nms-corvette-discussion

[abstract crow]

I'm giving you a way to fix it. If you don't want a way, then why ask?

[warm vault]

Ever since the corvette update I've been unable to enter or even fly over another player's corvette without it disappearing and my character sometimes getting stuck inside the invisible walls. Does anyone else have this problem, or know of a fix? I've never used mods/cheats so I don't think there's anything wrong with my save file

[dire bone]

What is the easiest way for a new player to get a corvette? I'm pretty new, and maybe I should be working on something else first, but eventually I'd like to get one.

I think I missed the corvette expedition since I just started a couple of days ago.

I think there is a way to find modules for it in the open world, but not exactly sure how.

[swift mist]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

salvageable scrap is the best way to gather them

[compact jackal]

Turn on creative mode.

Build your dream machine.

Save it

Turn off Creative mode.

[dire bone]

Thanks @swift mist and @compact jackal . I usually get salvagable scrap from digging it up, but all the sites disappeared. Is there a limit per day?

Maybe I need to turn off multiplayer, idk,

[swift mist]

there's no daily limit

you might be digging the wrong thing up

[dire bone]

Oh I was digging up salvaged data and it disappeared.

[compact jackal]

Salvage scrap for corvettes has a yellow chevron icon

Salvaged data is entirely different item

[dire bone]

Ohhh ok thanks! I was wondering what those were for.

I think there are missions for salvaged scrap

[compact jackal]

I’m not sure if salvage scrap for corvettes appears before you build your first one by buying basic parts off the corvette computer.

[glass surge]

If you're looking for Salvageable scrap yes turn off multiplayer and find a planet or moon that has it, land, and see if resources says abundant in the analysis visor on planet for the best results

Salvageable scrap doesn't often re spawn if it does it might be weeks in my experience

[dire bone]

Nice! Do you need an analysis visor upgrade to find it?

[compact jackal]

Also, it is infinitely easier after you build your first basic corvette.

Get a basic box with wings built. Fly to scrap planet.

Get out of seat, visor scan, highlight scrap. Fly over, shoot the scrap, the aoe damage from default gun will go deep enough.

You never have to dig

[dire bone]

Perfect! Thanks @compact jackal

[compact jackal]

If you stop finding scrap, fly 20 seconds to another part of the planet.

[dire bone]

That's good to know that only certain planets have scrap. idk that.

[glass surge]

No the upgrade allows you to find Electromagnetic and other gas and mineral deposits

[dire bone]

Thanks @glass surge . I'll give it a try.

[terse kestrel]

Suggest only farming exclusive loot on small moons. The tight geography forces loot points together. Making it very rare not to see multiple loot points in the visor at once.

[compact jackal]

Yep yep

[dire bone]

Great tips, thanks @terse kestrel !

[uncut tundra]

blud

i was eating

[south dagger]

i need wings somehow#

[fair pilot]

Keep this way or move the previous backiteration?

Previous iteration - 2 slopes and light tables between

[south dagger]

this

[south dagger]

building stuff with deco is horrible wtf

[swift mist]

yeah the textures don't match

[south dagger]

idk man, and i cant mirror it eather. il dump that corvette

[glass surge]

The Arcadia wings are pretty big and cover an entire Hab side; you could use that at a starting point to build out wings with other parts and using offset glitches. we have pinned videos offset glitches for that in this channel

[south dagger]

ill try that, thx

[swift mist]

ive had to use the slope pieces to make wings, I've also seen others use the "rim" pieces to make parts of a wing

[fair pilot]

Damn game takes widebodies and makes sure that they're in the tech slots, not the titans. Seems I can't keep it that way 😐

[random zinc]

widebodies?

I want to light up the end of the engine cover. What are my options?

I mean the part called engine cover

[fair pilot]

good job, but this rather goes to #nms-showcase-corvettes

I didn’t see that channel my bad

[fair pilot]

It's fine!

[random zinc]

it's great that Gunter doesn't get annoyed at being ignored

[random zinc]

this thing

[south dagger]

insane Clonker

i want to build sth cool but i have no ideassss

[fair pilot]

I'd add 2 pill lights, but they'll hover non-attached visually.

So dunno, maybe something from the inside under the glass

or use BBA/blender

[gloomy pilot]

How did they make this ship in the Breach trailer? I cant find a way to do it and I can't use mods cause im on xbox

specifally talking about the sides

I can't get the firebox cowling to go sideways like that

[fair pilot]

It is not firebox on the side

It is engine cover rim

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

[gloomy pilot]

ah so im blind, preciate it

dont know why I didn't see that

thanks 🙏

[heady sigil]

this gotta be the most uncomfortable looking bed in existence lol

im liking how the rooms coming along tho

[thorny wasp]

this actually looks dope

[tepid arrow]

I fw this heavy

[terse kestrel]

Take off the engine cover and place pill lights along the hab right where the window connects to it. So you don't see them. Then replace your engine cover. That should illuminate through the end

Or you can use one of those lab lights. The oscillator. Remove the fuel cover and attach that light in a way where it barely pokes out the fuel cover when you replace it.

Can use like a tall box or something to mount the light on temporarily

[terse kestrel]

I would take that over the metal beds in county lockup 😂

[civic tendon]

What happens to a Corvette if you upgrade it fill its inventory with mods the modify the corvette giving it a ton of mod peices the overflow the technology slots?

[drowsy blaze]

I’ve got a newer character I’d like to get at least 1 of each base corvette part. So I can. Up my storage and finally build a ship

[terse kestrel]

This is a n easy way to unlock all slots for free. But you are still bound by the slot max of class level and 60 slot max tech slots of ships.

[civic tendon]

Yes I’m saying if you already are at the 60 max what happens

[terse kestrel]

Nothing. It won't add more slots

Fully capped at 60

[civic tendon]

I can help with that depending on your platform

[civic tendon]

I get that but with things dissapear?

[terse kestrel]

It's why people want 70 or 80 for corvette. Not enough slots as is and no way to unlock extra

[terse kestrel]

No. Nothing disappears but no new tech parts added on to the Corvette will go in tech slots .

Have to free up room for that. But once room is freed up they will show up in tech automatically

[civic tendon]

Will they work still?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah. They are still there. Just not in tech

[civic tendon]

Like I can make that happen quick for free

[civic tendon]

Neat

Noted

[drowsy blaze]

That would be awesome

[civic tendon]

You’re on PlayStation right?

[drowsy blaze]

Yes

[civic tendon]

[unique briar]

does anyone know why my corvette looks like this how do i access it (it's my first time building one)?

[abstract crow]

Your corvette died and came back as a spooky ghost.

[hoary agate]

Was stored as design for later

Resume editing and finalize the build

[abstract crow]

Or spooky ghost ship

[tepid arrow]

Would be cool to be given a Space Station if you managed to discover every planet and the majority of the things in each of them

[sudden torrent]

Not taking credits, I copied a yt tutorial, the advance one looks even better

[tawdry field]

thats sick

I made this one

[sudden torrent]

Omg yours so cooler

It has the nose thing right too

[random zinc]

I'm not sure if I prefer infraknife or cyclotron ballista for salvage hunting

[tawdry field]

nah yours is sick too

for the nose thing

you can do a diagonal glitch

and place one of those cargo box things

since habs arent yellow all around

look up a tutorial for it

[sudden torrent]

The advance tutorial has that, I will use it

[tawdry field]

yes I used a tutorial for the nose

I'll try and find it

[sudden torrent]

It's just fun flying this over some nice looking planet and jaming the playlist ; )

[sudden torrent]

I see

[tawdry field]

here

https://youtu.be/5XQE8251J_o?si=SNIbls8TcA6LJz7e

[hallow field]

how ?

[autumn obsidian]

If i finalize a new design, does it get rid of my old design?

what happens to the upgrades of my current corvette?

[hallow field]

anyone here whos good at building vehicles from scratch?

[frigid depot]

Why you wondering?

[hallow field]

i dont have the parts but im not good at building stuff and was wondering when i get all teh parts and what parts i would need to build a certain vehicle in game from one of my fave games

[frigid depot]

You get more parts by digging up salvageable scrap on planets, for what parts you need, we can’t really help you without seeing the ship, and even then it’s probably better to just get a few of each part and see if it’s enough

You could also turn on free crafting in the settings, that way you don’t have to find the parts, you can just start building

[hallow field]

the truck from star trucker and also maybe a trailer to go with it, or a 379 pete from american truck sim

i wouldn't even know where to start on the build

[sudden torrent]

yes his guide

[sudden torrent]

😭 what is this

[glass surge]

It's Star Fleets ship the USS Enterprise NCC-1701

[silent siren]

I have 12 thrusters on my ship, and only 10 light up. Is there a wayt o make the other 2 appear lit up (even if not functional), some way to apply an effect?

[glass surge]

Depending on what style of Thruster you use there is hard animation limit of 14 from what i've seen; going over that requires you to use mods which people in #nms-modding can help with

[cloud crypt]

i wish i was as creative as this guy

[silent siren]

I was wondering if tehre as an object that I can place in the dead thrusters to give the illusion of life?

[glass surge]

try looking at pill lights in base decoration or use the wonder projector but that means applying either option on the ground near your base or away from a space station so you can access the normal base build menu .

as a fyi there is also a hard light limit for Space stations so if you have too many lights on a corvette it will literally turn off station lights

[silent siren]

Thank you, i'll give those a try... maybe even overloading the power on a space station ^.^

[sudden torrent]

Oh I see, kinda looks funkey

[sudden torrent]

Do you even walk around 80% of your ship

[iron palm]

I'm really starting to like my second fishing boat corvette I made , it's slightly larger then the smaller first one ( really like that one as well ).

It might be the windows near the bow of the ship and the elevated tower with the cockpit and full 360 degrees viewing.

[remote crypt]

share

[iron palm]

I think I posted them somewhere in #nms-showcase-corvettes

Seems I only shared the second in the show case channel, the other one might be in here on a older message.

The first one

And the second one

[remote crypt]

Looks good

[patent zephyr]

Is this cool

[terse kestrel]

How so small?

[sudden torrent]

so cutie

[sudden torrent]

this is the scary big bro of that lil one

[sudden torrent]

pretty cool

[patent zephyr]

I'm just flying really high

I have 6 large enginess in the back.

I have an idea of making a flying building

[tepid arrow]

I wish there were more variants of the cockpits and entrances for corvettes

[abstract crow]

I wish there were doors first.

[ember plaza]

you can be

steal his design

and you will be

[fair pilot]

I moved engines 1 block back and added some details, is it looking ok now?
After & before

Somehow top looks worse for me, but I had to move the engines...

[main prawn]

how many units to make first corvette

[hardy oracle]

You can make them for free by gathering the salvage yourself, but if you're buying everything it's about 8 millions

[velvet ruin]

Peak wallpaper btw

[flat aurora]

Thanks, I wrote my own extension for GNOME, and the fish I found online. It's a placeholder for now. Soon I'll make something like penguins that you can interact with, and something like multiplayer between users. And yes, these are live wallpapers....

[velvet ruin]

oooo

[upper kelp]

Just wanted to say thank you for the other day with the help!

[terse kestrel]

@hidden pawn

If you're looking for large rooms in corvette there is a way to do it yourself. By basically making your Corvette an eggshell with a hollow center.

You can translate what's in the video to a long build or any shape you would want to make for your interior

[abstract crow]

Mmm... Open interior designs...

[terse kestrel]

I saw one person do it that was the equivalent of three habs wide and two long.

[terse kestrel]

Or you can do this and create a small City on your Star destroyer

[abstract crow]

Then there's the really skilled Blender builders who build 1:1 ships with realistic interiors

That Executor, for example.

[terse kestrel]

I have to question what's realistic of a spaceship......

I mean theoretically many of these craft would not be able to travel through space adequately. And coming close to a planet would be impossible by any basis of real world physics

[vivid remnant]

Finally finished the interior of my ship. No one else is gonna see it so posting here

[random zinc]

wow, lots of zero-g projectiles 🙂

I wish I knew how to make one of those videos

[terse kestrel]

What platform you on?

[random zinc]

gentoo

[terse kestrel]

If you got nivida you can use their built in recording app

[random zinc]

not in gentoo

at least I see no such app for it

thanks in no small amount to @terse kestrel I was able to get my bulky corvette to 3975 maneuverability with 3700 u/sec boost speed in space

the downside? the rainbow trail looks so cheesy

[terse kestrel]

Overrides all trails

[random zinc]

I know

my only other choice is red

because I use 6 trails

the only trails I find attractive are blue (yes, the original blue), yellow, and green

[hardy oracle]

That seems like an unnecessary number of trails, you can achieve full adjacency for Polo with just 2 trails, anything beyond that will have limited effect. Here's a screenshot of my tech inventory, maybe it'll help get higher numbers?

[random zinc]

I have trails around artemis to improve boost speed

[hardy oracle]

Are you sure he actually benefits from adjacency? I didn't see any improvements. Sure, the squares light up but what matters is results

[random zinc]

yes, I saw a 300u/sec improvement

[hardy oracle]

Maybe I hit some sort of cap at last then. I'm up to 4800

[random zinc]

I'm only at 3700

good enough for now

[hardy oracle]

But the stats have been a bit weird on me lately. I gained a whole bunch just from a repaint session which makes no sense to me

[random zinc]

racing stripes makes it faster

[hardy oracle]

It did!

[random zinc]

I see the same, but I don't like the other colors

[hardy oracle]

Did you know you can access more colors by painting a decor object (in corvette building mode) and then clicking the button to apply the color to everything? It'll spread those brighter colors onto the corvette parts too.

[random zinc]

my corvette is blue/yellow except for the weapons rack and number decals

[random zinc]

yes

I still prefer metallic blue/yellow

[terse kestrel]

The video for this trick and many others are in the pins of this channel. Got a list of glitches and build methods in there

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Should check them out if you haven't before

[random zinc]

I've also joined the small army that wishes you could remove the photon cannon entirely

I could use that extra slot to put in the infraknife three bullet thing

[hardy oracle]

Hopefully that'll be possible eventually. For now I just gave up and went with the photon cannon to save on tech slots. It's good enough to kill most things in less than 3 seconds anyway.

[random zinc]

infraknife is my preferred weapon for salvage hunting

and I'm going the phase beam route while it's still possible

[hardy oracle]

The cyclotron ballista is pretty great for salvage, because its blast is so big. But its' not like it makes a big difference. Most of the effort is going to the spots, not aiming and shooting. It can help with some salvage that ends up particularly deep though.

[random zinc]

no, the cyclotron ballista pisses me off when salvage hunting

it almost always misses

infraknife works way better for me

[hardy oracle]

That sounds more like the rocket launcher to me, are you confusing them?

For some reason rocket launcher projectiles just despawn when they hit trees

[random zinc]

nope, it says cyclotron ballista on the little screen

and it spirals out

and misses

[hardy oracle]

Anyway, doesn't matter much in the long run. All the weapons except the phase beam work well enough (for salvage)

[random zinc]

I've found the infraknife works a little better than the photon cannon

as in some cases where the photon cannon doesn't reach, the infraknife does

(I mean for buried salvage container)

[glass surge]

If the salvage container is under planet bedrock nothing will reach it

[random zinc]

yeah, sure, I know this

and even sometimes it's in an underground cavern, and still can't be shot from air

[glass surge]

oh yeah i've had that happen; the only way you can get any of those containers stuck in bedrock is if the center is out of bedrock even partially and you have a weapon on your MT like a neutron cvannon

-# ⠀
-# #nms-showcase-corvettes is where to show off your corvette without discussion »

[random zinc]

in any case, that's not what I'm citing here

I've done a lot of salvage hunting. It's one of my favorite time wasters

and there are definitely containers the photon cannon won't reach but the infraknife will

I can grab salvage in roughly 1/3 the time using the infraknife over the cyclotron ballista

and the cyclotron ballista tends to hit everything except the salvage container so I tend to clog my inventory with weird, non-salvage stuff more quickly

I'm tempted to drop a shield module so I can add that infraknife three bullet module as that significantly improves salvage aquisition time

[terse kestrel]

I just keep a base positron on my ship exclusively for aerial farming. 2 taps and there's nothing left to collect. Like the only thing it's good for and you don't need bonus tech for it

When I'm not farming I package it and store it on ship. Replace it with trail

[undone narwhal]

this is my first corvette build... can someone let me know why only two of these cosmetic engines are visually active?

[spare knoll]

Only so many of each type of animation can show up on a corvette. It's an intentional limit of the game. I think there's mods to increase it if you really want to and you're on pc

[undone narwhal]

ahhh fair enough thanks for the help

[dark juniper]

Keep in mind that the speedometer is massively incorrect (keeps visibly increasing past cap), and true max speed is reached easily with basic upgrades

It'd seem that their true speed doesn't exceed 260u/s, though I gotta retest with A-Class thrusters they'll either be the same speed or have some override to be slower or something

[terse kestrel]

Flavor text is the glue that binds NMS

[dark juniper]

number go up ofc, even fake numbers

[heavy sage]

Everyone loves big numbers.

[eternal dirge]

Can higher class corvette items be found in salvage? Or bought?

[dark juniper]

Most things don't have a "higher class" version of them, besides thrusters in which the huge ones are A-Class

the individual modules do not have variable class though

[eternal dirge]

Interesting I ask because I’m wanting to know if there’s a way to increase tech slot numbers

And if higher tier items can increase amount of tech slots

[dark juniper]

Oh, just add them at a Starship Outfitting Terminal like any other starship

[dark juniper]

This does not happen, no

not in anything to my knowledge

[eternal dirge]

Hmm maybe I could increase the ship size a little bit but I’m terrible at creativity

But also gives me the excuse to make another corvette

[civic tendon]

Why is only one of my rockhopper engines lighting up?

[civic tendon]

Very helpful can you perhaps give me a list of the items that do this so I can make all of my rockhopper engines light up

[spare knoll]

Honestly I don't have that information. I'm reasonably sure that weapons and engines have separate pools, so those shouldn't interfere. The one engine and the "wing" piece that have a little grill with fire on top will take up spaces from rockhopper fans, I can't remember if landing thrusters will as well. As for the aeron parts I have no idea at all. In any case you'll have to remove parts with effects on them to get any more to work

[civic tendon]

Do you know the number of peices in the rockhopper fan peice pool

[spare knoll]

'fraid not

[civic tendon]

Fair enough thank you for the help

Grok helped me immensely so the wings are there own limit it’s 4 it’s the first four you build no matter static or animated

Nope doesn’t matter what order there in the limits four sad

So if you want all four to be animate you only get four

I hope they fix this I’m fine with the limit just let me pick which are animated

[civic tendon]

Yo this should be helpful for you

[blazing olive]

Hey, I wonder if someone could give me some building suggestions.
My Corvette is functional and for all performance reasons pretty neat and well-fitted, the glasses give good visibility, and I really like the ambassador engine, specially the big ones. I also like the Ambassador cockpit, but it feels hard to make it look good on the outside and match with other pieces.

I want to make my build look more streamlined, and also bigger to accommodate more stuff and inside area, shield generators, more engines, maybe a 360º viewing room, while having a short path without stairs in the way from the landing area to the cockpit

[blazing olive]

Hmm, what paint did you use for that golden metallic finish?

[undone narwhal]

👍

[blazing olive]

Hmm, I was using a paint replacer mod that was hiding it '-'

[blazing olive]

Pretty corvette, btw

[undone narwhal]

thank you was completely by accident, just kept throwing things down and destroying haha

[blazing olive]

Well, it worked lol

[undone narwhal]

it worked

[undone narwhal]

🙏

[civic tendon]

Fuck yeah I’m happy for you

[undone narwhal]

mixed feelings glad it worked but doesnt look as good

[civic tendon]

Uhhh I have a few ideas for the ambassador cockpit personally i think it looks best at the front like it is or at the top hanging similar to a venator cockpit I guess for the bigger I like the front I recommend bulking up the back and adding more length

[civic tendon]

I understand you completely

I also wanted six on mine I was fine with two not working I just wanted to choose which ones

[undone narwhal]

yeh at least the option to make it symmetrical

[civic tendon]

I agree heavily

[undone narwhal]

now i have the 4 working im gonna replace the others and hope they stay working

[short fractal]

4000 flat panels

[wide ferry]

does the ceto class reactor have any adjacency bonus with any other part other than itself

this guy

[civic tendon]

They won’t in sorry they’ll activate randomly there is a chance the perfect ones light up but the 1 out of 100 times

[undone narwhal]

😕

[civic tendon]

Nope it’s just very good for shield the splice is like most 2 length blocks that aren’t cabs or connectors you can fairly easily fuse another reactor into its two long imprint

[civic tendon]

Sorry it saddens me too I already tried that

[blazing olive]

Venator-like would be bad, since I pilot at first person

[blazing olive]

Making it longer and making it a bit "spear-like" could work, though. Please share anything you come up with, I'll try to cook something on my end

[civic tendon]

Most of my cockpits are a bit like that lol

Also I might in a bit but I’m currently earning quicksilver

[steady pike]

What is the ideal corvette supercharge slots layout?

[frigid depot]

Depends on what you’re gonna supercharge

Answer is probably either square or T

[west frost]

omg I have so much to learn

[steady pike]

Noted

[wide ferry]

before and after, i feel pretty good

[sudden torrent]

dang

[sudden torrent]

W ship

[remote crypt]

What a tease - game showed both my rockhoppers working

Then I left and landed on a planet and one is out again

[fair pilot]

onlt reliable way is mod 🙁

[abstract crow]

You landed a little too hard and broke it.

[terse kestrel]

All 4 of my rockhoppers always work on my mini and I don't know what I did to make that happen.

Is it placement or total parts used that also affect it?

[remote crypt]

At a guess I'd say thruster count, but I don't know

[random zinc]

I've heard it's number of parts that light up: thrusters, landing gear, and parts like that

[terse kestrel]

Well it also has four thrusters so brings it up to a total of 8

[abstract crow]

Doing an alternate variant of my Eclipse Cruiser. Using a twin "bridge" design like on a Venator. I think it looks pretty neat. Might have to use that bridge on more designs.

[hoary galleon]

Got my next design

A corvette corvette

[peak sable]

How

This isn't a player

[blazing olive]

I find the Ambassador to be the best clean looking, interior-wise. No metal structure obfuscating your view. But outside it looks pretty ugly for most cases

[civic tendon]

Yes

[blazing olive]

Hmm, maybe some sections with different colors? To break some of the texture

[civic tendon]

What mod are you using for infinite build space

[blazing olive]

It'd be neat to fit a "viewing globe", like a 360º tower, but no idea how to not make it ugly AF

Also, I kinda dislike the internal stairs of corvettes

[civic tendon]

It’s a rare thing there’s a four wing limit to have them all work properly

[blazing olive]

This looks pretty neat. The glass panel in the back and all

[civic tendon]

I have a few ideas for that mostly it’s like two ships like a shotgun with a bit in the middle for full viewing instead of being side by side like normal it would be an under and over

Think of the cloud car in Star Wars but vertical not side by side

[blazing olive]

Hmm

Is it possible for two people build a corvette in the same station? Like same corvette, taking turns

[stone shadow]

Don't think so, corvettes are tied to player and anyone other than the owner can't edit them (unless I'm wrong, but this shouldn't be the case)

[elder iron]

The only thing other players can edit on a corvette is decorations, if the owners permissions allow for it

[elder iron]

@terse kestrel how do open doorway in corvette?

[peak sable]

I made a thunderhawk from 40k

[civic tendon]

That’s awesome show it off in nms-showcase-corvettes

Also stupid question but I don’t know can others access your corvette/base chests and take your items?

[terse kestrel]

SO I have scrolled back as far as I can and tried searching, I've followed Bjorkle's awesome video and been able to get some ok results: Has anyone been able find a consistent method to achieve 90 and 45 degree rotations about the y-axis and x-axis?

because I saw this mad lad in the Anomaly the other day... and just wow...

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Have you checked the pinned videos?

45° is a bit trickier. You either have to free place a window exactly or set up the circle build framework and build off that.

Window for speed. Framework for accuracy

[ancient wing]

I think you are referring to Z-axis

[terse kestrel]

Oh....yeah I was. Didn't see you specified different

Yes there's a couple here who do know how to do that. I believe iDerpy and Astroth

[ancient wing]

I can rotations on those axis, just nothing "clean"

[terse kestrel]

Both offline atm

When I see them I'll link them to your comments

[ancient wing]

Your kindness is appreciated!

I think I got a perfect x axis to 90, once.
This my best attempt and result (and practice ship)

[crisp rover]

Is the despawning of decor in corvettes a common issue or just occasional?

[terse kestrel]

Not normally. I've never had it happen unless I deleted something that was making contact with decor. That can cause it to delete whatever decor is touching it

[crisp rover]

Thanks!

[wide ferry]

is it possible to offset habs like this

[ancient wing]

yes, it's a two step process... the pinned video: "Offset Habs by half a space" shows how

in short you use a hull attachment to offset a half space, but that actually offsets 2 half steps, so you have to use a rockhopper propeller or fin module to reset its fore or aft position

[wide ferry]

i ended up just doing this
not entire sure if i like it or not

[ancient wing]

shifting by half steps is how you get overlaping pieces vertically or fore/aft as well

[wide ferry]

how could i conceivably overlap this peice here

[wide ferry]

nvm lol i just got rid of the engine covers

hmmmmmmm i dont know if i like the new versio n more
before and after

[ancient wing]

I personally do, but that's my preference

[rare epoch]

Personally I prefer the before

Looks more aerodynamic

[wide ferry]

i think i achieved a balance

[rare epoch]

Wow that’s a long ship

[wide ferry]

every time im unhappy with my ship i add one extra hab module

[rare epoch]

Mine is like 4 hab things😅

[rare epoch]

Does that not seem counter-intuitive

[wide ferry]

id love to make a wider vertical ship one day, decorating a long fuck ass hallway gets annoying

[rare epoch]

You can decorate the inside?

[wide ferry]

yeh

however i have 2 empty rooms and ive practically ran out of ideas on what to put inside of them

[ancient wing]

the worst way to discover you misplaced a shield Gen...

"HI!"

[turbid pecan]

Alright I’m sending it, I’m going to try and create Thanos’s Q-ship idk how but have infinite time

[random zinc]

does anything differentiate the various shield generators besides their looks?

[ancient wing]

there is a slight state difference, and the order you place them affects the stats

[random zinc]

sure, but the stats are random right?

do some of them randomize higher than others on average?

[delicate yoke]

oh my these atlas ships look so amazing

cant wait to get my hand on one

[silent siren]

Your 'storage bins'? They can 'access' it I think, but it shows their own inventory (not yours). There does not seem to be any way to for them to access any of your items (not 100% sure if hiding stuff in refineries or nutirtion things can be shared or not, but when I try to access them on other people's ships, I cannot). Also, can't steal a corvette 😛

[stone shadow]

No, they can't. You can also disable this for refiners in network settings

[knotty flicker]

Nice photo. Now build it in NMS 😃

[tame patio]

Was going to say the same.

[remote crypt]

@prisma spoke Doesn't look like a comparison pic for an NMS build, I'm removing it

Let's keep it to the topic, thanks

[daring dagger]

"We shall watch your career with great interest"

[prisma spoke]

Building a star destroyer atm

Or at least trying

[abstract crow]

I'm doing a small Star Destroyer/Corvette build. Well, small by my standards.

[prisma spoke]

I broke it...

whole game crashed as soon as I sat in the cockpit

guess imma get ready for work

[terse kestrel]

@glacial juniper

Saw your comment in questions. Try this with your stairs. Decorative barricades at an angel meshed into the handrails. Keeps you from falling off the sides and reduces the size of the hole at the top. Keeping you from falling through as much.

[glacial juniper]

Thanks, I guess this might help a bit, the stairs are still annoying though...

[weak rune]

My newest corvette. Still working on maximizing my stats, I have to open up the last row of tech. What I like about this build is its overall simplicity. There's only 4 pieces per side, 3 wings and one booster, yet because of their large footprint yet separate snap points the manage to meld together nicely to give an almost made look. Everything else is inline. 6 reactors, 2 shields, 3 photon cannon, 3 boosters, 2 habs, 2 walkways 1 cockpit.

[knotty flicker]

Conducting an experiment. Gonna see if I can build a small ship carrier. Here's the ship before it gets any base parts attached (not final design):

It's only just within the complexity limits lol

[weak rune]

Love to see a docking station on top there

[knotty flicker]

The hope is to fit four landing pads, with catwalks

[weak rune]

If you do post a pic of traders parked on one😆

[knotty flicker]

o7 Absolutely

[true salmon]

So... Custom ExoCraft when? 😏

[true salmon]

landing pads do work, and youll even get traders landing on it, but the ships dont come with when youre flying they just stay where they stopped and landed

[subtle sage]

I love the “squatty” look. That word probably doesn’t translate well so I hope you know what I mean.

[weak rune]

I call it the squashed diamond look, if we're both talking the backend.

[subtle sage]

Yeah that works. 👍

[delicate yoke]

oh wow

at what point can you build these ships? late game?

[tough plank]

Expedition 20. The redux is coming up soon.

[abstract crow]

Needs more edge

All the edge.

[frigid depot]

Parts are from Expedition 20: Breach

[stone shadow]

You can build them right away, but basic parts are quite expensive (you can also find random ones on certain planets). They are mostly late early game. Just keep playing and the game will tell you about them

[delicate yoke]

gotcha!

[delicate yoke]

is 3mill enough for them? lol

[terse kestrel]

You're looking at about 7 to 8 million for your first Corvette if you purchase all the parts. It's really in your best interest to do heavy farming of salvage scrap. You're not only collect a lot of parts you can use but you'll make millions of units selling the parts you don't need.

I always suggest finding a nice small moon with salvage scrap. The tight geography forces loot points to spawn much closer together. The larger the planet the larger the distance between loot

[abstract crow]

I had a system with 4 planets that had scrap. That way, if you got bored of one color and type of landscape, you could try the next planet.

[delicate yoke]

thanks!

[wicked dagger]

So thsi is my latest - just getting teh principles right - I am playing in Permadeath mode so not got as many parts as I woudl liek. The intention is to essentially have a corvette with all of my storage - so has to be big enough to hold 9 stores, refiner, food processor, etc ...

[long pawn]

Pretty good work! You have mastered the basic techniques of building, which is all you really need to make good looking corvettes. I love how well the first squadron goes together visually. It makes it appear you are all from the same fleet/planet/whatever...

[wicked dagger]

Yep I like that too. It’s all one ship though

[long pawn]

Damn... that thing looks more like a cinquedea than a corvette. Out of curiosity, is it within the 100 part complexity limit or do you use a mod?

[long pawn]

Oh, I know that. I've built squadrons, too. 🙂. Which technique did you use to make yours?

[abstract crow]

Oh, it's FAR outside the part limit, lol. Those wings for the hull alone are probably 100 parts.

Iirc, it's over 2k parts. Maybe 3k.

[long pawn]

Darn! I was inspired by your design and wanted to see if I could make a corvette like it. Oh well... guess my flying knife corvette will have to be smaller. So many ideas, so few ship slots... sigh

3k???? faints

[abstract crow]

I'm trying to do another smaller design that will still probably be over 100 parts. But it's doable if you optimize your space.

Though nowhere near on the same scale, lol.

Service bot dimensions and part count.

[terse kestrel]

If I find somebody posing up at the anomaly farming Aura with your Corvette I'm going to record their kidnapping and drop them in a volcano for you

[tardy bear]

Thats very doable just upright the circle method 🙃

[abstract crow]

Hey, more power to them. I had the bot deliver the ship to me so I could make it the first ship in my list. My PC is not happy whenever I try to edit it. Odd because I had no issues with the original

[turbid pecan]

I am not familiar with that method lol I kinda gave up cause couldn’t figure out how to do circular shapes

[tardy bear]

There are enough tutorials on yt just have a look its not that difficult to do

Circle methods

[terse kestrel]

Channel pins have those tutorials

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Look at the vertical build tutorial

[long pawn]

@terse kestrel It may be confirmation bias on my part but have you noticed corvettes are more maneuverable when you build them with parts intended to be used together? I've gotten surprisingly good numbers without upgrades even with engines that only boost maneuverability in the 2%-4% range. 🤔

[turbid pecan]

Thank you

[long pawn]

Introducing The Very Confused Yellow Submarine. This version #2 and I may rebuild her yet again. But, for now, she's my go to corvette.

[terse kestrel]

That's a very good theory and something I want to test. It would also explain why it's so much easier to get good stats out of an Aeron build. All similar parts

[terse kestrel]

Chonky

[elder iron]

Hidden theme bonuses would be crazy

[long pawn]

Oh good! It's not just me! I first noticed what may be hidden bonuses when I attempted to build a corvette out of Arcardia parts then I noticed how other parts had the same contours. So, I added those... by the time I was done the corvette had 3k maneuverability.

[terse kestrel]

But in line with HG and their hidden factors they don't directly tell us

[long pawn]

She is! That's why I'm thinking of a third build to downsize it. The Very Confused Yellow Submarine uses a lot of pieces with the same contours...

[elder iron]

Hmm, you think the hidden bonus would apply specifically to the slopes and whatnot?

[terse kestrel]

Would be easy to test his through aerofoils

[long pawn]

I wanted to write up a tutorial about it but I want to see if it's true and not my imagination.

[terse kestrel]

I'll be on Xbox in a couple hours and will try. Will need to confirm from multiple platforms before it's taken seriously

[long pawn]

I have no idea how to determine the exact bonuses

I appreciate the help!

[long pawn]

I think the slopes are a clue but I don't know how much same contours boost vs same theme boost. That's assuming what I've noticed is correct. Don't need to spread misinformation. It'll need a lot of testing.

[long pawn]

Why don't we all test builds using one corvette each? That way the supercharged tech slots will remain consistent with each tester. With more people, we'll have a better pool of data, and be able to prove or disprove my conjecture that there are hidden bonuses.

[lapis merlin]

Blade Runner now available on nomansapp.com

[long pawn]

This my test corvette, The Spirit of Conjecture. She has 2 Landing Gear, 3 Ambassador Class Habs, a Titan Class Cockpit, a Thunderbird Class Landing Bay, 2 Arcadia Haeavy Boosters, 2 Twin Echo Jets, 3 Phase Beams, 3 Infa-Knives, a Medusa Reactor, 2 Rockhopper Wings, and 2 Hardframe Diffusers. She's been intentionally built to have no apparent theme.

As you can tell, Spirit has a pretty good array of supercharged slots and decent starting stats

Let's see where this conjecture leads. Is it real or just confirmation bias?

[knotty flicker]

What's a good safe zone, in regards to corvette complexity versus game performance/issues?

[main prawn]

its 27million enough to build an alright corvette?

[ancient wing]

you ever have one of those moments where you just looks at yourself, and say "Self, you should have known better..."
The Corvette build that I saw in the anomaly that I have been obsessing about has a MASSIVE tell...

[terse kestrel]

Is that a freighter walkway?

[terse kestrel]

You need 8mil minimum. Once you got your first aerial farming of scrap makes it easier and cheaper to build a bigger one

[timid surge]

so I rolled my supercharge slots, wondering if I should buy as many storage slots while its a C class

[ancient wing]

that is indeed a freighter walkway.

[wide ferry]

agh, is there a way to move the entire corvette like 1 unit up without needing to remake the entire thing

[ancient wing]

welcome to my pain. I've shifted my 100 piece up... and then down... and then back up... I almost called it the FD4-Yo-Yo

[wide ferry]

:(

ugh that means i gotta redo the interior as well

[ancient wing]

I can say it was a valuable exercise though, because I found configurations and placements of pieces that gave differet looks as I shifted them

[glass surge]

<@&590975379678953522>

[timid surge]

how do I get rid of corvettes? I cant seem to sell mine

[glass surge]

You need to strip it down to the most basic modules so you keep the valuable ones, then trade it with a NPC for a starship, and then scrap that

[timid surge]

ah thanks

[long pawn]

@terse kestrel I found our first confirmation that we're on to something with this hidden bonuses business. I switched out the cockpit and the landing bay to match the Ambassador Class Habs. This should have only increased boost by 1%. Yet, maneuverability increased too.
The Spirit of Conjecture went from 1449.8 to 1501.6, an improvement of 51.8 or 03.6%.

[long pawn]

I then switched out the 2 Arcadia Heavy Boosters for Ambassador Heavy Boosters. I kept the Twin Echo Jets. I followed build order and the expected improvement was 6%. The Spirit maneuverability improved to 1522.5 or only 1.4%, much less than the expected 6%.

[silent siren]

Is there a way to get Autopilot on the Corvette to cruise at higher speeds than 32u/s (which is my maximum I get right now).

[glass surge]

Set auto pilot when at higher speeds maybe; the highest i've been able to set it at is 39u/s

[silent siren]

I was hoping more for 300+ ^.^

[glass surge]

LUL no, you might as well start doing parabolic arcs also it won't pulse you to unknown planets only known planets / stations, sadly

[prisma spoke]

Improved the star destroyer build a bit

Just made it bigger and used the hatch glitch thing to make a big open room on the 3rd floor

Prolly gonna change the color so it looks a bit better

And i used mods to make it a bit bigger

[true salmon]

350 is a good limit, over that you stop loading fully and at 850 you start crashing games, though ive loaded 3 1500 part vettes so far with no issues

[knotty flicker]

Well... ADHD kicked in. The carrier project has been postponed. This, however, is looking too cool to give up on

And no, I did not rob a Miata for its headlights

Actually... Now that I look at it from this angle, it looks kinda like a Countach in the front

[knotty flicker]

Made a slight change to the rear to cover a bare-looking spot

Next step is furnishing the interior and laying out utilities~

[silk coral]

well, after this i can say that creating things is not my thing

[mint wind]

Anyone have any ideas for the top and front, I've spent so long making this i cant leave the front that hideous💀

I made a cave in it and no mods or glitches or anything😮‍💨

[sudden torrent]

this is so peak

[terse kestrel]

Expand it. Your problem is your template is too small for what you are looking to get out of it. Garden Corvettes are better bigger. More to explore and more features you can build

Ring your build in ancient ruined walls. Give one way to enter makes it feel like a contained garden

[knotty flicker]

Interior furnishings are coming along. There are windows in the back lounge area now

Do you guys think my engine profile is a bit too high?

[rare epoch]

HOW?

[rare epoch]

That looks super cool though

[terse kestrel]

On ruined planets you find memory stones that give you pieces of ancient ruins that you can build. As decoration. 12 in total

Like any other decoration you can place them on your Corvette.

And when it comes down to it decorations load softer and easier than Corvette pieces. So you can have a small Corvette under 50 pieces with a bunch of decorations building it up

[abstract crow]

My next design. Smaller build with an open interior. I have no idea how well this will work because I'm trying to severly limit my usage of habs as well.

[mint wind]

So so much carbon and a lot of dedication

[warm breach]

"smaller"

[abstract crow]

Probably 1/5 the size of my cruisers.

[abstract crow]

More like Tarkin

[warm breach]

who the fuck is that

i prefer

[nimble stirrup]

This is something that belongs more in #memes🤡 than here, @blissful cedar

[blissful cedar]

Alright

Should i try to fix it or completely get rid of this metal piece of junk

[raven rover]

You can try fixing it

It has potential

[ancient tendon]

I can see what you're going for and I like it, smooth out a few lines and a pretty ship turns into a super model

[dim vigil]

So I just want a good plane easily any tips

Should i part hunt how to make it most efficient, speed, strength etc

[raven rover]

Build what you want tbh

[dim vigil]

(I don't know how they work)

[raven rover]

Looks is the most important thing

[dim vigil]

Is there a way to access my storage from anywhere

[raven rover]

Uh just put all of the necessary modules in

[dim vigil]

I put one on my corvette but i cant access it via the inv

[dim vigil]

What is the fastest i can make one

[raven rover]

Put 3 big thruster, 3 medusa reactor

Kinostream has the biggest boost stat

[dim vigil]

Hmmm how do i get those

[raven rover]

Then you can boost it even further with tech mods

[raven rover]

Luck

[dim vigil]

Sorry I'm really uninformed

[raven rover]

Or trade

[raven rover]

Find a moon/planet with salvaged scrap

[blissful cedar]

Thanks, it’s my first corvette and just maked this in order to try the new feature, i agree that design is not that bad but the real problem is stats, so i could be making a similar design but with different body and aerodynamics

[raven rover]

Find yellow wifi icons

Dig em up

[dim vigil]

Also maybe not the right channel but how do i increase upgrade slots in my exosuit

[dim vigil]

Thank you

[raven rover]

Or shoot the thing from ur ship

[raven rover]

Space station, anomaly

And exosuit upgrade charts

And more

[dim vigil]

I could only find inventory slots

[raven rover]

Click the missing tech slot

Same as starship tech slot

You have to click the thing

hey guys could anyone help me finish this build or give any advice for it its pretty messed up

[warm breach]

glitch building

[raven rover]

i think its alr glitched to kingdom come 😭

[plucky venture]

😭

[raven rover]

The back side needs more work

[plucky venture]

i didnt use glitch building tech

[raven rover]

Front alr looks stellar

[raven rover]

Blender?

[plucky venture]

no built fully in game

[raven rover]

Ah

[warm breach]

glitch building is in game

[raven rover]

Just add some bedazzle to the back side

[plucky venture]

yeah but i cant figure out how to connect a landing pad to it

https://youtu.be/SC78MQfcMsk?si=X2z5SfOQwAqncqtB

heres the vid i used im pretty sure its not glitch building

[raven rover]

That is absolutely glitch building

[raven rover]

Like the base building landing pad?

[plucky venture]

yeah

in a way that looks halfway decent

[raven rover]

Ah got it

I still refer to it as glitchbuilding

[raven rover]

Hmmm

Check the pinned videos here

Might have some guides to place those

Transfer glitch

Or if you have access to mods

Infinitely easier

Disclaimer tho, you can land your starship on the pad

But if you take off with your corvette

The ship wont come with you

[plucky venture]

honestly im pretty close to scrapping this build

[raven rover]

Oof

[plucky venture]

yeah ik theres just so many issues with circle building its frustrating

[raven rover]

Ikr

I made 2 ships with circle building

Never agaim

I hate it

But the end result looks cool

[plucky venture]

no fr and this is my first ship build ever

[raven rover]

Almost makes it worth it

[plucky venture]

yeah but the interior is infernal

[plucky venture]

oh holy

[raven rover]

hmmm

[plucky venture]

that looks amazing

[raven rover]

Youre trying to make a startrek inspired build right?

The uh

Whats the name

[plucky venture]

yeah or mill falcan or any ship really that looks decent circular

[raven rover]

Ah

Just try searching for those in the showcase channel or here

[plucky venture]

ok il give it a look

[raven rover]

Theres a bunch of really cool designs that you can steal some ideas from

[plucky venture]

this is kinda what i was going for

but no idea how these guys dont show any landing gear

[raven rover]

Bury em

OR

Using a glitch

But its patched now

Afaik

[raven rover]

Bury as in place some stuff beside them to kinda hide em

[plucky venture]

would that work cuz the circular disc is like three blocks above ground

[raven rover]

Use the mag landing

Very small

[nocturne nimbus]

Why patch building glitches?

Why not add them as features

[raven rover]

Probably unintended or smth

[blissful cedar]

İs this a sign for me to refinish kingdom peak deliverance 2?

[raven rover]

Hell yeah

(I dont play the game)

[nocturne nimbus]

But if it doesn't break the game and just useful for the builders why patch it

[raven rover]

😔

oh my
that is gigantic

[abstract crow]

You should see the 1:1 builds people are doing.

Super star destroyer that makes freighters look tiny.

[terse kestrel]

No landing gear you say?

@raven rover not patched. They did take away the method to use your base computer to build on your corvette. But the method of using the second terminal to remove parts you don't want that are essential still remains.

The base computer method was extremely unstable and corrupting saves. One of the few times they've taken a glitch method away but it was justified

At the one minute mark is where you use the second terminal to edit your finalized build

[raven rover]

Ahhhh i see

I saw someone said that it was patched

Oh wait

Is the uh

[terse kestrel]

Yeah. In 3.12. Beeblebum even deleted his video about it

[raven rover]

Settlement glitch?

Is that back on the menu?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah...that one

That's the one that was taken away

[raven rover]

Or is that still fooked

😔

[terse kestrel]

It was one of two ways to build vertically. Now the only way to build vertically is using the trick where you fall out of your access ramp

[raven rover]

Yeah

Big sad

[plucky venture]

i gotta try that one

heres what i did instead

kinda chuncky though

[warm breach]

you dont need a landing bay

[plucky venture]

yeah just saw

[warm breach]

you dont need the entrance

[plucky venture]

when i try and do the delete on the second terminal my orignal corvette doesnt show up?

am i doing it wrong?

[terse kestrel]

Your Corvette has to be parked in the first pad. When you go up to the terminal make sure you select the purchase options twice.

After getting into the purchase screen back out once and select the option to build a corvette. That will allow you to edit the first pad

[plucky venture]

thanks a ton it worked

how do i get inside it though 😭

[terse kestrel]

If your access ramp closed just save and reload a restore point. If you can't access the open button from outside

[night copper]

Building it right now

Any ideas for engine's and inside sections

[plucky venture]

@raven rover

better?

[somber apex]

Are all corvettes C-class vessels? Can they be upgraded

[abstract crow]

They all start as C class, and they upgrade like other star ships.

[tough plank]

Lol

[somber apex]

…expensively?

[abstract crow]

And with nanites

[terse kestrel]

It costs 75k nanites to bring a Corvette from C-Class to s-class. And this can be dealt with by unlocking pirate stations and using their Tech packets to flip units to nanites easily

Soaking up larval and hadal cores as well. From the same vendor

[somber apex]

How do tech packets become nanites again?

[foggy depot]

Just crack them open for the modules inside and sell, I'd imagine. Super easy way to convert money into nanites.

[wide ferry]

hey guys. i didnt like how flat my corvette was, but now it looks a bit too fat. does anyone have any advice. it took me like an hour to rebuild the thing from scratch to move it one tile up😔

Real corvettes have curves. Fat is beautiful.

[wide ferry]

oh lord

i gotta ascent 3 flights of these buggy ass stairs just to get up the cockpit lmao

https://www.reddit.com/user/aresmarr/

did anybody try building this guy's designs in game?

[glass surge]

The only Corvette design i copied was BigDame420's Crab Sonosheee from the movie Redline and my build is based off his reddit post of three images with my own customization and not a video; I've already redone it 2 more times because i didn't get the centering and front placement right and if i can get a better SC slot roll on my main save i might redo it a 5th time but just on that save

[ancient wing]

the angled wing would not spark joy to try and build at this moment

but I could do a flat wing version. (minus the upside down reactors...)

[zenith sluice]

havent even downloaded the game yet

just bored so doing a bunch of research on it XD

but thx anyways

[ancient wing]

no thank you, I did not realize therer was a Blender to NMS pipeline

whyich also probably explains how the corvette I have been obsessing over was built...

[timid surge]

do yall find any point in having multiple or even one ceto class reactor?

I see the zenith being useful, maybe even the medusa and azimuth, but not sure about the ceto

in particular due to the 60 slot tech limit

[glass surge]

Not really since you have the Shield modules besides the main shield / upgrades that also boost.

I could see using all three if you're going minimal guns but kind of overkill if you're not to have three separate shield systems.

It makes you have to balance your own ship for what you want to do

[solar hill]

How do you make a second floor to a corvette

Like I get you put a hab on top of a hab but how do you get the stairs to connect the two

[timid surge]

you have to complete it, then walk into the corvette and press z, then you can modify the internal adding stairs

[solar hill]

Ok thanks

[abstract depot]

Do parts have different rarities? I feel like I only ever find storage tanks and scaffolding ducts

Ooor is there a unique Corvette parts registry per system???

[terse kestrel]

What you get out of a scrap container is completely random. And there's never been any suggestion that system parameters alter drop rates or rarity.

Like if two people are doing multiplayer and they loot the same scrap point they'll both get different loot. Like looting a derelict freighter or other group activities

[ancient wing]

Cosmetic, is my only purpose for it

[abstract depot]

I find ceto way easier to vanilla clip parts into

You can stick a gun or any other reactor inside one half of it but I haven't done much with half stepping on purpose so eh

[topaz vortex]

damn

[abstract crow]

I found one on the delivery bot app, but it was too small...

[nocturne nimbus]

Has anyone built the Warhammer themed ship designed by Knight Tyme Gaming? if yes please contact to me

[main prawn]

anyone have any corvette designs with like a moderate amount of room but also looks compact and clean

[ancient wing]

how do you wish to define moderate?

for that matter, how do you define compact?

6(+1)x5x3, 6 full hab blocks, so I have refiner, kitchen, radar, and all of my storage. Quick egress from the cockpit. I could make it smaller. but it felt really unbalanced

[smoky dawn]

I’m very tempted to revamp this to celebrate NMS winning an award.. 👀

Maybe I could add some lights and flags

Make it a party snail

[knotty flicker]

Managed to pull off a glowing antenna using a signal booster and a tall antenna structure

Here's how it looks below. I used a lab lamp to make a sort of pass-through for the beam

[azure flare]

Do that on your own or did you use a guide? Modded or vanilla?

[unborn leaf]

Hey, we should meet up and get a good chase scene going with my Ghost lol

[storm imp]

If there is anyone here who has read the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown, would you help me create either The Pax, or MorningStar as a corvette? I'm not that good at creating ships lol

[coral bison]

All modded useing nexus base build mod + blender

[small torrent]

is ths any good? I dont have the best boost slots but I got it pretty high

[knotty flicker]

I think I have this as optimized as it's gonna get until I unlock more space...

[small torrent]

👍

[warm lake]

Is there a way to clip wings and stuff slightly into other objects so they mesh together? Not really sure what to search on YouTube to find that info so just asking here.

[frigid depot]

You can offset stuff by half a grid space in all directions, guide is in pins

[warm lake]

Thank you :))

[weak rune]

One of the things I have always done when building a corvette is to imply it's a 2 person ship. 2 crew berths, 2 storage lockers etc. But until this build i have never provided a proper station. What seems to be missing in the build inventory is some type of comm device. Also wish I could put a system in my wonders. The front wonder display would be a system and right side one a planet in that system.

[storm imp]

Is there a mod that lets you extend the length of the build zone for a corvette?

[tardy bear]

Yes! Its called colossal corvette build area at nexusmods

[storm imp]

Sweet, thank you!!

I take it that it is unable to be brought into the anomaly due to the size?

[tardy bear]

Yeah, not sure what the limit is to still go to the anomaly but i suggest above the normal 100 limit dont go to the anomaly 🙂

[storm imp]

Due to potentially crashing other players. Does that include decorations you put onto the corvette, or just corvette parts?

[terse kestrel]

You can bring any size Corvette into the anomaly. But you don't want to do it if going far beyond the 100 piece Corvette part limit. Mainly because Corvette pieces take longer to load and lagging out players around you when you start having too many.

The Corvette in this video was pretty much all Corvette pieces. Several hundred of them. And you see what it did to my game

In contrast you want to try and use as many decorations as possible to increase the size of your corvette. Without having to actually use Corvette pieces. They are softer loading and don't lag your system or those around you.

[abstract crow]

Picking away at this corvette-sized corvette design. Main problem is I can't see well out the cockpit. Big ass gun blocking 75% of the view. Other than that, she's coming along well.

[storm imp]

Dang, that really killed the frame rate. I may need to go data hunting and get all the base parts before working on the corvette. I'm wanting to recreate this https://www.reddit.com/r/redrising/comments/hlnuag/my_version_of_the_morning_star/

[abstract crow]

Interior needs a floor and better walls next.

[storm imp]

She's beautiful!

[abstract crow]

Thanks. Was a more challenging build because I tried to keep her within the build zone and give her an open interior. Also tried cutting back on habs

[terse kestrel]

That's what you're wanting to build I would suggest getting blender and learning that if you have not before. That will allow you to scale up all the decorations you have properly. Creating the massive ship you want

#nms-corvette-discussion message

If you look at this ship you can see that it's exterior is flat wall panels. Using those scaled up with blender go a long ways in creating big ships

[abstract crow]

It always makes me laugh when I try to build a smaller design, realize there's too much I want to add, get frustrated, then just build big again.

[storm imp]

I can see how that's beneficial. Not having seems or blocks jutting out in weird ways does help. Though I have zero knowledge on Blender. Never used it before. Is it easy to scale items up? How do you make sure when placing the part on, it attaches in the right area?

[terse kestrel]

#nms-modding

Suggest asking there. They'll be able to give you full tutorials on how to use it for Corvettes and bases. I know of it. And know how it generally works. But do not use it myself

Most people I've seen start using it usually get the hang of it within a few days. And start making some really good looking Corvettes after that

[storm imp]

Thank you for directing me there!

Do you use blender to also add paint to the parts? It doesn't seem to give that many options on color

[woeful zodiac]

I take it there isnt an optimal Tech setup for corvettes

[frigid depot]

I mean, there is definitely a max possible stat, but no, no optimal tech layout that I know of at least

[terse kestrel]

Really it's what you're looking for out of your corvette.

Also if you utilize offsetting, rotating and angling your habs 90° you can put a ton of tech in a small area. Maximizing your stats without having everything spread out.

[small torrent]

Are these stats any good?

[terse kestrel]

What class is it?

[small torrent]

S

[terse kestrel]

Can you screenshot your tech layout?

[woeful zodiac]

I mean the tech squares above the inventory, with your guns, shields, upgrades in

[terse kestrel]

Well you do want to follow adjacency bonuses of course. And things like your boosters mix with your pulse drive. Zenith mix with your warp and so forth. Weapons mix with their Tech.

As far as your supercharged slots that's pretty much personal preference.

[small torrent]

Thats my tech

[terse kestrel]

Rearrange your boosters and pulse Tech like this. C1-3 are your boosters from strongest to weakest

Same with your Tech upgrades. 1-3 from strongest to weakest

[woeful zodiac]

ill have to have a play around later

[terse kestrel]

https://nms-optimizer.app/

I use this for most of my tech anymore. If you're not looking for pure min/maxing this is an easy way to build your Tech setups with little work

It has options for anything with tech. Suit and tools too

[woeful zodiac]

photonix core lol

[terse kestrel]

From the same maker of the NMS assistant

[small torrent]

like this?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah. What did that do to your maneuverability?

[hardy oracle]

Not everyone has easy access to the Photonix core but it's nice because it stacks. It's not the most powerful of modules but well worth a slot

[terse kestrel]

Nice. Easy 600 out of that little change. If you use that optimizer tool I linked above it will help with your other tech. And you can incorporate your fourth SC slot if you want. It will give you the proper setup to make that work. Giving you even more maneuverability

[woeful zodiac]

yer id fit it all the time if i could, like you say, not many people will have it hence the lol

[small torrent]

Thx!

[hardy oracle]

Everyone playing on playstation or PC has access to it one way or another, no? I don't know the player statistics but I bet that's still more than half

[lunar pike]

It would be sick af especially for the mainly water planets

Facts actually

It didn’t sit in the water 🥲

Omg 😳 it’s beautiful

[pliant girder]

Not as cool as some of the designs I see here, but I'm pretty happy with it

send pics

[abstract depot]

Don't have it on me sadly

Hope everyone who stopped by my ship gets good use out of all the gifts I gave, if anyone sees this ship in the anomaly stop by you might receive a cool gift 🫡

No one?

[carmine moon]

you mean the thunderhawk? i was just abotuto get started on that myself

but im running into some bugs so icant do anything at all

[woeful zodiac]

any1 made galactica yet?

[carmine moon]

has anyone ran into an issue whrere you have several corvette parts on you but when you go to barter none of them are available to trade?

[elder iron]

Are those the parts you can either craft or buy for units in the store?

[wide bay]

And if they added swivel turrets people could built actual Warships to fight the bug things

[abstract crow]

Hell, I still bring actual warships anyways.

That's not small 😂

[abstract crow]

It's three habs long. What do you want from me?!

Well, like 3.5

[terse kestrel]

2 walkway. No more

You can do it

[abstract crow]

Too small

As is, I don't think I'll be able to put any guns on this thing without getting really creative.

[long pawn]

@terse kestrel The experiments are giving some interesting results. Not only did the maneuverability bonuses go down when I added ambassador sublight boosters, the numbers changed according how I arranged them on my test corvette. Having the sublight engines in front was superior to having them in back. This is starting to be far more complex than I had imagined. 🤔

[terse kestrel]

Yeah boosters will change stats based on placement. And it's something else no body has quite figured out what factors it bases those changes on

[long pawn]

oops. may have a duplicate picture up there. lol

So... what may be hidden bonuses/penalties could be affected by theme, placement, contour, height and width. JEEBUS. That's a lot of factors in addition to the listed bonuses. lol

Someone will min/max it. lol

[wraith quiver]

i noticed that when i built one of mine that had some boosters up front as well. youll notice the same with those aux parts like the vents and fuel rods as well. they seem to add more maneuverability toward the front

[glass surge]

It could be because at the front those engines are near the cockpit; We know that the cockpit works with the Medusa Reactors and have adjacency bonuses besides improving maneuverability so my thinking would be that maybe being near the cockpit provides a small unknown bonus to maneuverability.

Even putting non aerodynamic parts affects maneuverability during building; putting the Arcadia wings on a build can drag maneuverability down by 2-4 points

[long pawn]

Good points! I think it's going take a lot of messing around, writing down numbers, and server participation to figure out what the exact bonuses are. For now, I'll just be happy to determine some general principles about hidden bonuses/penalties so I can write something up for a possible FAQ

[abstract depot]

my first corvette: inadvertently built like a ps5 controller

currently working on a sleeker redesign

[long pawn]

LOVE IT!

[abstract depot]

them pixels are crunchy

[long pawn]

for sure. I'm still exploring how to get clearer pics.

[wraith quiver]

yeah my in game screenshots are grainy too

[glass surge]

well yeah because you used the photomdoe left click; if you use steam use F12 and also changing your Anti aliasing Setting away from TAA would help a LOT

[long pawn]

JINX. You wrote it better than I could.

I'm trying to exen go beyond that

[wraith quiver]

Yeah i usually just prnt scrn if im honest. i pulled my photo out of the accidental snaps lol im not in game rn

[long pawn]

*even

Like whether I could improve the screenshots via photopea or preview

[nimble stirrup]

what device do you play on?

[long pawn]

Mac

[nimble stirrup]

i see

I dunno how mac's work really, but for me, I use prt scrn to take a screenshot, rather than use the Steam screenshot or in-game screenshot functions

[long pawn]

mac mini M2 chip

[glass surge]

Here's my Crab Sonoshee Corvette in Higher res PNG; I have a AMD GPU so I set my Anti Aliasing set to FSR Native in settings and then turned on Steam High res screenshots for PNG and then used f12 when in NMS photomode to take this

[long pawn]

something about steam/NMS prevents me from taking my usual screenshots. It's a PITA

That should be a pin.

[nimble stirrup]

interesting, I've never heard of that happening before

[long pawn]

your screenshot is very good. I alos like your crab

[long pawn]

Yeah. I hit my regular screenshot function keys and all it does it make my screenshot continually rotate

[nimble stirrup]

weird

[long pawn]

I mean, screen view rotate, not the actual screenshot. My bad. having a real bad fibro-fog day. LOL

[nimble stirrup]

macs confuse me

[long pawn]

That is a beautiful corvette, BTX

BTW

HA. They confuse a lot of people. Meanwhile, windows confuse me. heehee

[glass surge]

Same

[long pawn]

Anyways, back to experimenting. see you later. waves

[tawdry field]

I need more cockpits

especially ones that look like the ones on jet planes

its such a pain trying to make jet plane style corvettes with the cockpits rn

also maybe smaller habs would be good for that but idk

[tawdry field]

thats sick

[round hawk]

any UFO corvettes yet

[tawdry field]

yes

ive seen some

[round hawk]

that’s actually insane im gonna try to make one once i get rich enough to even make a corvette

[tawdry field]

you need to do some glitches for a proper circle but they arent too hard

[tawdry field]

once you have enough for the bare minimum make a corvette with that and hunt for scrap

[silent siren]

How long would you say should be planned to get enough parts to build a corvette, let's say with 10 ambassador hab mods >.>;;;;;;;

[glass surge]

If you have a Corvette already and know how to find Salavageable scrap planets / moons then i would think it would take you maybe a hour or two to get a lot of general corvette modules..

If you're hunting for one specific hab it'd take you longer and you might be better off doing a two hour run of getting corvette parts and then trade modules at the space station for more of that hab module that you do want; don't forget you can use q and e on PC to raise and lower the amount you want when trading at the Corvette Terminal

[long pawn]

@terse kestrel I replaced the habs, cockpit, and landing pads with the titan themed ones and left the engines the same. The maneuverability should not have changed.

Instead, it dropped 11 points to 1513.5. Who knew what cockpit, habs, and landing bay you used with your engines mattered? I haven't even touched upon matching and mismatching wings, cowlings, etc... yet.

We're talking about the most basic parts a player uses in building a corvette having an impact on maneuverability. This is a deep rabbit hole indeed.

Yet, I have to wonder if this information is of much use/interest to anyone but a few min/maxers. Is it even worth a FAQ or should I drop the question and let builders discover this stuff on their own? I'm torn.

What do you think?

[dawn valve]

What is the best way to get corvette parts? 🥺

[eager sky]

Of all those listed, only habs do not affect stats aside from hold storage. The tooltip even says so

[eager sky]

Salvagable scrap planets. Find a good one and start walking

[glass surge]

or get units and buy basic parts at a station for a starter corvette

[dawn valve]

Thank you

[eager sky]

Those be very expensive and very limited tho

[glass surge]

that's why i said for a starter corvette which means you can get a basic corvette setup and then use the corvette method to get parts instead of walking on a planet

[eager sky]

Those changes are from how you arranged the pieces in the grid, not where you put them on the ship

[storm imp]

I use a program called gyazo. Uses keyboard shortcuts, and may be able to fix your screnshot issue

[long pawn]

Can you clarify what you mean? Show me a couple screenshots so I can make certain I'm not making any errors in my data collection.

[long pawn]

Thanks! I'll look into it. 🙂

[storm imp]

The shots I've taken on NMS through it are amazing. It's kinda like the print screen tool on windows, but imo a whole lot more user friendly. gyazo.com is the site

[south dagger]

is there a way to build flat panels without using decoration blocks?

[west path]

is there a way to use sentinal ship tech inside corvette ?

[south dagger]

i dont think so

my new corvette, its horrible, no space and u cant get in when it stands flat on the ground lol

[terse ingot]

looks sick though

[south dagger]

thx

[rotund compass]

got bored made a mega carrier

[abstract crow]

Made it a little longer and added 1.5 habs for extra space. Still a small design by my standards.

[hoary agate]

Smaller is better. Specialy for mp

[abstract crow]

I'll never be a small ship person. I'm just trying something new.

Well, not really new I guess. Same basic design I've always used for smaller ships.

Embrace the E D G E

[eager sky]

I can't get screenshots for a good while, but it's to do with adjacency bonuses

Notice how the heavy Ambassador boosters are in different positions each time? For reliable data you need to make sure they're in the same position and give the same bonuses every time

[warm breach]

that is because of seeds, sometimes an engine will give more maneuverability in another system

[eager sky]

Can't say I've ever had that happen

[warm breach]

its only on corvettes

[eager sky]

At least that I noticed

[warm breach]

ive had my maneuverability go from 5300 to 3100

just for joining someone

[eager sky]

Heck

[maiden shore]

Damage changed too

[somber apex]

What did upgrading from C class to B class do for my ship? I didn’t see any of the numbers go up at a glance

[maiden shore]

One more sc slot

[terse kestrel]

Base numbers go up. So all your percentage boosts from tech increase as well

Sounds like you got a bad roll if you didn't see a change.

[maiden shore]

Sc = supercharged

[terse kestrel]

For each level there's a potential maximum and minimum for base stats. And they overlap. So if you get a really good role on base stats for C class and a bad roll on B class you may actually lose some

[somber apex]

I got two more, I guess! Eventually!

[terse kestrel]

It's nothing to really concern yourself with until you upgrade to S class. If you don't notice a significant improvement from A class to S class you want to reload your game and upgrade it again

[somber apex]

Oh yeah I do have another huge boost to a thruster upgrade

[maiden shore]

C has one b has 2 a has 3 and s has 4 of them

They can BE extremly usefull when they're near to each other

[whole gale]

Antenna - functional or decorative? it has no meaningful description

[terse kestrel]

Decorative

[whole gale]

even Arcadia S-Foil says that it stabilises the vessel... so is that functional or decorative again?

[terse kestrel]

Only functional pieces are on the first page. The other two pages on the Corvette menu are cosmetics

[terse kestrel]

You will notice slide stat changes based on certain parts you place or where you place them. But as far as the parameters for why those changes take place nobody really knows

But they are such small variances that you really don't have much to be concerned about in that regard

[whole gale]

I assume getting another Photon Cannon Array will increase the damage potential? orrrr just cosmetic at that point? 😄

[cursive lark]

Up to three well increase stats, any more is cosmetic

[terse kestrel]

Three boosters total. Three of any kind of reactor. Three of any kind of weapon. Three of any type of landing gear.

[whole gale]

2nd photon array took it from 156.5 to 158.4 lol

[warm breach]

i will do anything to build this ship
