an aesthetic choice which landing gear you pick (though they do have slightly different stats). The hydraulic legs will put your corvette a level higher than normal so it might be harder to get in the corvette if you dont build around them

(when landing on planets, not stations or the anomaly)

[azure pebble]

How should I start building it?

What part do I do first

[velvet ruin]

landing gear

[azure pebble]

ok

[azure pebble]

This is too cunfusing for me so im just going to use a tutorial :P

[terse kestrel]

There's no reason to build a massive corvette right off. You can start with a smaller one that works. And either keep building small ones or work your way up to the bigger Corvette designs.

Small corvettes are the best Corvettes after all 👀

[azure pebble]

I want one that both my friend and I can live in but I cant find the right size or shape

[solid star]

or build the smallest, most compact corvette possible, while has all capacity you need

[terse kestrel]

I mean if you're going on a galactic road trip with your friend an RV is the best choice

Not mine btw 😆

[cursive lark]

Lone Star!

[azure pebble]

How do people get diffrent floors inside their corvette?

[solid star]

before my current fighter-jet-design , it was enlarged TIE-Interceptor, called TIE Voyager

[terse kestrel]

What do you mean? Multiple levels or base floor panels?

[azure pebble]

Like this

[terse kestrel]

That's just normal hab flooring. I think that's thuderbird

[solid star]

place a stair somewhere, if multistory

you can even stack stair vertically, if it's just one towering-modules up

a very small footprint, easy to land, while has amentities up there

[terse kestrel]

They're asking about the floor textures I think

[terse kestrel]

I hate Corvette stairs so much this would make me angry as hell 😂

[azure pebble]

This is what my floor looks like

[solid star]

hmm the mats, or place white-board "flat-panels" on the floor?

[terse kestrel]

For stairs place decorative barricades at an angle meshed into the handrails

[solid star]

you make another door-hatch at the top floor, so u can jump-jet in up there instead of stairs all the time

[velvet ruin]

There's three different hab types

[terse kestrel]

Keeps you from falling off and stabilizes them

[velvet ruin]

This is thunderbird, the silver and yellow industrial one is titan, and the white one is ambassador

[terse kestrel]

The handrails on the stars are just visual assets. The barricades create hardpoints

[velvet ruin]

Ambassador is good for custom lighting

Because of how white the walls are

[azure pebble]

:0

[solid star]

i usually prefer Ambassador sleek and white, but cockpit use thunderbird

[velvet ruin]

Yeah thunderbird is my favorite cockpit and titan is my favorite entrance hatch

[solid star]

right, titan hatch is solid and strength-vibe

[velvet ruin]

I am a fan of thunderbird habs' cluttered appearance tho

You can really lean into the lived in vibe with those

Or smuggler/pirate ship, or storage area

[terse kestrel]

I hate the fact you can't cover a lot on Titan and Thunderbird habs. The assets on the wall often cover posters and decals. Or case flat items to stick out from the wall

Like that big wheel crank on the back of Titan Habs. Sticks out so far and meshes over decor bad

[solid star]

unless it's tiny little sh-t, then i used the drop-down hatch room

[azure pebble]

How do I get the Aeron corvette parts?

[terse kestrel]

Breach expedition redux is how you can get the blueprints to make your own. Till then ask around in #nms-lfg-or-trades and you could find someone to meet you up and get you some.

Really all you need is 1 of each. Then you can turn on free crafting and build as many of those parts as you want

[azure pebble]

Thanks

[somber apex]

They somehow take up too much space AND are too narrow at the same time.

And yet, they don’t have a slow ladder climbing animation so they’re better than ladders.

[shy vigil]

Hi everyone ! Are Crew Berth and Medi-Pod just for decoration ?

[tawdry field]

yes

[shy vigil]

Ok thanks

[plucky totem]

my first finalized corvette! i call her the boat

[cursive lark]

Nice!

[plucky totem]

i cant figure out how to get more parts but another model should soon be on the streets 🫡

[somber apex]

If you want to “sleep”, you can place a save point next to the bed

[cursive lark]

And you can place a med kit before placing a medical pod for the same effect for that one

[shy vigil]

Neat idea thanks, will try that next time

[somber apex]

Avoid… a white screen flash bang at 1 am?

[frigid depot]

Reloading a save should fix it at least temporarily, it’s a known bug that ambassador habs turn into flashbang

Thanks it worked, so it's becaue of the ambasador habs ? That's strange I didn't have any near that source light

[shy vigil]

Screenshot removed, didn't know the rules :)

[frigid depot]

Yes, something with the ambassador hab texture causes it to become really fucking bright

[frigid depot]

Nah dw, you can post pictures, you just can’t post a picture just to show your corvette without also engaging in a discussion about kt

And since you posted a pic of a corvette, and asked a question, it’s fine

[shy vigil]

Ok I see make sense :)

[solid star]

yeah Ambassader interior can sometimes blindingly bright

[olive tide]

Does any of the interiors have 'flat' walls?

[tawny helm]

trench class hypercorvette :D

[olive tide]

Cute fauna too

[fiery jacinth]

What channel do you guys use most?

[compact jackal]

My latest totally-glitch/offset-free ship, "Annihilation Squad Gamma"

[frigid depot]

How did you do the ship separation without glitches?

[compact jackal]

The Aeron wings have much much larger “boxes” then their model indicates. They can “connect” over empty space

[frigid depot]

Oh yeah, makes sense

[compact jackal]

I could probably go one space wider if I had them all side by side but I like the diagonal look

[wanton river]

That is very cool. I need to get the aeron parts. Can't wait for the redux

[iron palm]

My new fishing boat inspired corvette is a lot larger then the old one, taller too. The bridge is very high up vs my other builds.

[fair pilot]

There is a better option now - standing signs.

There providing better support and also obstructing the hatch, making harder to accidentally fall inside.

And much easier to position

[terse kestrel]

I tried those. They do work a bit better but they look so bulky in comparison to the small Habs. Would look better in like a 2 or 3 wide hab. If we had that one that is....

One day

[tepid arrow]

Has anyone remade the Corellian G9 Rigger Class Light Freighter, also known as The Twilight, from Star Wars?

[terse kestrel]

First time somebody's asked about a Star Wars ship and I'm not actually seeing anybody having built it when I look around.

I mean it's so random I wasn't even sure what ship you were talking about.

But.....wow. that would make a badass minivette and would be doable in game. Even the gun sticking out of the wing like that

[tepid arrow]

Splendid

[warm lake]

Thats now on my to-do list along with the T6 Shuttle

[tepid arrow]

Wishing "Corvette Schematics" were a UGC type thing in this game

[terse kestrel]

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/twilight-796a76a4c30b49fbba94ae7be7cc1cb8

There's a digital 3D model of it.

That site is awesome for looking up ship designs. From branded media to just random art people create

[tepid arrow]

I found an Open3DLab model of the twilight that looks better

[warm lake]

Thats brilliant thank you! Gonna make my life so much easier haha

[tepid arrow]

https://open3dlab.com/project/d0f8f4b3-b7e7-4727-8978-74ab9630126e/

Comes with the interior and everything

[terse kestrel]

Oh that's nice. Definitely going to add that site to the list

[warm lake]

gonna plan on doing this type of design first as it feels simpler and then the twilight because thats a dope shape

[tawny helm]

OOO I SAW THAT BUILD ON REDDIT TODAY

[terse kestrel]

Not really glitch free but still cool

[tawny helm]

i need to make an actual functional corvette that i will daily instead of huge dreadnoughts

[tawny helm]

you know any good starships i can base off?

[pseudo charm]

Opinion: Which should Mitey try and prepare for troop transport. a one floor ship that has 4 habs.. or a two floor ship that ias 90 degree habs and a LOT of space?

Yesterday in the hub there was a team of four and Mitey realized quickly,. federation ship was tooo small. So working on a larger transport.. but have two. Not sure which one to focus on

[terse kestrel]

You could build a detached federation shuttle that flies next to your ship for extra troop support

[wanton river]

One floor presents a large area for quick mass deployment but it also makes for a larger target. Two floor presents the option of having the upper floor providing cover fire. Dependent on the exact shape of the ninety degree habs you could deploy from different directions while the shape of the ship provides cover

Of course most of that is irrelevant due to corvettes not actually landing

[pseudo charm]

hmm. true. As you have mastered the creation of a fleet of ships, can advise Mitey! Mitey also considered putting two habs on the feddie ship by the nacelles so that there's more room. Haven't done it yet because don't wanna lose the shape.. but am considering it highly so command deck not be as congested

[pseudo charm]

intriguing perspective

[pseudo charm]

darn it. tryin to edge a teleporter into the ship has gotten harder. anyone else noticing that?

[fair pilot]

To not duplicate the whole ass bunch of screenshots, just pasting the link here.
#nms-showcase-corvettes message
Any other suggestions for headlights?..

[strange widget]

when will the corvette updtae be relesed on nintendo?

[nimble stirrup]

Up to Nintendo

[frigid depot]

Up to Nintendo and hg for when they think it can handle it, if ever, the switch 1 really isn’t that strong of a console (trust me, I played on the same switch 1 for 7 years)

[inland wedge]

how I activate the computer ?
at the captain...

[tame patio]

Is this switch 1 or 2?

The corvettes have been out on switch 2 for a while.

[frigid depot]

Presumedly 1

[vocal silo]

Is there a part that's about as thick as a hab module but curved?

[elder iron]

Curved in what way?

I think the speedbird nacelle rim might fit what youre looking for

[vocal silo]

I kinda found what I was looking for with the hardframe diffuser rim

But I meant curved for a corner or something, there's a particular shape I was trying to get my ship to fit

[elder iron]

A slant or actual curve?

Because for a corner curve, the speedbird dome rim would work best

[vocal silo]

Preferably an actual curve but speedbird looked kinda thin to me

[elder iron]

All the rims have the height thickness of a hab

[vocal silo]

Huh then I definitely need to check the speedbird rim rq

[elder iron]

Theres two other curved rims that are thinner, which are the engine cover ones

[dusk escarp]

I finally did it 🥲 even tho it’s ugly asf

[long pawn]

great job!

[compact jackal]

Thanks! It was honestly so easy as soon as I figured out the invisible hit box for the Arron wings. You can stretch that to about 2 boxes away or 3 vertical. The helicopter wings also have similar invisible hit boxes.

No offset or glitch needed.

[terse kestrel]

It looks awesome but that invisible hit box meshing is a glitch. They obviously sized it too much compared to every other similar wing part.

If they fixed them or made it the same hitbox as every other wing it wouldn't work.

You might be used to Reddit posting where they will rip you apart and report you if you don't detail every mod and glitch you use. But here most people don't care 😂

[compact jackal]

True, but I don’t really consider a glitch the same way that offset or window glitches are. It’s an innate property of the piece that does not require any special manipulation to do.

[jade viper]

the update scrambled me just like it just did with my corvette tech :(

[terse kestrel]

No one really considers offsetting a glitch cause your just swinging a natural snap point sideways. Rotating too because it's spinning the natural snap point around.

Most glitch builds are based in manipulation of mesh points or forcing new snap points where there are none

[terse kestrel]

My tech scrambled a couple times since last update. But doesn't seem as bad as it was

[jade viper]

its.. actually on my todo list lol

[fair pilot]

Now not only tech scrambles, but also the agility stats randomises back and forth

[tender yarrow]

I was wondering how much does it typically cost to make a Corvette ship

[bleak whale]

It depends on how big you wanna make it

[tender yarrow]

Just basic modules standard size

[bleak whale]

I think you can totally make a small one even with just 5m

[jade viper]

iirc it was around 7m

[tender yarrow]

I've probably dumped about 5m into already got the cockpit reactor landing gear hab and thrusters

Do I need to get weapons for it or can I skip it for now

[jade viper]

you need atleast 1 weapon

[bleak whale]

It tells you in the top right corner, in red, what you need to get it started

[random zinc]

If I have 3 free tech slots, what trails and/or bobbleheads (not upgrade modules or bits from corvette parts) should I put in them to improve maneuverability? Can I do better if I have 4?

[terse kestrel]

Artemis for maneuverability. Polo for boost and 2 trails. All 4 give adjacency bonus

1 trail. Thought you had 4

[long pawn]

Very true! The last thing we need is people starting drama because someone didn't state every step they used to build their corvette. I think the only time something like that would matter is if there was an official contest and providing the steps the builder used for their entry was a requirement.

Off topic... I hope smaller single weapon turrets will be offered in the future. The current two weapon turrets can be a PITA when you're attempting to make a clean build.

[tender yarrow]

There's other types of modules for the Corvette ship right

Like styles and stuff like that

[terse kestrel]

Like wall modules?

[random zinc]

I can get to 4 if I get rid of the shield generator

[terse kestrel]

Ambassador, Titan and Thunderbird are the general 3 themes. But you also got individual types of wing and hull piece groups too

[terse kestrel]

Then there also the Aeron/Atlas parts

[tender yarrow]

What's the most visually appealing out of those three

[terse kestrel]

Personal preference tbh. Ambassador is a clean/science look. Titan is more raider/junker. Thunderbird is industrial/military looking

[somber apex]

Ambassador has the most comfortable cockpit which looks goofy on almost everything.

Meanwhile Thunderbird cockpit looks the best but feels claustrophobic

[merry zinc]

i’ve been collecting tons of corvette modules for salvaged scrap, about 50, but haven’t bought any individual parts yet. do I need them?

[glass surge]

Even if you don't for a corvette you're building you can store them in the corvette cache at any station in case you need them for a future design

[compact jackal]

can anyone help me figure out the fastest possible corvette i can build?

[compact jackal]

Also: WE ARE THE BORG

[valid coral]

This thing is more ridiculous in person.

And it's amazing.

[daring dagger]

is this thanos' or ronan's ship?

[jade viper]

im thinking of taking out all my pulse engine upgrades just so i have more time to walk around in my corvette inbetween travels

[valid coral]

Tbh im not sure the name. A nms fb group the guy is called chefziggy i think. That's who has creator credit as well.

[turbid pecan]

It’s Ronans, The Dark Aster iirc

[terse kestrel]

Always thought that was too edge lordy. Like no one looked at Ronan when he declared the ship's name and was like "eeehhhhhh....are you 14?"

[turbid pecan]

I meaaan let’s be honest he is kinda edgy lol

[tawny helm]

yall think it would be possible for me to build this ingame?

[hoary agate]

Probably not in 1:1 but yeah

[frigid depot]

1:1 with mods
Not 1:1 without mods

[daring dagger]

Maybe not as long but definitely!

[tawny helm]

i am starting :D

[daring dagger]

Ah the blender route, neat! I like making my ideas in vanilla, that’s where my joy/challenge aspect lies!

[tawny helm]

i enjoy doing stuff in the ingame builder too but sometimes it cant reach the size and aura that i wish to achieve

[velvet harness]

How do you guys import the blender build into NMS?

[daring dagger]

And that’s okay! You did ask if it was possible in game, maybe not as long but definitely possible but you’re building it outside the game 😂

[tawny helm]

here is a full size cockpit next to it

[daring dagger]

To each their own

[tawny helm]

i use a save editor to just wipe the data of another sacrifice ship and then copy the data from my blender to it

[velvet harness]

ahh ok

I am blown away by some of the ones I see, and was wondering how on earth they make them, like this
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1pedyqs/how_to_train_your_corvette/

but blender and import seems to make lots of sense 🙂

[tawny helm]

i just saw that one like a few hours ago!

[velvet harness]

I was like..holy crap mr steady hands, how on earth did you build that with the ingame editor...

[turbid pecan]

Possible to make an AT-AT?

[tawny helm]

whoever made that is crazy good

[tawny helm]

with blender or ingame glitches, hell yeah

[turbid pecan]

Might have to learn blender, would be sick to fly around with one lol

[tawny helm]

its actually quite easy

[velvet harness]

I spent hours building a round one a couple weeks ago with the dish, and my game crashed and it poofed...felt like someone kicked me in the stomach...

[tawny helm]

its mostly just spawn in a corvette part and then move it to where you want

[tawny helm]

here is my obscenely large trench class corvette with a normal size bridge

and here is my carrier class corvette

blender is a great tool for making corvettes and you can import them ingame

[velvet harness]

What happens if you land them at the anomaly

bad things?

[tawny helm]

they usually just glitch the fuck out

but they act like any normal corvette

just dont leave the bridge while is space, they have their own gravity

[chilly valve]

You say this but unless you play offline mode I really hope you aren’t flying this near other players or into the nexus

[tawny helm]

i only use corvettes under 200 parts around players, anything more then 400 gets sketchy

[chilly valve]

Okay good yeah , some of the blender uploads are in the thousands and it’s just not cool what it does to the playerbase’ performance

[velvet ruin]

fr

I've been lucky enough not to be ddosed by a 1:1 scale Executor yet but

[chilly valve]

I build massive ships but they only use the games parts and so far they load and don’t crush peoples performance

[tawny helm]

only my trench clash corvette is over 1k parts and im not even sure

[velvet ruin]

I've also heard decorations are a lot softer on frames than Corvette parts, so if your Corvette is mostly deco parts like flat panels it's even better

[tawny helm]

all my ships use vanilla parts, im scared to use modded parts

[chilly valve]

I’m not using modded parts

[velvet ruin]

I don't wanna use modded parts cuz nobody will see them 😢

[tawny helm]

i think its the interiors on habs are what makes the game lag thje most

[velvet ruin]

That makes sense

[tawny helm]

but less voxels = better performance

[velvet ruin]

There's an excessive amount of detail in those habs

So ig if your Corvette is just a massive shell of deco parts with only a few habs it's probably fine

[tawny helm]

this one here has barely any voxels

[chilly valve]

My dreadnaught is my crown jewel and yeah habs murder performance so I’m really touchy about using them to fill space

[tawny helm]

while this thing is just... uhh

[velvet ruin]

Tbh there's just not enough stuff to fill massive Corvettes if they're full of habs so having limited habs is probably better abyway

[tawny helm]

dont use corvette parts for detailing lets just say that

[velvet ruin]

This is awesome

[tawny helm]

god damn

[chilly valve]

Thanks man. These are actually older photos I rebuilt the bridge and added landing pads to its rear and its front hangar

[velvet ruin]

That's a beast

[tawny helm]

that looks like a freaking ancient gek weapon

[velvet ruin]

Fr

How well does it land on stations and freighters?

[chilly valve]

Hold on lemme get to my pc I’ll show good pics

[velvet ruin]

Should I build mine further forward so the back doesn't like cover the Corvette teleport pads at stations and stuff

if I build a big one

[chilly valve]

Hehe 1 sec

[velvet ruin]

oh my gosh

[chilly valve]

takes up 2 and a half pads in the anomaly\

[velvet ruin]

Rip everyone there

[tawny helm]

gyah damn

[chilly valve]

no see its not even 200 parts and reasonably low hab count

[tawny helm]

atleast urs fit

[chilly valve]

takes a bit to load but doesnt mess with anybodies preformance

[velvet ruin]

Imagine the terror of the person driving the 1:1 scale Executor that's 2x bigger than a pirate freighter when they accidentally start landing on the anomaly with multiplayer on

[chilly valve]

i wouldnt want something freighter sized tbh

i like my mid-large size stuff

[tawny helm]

i drive ships around that size, it moves like a normal car but with a 20 unit long log sticking out the trunk

[mystic halo]

HOW

[chilly valve]

how......what , specifics pls :p

[mystic halo]

how is it so big

[chilly valve]

pc mods

[mystic halo]

ah so i wont be able to make it cos i use ps5

: (

it looks very cool though

unfortunately yes , however

1 large wing horizontal or 2 small angled?

[chilly valve]

where

[fair pilot]

front

[chilly valve]

large wing

or

hmm

[fair pilot]

angled looks nice

but will obstruct one of the weapon barrels when I'll finish placing weapons

[chilly valve]

you have a really nice taper here

i almost would say f the wings

give it that ED anaconda kinda vibe

[fair pilot]

With no wings.

[chilly valve]

ya

way better

[fair pilot]

At this moment there are more glitches in this ship than the ship itself xD

More Arcadia's foils or no? 😄

Without, too repetitive.

Look - slightly worse shape, but much better colouring. And sneaked in aeron parts.

Ok the last question - exposed engine, or not exposed?
Issue with exposed is the brick from the engines, but I'll figure out something.

[mystic halo]

tbh i would love to be able to make huge corvettes in nms or with a new name in a furture update

[chilly valve]

unfortunately the corvettes were limited due to preformance , switch 2 can BARELY handle them , i cant see them increasing the limits anytime soon

[tawny helm]

took me so bloody long to make this ass looking engine nozzle

[tough plank]

THE DARK ASTER?!?

[valid coral]

Yea. Anomaly lagging as all hell but outside of that, no issue. And it's massive inside too.

[tough plank]

Heck yeah, I was wondering if someone would ever build it.

@valid coral, what's your NMS friend code, I need to see your ship in person, with my Milano.

[tawny helm]

barrels is 75% of complexity 😭

[tough plank]

@tawny helm my ship has more maneuverability than yours, finally.

[tawny helm]

god i need to find a way to reduce this

[tawny helm]

you know i can just... increase it to 20k right?

[tough plank]

Look.

[tawny helm]

gl flying with that

[tough plank]

I got it to 17k.

[tough plank]

Whenever I turn, it acts like I hit something with the Pulse Engine. I go fly.

[tawny helm]

yeah that happens

[tough plank]

I learned the hard way...

[tawny helm]

thats why i never go above 8k

@chilly valve i fucked up

this shit will NOT load ingame

[tough plank]

Thanks.

[sacred fjord]

How would I use the aerofoil to make a triangle

Trying to do an arcadia from destiny

[tawny helm]

which one

[sacred fjord]

Speedbird

I need a thin triangle that I can use

[tawny helm]

triangle...

like one upside down?

or one backwards

[sacred fjord]

No like I need them connected together

No gaps

[tawny helm]

so each one goes back to back right?

[sacred fjord]

Yes

[tawny helm]

there is a guide for that

check the pins

btw rate my shiny ass corvette

[sacred fjord]

Too big

Anyways can I get that guide?

[tawny helm]

nah really?

[tawny helm]

dude...

check the goddamn pins

rate my other big ass corvette

[somber apex]

Looks like a deep sea tunicate

[glass surge]

Yo momma so big that The Anomaly rejected it

[tawny helm]

yo momma is actually so big she has her own gravitational field

[terse kestrel]

You have to offset your Habs half a space left and right and connect those aerofoil pieces on them.

So you need to put a Hab in the middle, swing it to one side and attach the aerofoil. Then swing The Hub back to the middle and then back to the other side and place the other aerofoil on the other side of it

[frigid depot]

Erm, technically 🤓
Everyone has their own gravitational field, it’s just that most things have a low enough density and mass that it doesn’t actually matter

[terse kestrel]

The tricky part is trying to get the hab over that first aerofoil. It's snap point May prevent you from doing that. It may not want to mesh right

[sacred fjord]

Thanks, somone that actually said oh dont use a guide let me be based and actually explain how to do it

[terse kestrel]

You may have to rotate the hab for that second one and place the arrow foil backwards on it. That will still give you your triangle

[terse kestrel]

Nobody here knows every trick. I myself still learn things new from what people find out. And on top of that nobody here is getting paid for this. We're all just players helping other players figure out the mechanics.

Try and be chill about it or people may not be inclined to help you at all in the future.

[frigid depot]

It’s way easier to link a guide than it is to explain in words every time someone asks how to do it, it’s also usually easier for people to understand what to do when they can look at it

[tawny helm]

@terse kestrel rate my new corvette

[small fable]

i need to try playing around with the building in blender. looks kinda fun

[tawny helm]

is extremely fun

[small fable]

is it pretty simple to export the files over to nms? do you just use a save editor?

Yamato out of Yamato

I wish we had a outside of NMS Corvette builder that could import it to NMS that for non modded builds

[tawny helm]

keeper class corvette next to big boy

[strange widget]

Awww! I want one!

[tawny helm]

@terse kestrel can i post it on nomanskyapp and will it be the same size?

[terse kestrel]

Not sure about that. I don't even know how to go through the process to post on the service bot.

[velvet ruin]

What are those stats..

[wanton river]

Mods

[tawny helm]

normal stast

[terse kestrel]

Normal about 17K maneuverability 😂

[fair pilot]

So I posted the finished (or current state, at least) ship.

ty for help 🙂

[velvet ruin]

nah thats hyperdrive range 💀

[wispy trail]

is there a way to delete a corvette

like mine has 80 parts and im too lazy go thorugh and delete the hundreds of other stuff

You'd have to make a circle as a template and build off that.
