[grizzled flower]

Ok thanks. Not much going on there I see. I will check back later I guess.

[compact jackal]

Oooh. Here’s my next project.

All the cool ships people have built, based on stuff, but I haven’t seen anything with R-Type yet.

I’ll use the same method that made this ship but I’m gonna try for R-Type next. I’ll see if there’s a rounder part that does what the Arron wings do here

[wet anchor]

how is the corvette service bot allowed?

like doesnt it just sorta make any corvette progression irrelevant if u play normal?

[nimble stirrup]

why wouldn't it be allowed?

everyone has their own playstyle, some people don't care for progression

[wet anchor]

yea i know but it just seems crazy that u can get an op corvette even if u play normal

its cool tho

[cursive lark]

No more then turning off building costs and building anything you want (I do this)

[cursive lark]

I mean you can just do this with in game settings

[wet anchor]

yea i know

[tepid arrow]

The Crimson Bastion

[granite sage]

Chat I need advice. I'm using interior decorations to decorate the outside of my corvette but even in free placement mode the stupid things are snapping to surfaces which is making stuff like the hanging flags look like they are attached to the air, rather than the support beam touching the hull

Edit: Nvm, I figured it out. Im using barracades as temporary walls for flag placement

[long pawn]

Here's my latest. I haven't thought of a good name yet. ((Really feel it should fit within the lore of NMS.)).

"No Name" may look simple but she was anything but. There was a ton of offset glitching, creative stacking, taking apart, and rebuilding involved. No 180º rotation glitches were used. She is built around a few habs because I haven't mastered the art of hollow shell construction ((yet.))

"No Name" is the first corvette I've intentionally built without a entryway in the back. I used the elevator one ((forget the name)) and placed it directly behind the cockpit. Because this particular entryway is notorious for being buggy, I installed a ladder to the ground in the hab directly behind as a precaution.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with her. My only quibble is her front makes it look like I just stuck some Aeron parts on of a couple of habs and called her done. I wish her construction had been as straightforward as that. You're looking at version 5 after 2 days worth of fiddling with snap points. The duct and rockhopper wing were my constant companions throughout the process. LOL

[uncut tundra]

any1 got any advice they can give to me for corvette building

[granite sage]

A thing that flies with my custom offset turbine wings

[uncut tundra]

nice job

[granite sage]

Yes.

First build a basic ship and finalise it, then go ahead and add all the tech modules you need. Fill every tech slot. Then you can modify the basic corvette, delete all the parts you placed and then start building the corvette so you don't have tech slots taken by corvette modules and stuff.

Some more advice i'd give, a method I personally use. Have a vision for what ship you want. Build it, it doesn't have to be perfect. Try out new things to add on. Then when you are finished, see what parts of the ship you like.

Whenever you feel like it, modify that corvette, delete all the parts and rebuild it using the parts you liked from the last design, add new things and repeat that until you are happy with the result.

That ship I posted above was rebuilt around 15 times over 4 days until I was happy with it. Its alot of experimenting and trying new stuff. Sure, you can watch tutorials but they won't really show you how to build a ship in your style.

Never stop practicing ❤️ everytime you rebuild a corvette, you gain new skills and tricks.

[granite sage]

Tysm 😊

[uncut tundra]

cheers

what do u mean by that first point

[granite sage]

About the tech modules?

[uncut tundra]

ye

like when u fill them up do the tech modules stay but not visually on the corvette

[granite sage]

Okay so if you just build a corvette normally and finalise it, you'll find that your tech slots are taken over by corvette habs, weapons, shields, reactors, thrusters. They take up a lot of room.

If you build a basic corvette, so 1 hab, 1 reactor, cockpit etc; just the bare essentials, you then upgrade the corvette to S class, unlock all the slots and then add all the tech modules for weapon upgrades, shield upgrades, pulse drive, hyperdrive etc;

Then you can go back to the corvette builder, modify the build, delete all the parts you placed and then start building your actual corvette. That way, when you finalise your corvette, your tech slots are already filled with the upgrades you placed and you won't have half your tech slots taken over by the corvette modules.

If you don't do the tech slots before the build. You have like half of your tech slots taken over by corvette tech modules such as habs, reactors etc; which can really limit the corvette.

[uncut tundra]

so basically u build a simple corvette, upgrade to S class, add tech modules, delete the basic corvette, then build the final one

[granite sage]

Exactly.

It also makes rebuilding easier because you can just open the corvette builder, delete your old corvette parts and then build a new one and your tech slots will already be built

[uncut tundra]

so i assume that the tech slots arent physically changed by what u put on the corvette

[granite sage]

Well to a degree yes. I've noticed that even after I fill all the tech slots, the habs, reactors and thrusters usually are still there so they will change if you add different ones of those, but they won't remove the tech modules you already installed so its nothing to worry about. Might just require a small reorganisation so certain thrusters and reactors can get adjacency bonuses

[uncut tundra]

could u remove the hab modules from the tech module UI and add more tech modules onto the corvette or does that not work the way i think it works

[granite sage]

Unfortunately you can't remove the corvette modules from the tech slots so the habs and stuff are always just there. Its annoying and I hope they change that in the next update but for now yeah we are stuck with that

[uncut tundra]

so is that y u minimalise the amount of habs used in the initial build

[granite sage]

Yes, because using 1 means you have 2 extra tech slots. And even after they are full, 3 will end up there in the final build. I think the game adds extra tech slots for habs, reactors, cockpit and thrusters afterwards. I think the devs coded them to be forced bc they seem to take priority over weapons.

[uncut tundra]

i mean

tbh any new player would legit spam the weapon modules cus they dont know how they work and expect all of them to fire at the same time

def didnt do that when i first used it

[granite sage]

Well phase beams all fire at the same time. But yeah, if you're doing the tech slots before you build your actual corvette, the weapons become decorations because the modules arent being added to the tech slots. I like to spam weapons around certain builds like my warships because its just epic to see a billion guns firing 🤣

[uncut tundra]

lol

i think the should change it where each weapon individually fires instead of just upgrading the original weapons ngl

[granite sage]

Hopefully the next update they bring out will expand the corvette system and hopefully bring corvette doors and stuff 🙏

[uncut tundra]

Voyagers II update like Worlds II update

[granite sage]

Honestly praying for it 😭 I love building corvettes but the current system needs work- and a build camera jeez

[uncut tundra]

lol

how much practise have u had with building stuff like corvettes

[granite sage]

I build atleast 1 corvette a day

[uncut tundra]

tbh i probably could build something cool, im just impatient

[uncut tundra]

i can imagine u having like a 100 day world with a whole shed load of corvette templates

[granite sage]

Thats why I do my method of build and rebuild. Bc I can just work on it when I can be bothered

[uncut tundra]

also are frieghters now changed to have corvettes land in them

[granite sage]

Yes. They have 2 landing pads on the sides of the standard docking entry

And you can just teleport inside the docking bay from your corvette

[uncut tundra]

nice

i like the fact u can literally float in space and skydive now

[granite sage]

Skydiving is quite fun

[uncut tundra]

u dont have to jump of a frigitte anymore

[uncut tundra]

holy english

[granite sage]

Currently working on a split corvette so skydiving is easier than ever now

[uncut tundra]

split corvette?

like a catamaran (idk why i thought abt that)

[granite sage]

Ill send some pics. Still working on it rn but yeah the basic structure is done

[uncut tundra]

ive only made one corvette

and when i say its bad its bad

[granite sage]

Split corvette

[granite sage]

Im sure its not

[uncut tundra]

ooh so u just have a walkway for skydiving at any point

[uncut tundra]

I think otherwise

[granite sage]

Its a massive platform that I can use to build like an outdoor workspace, maybe a garden, anything really

[uncut tundra]

imagine ur in combat against some1 and thelast thing the see is a garden in space

[granite sage]

LOL

Its so funny bc the ship is huge but has 2000+ manouevrability 🤣

[uncut tundra]

is there a size limit for corvettes?

or should i ask what is the size limit

[chrome quartz]

100 parts

[uncut tundra]

100 parts?

ok

[granite sage]

I need more parts 😢 I want 200 part limit

[uncut tundra]

1000 part limit

[chrome quartz]

blue theme for a corpus? adds up

[hoary agate]

100000000000¹⁰ part limit

[granite sage]

Indeed

[uncut tundra]

10^10^10^10^10^10^10

[hoary agate]

Pepole will still say its not enough

[chrome quartz]

nah 16! part limit

[uncut tundra]

thats tiny

[chrome quartz]

not 16, 16!

[uncut tundra]

16! is dinky small

100!!

[chrome quartz]

16 is a important number in this game

[hoary agate]

Technicaly corvette part limit is 21k

If u use decors

[uncut tundra]

then dont say 16!

say 16!!

[uncut tundra]

i reallllyyyy want to nerd emoji u rn

but i will respect your level of knowledge

[granite sage]

If im to be reasonable, 125 part limit & enabling the visuals on excess thrusters & wings would be more than enough. I always find that im always needing just a few extra parts on a build 💔 and I hate how additional thrusters and rockhopper wings stop functioning after 4 parts 😔

[uncut tundra]

what do rockhopper wings do

oh like visually stop working?

[remote crypt]

Yes, it's sad

[chrome quartz]

cosmetic but they look cool

[granite sage]

I think they are just for visual effects. They activate when the corvette lands but I dont think they actually contribute to anything

[remote crypt]

Just one discord

[uncut tundra]

hmm

[remote crypt]

Poor dead rockhopper

[uncut tundra]

i like the nautilus-esque colour palette

the image works well with the water in the bg

corvettes can land on water right?

[granite sage]

Yes with the aqua jet tech

[chrome quartz]

fr, also one of the wikis actually shows a bunch of corvette parts that exist but werent fully added

[granite sage]

They can also basically "land" anywhere. Even at orbital heights. You can just teleport down

[granite sage]

Wait fr??? I gotta see this

[chrome quartz]

https://www.nomansskyresources.com/corvette-parts

[uncut tundra]

orbital heights is crazy

[granite sage]

Ty

[uncut tundra]

im annoyed i missed the expedition

[chrome quartz]

theres like 3 cockpits, an "internal landing bay" which is so gonna replace the titan class for those outdoor sections
2 extra reactors and some other stuff

[chrome quartz]

cough cough https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/ cough cough

[granite sage]

This screams corvette part 2 update

Deadeye cannon is for positron ejector I assume

[uncut tundra]

and this is?

shoot i play on xbox

what was the breach expedition

[chrome quartz]

unfortunate, if you were on pc that would let you play any expediton offline and get the rewards

[uncut tundra]

ik i read the thingy

[granite sage]

I use a service bot that gives me any expedition rewards, quicksilver, ships, anything in the game and i'm on Xbox. I even got the incinerator tech for my multi tool

[uncut tundra]

slide over rq

[granite sage]

Bet dm me

[tawny helm]

i made a saucer

[remote crypt]

Noice

[tawny helm]

its gonna be my main corvette for a while

[uncut tundra]

how do u upgrade corvette class

that doesnt help

[tawny helm]

in the station at upgrades, you can upgrade class for nanites

[uncut tundra]

im surprised how smooth the physics are when ur not in ur frigate and u have autopilot on

[tawny helm]

yaah

[uncut tundra]

and these apgrades are where?

if u use thunderbird class walkway u can literally stand in space while ur travelling

[uncut tundra]

cheers

[acoustic yoke]

for a project I'm working on (tba) I need to decide on a corvette builder role, similar to the playstyle roles seen in #roles

1. Corvette Architect
2. Corvette Engineer
3. Engineer

which one sounds the best?

I'm not much of a corvette person myself, that's why asking first hand makes the most sense to me

[uncut tundra]

aww fudge

i tried to build a corvette and i fir the freaking limit

fixed

W

Got a chunky ahh corvette with 3000 manauverability

[uncut tundra]

any1 wanna see my first go at a corvette

[hoary agate]

Post it ,then they will have to look at it anyways

[uncut tundra]

ill force every1 to look at it mwhahahahahaha

i feel like they should add ship docking bays so like 1 or 2 ships could dock inside the corvette

[abstract crow]

That'll definitely break the game.

More

[hoary agate]

Exocrafts. Maybe. The small ones.

[terse kestrel]

Damn straight. I want them to perfect the Corvette model they already have. Clean it up for a few months and then slowly start injecting new things into it in the spring.

In classic HG fashion every time they change or add something to Corvettes it's going to break something with corvettes. It's inevitable.

[terse kestrel]

At the very least there should be some sort of Corvette station that allows us to activate an exocraft and it teleports us to the ground in that exocraft.

But attaching exocraft bays to the Corvette may look cool but is unnecessary dev work on HG's part. Since we have four other ways of summoning them already.

Everybody wants to Titanfall jump off their Corvette in their Minotaur 😂

[hoary agate]

U dont even use the corvette

[terse kestrel]

What do you mean? For exocraft?

[fair pilot]

White somehow is the best colour for my corvette

[uncut tundra]

🔥

[somber apex]

Oh! Was that made without Blender?

[bleak crow]

Are you guys going to the Corvette Meet? https://www.reddit.com/r/NOMANSSKY/comments/1pca7zv/happy_to_announce_the_3rd_corvette_meeting/#lightbox

[humble gorge]

The Atlas's Blessing.

[fair pilot]

90% vanilla. I used base builder app to organise decorations and lights, because of my OCD.

And to move guns & landing gear into unnatural positions 🙁

But every decoration parts was placed manually, and could be positioned manually almost perfect, I'm just too lazy to spend millions of hours in 1st person view.

I posted it yesterday but in other colour
#nms-showcase-corvettes message

And changed antennaes.

[terse kestrel]

Last one I went to I lagged out a couple times and left 😂

[uncut tundra]

personally i like it

im not copying it but i am using the general shape as a sort of template for my own

[terse kestrel]

Blue Squadron engaging a dreadnaught

I can only fly in 3rd cause the cockpit is enclosed 😐

[uncut tundra]

how do they all shoot at once

[terse kestrel]

Phase beams all fire at once. It's why their DPS is so high. All shots making contact at the same time.

[uncut tundra]

i mean why do they all do the same thing

are they just 5 different mini corvettes in the same place

[terse kestrel]

I fly the command ship with the radar dish. The rest are basically "drones" in supoort

[uncut tundra]

cool

i feel like u could sacrifice one or two of the drones to make the others larger or the main one larger

My first (kinda good) corvette, idk what to put at the top tho

any ideas pls tell me

[fair pilot]

I can share it and previous iterations for using as base if you'd like to.

[uncut tundra]

nah i did most of it

[terse kestrel]

Just using the chat as a gallery with zero context or addition to current discussion

[fair pilot]

I had to sacrifice hoppers tho, they're not fitting the ship anymore

[uncut tundra]

how do u get the part clipping so perfect

[fair pilot]

Btw in my ship every titan engine is actually 2 of them.

[fair pilot]

I need specific example to explain

But mostly offset, rotation, or both.

[uncut tundra]

offset?

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

[fair pilot]

By placing specific parts on the hub and then moving the hub you can move it half-block in any direction.

Sometimes you need to combine multiple techniques tho.

[uncut tundra]

oh nice

[fair pilot]

My reactors are clipped into 2x1 place

[uncut tundra]

damn

also ur right, the white on blue is such a cool colour

[fair pilot]

2 normally, 2 reversed, 1 offset, 1 reversed offset, 2 90° rotated, 1 90+offset

Normal and rotated are easily clipping into a single space

[flat aurora]

Hi everyone, I've written a website here to share corvettes, could you test it so that I know for sure if everything is fine with it?
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/Wkn74tFkWe

[terse kestrel]

Sounds like your trying to solve an ancient puzzle 😂

[uncut tundra]

ancient mayan puzzle

"On the fourth baktuhn the puzzle shall reveal itself"

[uncut tundra]

how do u get the seperate ships?

did u just build out and delete the connected bits

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

You have to use the second Corvette build terminal to do the trick. But that video explains how to do it.

Just build your Corvette and then use the second terminal to delete any parts you don't want on it.

You can literally delete anything on your Corvette that you don't want

[uncut tundra]

so basicaly building off of the original, then doing the trick

[verbal sigil]

100 parts is not the limit ?

[uncut tundra]

it is

[verbal sigil]

Only 100 parts here ?!

[uncut tundra]

idk

maybe

[terse kestrel]

There's the base builder app people use along with blender to remove build limits of Corvettes

[chilly valve]

no lol thats not 100 parts

more like 350

maybe more? i dunno, she huge

[uncut tundra]

tysm for how to get seperate ships

i want to try smthn tho

wait can i still edit it after i added the seperate bits

well

u cant sadly

[terse kestrel]

Yeah any of that disconnecting or removal of essential parts has to be the very last thing you do. When your ship is finalized. Past that you're going to get the disconnected error message when you go in to the Corvette builder

[uncut tundra]

disconnected eroor message?

it just turns the mini ships red for me

[terse kestrel]

Up in the top right where it will say all parts must be connected

Like if you don't have a reactor or weapon attached. Those error messages

[uncut tundra]

oh those disconnected error messages

[tulip zealot]

Been remaking the hull a lot
I hope we'll get some sail parts some day
Or just the option to resize the normal sails without glitch building

[uncut tundra]

great work

what is it that increases the build limit

[terse kestrel]

#nms-modding

Ask there. They'll be able to tell you which apps or mods you need for specific Corvette workarounds

[tulip zealot]

The sails can't be scaled at all
Use an item next to it, max out the size and press build and next part at the same time
It's a bit more work now that the transmitters are between the sails

[terse kestrel]

Part of the problem is the Corvette World space. And it inflating the size parameters of buildable decorative objects as you go further from the center of your Corvette.

Like go to the very middle of your Corvette and you can shrink decorations down super small. But as you go further out from The Middle the size that you're allowed to shrink it gets bigger and bigger. Before you are cut off I'm shrinking it further.

So I don't think it's an easy fix. Considering it's the whole basis of the Corvette bubble and where it exists in the game

[tulip zealot]

Oh yeah
"Base out of range"

[terse kestrel]

Yep

Like you can get those wall monitors down to be super tiny near the middle of your corvette. But you can barely shrink them down half size near the edges.

[tulip zealot]

The sails also have a horrible hitbox
You have to place it like 10m to the left of where you want to have it

[uncut tundra]

Zarkan

i have realised that if u enter the corvette build menu but dont change anything (like if u accidentally entered) u can just exit and it wont change

[terse kestrel]

Yeah you can just bail out of the Corvette menu and it will ignore any edits or changes you made. But if you try to change your edit anything and save it it'll stop you as long as it's throwing up an error

[uncut tundra]

i think if u do want to add stuff it doesnt change it too much as its super easily replicatable

can u use the build limit increaser + the glitch to have multiple ships?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah. I haven't heard of any of the glitches or tricks used in Corvette being broken by the mods

[uncut tundra]

nice

now i just need to... get... the... mods... :I

[abstract crow]

Only mod that broke anything on my game so far was the additional parts effect or whatever mod that makes it so more guns /engines/landing gear worked.

[uncut tundra]

wdym more guns, engines and landing gear worked

dont they all works

the only reason i probably wont get the mod is cus my computer aint compatible with shi

W

i finished my corvette

i feel like just today (with the community's help) i became wayyyyyyy better at corvette building

Zarkan

dont u have like 6 seperate ships

[wraith quiver]

oh

[uncut tundra]

y do u only have 6 ships

is it cus u can only have 6 work phaze beams working

[terse kestrel]

I'm on Xbox myself. Can't use mods to remove limit

[wraith quiver]

das cute

[uncut tundra]

same

[terse kestrel]

That squadron build is exactly 100 parts. Right at the limit.

[uncut tundra]

holy optimise

wait how

cus u wouldve had to remove stuff

[chilly valve]

cute?

[uncut tundra]

cute

[terse kestrel]

You can also use base decoration parts like those long hanging wires to connect ships together. And as long as the ends are touching the two parts it will consider them connected.

[chilly valve]

cute

so cute

[terse kestrel]

So I was keeping the ships connected together with scaffolding, using the scaffolding to place wires from ship to ship to keep them connected and then going back in to delete the scaffolding.

It took 3 days but it worked

[uncut tundra]

long hanging wires?

what kinda long hanging wires

[uncut tundra]

super cute

Those red and yellow wires. You can get them from the decoration terminal at the anomaly for salvage data

You can resize them to make them stretch out pretty long. And use those to connect parts of your Corvette. Delete them when you are done building

[wraith quiver]

absolutely adorable i love it

[uncut tundra]

ohh so u can lose like a lot of parts that u would lose out from just snaking hubs

[chilly valve]

this ones pretty adorable too

[wraith quiver]

man i dont play this game nearly as often lol i just sit here and lurk

I very much enjoy your build style

[terse kestrel]

Yep.

oh thanks man i appreciate that

[uncut tundra]

i might be able to make one more drone then

i only have 2

[vivid remnant]

Hello, all building the interior of my first big corvette and im stumped on what to do with the last hub. Ill send a vid but if any ideas about ship interior lmk thanks

[wraith quiver]

no idea but that looks amazing

[uncut tundra]

how did u get the hanging wires to work

[vivid remnant]

What platform are you on

Im on xbox. I pressed the right stick it which gives three different directional options

Irritating process

Stick in*

[wraith quiver]

^ thats how i do it

[uncut tundra]

is the three wires, tangled or parallel best to use

[vivid remnant]

Does everyone have the problem when whenever you look a bit to the left in build mode with certain objects it just spins and spins? I use then use the bumpers and it goes the opposite way

[uncut tundra]

yup

[vivid remnant]

Then use*

Ahahahaha

Great

Try them all some look better then other in certain spots

[uncut tundra]

its when the screen gets moved behind the wall then it gets moved foward, but whens there is not enough space it moves back and so on so forth

[vivid remnant]

Others* man i cant type at all

[verbal sigil]

How to get this "base builder app" ?

[vivid remnant]

App?

What you talking about willice

Is there a way i can look at the chats media so i can see all the corvette pics??

Answered my own question dw

[terse kestrel]

The three long wires are best to use. But to place them properly you would need to have something to place them against. Which is why I built the scaffolding to place the wires from ship to ship. And then deleted the scaffolding after. Leaving the wires hanging there

[terse kestrel]

It's on Nexus mods. Ask #nms-modding for the link

[uncut tundra]

the wires just get deleted when i go into the editor

[vivid remnant]

Can also use the the shelves

Place shelf then use that as a wall then delete shelfs

[uncut tundra]

ill just leave it

i probably do need a detailed video

[vivid remnant]

Where are u trying to place it?

[uncut tundra]

i just want a third 'drone' ship with my other 2

[vivid remnant]

Okay drone ship. This is out of my league

[wraith quiver]

oh i thought you just wanted one hanging inside

[uncut tundra]

i have 2 ships thay are sperated from my main ship

[vivid remnant]

Same

I dont get it

Like ur corvette is three separate parts

[wraith quiver]

i think i saw some people using a bytebeat cable for something like that. im assuming you want.. like podracer style?

[uncut tundra]

one what

[uncut tundra]

ya

[uncut tundra]

nah

[vivid remnant]

I see how did you manage that

[wraith quiver]

Ah i cannot quite picture what youre trying to do ]

[uncut tundra]

should i send a screenshot of what i have currently

[vivid remnant]

Asking me for tips for you're a god

[uncut tundra]

Zarkan does

im pretty sure zarkan like pioneered the seperate ships

[vivid remnant]

U trying to make it like the racer pods in star wars

[uncut tundra]

nah

[wraith quiver]

just look like a fleet

[vivid remnant]

Oh ahahaha i mean but bigger

[wraith quiver]

i was thinking you wanted the wires to connect ship 1 to ship 2 etc lol

[terse kestrel]

iDepry was the one who figured out we could do it. I just made the video of it

[uncut tundra]

oh cool

can i show pic of what i have made

[wraith quiver]

yeah dude its in the discussion

[uncut tundra]

k

[terse kestrel]

I just build cool looking corvettes.

iDerpy is an artist. He definitely has the skills

[uncut tundra]

this is what i made

[wraith quiver]

dope

[vivid remnant]

You built it or is that your squadron

[wraith quiver]

so where did you want to put wires?

[uncut tundra]

i built it

[vivid remnant]

Madness

[uncut tundra]

holy moly man

i dont want it to be a podracer

[vivid remnant]

You learn something new everyday

Thats cool

[wraith quiver]

lol i know you DONT want it a pod racer we established that. but you asked about wires and im asking where you want them

[terse kestrel]

If you zoom in on that picture you can see how I used hanging lights to connect the body to the engines of that podracer. So you can use any decoration to make it work

[uncut tundra]

cool

[vivid remnant]

😂

[uncut tundra]

my phaze beam is broken

[terse kestrel]

And I saw somebody mentioned the byte beat machine. And yeah you can use that as well to connect separated parts

You put the main machine in the main body of your corvette. And then use byte beat transmitters in the separated parts to connect to the main machine. It will register the connection in the Corvette menu

[uncut tundra]

how does that work?

ohhhh

[terse kestrel]

It's that byte beat cable that does it

[uncut tundra]

Ill try that

[terse kestrel]

If we could use the teleporter wire or basic wires it would be so much simpler

[uncut tundra]

but do u need access bays for that

[terse kestrel]

No. The wires will just go through the hull of the ship

[uncut tundra]

but dont u need something to connect the wires to?

[wraith quiver]

bytebeat cables can connect to anything

[uncut tundra]

i havent played for ages

[wraith quiver]

i HAVE and i JUST learned that lol dont sweat it

[uncut tundra]

well at least some1 is with me

i have and just learnt how to make decent corvettes

[wraith quiver]

yeah i like making small ones lol im lazy

[uncut tundra]

first one i made was pure shi

[wraith quiver]

lol yeah ive gotten a lot better at making them look somewhat decent

[uncut tundra]

u could use the bytebeat cables as the podracer stuff

OHHHH W

i have literally just enough for a third drone

[abstract crow]

Big space boats are love

Maybe I should try a 2-shio build. Two larger than vanilla ship designs side-by-side.

[terse kestrel]

Wtf? I've never heard anybody say that and everybody's been using the trick where you connect machine to transmitter

But you can just connect them to any points like wires?

[wraith quiver]

yup i used a bunch of them to make a "door"

[terse kestrel]

And I just spent 3 days playing whack-a-mole with scaffolding and wires to make my fleet when I could have done that in a few hours

[uncut tundra]

yup

they work

[terse kestrel]

Nice

Nice

[uncut tundra]

ur saying nice but i can tell ur furious after days of optimisation and imaculate precision just to now know u can do it easily with music

music is the answer to everything

[terse kestrel]

Not mine but this was the best disconnected build I've seen. The complete randomization of it just looks like some kind of civilian or smuggler fleet

[uncut tundra]

its like abstract art

[terse kestrel]

Like the last group off an exploding world

That Tankvette is peak

[wraith quiver]

the holo door i made

[uncut tundra]

is that with bytebeat cables lmao?

[wraith quiver]

inside view lol

yeah with the cables

[uncut tundra]

wdym by u can connect bytebeat cables to any structure?

it doest connect to corvette parts

[terse kestrel]

It looks like they're connected to the wall panels. Not the Corvette parts

[uncut tundra]

idk what a wall panel is

or i do and im an idiot

[terse kestrel]

So yeah as long as you put a basic decoration item somewhere in your separated part you can just connect the cable to that

[wraith quiver]

Ah i was mainly meaning that it didnt need the bytebeat machine

[terse kestrel]

Those storage that they have on the wall on either sides of the door. There just a decorative items

[cursive lark]

It's a decor part that's just a flat white panel

[uncut tundra]

oh k

can u put them on corvettes?

[wraith quiver]

yeah so i guess slap a deco down on a corvette first

[uncut tundra]

whats it called a wall panel?

[wraith quiver]

yeah

[fair pilot]

Looks nie, but remind me of an angry face...

[vivid remnant]

Do you guys know the best way to get ship augmentations?

[uncut tundra]

lol

i cant seem to attach stuff to wall panels on the corvettes

[fair pilot]

what type of stuff?

Enable free placement tho

[wraith quiver]

did you turn on free placement

[uncut tundra]

cough cough maybe

wait theres free placement for corvettes

i mean

[wraith quiver]

theres free placement for being on foot

[uncut tundra]

its fine ive already got a solution

[wraith quiver]

and you can build on foot on your corvette

[uncut tundra]

ive already connected it with bytebeat switches

and ive closed of the access so no1 can change it

[wraith quiver]

yall are making me want to go deal with my damn ship interior i just dont know what to do with it

[uncut tundra]

bud i havent started it

i only added bytebeat switches in the drones' habs so i can edit it without getting the disconnected message

ye nvm i dont need the panels when i have free placement

[uncut tundra]

anyways

enough of that

ive added a third drone thats all i wanted

Zarkan i see why u made blue squadron cus it looks cool af

if i get a squadron itll look even cooler

i still hold my statement saying that corvettes should have a docking bay for ships

[fair pilot]

There are million of things corvettes need BEFORE the docking bay.

[uncut tundra]

name a million things rn

[fair pilot]

Especially if taking the sizes of some standard starships into account.

[uncut tundra]

itll be like a (assuming a walkway is 1x1) 3x3 maybe 3x3x4 space

[fair pilot]

Let's start from improving building system with built-in offset and rotation for all parts, continue with more parts, add the landing pads for corvettes themselves.

[uncut tundra]

u can park it in the sky what more do u want

[fair pilot]

I want to land it on my base or dock it.

[uncut tundra]

skydive down to your base

[fair pilot]

Anyway, corvette is a "better starship" now, not a base like freighter.

[elder iron]

Arguably the offset is built-in

[fair pilot]

Well, intentionally enabled offset.

[elder iron]

And theres players who claim to exclusively use corvette as their base

I definitely agree with some form of corvette landing/parking build thing being needed

[velvet ruin]

There are mods for that but they're mods and I think they replace one of the existing landing pads

[terse kestrel]

I'm one. I have no refiners or machines on any base. All my building is just for fun and I have no functional planetary base

[velvet ruin]

Really should be vanilla

Hang on

!hg

[lament abyss]

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

[velvet ruin]

We should all suggest it

[elder iron]

Theres no way a corvette landing pad/zone/parking guide of some sort isnt on the to-do list for them

Also I dont like flooding devs with the same request a bunch of times, lol

[abstract crow]

The whole planet is my landing pad.

[wraith quiver]

Who lands?

jkjk it would be cool to see a landing pad

[abstract crow]

🙁 I wouldn't fit.

Doomed to use the ocean instead.

[hardy oracle]

Might be nice with a tiny pad that just ensures that the corvette appears high in the air above that spot. That'd reflect how many actually use their corvettes.

We've already seen corvette landing pads implemented at freighters though. Surely if we get something, it would be placable versions of those.

[terse kestrel]

This. If I'm landing my Corvette I hit the wrong button

[wraith quiver]

man thank goodness for the ship transfer bot

because now if i make another vette that has better adjacent slots, i can just copy tatsu over

[uncut tundra]

the whole atmosphere is my landing pad

[uncut tundra]

freighter's corvette landing pads are holographic

how would that work

[uncut tundra]

can u have multiple corvettes?

[wraith quiver]

yes

[uncut tundra]

what happens if u have 3 corvettes and land on a feighter

[terse kestrel]

Up to 12 as long as you don't have any dealerships in your ship summoning pool

[uncut tundra]

12 corvettes?

[terse kestrel]

You don't actually see your other Corvettes when you land like you do your regular ships. In fact when you leave your Corvette and go into your freighter your Corvette despawns.

[uncut tundra]

crazy

[terse kestrel]

Which is why you can't see it from your freighter no matter where you are

[hardy oracle]

You'd place down a special corvette teleporter just like the one on freighters somewhere. The hologram pad would show up in the sky above it.

[uncut tundra]

that would be cool

[terse kestrel]

They wouldn't do that. Whatever they create they have to make sure we can't somehow find a way to attach it to our Corvettes.

I guarantee you if people could put a Corvette summoning station on another Corvette so they could summon a Corvette while flying a Corvette they will do it

[uncut tundra]

i want to explain a process about certain ways of docking ships and frigates

[tawny helm]

is that a fucking type 59

[uncut tundra]

i feel like u could make a hierachy

[terse kestrel]

You'd see people with a Corvette and a summoning station spawning another Corvette with another summoning station. Resulting in somebody's summoning all 12 of their Corvettes at once

Imagine that landing in the anomaly 😂

[uncut tundra]

ships inside corvettes, ur corvette and lets say ur friends corvette on a freighter then if there was someway to like dock freighters on space stations in a special are would be really cool

[uncut tundra]

i dont understand

is this some sort of complicated feedback loop?

[tawny helm]

zarkan just gave me an idea and its not a good one

[uncut tundra]

well bonk ur head and forget abt it

[tawny helm]

no, i will make a space B52 BUFF with hyperdrives

[uncut tundra]

whats a space B52

[tawny helm]

b52 bomber plane but retrofitted with hyperdrive modules duh

[uncut tundra]

also when will hello games add the ability to own space stations

Everyone wants it and theres no fricking way they havent seen it, considered it, and said it will never happen

[uncut tundra]

:I

[hardy oracle]

The teleporter inside freighters have no such function, why would they add one specifically if that's what they want to avoid?

[tawny helm]

on 2nd thought

that shit sounds extremely complicated, i wont do it

[uncut tundra]

how would u even bomb?

[tawny helm]

idfk

gek guided missiles ig

[uncut tundra]

"Gek Guided Missile" is insane

and i think its a war crime

[abstract crow]

Gek "volunteers" wearing white headbands with the Rising Sun on them.

[tawny helm]

geks are the only creatures that fit inside a missile

[uncut tundra]

ye but korvax are the missile

just set them to self destruct

[tawny helm]

no, they are the electronics

[uncut tundra]

gek inside korvax

the V'keen launch them

[tawny helm]

yes

and atlas is the computing system for aiming and trackign

[uncut tundra]

what abt the autophage

wait

we can make our own ships

we can make out own corvettes

when can we make our own freighters

and we will probably be able to own space stations

[tawny helm]

galactic wars over systems? HELL YEA!!!

[uncut tundra]

so at some point, we will be able to create out own space stations (like replacing the current one or adding one to an outlaw system (repairing it basically) or adding one to a system without a station

[compact jackal]

My latest build: "Scout Squad Ultra"

Made using the Aeron wing trick, but i learned if you place parts right you can delete the wings after and they stay linked. Maxed out on all thruster, shield generators, warp/engine generators, landers and Phase Beams.

[uncut tundra]

how do u do the aeron wing trick

[compact jackal]

Aeron wings have MASSIVE hit boxes way outside their model

so you cna use them to link across empty space

[uncut tundra]

oh nice

[uncut tundra]

how do u make them face forward

ive tried but i havent been able too

what do you mean? They default face that way?

[uncut tundra]

uhm

not for me

also how did u get the red back rolour pallette

[compact jackal]

like this?

[uncut tundra]

yh

[compact jackal]

press G on corvette screen and pick the color group, then select the paint variant?

[uncut tundra]

oh ok

[uncut tundra]

yk the aeron wings thing

wheres the red and black

[compact jackal]

aeron wings always have a black basecoat, i used the black and white, top row #5

then pick one of the 4 orb pallet samples

[uncut tundra]

oh k

so what abt the red parts

[compact jackal]

those wings always have a red glow

[uncut tundra]

what wings

[compact jackal]

The Aeron parts?

[uncut tundra]

yh

im so lost on corvette building still

[uncut tundra]

i have never seen that part before

[compact jackal]

its from an expedition

[uncut tundra]

oh ok

i havent done the expedition yet

[compact jackal]

but ive only been playing for 2 weeks lol, i just used the "NoMansApp" website to get the expedition cosmetics i liked for free

[uncut tundra]

its not long till the redux tho

NoMansApp?

[compact jackal]

https://nomansapp.com/ takes a bit of setup

[uncut tundra]

shouls i show u what ive built so far

[compact jackal]

sure

[uncut tundra]

Sorry if its a bit bright

thats not my finished one

[terse kestrel]

*free means subscribing to the Patreon of the site operators

[compact jackal]

did you connect via the bitbyte cables?

[terse kestrel]

You do get a few free chances per month.

[uncut tundra]

i have a 3rd drone i forgot to take a pic of that

[uncut tundra]

yup

[compact jackal]

yeah

[terse kestrel]

But there's a lot of stuff locked behind that patreon paywall on that site

[compact jackal]

honestly, 15$ one-off to get every expedition cosmetic 100% worth it

[terse kestrel]

They're literally profiting off Hello games intellectual property. It's like if modders were charging for their mods

[upper kelp]

Jealous of your corvettes man! My looks like it’s just been slapped together on hopes and dreams 😂

[uncut tundra]

i still need to figure out how to turn on multiplayer to use the bot

[compact jackal]

i have spent hours learning this stuff, and I am STILL trash 😛

i dont know how the rotation tricks work

[terse kestrel]

You're talking about paying a third party who has no connection to the developers for content they did not create.....

In a game from one of the most generous developers to ever exist who don't charge us for anything past the initial purchase

[uncut tundra]

my first one looked like that

i got help from ppl like zarkan, Zen anyo etc

then it looked way better over today

[terse kestrel]

I mean if HG was greedy and that service bot was a way to get around that greed I'd get it.

[upper kelp]

It’s still a class c at the moment aswell😅

[uncut tundra]

what is the rotation trick?

[compact jackal]

I paid for the game, and its an ostensibly single-player experience with a multiplayer coat of paint with no competitive functions. Hello games loses nothing since they don't profit off cosmetics in the first place

[uncut tundra]

not bad

but u dont need the shield gen

and u can make it bigger

[upper kelp]

I don’t need a shield gen?😭

[compact jackal]

IF they had paid DLC or content, then there'd be a much stronger argument against 3rd party payments

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

That's all the videos you need for the rotation, offsetting another tricks

[compact jackal]

using certain windows you cna make round ship parts, its too much effort for me to do

[south dagger]

is there a way to moove everything down? i accedetly build too high and cant place my landing gear now...

[compact jackal]

The only glitch i use is the Aeron wings ridiculous hit box

[compact jackal]

THERE SHOULD BE. Holy shit yeah

[terse kestrel]

That service bot exists only because HG is so generous. But you know if somebody was doing this with a bethesda, Nintendo or EA game they would get shut down.

I'm not saying the site shouldn't exist

I'm saying they shouldn't be profiting off of it

[compact jackal]

i spent HOURS building a klingon bird of prey with offset, and I was ONE cube too far off center and had to restart

[upper kelp]

Does the discussion help out with technology space? I’ve put in all the S class stuff and skipped out on the rest. But I don’t have emeril in the game at all yet or not at that point 😭😂

[south dagger]

😬

[compact jackal]

Profiting? Yeah I can agree. Covering server/operational expenses in a break even i'd be cool with

My first corvette i made

[compact jackal]

for me its ALWAYS one little shield generator hiding inside a wing piece that suddenly wont connect

I like it bit she fills SO MUCH screen in 3rd person lol

she chonk

[south dagger]

Klingons ship from star trek?

[compact jackal]

Bird of Prey aye

Also

[south dagger]

how did u get this so dense lol

[terse kestrel]

You should post a picture of your bird of prey with a picture of empty space next to it on Reddit. Tell them you found out how to cloak your bird of prey.

And never respond to that post again 😂

[south dagger]

haha fr

[terse kestrel]

I guarantee you questions chat here would instantly see numerous people asking how to cloak a Corvette

Poor bk 😭

[compact jackal]

built a frame out of connector cubes, filled the entire with all the guns and engine parts, then replaced the cubes with cowlings

[compact jackal]

shes hollow inside

[south dagger]

i see

nice

[compact jackal]

the 100 part limit REALLY shrank it. Borg Cube one was MASSIVE

I like having my ships match my character

beep boop

[blissful cedar]

Saw some people making star destroyers in nms recently lol

[upper kelp]

I’m trying to get the parts to make the ship from final space 😭

[blissful cedar]

Im playing on creative so That’s not really a problem for me

[solid sage]

Well Fix my Star Citizen Crusader C2 Hercules Starlifter Corvette wish build limit be little more but here's what improvement i did what u think of this

[blissful cedar]

İ’m just not couraged enough to go on survival

[compact jackal]

just build in creative IMO, its almost entirely cosmetic outside of guns and engines, and thsoe you dont need many so you could just pruchase those then do assmebly/design in Creative

BUT maneuverability apparently IS affected by symmetry, the more assymetrical the worse your handling

[solid sage]

U can if u go into Difficult settings of how u want to play in survival tho

[compact jackal]

Also, something most people dont realize when building corvettes: Multiple guns are additive not multiplicative EXCEPT PHASE BEAMS

Phase Beams do damage of your "Damage Potential" TIMES the number of physical beams up to 4 placements

[solid sage]

How many guns u got working me have one Corvette using 6 guns working

[compact jackal]

since otehr guns fore in sequence and not all at once the damage is the same per shot, but phas ebeams fire all at once, so the damage is concurrent

My corevettes always have 4 phase beam placements on them for max damage, its ridiculous

take that 4952 and then multiple by EACH phase beam emitter you stick on the corvette, up to 4 before it stops adding

[solid sage]

Im using infra knife insane high dmg over 200k+

[compact jackal]

mind you this is a ship with ONLY the class upgrades, I havent added any wepaon addons yet

so that numbers is going to skyrocket

[upper kelp]

Will creative affect my campaign or achievements? (I know sad)😂 How do I upgrade its class too?

[blissful cedar]

İdk, i just cant think of this game without absolute freedom and unlimited resources, but that really takes away the challenge in the game

[compact jackal]

No. not to my knowledge, and you upgrade ships at the space station console where you salvage ships

[solid sage]

U dnt have to u can set sum settings as u go.

[compact jackal]

I upgraded one ship to max first, then i said screw it and my later ships just get free upgrades in creative

[upper kelp]

Ahh right okay! I just don’t want to be driving in a giant box at the moment 😂 Thank you!

[compact jackal]

yeah i like sleeker ships too

[upper kelp]

If I change it too creative will all parts be unlocked or just stuff I found?

[compact jackal]

I found this little dude, but the efficiency of corvettes being able to hover is just so good i cant give it up

[compact jackal]

everything except expedition cosmetics you dont have

[solid sage]

Funny how im enjoying messing around with corvette build that been playing nms for 2 months straight.

[upper kelp]

I just learnt about expeditions today 🤦 i thought they were main campaign stuff you unlocked along the way

[south dagger]

question, can i only build 1 corvette at a time? i got 2 rn. a new one and my first one. can i save a 3rd one? or do i have to destroy my 2nd one. cuz i cant remove the First one

[compact jackal]

you cna have as many corvettes as you have active ship slots

so put old ships into freighter storage to make room

[south dagger]

mh i got some useless one ill just make parts out of them

thanks for the help tho lol

[solid sage]

Only normal ships cant do it with Corvette unless has change it. I try putting Corvette in freighter storage wont let me

[solar hill]

if you make corvettes with a bajillon thrusters and a very cool inside I respect you

[terse kestrel]

Yeah you can have up to 12 as long as there's no legacy ships in your summoning pool.

[south dagger]

how can i remove interior i missplaced?

[solid sage]

Ah

[compact jackal]

PC, press "C" on the interior crafting window then select th piece to change

[south dagger]

thankssss

[devout spindle]

i built a corvette last week and went to edit it but immediately got the "All modules must be attached" without doing anything, deleted everything and it stayed until the last piece was gone. anyone know how to fix this? i've spent hours on both the exterior and interior and it's in survival so i can't get more materials as easy.

[south dagger]

rate the first person

[south dagger]

thanks

[compact jackal]

It works

nothing too blocked, clean sight lines

[upper kelp]

Is it “Crafting and items settings” to set to free?

[compact jackal]

yeah

or just change everything at the top using the "Creative" setting

tyhen back to normal when youre done

[upper kelp]

You my friend have become my hero

[compact jackal]

the fact this game is non-competitive multiplayer means fuck it go ham, make cool shit for free

the moment they make a leaderboard, then creative will need to be changes :/

[blissful cedar]

İ dont think they will ever do that

[compact jackal]

I hope they don't

[south dagger]

i love this one, the back is clean aswell

[upper kelp]

It still wants to charge me for upgrade class?

[compact jackal]

yeha but it wont

just a display bug

[compact jackal]

also dont forget that ship parts have adjacency bonuses, so when your done, put what you want in supercharged slots, then stack around them

the more that touch each other, the bigger your bonus

[south dagger]

im gonna m,ake mine s rank now, rip my nanites

[compact jackal]

in creative mode its free

still shows cost but does not take any currencies

[south dagger]

im playing the story rn

[compact jackal]

so? Turn on creative, build a ship, S class it, then go back to normal 😛

[velvet ruin]

good lord

it better have phase beams on the front >:)

[south dagger]

seems like cheating to me. lol. i play the hard way for myself.

[upper kelp]

It seems I still only have basic modules 😭

[compact jackal]

I get it, thats why i didnt do creative until i had my first S class

[south dagger]

the most blocks are decorative no?

[short fractal]

My enterprise coming along, working my way down

[compact jackal]

doing that agve me every cosmetic for my corvettes except for aeron which you have to unlock

[upper kelp]

I see them all now never mind 😭😂

[south dagger]

someone build a venator btw

[short fractal]

Big ol round bridge to decorate

[south dagger]

looking good

[upper kelp]

I really want to build this

[short fractal]

@south daggerThx!

[compact jackal]

See, once you start stepping outside the game to Blender etc for making ships, thats where i draw the line

[south dagger]

this game is so addicting, got it yesterday im 27 hrs in

[compact jackal]

100% doable in vanilla

[short fractal]

@compact jackalYou dont need to draw the line, no mans sky basebuilder app does it for you

[compact jackal]

-.-

[upper kelp]

Just switched to creative now 😭

[short fractal]

but really it wont auto complete anything and just works with the parts in game, just makes it easier to make rings that are doable by hand but would take 10 hours

[south dagger]

still vanilla, no bugs no mods etc

[compact jackal]

I just think stepping outside of the in-game tools takes something away from the game.

[south dagger]

are offgrid tecs considered bugs?

[compact jackal]

you mean offsets?

[south dagger]

ye

[compact jackal]

kind of. Its clear the devs didnt intend for roatating peices that way, but if they dont change it its tacitly permitted

[south dagger]

i see

[compact jackal]

same for the aeron wing trick i use

[south dagger]

dont know that one

[south dagger]

thats.. cool

[compact jackal]

Aeron wings have gigantic hit boxes outside their model, you can connect parts over empty space

[south dagger]

intresting

[compact jackal]

my current favorite build

[south dagger]

laser of death ahh build

[short fractal]

I was the tie bomber guy from last week but expanded my goals.

[compact jackal]

i used aeron wings, then got the spacing right and they stayed connected after i deleted the wings

[south dagger]

nice

i might use that in the future

[compact jackal]

oh really is, i can annihilate any ship in under 1 second

Phase Beams on corvettes are utterly broken

[south dagger]

yeah, i noticed that today

[compact jackal]

its because other guns all fire in sequence, so no matter how many photon cans its still one shot at a time

Phase beams fire all at once, so the damage is PER beam, not per shot

so 5203 DPS x each beam up to (I believe) 4 emplacements

and each emplacement has 2 beams, so x8

so befori even get any upgrade parts for Phase Beam, i do 41,624 DPS

[south dagger]

damage potential is not right then lol

[compact jackal]

the math is broken

damage potential is based on the default photon cannon every corvette has (is what ive been told)

since that cannot be removed

[south dagger]

mine is okey i guess

[south dagger]

i need to rearrange the slots

[compact jackal]

Ah, German

the sexiest language for swearing

[south dagger]

oh

if u think so lol

[south dagger]

could be a droid from starwars

[compact jackal]

dude german makes everything sound aggressive. When i lived in Ger/Den the differences between them made me laugh

[south dagger]

i saw a guy with a glowing jellyfish spaceship

[compact jackal]

Im grinding towards unlocking all the autphage stuff in story

[south dagger]

grrrrrrrrrrr

[compact jackal]

yeah the Living Ships are cool, thats a later story thing

[south dagger]

i see

im not that far

i just got the game lol

[compact jackal]

me neither but some guy gave me a dozen ship eggs so i have some now

and there sone from the expeditions you cna get using the NoMansApp

[south dagger]

i havent even looked at expeditions yet

[compact jackal]

(altho at that point you can just build a perfect custom ship)

[south dagger]

i saw a ship today with trees all over it

was weird

[compact jackal]

yeha people do wacky shit

[south dagger]

skyblock ship

[terse kestrel]

When it comes down to it decorations carry a much lighter load for you and other players when loading them in. So you can make Corvettes with small Corvette part numbers with a ton of decorations

That Corvette is only about 30 pieces. The rest is just decoration

[south dagger]

thats how the Venator was made

[compact jackal]

Phase Beams on Corvettes make mining hilarious

now what colors do i use

im clueless when it comes to paint

[compact jackal]

each part can be colored independently, so i suggets choosing a base color scheme, make it all over, then color accents as needed

wy havent they made a mining laser for corvettes yet?

[terse kestrel]

Because the phase beam exists. You can also get out of your ship in the middle of space and mine many of the asteroids with your mining laser

Not really practical or time efficient as far as resource acquisition. But still fun nonetheless

[south dagger]

black with some white

u can walk in the entire thing btw

finished from the outside

[terse kestrel]

Also in that list of tutorial videos there's a way to use freighter and Planet base color palettes on your corvette. That's worth checking out as well. It's super simple to do

[south dagger]

ill check that out for my next corbette for sure

[terse kestrel]

You can get hot pink and bright purple Corvettes that way 👀

[upper kelp]

How did you get your hyperdrive range up?

[compact jackal]

Each “version” of the reactor can stack 3x in corvettes @upper kelp

So do 3 of each + starship add ons + adjacency bonuses

[hardy oracle]

You can get around 3k range if you're willing to give up enough tech slots for it

[terse kestrel]

You can also stack reactors on top of each other by using rotational tricks. Maximizing power and saving space

The bottom of this one you can see the zenith warp reactor sticking out. But there are actually three in that exact same spot.

One set forward, one set backwards and the other set at 90° rotation.

On the top you can see all three Medusa reactors. And instead of them taking up six spaces end to end they are only taking up three. Because they are meshed halfway into each other using offsets and rotation

[compact jackal]

I stuck extra reactors inside my drone buddies

[upper kelp]

So much to learn! But this is fun 🤩

Thank you for all for the help!

[solemn halo]

Lookin good so far

should try a miranda class after this if you get interested in doing more

[junior schooner]

is it possible to acquire aeron parts from other players (too far for me to reach the expedition now)

[somber apex]

“You broke your little ship…”

[terse kestrel]

#nms-lfg-or-trades yeah just ask there and see if someone can come off some.

Remember you only need one of each part. And then you can turn on free crafting and build as many as you want. They act like blueprints that way as long as they're in your inventory. Plenty of people who missed the expedition have been doing that.

[junior schooner]

oh really? i never thought that i only need 1

Yeah as long as that one stays in your inventory it won't be used under free crafting. Of not free crafting as soon as you use it it will come out of your inventory and you will have to replace it to build more

[junior schooner]

alr, thanks alot for the information

just need a few to create a better looking piece of hot trash i created

what i am using is just a big flying van

[eternal kettle]

Yoo am try to build a corvette but idk how to do it any tips?

[chrome quartz]

make smaller ones to start, and either use a creative save or switch them on your main save to get an understanding of how to make them w/o being limited by how much you currently carry

[terse kestrel]

To build your first Corvette you need cockpit, hab/walkway, one reactor, one weapon, access Bay and landing gear. So you can either purchase these parts at the terminal to get your first one going or hunt for them on planets with salvage scrap.

Once you have your first basic Corvette it's super easy to farm parts. Since your Corvette can hover while you are out of the pilot seat you can scan for salvage scrap, fly to it, collect it by shooting it from the air and then scan for your next one.

[pseudo charm]

very nice! but. hows the lag?

[pseudo charm]

Mitey flies a mini Voyager 🙂

[lucid raptor]

bro this ship creator looks dope i gotta get this game

[terse kestrel]

Well don't let people fool you. It's not about spaceships. No man's sky is mostly a fishing game 👀

(yes that's a spaceship)

[lucid raptor]

how did u even make that

[terse kestrel]

A lot easier than you think. Especially with a lot of the tips and tricks people provide here

[lucid raptor]

it looks awesome

once i get it im gonna pour hours into the ship builder lmao

[lucid raptor]

is the decorations counted in the building limit thing?

[terse kestrel]

No. And that's how a lot of people make their much bigger corvettes. Upsized decorative parts.

A lot easier to load and less problems with lag for people around you that way

[lucid raptor]

yeah I saw this amazing star wars star destroyer that looked dope

[lucid raptor]

that makes sense

[lucid raptor]

can you walk around on the deck of your ship in space

thats so coooool

I gotta get this gameeee

[pseudo charm]

even better sir. you can space walk. park next to someone else's ship and jet pack TO theirs

[lucid raptor]

THATS SO COOOOOL

[pseudo charm]

coolest moment was looking out the window and watching someone else on their ship through THEIR window

[lucid raptor]

THAT LOOKS SO GOOD

[lucid raptor]

thats sick

[pseudo charm]

Zarkan is showcasing the autopilot feature. so you can walk around while your ship flies to the destination you tell it to

[terse kestrel]

That was after about 140 hours of gameplay. And I even neglected the main story until about 100 hours. So won't take forever of grinding for you to get to that point

[lucid raptor]

so you can do other stuff inside the ship like craft stuff or smth while the ship goes to somewhere

[pseudo charm]

my god. the game is on SALE right now in Steam. 23 bucks

[lucid raptor]

thats dope

Yeah IKKKK

but i gotta wait till christmas lol

[pseudo charm]

thats down from the 60 that it normally is. and is worth it 🙂

[lucid raptor]

So ive been watching so many videos and stuff on the game

[pseudo charm]

soon you will be a part of the universe.. then you will be sorry 🙂

[lucid raptor]

sorry in what way lol

[pseudo charm]

you won't be able to sleep. you must no man's sky! 🙂

[lucid raptor]

I MUST FLY SHIP

🔥 🔥 🔥

[pseudo charm]

Fly. Mine. Build. Fish. Fight Pirates. Run from wild animals. Cook.

Find a frigate, build a crew. Send em on missions.

[lucid raptor]

I saw that you can get your own fleet which is sick

[lucid raptor]

yeah that

[pseudo charm]

oh and the storyline.

[lucid raptor]

is the storyline good

[pseudo charm]

Mitey will not spoil but it will leave you with your jaw dropping 🙂

[lucid raptor]

ooooo snazzy

I havent looked at spoilers or anything only ship and base builds

[long pawn]

I like it!

[silent siren]

Are there any (safe) techiques for putting base parts on a corvette? (not just deocrations, but also the functional pieces)? (Or Freighter parts?)

[sudden torrent]

milano from gradians of the galaxy (i saw a yt tutorial)

[lucid raptor]

I just bought it to play tmrw

im hyped

[uncut tundra]

hey im back

[uncut tundra]

i love gradians of the galaxy

thats the mathematics parody of guardians of the galaxy

right?

im thinkings of making another corvette

now ik how to use 180 and 90 degree building

[uncut tundra]

Blocky1616 u wanted to show the burger corvette?

[sudden torrent]

mathematics parody?

[uncut tundra]

ye

gradians of the galaxy

gradian is a mathematical term

[sudden torrent]

oh

there is like 2 hr more advance guide i gotta complete someday

it will look better

so much work

[weak rune]

Question out to the builders here. I have seen a fair amount of discussion around maneuverability but not so much on distance. I currently have 2 'vettes. The first i now consider a generalist build with warp out to 2.7k and maneuverability at 3.4k. I just upgraded a new 'vette to S and managed a better sc layout, although not the optimal T or L. I am considering building it out to be a distance 'vette and would like to know from those who have one already what they have it out to for warp range?

[hasty shale]

only sublight amplifier boosts pulse engine travel speed cc @balmy cedar

[inland narwhal]

👀

[hardy oracle]

I've only been able to get up to 3k without using supercharge slots on it, but that's still a pretty considerable distance. There's probably no way for any starship, no matter how optimized, to beat freighters when it comes to long distance travel. Why not just land on your freighter and use it instead? Specialize your corvette for more practical things.

[weak rune]

Well considering I have only used 1 sc slots and gotten 2.7k. I figure with all 4 sc slots in use by warp, and 3 closely grouped, I can likely best my Dread's 5k. Get it out to 7k and who needs black holes.

[hardy oracle]

I doubt even 4 supercharged slots will get it past 4k. Probably not even past 3.5k. But don't take my word for it, you should give it a try! 🙂

[tulip jetty]

how are yall getting new modules, the ones you can buy are so ahh

[hardy oracle]

What kind of modules are you looking for?

Corvette stats can be confusing sometimes. The only thing I did between these two screenshots was to land on a space station and change the paintjob on some pieces, and that gave me a whole lot more manoeuvrability!

[tulip jetty]

idk 💀 smth that looks good

[terse kestrel]

Were you using flight boost when you took that first picture? Like when you cycle between weapon boost, flight boost, shield boost and balanced.

It will increase your maneuverability stat. Then when you land, get out and start flying again it resets those boosts to balanced. Lowering your maneuverability

[hardy oracle]

No, actually both of them were taken on the space station. I just took off and then landed again, changed colors and took a new screenshot. I did also remove and re-add my ship trails to check with and without them, but I did not change the trails.

So both of those screenshots were taken on balanced mode, to clarify

[hardy oracle]

Oh, in that case check the pins. There's a list of how you can get more ship parts there. Personally I very much prefer blasting the surface of salvage worlds with a corvette to get my parts. But the best approach is the one you have the most fun with.

Reloading the game still give me the higher stats, so I guess having the ship less turtle-colored makes it faster.

[remote trench]

Hi everyone, Im new to the game. Is rolling for 4 supercharged note adjacent really important to for a corvette or am I just worrying too much?

[terse kestrel]

Next time you test this record the individual maneuverability statistic of each one of your boosters.

If that changes it will confirm that it's recalculating our booster maneuverability when we go back into the build menu. This could be helpful in attempting to reroll your best stats over and over.

If maneuverability on your boosters do not change then it will help confirm what people have been questioning about the starship trails. That they are not actually affecting any of our stats until we go back into the builder and then back out.

[uncut tundra]

im bacl

and i made a second corvette

[terse kestrel]

Pure Min/Maxing number chasing perfection

[hardy oracle]

Personally I prefer 3 clumped together for manoeuvrability and a single supercharged slot elsewhere for my weapon. It really does make a big difference though, I do think it's worth putting some effort into.

[terse kestrel]

Yes properly set up supercharged slots do make a difference. But it's not a broad enough difference to freak out over.

[hardy oracle]

It is also worth noting that you always get 4 supercharged slots, what you lose out on when they aren't clumped is just specialization. You'll just be forced into making a more all-rounder ship

[remote trench]

so i might just leave it for the endgame and be fine with my preferred built corvette right? I got lucky finding rare artifact that sold for 1billion credits so im wasting alot here

[terse kestrel]

I rolled Corvettes until I got the supercharged slot configuration of

XX
X
X

And I stuck with it. It's not perfection but it's good enough and I duped that Corvette in every expedition since. Giving me a good SC setup on any Corvette I build

[terse kestrel]

Once you get a good SC setup that you like there's no shame duping that in expeditions. It's too time consuming and costly to keep trying over and over

[hardy oracle]

What you -really- want to avoid are supercharged corner slots, those are almost worthless

[terse kestrel]

True

[hardy oracle]

I do really like my supercharged slot configuration, but everything is fine as long as it isn't in a corner

[remote trench]

thank you, i will try out some more rolls to get clustered supercharged node

[remote trench]

you can dupe that?

Does that mean I can dup that corvette and have the same SC spot?

Or am I getting it wrong

[warm breach]

yep

you can dupe as many as you want when finishing an expedition

[terse kestrel]

Yes.

Copy your Corvette into expedition like every other time. But during the expedition change its name and one part on it. Add or remove any random thing

The system now regards this as a completely different corvette.

So as long as you have space in your summoning pool of your main save you can now copy that "new" Corvette to your main character at the end of the expedition.

Then go to a Corvette build terminal again. Change its name and change another part on it. Now it's another "new" Corvette.

And guess what? You can go claim a copy of your Corvette again in the expedition terminal. Because that Corvette is technically no longer in your summoning pool

Just make sure you're not maxed out on 12 Corvettes when you do this. Or it will start deleting some to make room

This last expedition I was able to claim my Corvette 4 times. And each time I would change its name in one part allowing me to claim another

[hardy oracle]

You can actually reroll supercharged slots for free. Make a save, then create your corvette and upgrade it to reveal the slots. If the slots aren't to your liking just reload the savegame and repeat. Still takes a lot of time though.

[remote trench]

Haha thanks, I just bought and spent 10hrs in the game. Maybe I will save this endgame mechanics for later

[terse kestrel]

Really once you have your first Corvette that you are comfortable with the SC slots you can do this. And with expedition reduxes happening you have plenty of opportunities over the next month to make copies

[remote trench]

Thank you for giving such amazing insights into the game

[hardy oracle]

There's always an expedition active, I think? If not this one then the next one. So I don't think you need to stress out about doing it in time.

[terse kestrel]

Expeditions do have breaks in between them when they're not doing their Redux cycles

[hardy oracle]

Maybe I always just happen to log on at the right times then 🙂

[terse kestrel]

But after you've done it that claim ship option is opened until they launch another

Till they reset the terminal that is

zarkan

im getting help trying to get multiplayer working

when i hopefully do get it working do u want to play a casual save :3

[tulip jetty]

alr thanks

[warm breach]

how the fuck do i remove this thing

[uncut tundra]

uhh delete it?

[warm breach]

what if its in the ground

[uncut tundra]

ok

i have a step by step guide

but first

where is ur access port

at the back?

or access bay wtv

[warm breach]

dont worry i installed a mod that makes me be able to edit parts anywhere

[uncut tundra]

oh

then use that

[warm breach]

the mod didnt work ...

[warm breach]

ok what was your step by step guide?

[abstract crow]

Use the base builder app

[warm breach]

theres like 50 steps for downloading it

[abstract crow]

No there isn't, lol. If I can download and use it anyone can.

I'm barely competent when it comes to PC stuff.

[warm breach]

i have to download the mod first, then i have to download 4 more mods for it, then i have to download 2 apps for each mod

[abstract crow]

I literally downloaded the app, downloaded goatfungus save editor, and follow the instructions.

[warm breach]

oh i only need 1 for it?

[abstract crow]

Goatfungus save editor so you can find and edit your JSON file, copy it into the app, do your edits, copy the new JSON from the app, paste into save editor. The app walks you through it pretty well.

[warm breach]

i dont have a save editor...

[abstract crow]

Then download one? Unless you don't trust it.

[warm breach]

its 1 fucking floor tile
