aerodynamics

[terse kestrel]

Well yeah. But it's not based on any real world aerodynamics or physics we can see. Whatever their parameters are are a mystery

[warm breach]

an official source, idk where it was again, said that covering up functional bulky pieces with decorations increases maneuverability

[terse kestrel]

And yet when I turn my boosters backwards and make them headlights I get better boost and manueverability

[warm breach]

because its a bug

[warm breach]

looks like a shuttle lol

[terse kestrel]

If someone official from HG said it's a bug of the physics I'm laughing.

The world bubble a Corvette exists in grows from the center. So the parameters of the Corvettes physical space and physical parameters inflate as well.

[abstract crow]

Still feels like I'm missing something. But I don't know what. I don't want to get crazy with accessories like usual.

[warm breach]

the top front looks to "cereal without milk"

[cursive lark]

The top looks too flat I think. Add some antenna and stuff, maybe an aeron drive to the roof

[worn latch]

On average how many units do yall spend to build a fully fleshed corvette

[warm breach]

50m-1b

depending on size

[worn latch]

How does one get 1b…

So far my best money making methods is grinding pirate dreads

[warm breach]

scanning things with cake

[worn latch]

Whats cake

[terse kestrel]

Also a trade surge can triple your bank easily.

[worn latch]

I see thanks

[terse kestrel]

You can turn 200 million into a billion during one trade surge

[worn latch]

Zamn

[warm breach]

ßamn

[somber apex]

I always wondered where that money was coming from

[abstract crow]

Or a space Santa gives you a bunch of stasis devices. Why do you think so many people just sit on the anomaly?

[warm breach]

because people like being kidnapped

[terse kestrel]

Technically it's not kidnapping if they are exploring your Corvette and you block them from leaving

[abstract crow]

I thought that was candy?

Or puppies

[terse kestrel]

Don't go in the basement. The stairs might disappear 👀

[warm breach]

technically its not murder if the knife was made by the store

[abstract crow]

Why do you think I build such massive ships with lots of habs? People go in, explore, get lost, can't run to the exit in time...

[maiden shore]

And randomly disappear forever

[abstract crow]

End up in galaxy 250 completely confused and disoriented

[warm breach]

nah i bring them to galaxy 256, the ghost galaxy

[maiden shore]

Technically they wanted to Work on my nipnip farms

[terse kestrel]

The same reason every dude is building large ships.

Fuselage envy 👀

[worthy mica]

Free labor…

[glacial rampart]

anybody elses corvettes really bugged out lately? invisible floors, other players can't get in or see them load in..

[wide ferry]

happens to me occasionally in the anomaly

[long pawn]

with a ship captain, his incompetent first mate, a rich couple, a beautiful actress, a farm girl, and a man who can make atomic bombs out of two perpetual cakes but can't fix a 6 x 6 hole in the hull of a ship.

[west frost]

Yuuup, I also keep getting stuck in the walls of my corvette.

[glacial rampart]

that too, esp loading between expedition saves

[glacial rampart]

mostly in the anomaly

will prob put in some bug tickets, I feel like their dev team actually cares. Unlike some others

[neat creek]

When I leave my Corvette 9 out of 10 times I fall through the ground

[vital turtle]

Yo

[elder iron]

Invisible floors and such in the anomaly would probably be due to base part rendering limits from the number of parts some corvettes may have

[glacial rampart]

ya the problem is even with my most basic corvette my friend can't see it or hop in it

[elder iron]

Is there overlapping corvettes too? Sometimes that can happen when joining the anomaly

[glacial rampart]

it happens

[cursive lark]

I fixed this by having them leave the system and come back

Usually breaks every time you summon a ship

[cerulean gale]

D'yall like my ship? Most of her parts were from a what i call "Junkyard" world (world with lotsa scrap). (Btw this is the SIN Ketsukane, brownie points if yk which game im referencing with its name!). Infra knife, positron, 4 Ceto reactors, 1 of them auto recharge reactors, shields and plenty of space.

[quiet sparrow]

Hey question: I wanna make a corvette based off the Pelican from the Halo game series, but I need some sort of bay-seats for that, and there doesn't seem to be anything like that for the corvette pieces. any ideas?

[obtuse wagon]

pretty sick

[gaunt aurora]

made this in october, havnt played in 2 months :/

[ember plaza]

i like my corvette

[ember plaza]

yess

indo

i do

[cerulean gale]

Thx spent like 30m on it XD

[quiet sparrow]

Behold! The Sapphire Turtle, Upgraded!

[glacial rampart]

ya this worked, or me leaving. thx

[coarse sable]

Hello Veteran travellers
I'm quite new to nms (90hrs) and currently want to start building my corvette.
But I still not really understand about which parts that should be bought or farmed to build for my design.
Could anyone help me to tell me which parts should I get if I want to make my corvette looks like this?
Or is it possible at all on this design xD

[hardy oracle]

That should be fairly doable. Corvettes are designed for a much smaller scale that this ship, but I think it is likely that you can make a reasonable approximation. As for the parts, you don't really have much options in that regard. There's no way you could make any sort of elaborate design with just bought parts. Salvaged parts are random, so you're just going to have to farm them for a while. You can trade in unwanted parts for any other part though.

[coarse sable]

Ah alright then, thanks for the info

[cursive lark]

I always suggest going into a creative mode save and building there, then you'll know what you need and what to farm

[terse ingot]

is there a way to put a landing bay on the side of a corvette (a sideways landing bay)

[muted shale]

Yes but u need a different landing gear

The basic one cannot do that

[lament abyss]

[muted shale]

I two of those in my inventory if u were my multiplayer frnd i could have given u that

[coarse sable]

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it

[terse ingot]

which one

[remote walrus]

is there a way to shrink corvette parts (like the cockpit, engines, etc..) and bypass the limits on needed parts?

[terse kestrel]

Only through modding on a pc. There's no glitches or mechanics for resizing Corvette parts or breaking the build limit in vanilla

#nms-modding will be able to tell you which mods and where to get them if you are interested

[remote walrus]

ok, ive seen mods where you can exceed the build limit but not any where you can have less than the required parts

[terse ingot]

are there any risks or things i have to keep in mind when building a corvette in the base building app and i use normal base parts (such as timber structures)

[tawny helm]

anyone know why i cant enter this minimized cockpit alough ive seen other ppl be abel to do it?

[terse kestrel]

As you shrink the cockpit the box that you have to look at to activate getting inside of it gets smaller and smaller. Almost to the point where it disappears completely. You have to find the point where you can get it as small as you can while still being able to activate it somewhat easily

[tawny helm]

whats the usual hotspot?

[terse kestrel]

You probably just having a bit too small. That's one of the smallest I've ever seen

No clue. You're just going to have to test that out

[tawny helm]

i made it twice as big now, will see if it works

i can clearly see it but cant enter

[tawny helm]

@terse kestrel if i use a corvette part mod, will just the modded part be invis and the vanilla parts still visible?

[terse kestrel]

Not sure of that one. You're going to have to ask one of the other mod users.

[tawny helm]

ok

[marsh night]

Latest ship I’ve been working on, this one is supposed to be a racing ship. Has a top speed of 4520, it’s the fastest ship I own by far.

[random zinc]

How do you get it to 4520?

I couldn't get mine faster than 3700

[fair pilot]

What is the corvette agility limit when the boost starts YEEEEET you and spin?

[terse kestrel]

Varies based on ship size but around 6-6500 is where you hit that wall

[warm breach]

i just accidentally kidnapped like 20 people in the anomaly because i got stuck under the map lmao

[marsh night]

3 supercharged pulse engine upgrades, corvette engine modules, and 3 Medusa reactors (one of which is supercharged)

I’m not even using X-class upgrades so it could go even faster

[warm breach]

i have x class with 2 medusa reactors and i get only 3800

[marsh night]

You can get a 3rd Medusa in there if you place the 3rd reactor before the cockpit, so the reactor’s buffs gets applied instead of the weaker buff from the cockpit

[warm breach]

the medusa reactor keeps replacing itself

[marsh night]

I got good supercharge layout too

[mossy lynx]

Can somone give me a vid or smth of the biggest ship i can built with basis modules? cause i dont wanna farm the other wants and trading sound like scam cause i dont have that much money

[fair pilot]

Ok, how can I improve corvette pulse speed without making it uncontrollable? 😄

[warm breach]

í got t shape

[warm breach]

supercharge the sublight amplifier

[marsh night]

Just buy a crap ton of habs from the station terminal, it wont look pretty but it'll work

[fair pilot]

Only this?

I've seen some normal ships flying like 5x of normal pulse flight...

[warm breach]

it goes from 30%+ speed to 62%+ speed i think

[marsh night]

Also you trade for corvette parts with other corvette parts

[random zinc]

There must be some other trick. I have 3 supercharged x-class modules and three medusa reactors, plus Artemis, Polo and six trails. Still just 3700.

[marsh night]

Tentacled bobblehead also gives +5% boost iirc

[random zinc]

I unfortunately don't have access

[marsh night]

set your ship power to engines?

/ button on keyboard or d-pad up on controller

[random zinc]

I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that we were comparing balanced

[marsh night]

Mine gets up to about 3700 on balanced power, I should’ve clarified that earlier

[random zinc]

oic, gotcha

then I'm the same

now I'm sad I don't have tentacle bobble head other than that I prefer to see Polo 🙂

[left basin]

why can't i use corvette parts if they're in my cargo storage?

[glass surge]

They have to be in the Space station workshop cache to be used during building, deleted parts off a corvette can ended up in your exosuit or current active space ship

[summer bough]

Does anybody know a way to Create a stone floortile substitute on a corvette

[left basin]

my first lowkey finished corvette

[long pawn]

I like it! You did a good job. 🙂

[left basin]

thx queen

[long pawn]

Oh cool! Here I was thinking there was some limit to normal pulse speed somewhere in the 2.8k units/sec range.

[elder iron]

Pulse or boost?

[long pawn]

That's really some impressive maneuverability too! Speedy, maneuverable, and packing a good punch. You've built yourself a real winner here.

[marsh night]

Not the most powerful ship I’ve made, I just wanted to make a fast ship that’s fun to get around with

This one is the capital ship deleter

[long pawn]

I like it just based on its looks. Is it within the 100 part complexity limit or is it modded?

[marsh night]

No mods

[long pawn]

ooooo! so, what are 97's stats?

[south aurora]

lots of room

[abstract crow]

Needs Moar room.

[long pawn]

Quick question, everyone! What is the best way to have an open hab entrance at ground level? I've run into some serious issues preventing me from getting into my corvette when I've put a landing bay at ground level. (with another landing bay on the first floor up front.)

[long pawn]

Holy shite

[long pawn]

Double holy shite!

[abstract crow]

So much space and I'm not creative enough to do anything with it. Also, I accidentally made the floors slightly off-center.

Drives me absolutely insane.

[long pawn]

Yeah, I've run into that with some of my bases. Just can't decide what to do with them. And... I bet. I can get pretty OCD with my builds too. little things like that drive me crazy

[abstract crow]

It was only like an inch off to the right. But due to the length of the interior...

[long pawn]

Then you end up with an all day project just to correct it all

[solid pecan]

yo that might be enough room 💔😭

[abstract crow]

Pretty much. I'll get around to fixing it eventually. Maybe.

[solid pecan]

Hopefully

[terse kestrel]

Ramp up front on first floor even with the landing gear.

Ramp on the rear one floor up above the landing gear.

Results in your front always landing flush with the ground/station floor

[random zinc]

What besides the maneuverability stat controls corvette turning speed?

[west frost]

Thanks for that tip

[left basin]

guys how do i add a hyperdrive upgrade if all the slots are taken?

is there a way to add more

[frigid depot]

Back left part of the station you can add more slots

[left basin]

in space station or anomaly

[frigid depot]

Space station

[left basin]

i see thx

[left basin]

which one is it?

[frigid depot]

Apply augmentation and purchase storage

You need money/storage augmentations for it tho

[left basin]

is there a way to find storage augmentations or do i have to buy em

[frigid depot]

Go ask in #nms-questions
I’m too tired to remember rn

[alpine latch]

you have to either purchase the slots or use a storage augmentation module. easiest way to get these is to scrap starships (usually higher class ships and haulers give more) there are other places you can find them though

[pseudo forge]

Want the quick and dirty way? Switch your save to creative (Option menu, General, difficulty settings) add slots for free and switch back to normal.

[carmine moon]

does anyone know if there is a way to flip the engine cover rim peice along the other axis to be placed on top instead of the side?

[pseudo forge]

check pins for tutorial vids on how to rotate

[terse kestrel]

You can turn it around and offset it to get it into the position that you may want it to get. But that piece only snaps to the side of other parts. Never the top

[carmine moon]

ah ok thats what i was wondering thanks

[lament abyss]

[carmine moon]

it seems like it should though esp if its meant to connect to engine casings, which rotate on all 3 axis

[terse kestrel]

It should but it doesn't. If you're trying to completely wrap the booster like in the picture you're going to have to offset a hab a quarter of the way into the booster.

Then attach your pods around that. Once you have the third one placed you can delete the hab and place the fourth one there

[carmine moon]

does anyone know of a piece or a way to fill in this gap other than filling it with cargo crate decor?

something to match that ramp to both the right and left of it

[elder iron]

Hmmm

Maybe a rim?

[carmine moon]

Yea thats what I was hoping for, but it doesnt look like either of the rims will rotate so that will attach to something from below

[elder iron]

Below? I figured you could attach it to the end of the speedbird nacelles or whatever those two overlapping are

[carmine moon]

ANy way i try to attach either of the 2 rims, it will only alloy it to attach ontoh the side, but not the top piece, making it so it wont match the upward curve of the ramp opening

[elder iron]

Oh ok, youll probably need a... corner piece

Theres too many names

Diffusers or nacelles

[pseudo forge]

Remove ramp add small hab to where ramp is attach piece then remove hab and put ramp back.. .Not sure if this will work but it should.

This will create an attach point.

[elder iron]

Rims dont rotate so the angle is vertical, so I dont think that will work either

[carmine moon]

yea I think thats the the main issue. was just wondering if there was maybe a trick to rotate it

[elder iron]

The problem is that most diffusers and nacelles either extend too far out or not far enough to match the ambassador hatch

Wait theres offsetting

[carmine moon]

its basically an extension for the engine covers, and those rotate on all axis

[elder iron]

Oh is that what those clipping parts are?

[carmine moon]

those clipping parts are two dome casings facing eachother, basically creating a half walkway sized piece

[elder iron]

I see

Hmm, not much will fit there easily

[carmine moon]

yea i ended up just putting down a bunch of paneling on the opposite corner. not in love with it, but it works

[elder iron]

Show me a wider view of the corvette, so I can see the broader shape

Im loading in my creative save to experiment with connections

[elder iron]

Ohhhhkay I see

[carmine moon]

ya the problem is the main body is 2 habs wide, but theres no way i know of to put both a cockpit and a ramp centered

so most of the body is 2 habs and the front area is 1 hab centered with 1/2 hab size pieces on the sides

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

You want the video titled Offset

That allows you to move Habs around in a 1/2 space

[carmine moon]

I think i get how to move them around , the issue im having is just making a section of habs that have a ramp and a cockpit in the center, but have that be 2 habs in width

[elder iron]

A thermal grill cap almost comes close enough to work

Consider this an extremely rough recreation of your build, lol

[carmine moon]

ah yea i think i tried that one and couldnt get it to line up right. did you have have to move any of those habs over 1/2 a block from the ramp, to the left?

[elder iron]

I used the rockhopper engine to allow me to place a titan hab clipping into the same space as the hatch

[carmine moon]

i see. ill try messing with that then, thanks again

[elder iron]

No problem

Im gonna mess around with other potential ways it could work

Maybe I should do the corvette expedition again just because of how much better I am with building corvettes compared to when I did it before

[carmine moon]

ah alright

[elder iron]

I immediately got distracted due to my creative save not having access to aeron parts to try, and then realizing I cant access the anomaly and now I found a system with two paradise planets

[elder iron]

Is it possible to shift a corvette part by a quarter of a grid space?

[terse kestrel]

No. Offsetting only works on half block movements. I wish we could do quarter placement

[elder iron]

Dang

I was attempting a microvette build and the arcadia sublight thrusters would look really nice adjusted a quarter space sideways

[tough plank]

@warm breach when you sent this pic, which one is the front?

[elder iron]

Top one because it has an actual window

Well, its more like a side view

[civic tendon]

How do I get started on rotating cabs horizontally and vertically accuracy is important I wanna make a bunch of hard Star Wars and Star Trek ships

[tough plank]

That's what it though.

[elder iron]

Hmm?

[civic tendon]

So second one is from the back I think

[livid veldt]

What the heck is this? I have one of these loud damned gek dudes placed here. Just saw this first time right now.

[frigid depot]

I need opinions
Number one or number two?

Hole or no hole?

[hallow field]

wish I could build like that

[upbeat verge]

Holographic friend

[knotty flicker]

The freighter-vette experiment is in full swing. I was able to get the catwalk piece lined up pretty well using the freeaim, this time around :D This makes for a great starting snap point for the rest of the build. She's gonna be a chonker, that's for sure...

I might take another whack at it though. I just realized that I can possibly lower the freighter parts below the ramp

The key here is making sure you have a downstair into the open catwalk piece. You absolutely have to come from above to get to the freighter bits

[knotty flicker]

Nevermind, I can't do this. This will cause the lower scaffolding of the freighter rooms to clip into the terrain

I'll keep reporting my progress as this goes

[frigid depot]

Anyone?
Hole but more engines or no hole but less engines

[knotty flicker]

+1 hole

[frigid depot]

Also thinking of changing its color
Don’t know what color scheme I want tho, any ideas?

[remote crypt]

Orange

[cobalt sable]

does unlocked/bought slots will be gone if i do complete rebuild the corvette?

[tame patio]

No, infact if you have filled all tech slots in the corvette you can get new slots for free.

[tight relic]

whut

[cobalt sable]

i invested a lot into corvette, now i wanna make it smaller, was afraid to lose slots. Thank you!

[fair pilot]

Hi! Is there any information about how the corvette footprint is calculated? I.e. how much space it will require to land.

[proper shadow]

I personally would try to center the engine and have only one

[warm breach]

the yellow glowing part is the back

[worthy fossil]

did they move up the placement cap?

[terse kestrel]

You mean how many parts you can place? It's still at 100

[worthy fossil]

oki

[frank trail]

Is it possible to delete your corvette?

[warm breach]

trade it in for another ship

[frank trail]

so I need to fill out my ship slots?

[velvet ruin]

Swap it with an NPC ship and scrap the NPC ship

[frank trail]

Thanks

[stone shadow]

Can't you just scrap it like a normal ship?

[abstract crow]

Nope. Gotta delete everything, save a different corvette over it, or trade with the AI

[tawny helm]

intergalactic express!

[tough plank]

Alright.

[abstract depot]

Missing a golden opportunity here.

Thats the Solar Express

[tawny helm]

good

[fair pilot]

Hey lads, I cooked?

[civic tendon]

That’s a beautiful minimalist corvette

I struggle to not make 100 block chonkers every time lol

They look great but are huge

[fair pilot]

Still almost 100 parts anyway

[random zinc]

nearly 100 parts doesn't seem minimalist to me

mine is 70-80 parts, also not minimalist 🙂

Just images, or as a download?

The Eclipse.

Eclipse I, II, or my Eclipse/Venator hybrid?

Or my dreadnought?

Here's a reference. Wonder if I can get one of those blender wizards to optimize the thing for me. Tear out all the excess habs, better bridge, compartmentalized interior...

Only the essentials

[sick kayak]

Going back to basics I see

[abstract crow]

Sometimes less is more.

[carmine moon]

Hey all, im having this really weird issue with my corvette and was hoping someone may have some insight

when I land on a planet, or im in the process of landing on a planet, my camera zooms way in to very center of my corvette and it starts jumping all over the place. cant see anything at all until i get out of the seat

[terse kestrel]

Can you share a picture of your build?

It might be part placement or something meshing in to your cockpit area. Forcing the camera in there

[carmine moon]

the camera zooms in all the way into the very center of the ship

[terse kestrel]

I like what you got going on with that design by the way. That's pretty nice.

Those tanks you have lined up at the top for the turret may likely be your issue. I would delete them and then try landing on a planet.

Decorations can cause hard points that the camera can get stuck in front of. Or keep it from rotating properly

[carmine moon]

thank you, and ill check those

i have a few decor peices and will have to check those as well

[pseudo charm]

This isn't BAD for having jack crap for corvette modules after scavaging two separate planets.. but heck is a lot better than what Mitey originally threw together. That front tho.. still needs work. Must collect more pieces!

[pseudo charm]

THAT is beautiful! ahh Mitey wish could build THAT.

[normal sable]

Dunno if god corvette module worlds are rare, but here is a system where I am able to pop about 40-90 salvage containers an hour. But here's the portal code for the system.

There is two planets with salvageable containers. Go to the one with out any sentinels

[eager sky]

I have one on a Forsaken Planet. Low gravity, no storms, only corrupted sentinels here and there, Larval Core eggs and Gravitino Balls strewn about. Great place

[jade steeple]

Is there a way to glitch the landing thrusters on top of each other??;

To take up just one block with 3?

[carmine moon]

thanks 😄

[mild robin]

Just saw now... well done with the throne and the Kiosk... feels like a full winter wonderland

[copper kindle]

Is more phase beams still more damage

[frigid depot]

Yes

[copper kindle]

What's the max I had like gazillion and most werent firing

[frigid depot]

6

[copper kindle]

Okie thanks

Had 7 that explains why the beams didnt look right

[inland badge]

just made a mandalorian kom’rk-class fighter-transport corvette, what do y’all think?

[manic sedge]

Rate my Corvette 1-10, I'm still new too the game, any suggestions would be nice

[west sierra]

what corvette i can build with 500 million units?

[worthy pulsar]

Weaponry upgraded to 6x phase beam arrays (when in Rome...), shield and weapon modules (mostly) no longer visible.

[west sierra]

i tried my best

[frozen cedar]

Hard to see but that is my corvette

[digital bear]

is there a way to flip the booster parts vertically?

[frigid depot]

Vertical building i think #nms-corvette-discussion message

[terse kestrel]

Tricky but doable

[digital bear]

what I wanted was actually making the booster's supports to facing upward not downward. Is it make sense? I don't know how to explain this.

[frigid depot]

You want it so the way the boosters point make it so the ship should go upwards?

[digital bear]

but still this vertical glitch building is quite helpful to. thanks it giving me another choices too.

[digital bear]

no Uh...

[terse kestrel]

Vertical boosters using that vertical video trick

Once you have a vertical framework set up you can point boosters up or down

[digital bear]

usually longer boosters have this supports right?

[terse kestrel]

The ones that stick out the sides? Usually where their snap point is

[digital bear]

yes! that one.

[terse kestrel]

Yeah you have to flip the entire framework to build vertically so you can attach them to vertical hab snap points. There's no way to just force the boosters into a vertical position without making a hab vertical first.

[digital bear]

I mean I thought there would be some glitch to make it possible, because I saw some corvettes does have this x-axis flipped boosters? But cannot find the way.

[terse kestrel]

A lot of those older videos are using a vertical glitch method that was patched out in update 3.12 a couple months ago. It was extremely unstable

It was way easier to do though.

The method in that video in the pins is the only one we have now

[digital bear]

I'm not so sure but... maybe I can try that window glitch on the video? I should test out. Thanks again.

[hallow field]

im struggling with hiding my shields and stuff on my ship build and i cant really get the clipping to work. im new to nms and tried looking up tuts on yt but they dont match with how im trying to clip stuff on my ship. anyone who is good at clipping able to help ? i could screenshare

[terse kestrel]

Yeah post a couple pictures of what you're trying to do.

[random zinc]

I'm low-key happy guns don't follow realistic collision on corvettes

[hallow field]

trying to hide everything on top of it but the weapons

to make it a bit more smoother looking

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

What you're looking for is offsetting. And potentially rotating your parts. These are really simple things to do that don't require a lot of fancy button work.

Offsetting parts by half a space at the top of your Corvette will allow you to mesh parts over all of those units

[hallow field]

ill look at those vids thanks wild

[pseudo charm]

is that right side up or..

[terse kestrel]

You can see in the picture of the top of the three Medusa reactors. The one in the middle is turned around. Allowing it to be placed in between the two facing forward

[pseudo charm]

oh whew. its a top view. Mitey was about to lose mind 🙂

[steep hawk]

How do I come up with a cool design but also make my Corvette have all the usefull stuff I need some inspo

[hallow field]

is it ok to dm you?

[frigid depot]

Anyone got any ideas about how I could get lights inside of a corvette railgun? (I want it in here, preferably red)

[frigid wren]

Perfection

[frigid depot]

Like, the only idea I’ve had is placing several dozen small red lights on the fuel rods

[abstract crow]

Those anomaly parts that look like a barnacle emitting a beam of light. No idea what they're called, but they do good at creating light. However, they hover slightly off the surface.

These things.

[frigid depot]

They also don’t go horizontally

Tried that already

[midnight harness]

They’re called light fissure’s lol

[frigid depot]

I FUCKING DID IT

It only took 36 small red light build parts but I did it

[mental hamlet]

Simple but efficient eh?

[marsh kelp]

Is it possible to make a big giant triangle as a corvette? Ive never made one before but I wanna start with something weird

Like a pyramid

[abstract crow]

Probably not without mods/Blender

[frigid wren]

Simple yeh, definitely not efficient

But it's the start of a providence class dreadnought.

[brazen lagoon]

Thunderbird marine Dropship! Very nice.

[carmine moon]

The Emperor protects!

[brazen lagoon]

It will take you anywhere!

[brazen lagoon]

Sweet!!

This is mine, and it maxed parts. Its big, six decks.

Yet I have fine tuned it to be agile and hard hitting

I honestly don't know what the stats mean but I was told the bigger the number the better.

I cant seem to increase the damage potential. Unfortunately the supercharged slots are all over the place.

[brazen lagoon]

For the Emperor!!

I am new to this game and this discord group. I hope I did not do something wrong.

[hoary agate]

All channels have rules in pins so u can be sure 😉

[brazen lagoon]

Thanky. I tend to be either hyperfocused of scattered. side effect of MS. which is terrible. so sorry if I miss something.

[cursive lark]

I don't see anything wrong, also welcome!

And I like that ship

[brazen lagoon]

[brazen lagoon]

[normal sable]

I am currently on the god module world. Let me know if any of you want to join my game to grind some of these for yourself

[copper cradle]

could i get some tips or opinions on my corvette?

im not good at this so any tips are helpful

[tawdry field]

try hiding the reactors

and try using different thrusters

as in have them not all be the same one

and maybe try adding some different cowling on top to make it look less flat

[ancient wing]

So it, begins the Anomalous corvette, I saw, I have been obsessed about, (that I have about 20 screen caps of) I have started my own take on it, now that I have figured out how.
If this strucutre looks familiar (it is yours) please speak up so I can give credit for the awesomeness!

as a related aside, I love dissecting "how did they do that", yes I was a terror with a screwdriver to my toys as a child

[carmine moon]

oh just for discord record i figured out what the issue is with the camera. its an issue with the decorative piece called Storage Panel. those cant be placed anywhere on the back of the corvette inbetween the cockpit and the 3rd person camera or the camera will be bouncing around all over the place.

[cursive lark]

Change some of the thrusters to the square ones, maybe round out the front corners a little

[long pawn]

I love it! I'd give it an 8.5. You put in a good, solid effort in building your corvette and it shows.

[manic sedge]

Thank you!

[long pawn]

To me, the reactors aren't an issue nor are the engines. Overall, I like the industrial feel of your corvette. The problem(?) is your front parts don't go well together. I suggest you play around with different cowlings, diffusers, etc... until all the pieces mesh together better. Don't be afraid to try some offset building. Also, don't be afraid of color or gloss. They can make a huge impression. Final suggestion... have fun!

[long pawn]

Any time.

[glacial copper]

Is anyone able to trade me some corvette parts for units?

[long pawn]

Sorry, I cannot. I'm in creative mode. So, I don't really have parts collected.

[glacial copper]

It's ok it was worth a shot lol

[long pawn]

OH WOW! Good job!

[long pawn]

Honestly, I like the first better.

[low saddle]

a very nice rebuild of the Mandalorian Gauntlet.

[glass surge]

Someone asked how big corvette builds can get in comparison to your base. This is my crab sonoshee next to a a Portal on a world i was visiting. It´s a 100 part build which is the max with no mods.

The corvette build area in space stations is 15 habitat walkways wide and length wise you have 1 exit ramp 6 normal habs of 2 x 1 then 1 hab walkway and then lastly a cockpit because that's the max lengthwise. I added some screen caps of a corvette i built in creative to measure it as well.

To me the Habitat walks ways are slightly larger than 1 base floor tile so that should be your measurement for comparison

[marble summit]

This already looks impressive. I know its facing front but this would also make an awesome thruster pack design

[spring berry]

hello guys, im a little be late, but how to build big corvettes like it?

[abstract crow]

Mods

Or blender.

[green brook]

what mods

[abstract crow]

Whatever mod removes the complexity limit and the larger build space mod.

[terse kestrel]

#nms-modding if interested ask there for mods, links and tips on how to install/use them

[tawny plaza]

I'm parked🙏 😭

[weak rune]

Here's my riff on the turbofan wing build. Using essentially the same build as last pic, just changing the front wing and cockpit location, changes the vib entirely. From a scout ship, previous build, to a hunter/killer.

[south nebula]

So, are short range teleporters broke in corvettes? Mine does not work. Lol

[somber apex]

Very streamlined

[mild pecan]

2nd is a design refresh and goddamn she already looked lethal but now she looks like death itself

I cooked

[tough plank]

Dang.

[terse ingot]

They work for no one unfortunately

At least not with mods

[tawny helm]

i can optimize it for ya

[abstract crow]

It'll take quite a bit of effort in blender, I'm sure. Most of it boils down to removing excess habs. Then the next issue is making the interior and bridge more seamless and polished.

[tawny helm]

i absolutely hate making interiors but i can use some mods that lets me put base parts like base teleporters n stuff

do you want me to start a completely new ship with the same shape and dimensions as the one you are requesting to get optimized?

[abstract crow]

You know what, sure. Take a stab at it. I'd love to see someone use a design of mine as a reference.

[tawny helm]

aight

sad that i cant see the underside tho

[abstract crow]

But this is a shot of the interior, so you know what you're working with. Empty, but large. Not hard to improve, I'm sure.

Underside is five habs wide, then triangular pieces to make a "keel" design.

[tawny helm]

im gonna remove the entire top roof part made of corvette parts and replace them with resized walls to make it smoother and less threatening to the gmae

[tawny helm]

can i get a side, rear front and bottom view if you can

[abstract crow]

I'm away from my PC, so I can't do bottom. But these should be the side and top views. Rear is just squared off with a bunch of rectangular engines.

[tawny helm]

dear god thats gonna need a lot of optimization

what type of bridge are we talkin

raised? attached to the front? or underneath

[abstract crow]

Bridge is up top. Elevated enough to see over the big-ass cannons.

Pretty wide, too.

[tawny helm]

do you want it to be on stilts?

like those venator class freighters

[abstract crow]

Nah. Attached to the, similar tova naval ship's bridge.

But mid-ship.

[tawny helm]

ok so its like curved right?

im gonna base it off the dimensions of the ship u sent

[abstract crow]

My bridge is just a rectangle due to my limited resources.

[tawny helm]

do you know how big the dimensions are?

[tawny helm]

i think its around 9 parts tall

alright thx

[abstract crow]

Those dimensions feel off to me. It didn't feel that tall, but Idk for certain.

[tawny helm]

whats the link?

[abstract crow]

Oh, the ship is set to private because it's not suitable for console (and potato PCs.)

I can't switch it, though I could probably ask them to

[tawny helm]

354 long?

[abstract crow]

I'm thinking that might be units and not blocks.

From memory, it's almost as wide as the space station, 3.5-4 Corvette build areas long, and maybe like 10 or 12 blocks high.

This might serve as a good reference

[tawny helm]

couting is hard

[tawny helm]

taking me forever just to find the measurement for 354

[abstract crow]

Whatever the distance measurement is on planets is how they measure ships, I think. How you could translate that to blocks, I have no idea.

[tawny helm]

for now, i will just make the frame and scale it until it fits the size

[abstract crow]

https://nomansapp.com/?corvette=1572167739

Hopefully you can call the service bot and get it delivered. Will probably be much easier.

[tawny helm]

alrighty

[tawny helm]

what moron decided to use 1x1 parts

[abstract crow]

🙁

[tawny helm]

was it you

[abstract crow]

I didn't really have a choice. I'm terrible with Blender and using 2x1 habs makes things soooo much worse.

[tawny helm]

you used blender for this build?

[abstract crow]

No. Only to enlarge the guns. Everything else was in a station.

[tawny helm]

then why'd you use 1x1 instead of 1x2

[abstract crow]

The only 1x2 blocks that aren't habs are ugly, imo

And like I said, more habs means things get worse for performance.

Like, a solid 5 fps when trying to place a new hab.

[tawny helm]

the reinforced hull aint that bad

[abstract crow]

I just don't like how it looks rounded.

[tawny helm]

btw, do u even use the lower habs?

the interiors eat a ton of fps

[abstract crow]

Most of them, no. That was one area I could fix without an issue. But the bridge and structural habs I struggled to fix because of where they're buried

[tawny helm]

thought so, i deleted most of them and replaced them with a few parts

[abstract crow]

If the short range teleporter worked, I could remove so many more because I wouldn't need stairs.

[tawny helm]

cut your ship into the floors, looks like there is a room full of empty space is great for performance

[abstract crow]

That was my intentions. Less habs/blocks, more room for rooms.

[tawny helm]

doesnt really need much optimization, its just the large ammount of habs

[tawny helm]

do you want to keep the atlas side parts or have them into more optimized and flatter parts?

[abstract crow]

The interior flooring is crooked, too. But that I can fix if I ever get around to it.

[tawny helm]

well thats gonna haunt me

[abstract crow]

If you think you could make them more optimized and maybe even longer (like two really stretched parts or something) go for it. They're the "hull" pieces I use.

[tawny helm]

huh?

you want me, to strech it EVEN MORE???

[abstract crow]

No. I mean instead of 200 of those wings or however many I used along the sides, maybe use two on each side, but stretch them out to cover half the length of the ship.
Lemme get a drawing

[tawny helm]

cant stretch, needs to be scaled all dimesions at the same time

[abstract crow]

Doing this on a phone, so don't judge me.

Red is the main hull of the ship. Blue are two forward facing wings that are elongated, yellow are two backwards facing wings, elongated.

If not possible, I'm not sure how you'd optimize them, but feel free

[tawny helm]

i will use rescaled white wall panels

[abstract crow]

Kinda like the design and coloring of the wings, but give it a shot anyways. May be my basic design, but you're in the pilot seat.

[tawny helm]

will see if it works

[open jolt]

does anyone know any cool ships with indepth interiors from https://nomansapp.com/?corvette=1572167739

[tawny helm]

@abstract crow im doneee

[abstract crow]

Let's see what you came up with

[tough plank]

I don't see it on SBA.

[tawny helm]

sba?

[tough plank]

Service Bot App.

[tawny helm]

still tryna post it

[tough plank]

Ahh.

[abstract crow]

The bot likes to take its time.

[tough plank]

It's there.

[tough plank]

Looks awesome, and the Solar Express.

[tawny helm]

Thx!

[abstract crow]

Honestly, surprised more blender experts don't offer to do requests. Unless they do and I just never see them.

[tough plank]

Agreed. Or I've also never seen it.

Maybe they get paid..?

[tawny helm]

I do some animating on the side so corvette requests are a great way to learn for me!

[tough plank]

Cool, soon I'm planing on getting into it.

Hopefully.

If I have time.

[tawny helm]

Mnice

[tough plank]

If not, I'll make time for it.

[mild pecan]

Spicey

[inland badge]

how do i remove walls inbetween habs like this? i would love a more spacious feel

[long pawn]

That would make a great picture for a new expansion!

[abstract crow]

You build around the space. Make a shell, basically.

[inland badge]

maybe i’m just dumb but im not sure i follow

[long pawn]

Not to throw a grenade at the fantastic @tawny helm and @abstract crow... but, I'm starting to feel uneasy about these super big builds made possible via Blender. They can cause a lot of problems for other players in the Anomaly.

While I trust @tawny helm and @abstract crowto not bring their creations there, what other players? Will they show restraint or will Anomaly be someday filled with trolls ruining NMS for others?

In addition, Blender builds really don't fit the spirit of corvette building, which is to be creative with the available parts. If Hello Games continues to allow this, where does this leave the game as a whole? It's one thing to design custom textures but developing ships never intended to be flown in this game is something else entire.

[terse kestrel]

It's the ame thing with bases though. People didn't start using Blender in NMS when corvettes came out. They had already been using it for years.

Also scaled up decorations carry a much softer load. Compared to Corvette parts you can have massive scaled up decorations at a fraction of the cost to your system and those around you. Because the size of decorations does not increase system cost.

Now when someone just turns off build limits and jams 350+ corvette parts together......that's really bad.

[long pawn]

Think of building your corvette like you're making a box. The parts make the outside.

[inland badge]

ah okay thank ya kindly!

[long pawn]

"Now when someone just turns off build limits and jams 350+ corvette parts together......that's really bad." For sure. We don't need flying DDOS attacks.

[long pawn]

"Also scaled up decorations carry a much softer load. Compared to Corvette parts you can have massive scaled up decorations at a fraction of the cost to your system and those around you. Because the size of decorations does not increase system cost."

I did not know that!

[short fractal]

Working on bridge for this

[clear trail]

Hello, where can I acquire the plasma core building part for corvettes?

[short fractal]

is there any mod where the follow camera in ship 3rd person is not so rigid? Like if I do a sharp left turn I want it to show the side of my ship as im turning instead of solidly behind all the time.

[tawny helm]

mine is like, more decoration then actual corvette

[buoyant orchid]

"Blender builds really don't fit the spirit of corvette building, which is to be creative with the available parts. If Hello Games continues to allow this, where does this leave the game as a whole?"

As much as I love and respect the idea of how limitations can actually help creativity, I don't think we can just assume or universally define what the spirit of corvette building is. Within the editor, sure. But overall, a lot of the spirit of the game is to NOT have prescribed things to do and you find what you like to do in this sandbox.

There are also some sorely missing types of parts, like covers or caps. Especially along the bow-stern axis, most parts don't fit together and don't fully cover cover habs under them.

Finally, there's more here than just building corvettes for the game. HelloGames made an incredible system of building a ship with "decorative" exteriors, functional components, and furnishable interiors - and all stored as essentially plain-text code of merely position data - not a care in the world about snapping points or other limitations. Those guides so that anyone can building something interesting - the code doesn't actually care how the parts are arranged.

I could be wrong, but this seems unprecedented to me. I searched for ship builds on Starfield and some other games and the possibilities (even if you do use the Base Editor or Blender) in No Man's Sky beats them. Only meticulous block-based builders like Space Engineers can beat NMS. The only part/piece-based builder I know of that was anywhere near this powerful was Spore.

All this to say, even people who don't care to actually play the game could use NMS just to build ships in way impossible before. I've had a certain spaceship design that I drew as a teenager that is very special to me because I ended having a vivid dream seeing it and commanding it.

With NMS, I can finally build it, bigger and better than in Spore, see an awesome 3D model of it, go INSIDE and furnish it, and even fly it. It's a literal dream come true. ❤️

[frigid depot]

People have been trolling since the launch of the game, blender has been used for bases for a long time.

The anomaly part I can agree with but it’s not like people haven’t been ”trolling” in there since way before corvettes came out, getting people stuck in a hole they can’t get out of for example.

[buoyant orchid]

I really hope it's fairly trivial for HelloGames to just make a new area for corvettes.

Console players can take the existing interiors. PC players dock outside the space stations at minimum just like the added dock on freighters.

[frigid depot]

With the service bot it's not an issue of wether it's pc or not, it's wether you import stuff from blender or not

[buoyant orchid]

What's the service bot?

Otherwise, I know it's more about about complexity, but I've mainly heard the sufferers being console players, which is why I said that might be the easiest split.

But again, I'm just saying the general idea. Need a separate area so that problematic corvettes don't affect those can be affected, and then we can all enable multiplayer and enjoy corvette ogling. 😄

[frigid depot]

Bot that delivers stuff to you, can deliver blender made corvettes

[hoary agate]

will it deliver 2k+ part blender corvette to console player? probably not

[frigid depot]

It will try

[hoary agate]

I mean . Yeah. But game will not like that

[abstract crow]

Will people try to have these colossal ships delivered and probably bring them to the anomaly? Probably. Will people troll intentional? More than likely. Will any of that stop me from building massive ships for the fun of it and sharing them with those who are genuinely interested in them? Absolutely not.

[spring folio]

hi, why do i have a unremovable photon cannon on my ship? I have 4 phasebeams but cant remove the cannon... WHY

[hoary agate]

It is how it is

I myself will never get used to the idea that we asked for ship building for 9 YEARS and once we got it people just started ordering pre-built ships 😂

[abstract crow]

If you're talking about the cannon in your tech slot, that's always going to be there.

[terse kestrel]

Took less than 6 months to go full circle

[abstract crow]

Tbf, I couldn't for the life of me build the 1:1 Star Destroyer.

[frigid depot]

The photon cannon tech shan’t go away

[buoyant orchid]

but should I build a 1:1 scale version of my dream ship mentioned above? 🤔

[twilit sundial]

Any chance we can have headlights on corvettes? Sometimes it's really dark out there ...

[twilit sundial]

You should check the editor in Kerbal Space Program. Beats the crap out of any editor on the market, especially with the Hangar Extension and EEX mods.

[terse kestrel]

You can simulate headlights by rotating your engine forward. Not exactly the same but still gives a really good visual effect

Then there's also decorative lights. Like those square emergency lights you get from derelict freighters. They make really good headlights for Corvettes.

But as far as projecting light forward so we can see things easier in front of us we don't have anything like that yet. It's pretty much just visual aesthetics

[twilit sundial]

During my raids on derelict freighters I haven't found anything like an emergency light that I could take with me. I'll check next time.
Rotating engines? I'm still trying to figure out how to circumvent the (way too) strict building rules.

[terse kestrel]

These are the items you can get from derelict freighters for decorations. You can only get them from the square boxes. Not the lockers or small containers.

[terse kestrel]

Pretty much all the tricks in that list are super simple to do. Doesn't require any fancy button work like a lot of the base build tricks/glitch methods

[twilit sundial]

Thanks! I really appreciate it

[cobalt sable]

How to choose which of 2 landig bays is default? I built second under corvette's nose and it came as default.

[twilit sundial]

Anyone ever just watch what happens with the "double parking" at the anomaly? I mean the stacking of ships inside of each other, and since ships are often invisible when that happens often players get trapped inside a different ship than their own and unwillingly becomes a hitch hiker. Is there a solution for that?

[terse kestrel]

Your default landing Bay that you teleport up to from the planet is whichever one is closest to the terrain at the time.

So if you have one access ramp on the bottom floor and one on a top floor it's likely going to default to that bottom access ramp each time.

If you are hovering over a hill and you have two access ramps on the same level you will teleport up to whichever access ramp is higher up the hill. Closest to the ground.

[cobalt sable]

On previous corvette it wasn't nearest

[terse kestrel]

This is just a byproduct of multiple people entering the anomaly at once before the system recognizes there are no more pads to land on. So it will land two ships on top of each other. Sometimes more.

This has been a problem for years with legacy ships. But it was never an issue because when you get out of the you spawn next to your ship. And just walk away. You don't get stuck inside of it like with Corvettes.

Hopefully with Corvettes they see the need to address the issue.

[twilit sundial]

Are you talking about teleporting from the surface? Yeah I had the same, rebuilt my corvette for a different reason and now I spawn beneath my cockpit as well.

@terse kestrel for some reason I cannot like your reply so I do it this way.

[cobalt sable]

Also spawned corvette lands with front side to me, like legacy ship

[twilit sundial]

Same here, except in one occasion.

[cobalt sable]

But before i rebuilt the corvette - it wasn't like that.

[twilit sundial]

Maybe it has to do with the order when they were placed.

[cobalt sable]

Wait, i need remove front landing bay, restart game, then add front one. Maybe 🤞

[twilit sundial]

That's what I'm thinking.

[cobalt sable]

I did without restarting, and it not worked

Thank you!

[twilit sundial]

Nice!

[south nebula]

Welp, turns out you don’t need one anyway cuz a teleporter just materializes wherever you start floating. Lol

They're the guns you fire from the cockpit. They don't move.

Free Build.

In normal difficulty

you can turn on just free build

otherwise, you have to grind for the parts.

[cedar widget]

Aww lame!!!

[low saddle]

trust me, I'd love to have a couple mounted like turrets to benefit when I have friends on my corvette.

Thankfully, my corvette is decently agile in combat, so I can catch and trash those pirate fighters or Sentinel interceptors with no problem.

[somber apex]

Choose some colors and paint finish options

[deep shore]

When i modified it there wansnt a color option did i just miss it?

[low saddle]

colour options - hit G

in edit

[bright hinge]

I'm trying to upgrade my Corvette for damage and maneuverability. I have 6 phase cannons mounted on the Corvette that you can see in the editor. But then when you go look at the technology slots, it only shows three phase cannons but I expected to see six. Why is that?

[abstract crow]

You'll only see at most three added to the tech slot for any part. Cannons are meh for damage anyways. Beam lyfe

[bright hinge]

Oh I meant phase beams! Yeah I'm trying to make sure I'm stacking them correctly

[abstract crow]

Same thing. You'll only get three regardless of how many you mount.

Multiple weapon types helps, as does a specific reactor and bobble head

[long pawn]

Yeah. Personally, I'd love for there to be a real in game market place feature where players could sell and buy blueprints of corvettes. But, pre-built ships gets a strong no from me. We should always have to build them from the landing gearon up.

[twilit sundial]

Apparently a lot of people don't like to build things.

[abstract crow]

Or they don't have the ability/know-how to build what they want to.

[ember agate]

Some people don’t got the time for a build my Milano ship took a good 2 hours to make how I wanted and even now one of the thrusters doesn’t (visually show it’s on) the blue thrusters so it looks wonky but I haven’t played in a while

[terse kestrel]

10 million sales....but less than 1% of those worth of views on most of the YT videos and popular tutorials for building.

Most people just build the basics of what they feel they need. Very few go in depth.

Aesthetic builders, blenders and glitch builders are a really niche community when you talk about the size and how few people do that stuff

[abstract crow]

If someone wants to build an exact replica (minus the size) of a Star Destroyer on console, they can't. The only way they can enjoy a ship like that is with a delivery. Any exact replica that requires blender is the same. That's the perks of being able to get ships delivered. Sure, building your own is fun and all, but having at least one proper replica is great. Even I have a 1:1 Star Destroyer to live out my fantasies. I could never even dream of building one even with a guide. I don't have the time

[tawdry field]

whats in the interior?

[ember agate]

(below the cockpit)

[tawdry field]

nice

[ember agate]

2026 is gunna be a year for marvel studios i just know it

[tawdry field]

doomsday better not be buns

its gonna be peak trust

[potent hearth]

hey

[obtuse latch]

Heya all, I have a request for a corvette build, if its possible could someone recreate the ADF-11F?

[cedar arch]

I will at some point today show off my Atlas corvette

[cedar arch]

Yeah right it’s anime’s year

Dr stone s4 finale
Chainsaw man s2
Jjk s3
Potential return of db super
More one piece
Next demon slayer movie
Tensura s4

[frigid depot]

More one piece is like saying ”earth will keep spinning” or ”sun will still be on”

[cedar arch]

No it’s not

[tawny helm]

probably more triangles

the sphere of pain and anguish

[fringe rose]

it's truly a sphere of suffering, i love it!

[slender flax]

That is massive

[dim crane]

If you land your corvette at the anomaly, swap it out for one of your regular ships, and then wait till all the corvette pads ares full, and then switch your docked ship to the corvette, you can have it on a normal landing pad

[warm breach]

is there a way to get these secret corvette parts?

[terse ingot]

afaik no

[warm breach]

not even a mod?

[terse ingot]

maybe with mods, i dont know about that

you could ask in #nms-modding

[tawny helm]

i think they are mods or scrapped models

[fair pilot]

The "unknown cockpit E" remind that wide cockpit from the Starfield a lot.

[terse kestrel]

They are not actually in the game files anywhere. They have not been uploaded into the game. Like they are just a placeholder so when they do inject them into the game they already have a place to go.

It's like the Aeron parts. They were not in the game files until they updated the game for the breach expedition. Nobody could use them before they did that

[lost plover]

so how do i delde corverttes that i dont want no more lol anyone found a way?

[terse kestrel]

Strip it down to its bare essentials and then sell it to an NPC for their ship

Only way to do it currently

[swift surge]

Wait has NMS updated again and there’s more corvette pieces to build with?

[lost plover]

no same parts just they fix some bug as what i can see but i must be wrong tooo lol

[swift surge]

Awww

Well at least they fixed some bugs

I needdddd moreeee things to build for ship pieces

[terse ingot]

i really want bigger habs (or the ability to remove & add walls between them) as well as doors

[swift surge]

Exactly

Interior doors are desperately needed

More cockpits too

[vagrant kestrel]

my bean

[tough plank]

My bean, I'm gonna steal it!

[warm breach]

did i cook?

[violet swallow]

Cant see the details very well because of the shadow, can you take a different angle?

[warm breach]

yes 1 sec

[warm breach]

here it is from a better angle, i also plan to add some stuff at the marked area to fill it more

[violet swallow]

Nice!

I think the "fang" design looks good

[warm breach]

also do you like the thing i did with the ladder?

[violet swallow]

Wow didnt even notice!

[warm breach]

that was the plan lol

[tough plank]

Heck yeah!

[dusk bone]

name: destroyer of worlds

i made it to farm salvage things for the expedition

used the parts to make this

[ember agate]

i love anime but not more than marvel lol

[warm breach]

isnt that a bit much?

[dusk bone]

made some changes to it this is an old ss

[ember agate]

bros stuck in the upside down.....

[cedar arch]

Well it’s still anime’s year next year
Solo Leveling s3
Frieren s2
Black clover s2

[ember agate]

that would mean theres more hype around the anime shows than the marvel titles comming out that year and to tell me something will be more popular than DoomsDay..... and the new spiderman uh no, black clover is on s4 and its done? along w the 2024 movie we waiting for season 5 now

[ember agate]

i will say i wanna see black clover more cuz we last left off when asta making a contract/friendship w his devil

[cedar arch]

Marvel is dead

So is Disney

Anime won

[ember agate]

dude really? thats like me saying some dumb thing and saying everything you just spout out your mouth is dead

you cant say somethings dead when YOU DONT like it like

[cedar arch]

Can you take apart a pc

[ember agate]

? what are you blabbin on about i thought we was talking about a topic?

[cedar arch]

Goku vs all of martat once then Goku wins

[ember agate]

and yeah i can cuz i upgraded my pc before

like alot of people have

[ember agate]

yeah ok ur a child

[cedar arch]

I’m not

[ember agate]

giving child vibes talk to someone

you are if you rnot making sense when we were were talking about a topic and your childish behavior was like "can u take apart a pc doe?"

"but what if goku vs all of marvel"

thats

........child like behavior

[cedar arch]

Listen I saved up a lot of money for my setup

[warm breach]

i wish i could send sound effects through chat

[abstract crow]

Gunter! They're straying away from corvettes!

[low saddle]

taking one apart is easy... it's the "Can you Build one?" that is the real question.

I Honestly know I could never build a minimalist corvette.. I can't build a corvette without needing at least all 10 cargo cans.

some Refiners for emergency use..

and so, my angry Dorito exists.

[elder iron]

My version of minimalist corvette requires 3 habs worth of interior space minimum

Even the smallest one I've made that I felt looked good has 1 hab of space rather than a walkway

[low saddle]

my angry dorito

[abstract crow]

I can't do minimal.

[elder iron]

Im always a fan of corvettes that have space for windows

[low saddle]

~6 Ambassador habs up on the second level for crew deck (Still trying to find a chair that you can actually sit in that I can build), and like 8 Titan Habs below on the main deck.

and she's all I fly, because I've run into a few of those derelict wreck freighters that have actual internal space where you go in and get at cargo cans like it's a ground-wreck in addition to the floating pods.

[abstract crow]

The smallest ship I built was probably three habs (and a few blocks) long, two habs high, and riddled with style.

[low saddle]

and here's how to tell you've got internal cargo cans - if the derelict is in fairly intact shape, but has a hole blown into it, you've got the usual four spots inside the hull to grab cargo cans.

like if you stumbled on a wrecked freighter on the ground

[elder iron]

Its like that because its the same type of model

[wheat cairn]

is this ok for my first corvette?

[woeful zodiac]

looks ok

[elder iron]

I can see windows, the cockpit, and coherent design. I'd call that pretty good

[wheat cairn]

thank you

[tough plank]

What's with the windows?

[long pawn]

Definitely!

[long pawn]

Neither can I. No matter what my original intentions were, I just keep building and building. Thank goddess there's a 100 part complexity limit or I'd be building corvettes the size of dreadnoughts with thousands of pieces.

[swift surge]

I think the complexity needs to be upped a little

Maybe like 250

Or 200

[long pawn]

I like it! Could you take a couple more pictures of your corvette in better lighting conditions? It deserves to be showcased better. 🌟

[long pawn]

I'm on the fence about that. On one hand, it'd be great to be able to do more, especially when working on a corvette inspired by Star Wars.

But, on the other hand, the current complexity limit benefits the game as a whole. No one wants a flying DDOS attack in their game.

[fair pilot]

Anyone managed to build structure that will allow corvette landing?

Or eve summoning. Preferably without mods and ground leveling.

[long pawn]

That's an interesting corvette! I particularly like its shape.

[elder iron]

I love windows, and its rather difficult to incorporate them in a design that looks nice

[random zinc]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I like how the "hamster cheek" ones look.

[elder iron]

I like all the windows, I would have them everywhere, but if you want your corvette to have the sides, front, and/or back to be anything but flat, its really hard to use windows in a way that looks nice

A lot of the really detailed corvettes lack windows for that reason

Oh and since they count as a wall module, smaller corvettes often either have windows and practically no modules, or modules but no windows

[low saddle]

I like how it looks like an upsized fighter.

[elder iron]

How did i miss that

[low saddle]

you were thinking Corvette while looking at it

[elder iron]

True

In my permadeath save, I'm basing my corvette off a shuttle I got near the start

[low saddle]

guy said "So did I do OK with my design?" and I'm like "Well let's look what we see...." the front gave the whole big-fighter energy off.

[elder iron]

Yeah I still dont know how I missed it because I cant unsee it, lol

[low saddle]

slip in perspective, it happens.

doing a build like that with something like some fighter styling would be pretty gnarly... try to emulate an Omega nose and Hardframe wings..

[tough plank]

Got it.

[keen sparrow]

I've been repeatedly pecking away at this but I think I've reached a final, settled design. For my taste, it's peak "dropship" aesthetics.

I got some nice blending of parts in key spots

There are five habs in there

Thus far I've only got her upgraded to Class B, but she's still managing over 1100 maneuverability

Supercharged Photon Cannon armament

This is an earlier iteration:

I need to get some more landing shots of this version

[elder iron]

That is a really cool ship, and an example of what I mean about lots of cool, detailed corvettes not having the space for windows, lol

[keen sparrow]

So...INSIDE...

[glass surge]

I would imagine in real life you'd want minimal windows for ionizing radiation in a game about space / fanatsy it's probably fine

[keen sparrow]

Troop seating

Galley / armory and gangway to flight deck

Quarters

Engineering Bay

Captain's quarters on flight deck plus a "jump seat" for a guest

[frigid depot]

Why do you need my nose?
(This doesn’t work as well while I’m under a pact punishment)

[keen sparrow]

And finally, the flight deck looking forward because I like having plants:

Plus, Gravitinos and Frostwort go off so frequently I can always be harvesting them

In practical terms it's quick to run in and out

But looks great

[low saddle]

I meant the Omega nose that you can get for the Fighters

[keen sparrow]

This is a WIP, a compact Infra-Knife focused gunboat:

I love how the Ambassador boosters look, but at the same time they're also hard to use

They sort of dictate the design language of the rest of the ship, because harsh angular shapes don't look right next to them

[elder iron]

Have you seen how thick the glass is on the windows?

[swift surge]

That’s pretty fair actually. Not everyone is running on NASA PCs

I will say that’s what community planets felt like last time I played

999 ping vs .5 ping

[glass surge]

probably inches and inches thick IRL; I use to live close to where the NASA Shuttles landed and it would wake you up with a Sonic BOOM!

[elder iron]

The craziest windows are the ones on freighters, though

[wheat cairn]

Hey, sorry for the late response, but do you think you can give me any design feedback?

[ancient wing]

That's pretty great whether a first, 3rd or 10th Corvette, the Arcadia Heavies are notoriously a pain to design cohesively around. From the rear, in my opinion the rear looks repetively busy, but not overwhelmingly so. I would personally swap, the 2 lowest Radiator ducts for 2 Radiator Casings , but that is me. Otherwise, I am also a fan of using the turbines in the manner you have.

[wheat cairn]

Thank You!

[ancient wing]

Is that 2 Ambassador Sublights, flipped and stacked?

[keen sparrow]

No, on top those are Ambassador Heavy Boosters

I got them positioned such that they blend in with minimal clipping

The bottom pieces in the back are Vesper Diffuser Rims

Speedbird Nacelles in the front

I snuck a Zenith reactor into the center of it all

[glass surge]

I see your on PC steam so my first piece of advice is to make sure you're not using TAA Anti Aliasing settings and set the right Anti Aliasing for your GPU (FSR AA for AMD and and DLSS / DLAA for Nvidia) also when take pictures in Photomode always use F12 on steam. Move the sun around to light the areas you want help on by moving the mouse around and hitting F in photomode.

No mans sky with default TAA and left click takes pictures that look blurry and the anti aliasing especially on sharp edges looks like stairs.

I don't like the radiators by the windows as it looks out of place and you have way to many at the back; i would consider putting sharper Arcadia blades, or any of the Supercruise / argonaut aerofoils near the windows or use something like the speedbird diffusers for a more round look.

You really want the front of the ship to be as smooth as possible for whatever look you go for so their is minimal maneuverability penalty you even want weapons as hidden as possible but if you don't mind the speed penalty then ignore that advice.

For me the back is too busy with radiators, i would put more smoother decorations behind the rockhoppers, make sure the Arcadia Heavy boosters along with the Kineostream Thruster are the first placed as anything beyond three boosters will become decorations and not apply to stats and Twin echo jets are generally weaker for maneuverability.

Instead of the radiators on the back of the habs you could use Hull Decorations like Arcadia Blade, Arcadia Stabilizer or anything in the hull decoration to build that area out.

IF you don't have pieces you can always switch crafting to free in settings and change it back when you're done

[ruby swan]

build limit 💔

[wheat cairn]

when i delete the twin jets the manoeuvrability goes up but when i add them back its goes down, how do i fix this

[glass surge]

delete all the twin echo jets, apply the edits , check the engines you want are in the tech slots and then do new edits and add those back, save the edits and you should just have the bigger engines in tech slots

[wheat cairn]

thank you

[keen sparrow]

I do love me some twin echo jets on certain builds though

Oh yeah I just remembered I have a question about a build I have in mind

It’s asymmetric with like, a larger cargo section and then a cockpit “pod” to the side

I tried something like it before but the camera didn’t like it in first person

It was not an issue of blocking; it glitched

So, is it possible to use a cockpit off center like that?

[copper cradle]

ive been working on it. what are your thoughts?

[cursive lark]

Yup, I have an asymmetrical build kind of like what you're asking, when I'm home I'll grab a pic for you

[neon flume]

@coarse wharf stop trying to take credit for propzies and darth klapens corvettes, they are literally on the bot with their names on it, thats disgusting behavior and youre banned from all 3 of our servers.

[long pawn]

It looks like a heavy assault craft corvette for a mercenary group. It's pretty damn cool as is.

I'm also getting hovercraft vibes from it. What'd look like if you popped some rockhopper wings on it?

[cursive lark]

Nice box. I like it

We need more boxy ships

[long pawn]

That's what he said...

[eager jungle]

how do i get other parts for the corvette

all i can buy is the basic ones

[glass surge]

You would have to find a planet or moon that says salvageable scrap, farm some parts, and then trade them at the corvette terminal for better ones.

Or set crafting to free in the difficulty settings build your corvette and then turn it off again

[civic tendon]

My only opinion is that the cockpit and the window above it should trade places

[pseudo charm]

well now THAT is a good use of the ambassador thrusters there!

Mitey not sure how to solve this problem. Just managed to add two big thrusters to go along with the other mini thrusters attached.. but then not sure how to make the thruster look integrated. Right now.. it looks like its hanging loose?

[keen sparrow]

Thanks!

[pseudo charm]

you're welcome! Now someone fix my problem! hahhaha

[jade viper]

well this is definetly more attached

[pseudo charm]

how did you get that attached to the thing? is that the uh. the one bent cover dohickey?

[jade viper]

pardon

[pseudo charm]

one moment will look up the part name that Mitey thinks you used

[pseudo charm]

thermal Grille Cap?

[jade viper]

the grille cap and fuel pod cover are offset

[pseudo charm]

oh offset. okay

[jade viper]

its a little smoother if you just use the hardframe diffuser rim

[fair pilot]

My daily question - any floor tile or other parts built in huge numbers or huge enough themselves allows the corvette to land?

It clerarly recognizes the floor panels, but don't want to land there...

[pseudo charm]

there's nothing yet that allows corvettes to land. YET. 🙂

[fair pilot]

I've seen some player made giant panels through glitches or mods, and they worked

[tame patio]

Pov: you completed the corvette expedition.

[deep shore]

Friend: how does that even fly?
You: it works. Its fine. Theres never too much

[tame patio]

I've flown in a ship with an engine at the end of a very long glass pipe so this mess can fly just as well.

That's exactly how my corvette looked after this expedition - a complete mess of parts

😭
im sorry

[tepid arrow]

This is EXQUISITE, why are you apologizing?

[jade viper]

i hate this thing with every fiber of my being

[tepid arrow]

Honestly I wish you could like, share corvette schematics cuz I would LOVE this

[tepid arrow]

I like it

it's SUPER close to the original

[jade viper]

im pretty sure you can

[tepid arrow]

I can?

[jade viper]

well kinda

theres a bot you can use to share ships but thats about all i know

[hasty pollen]

Bro I need a feature like that

I made a star destroyer and one of my friends wants to copy it exactly but there’s no real easy way to accomplish that

[tepid arrow]

We could always give the devs a bit of convincing

[hasty pollen]

😏

[jade viper]

you can copy ships through the expedition and trade them to a friend using npc's as a middle man

[hasty pollen]

Bro I tried that once and lost an exotic lol

Npc disappeared

Bro just phased out of existence

[jade viper]

oh yikes
i just heard that works

[hasty pollen]

And took my ship with lol

[hasty pollen]

Yea I think we just weren’t fast enough, and I had two of em so it’s cool

[keen sparrow]

Gotta “export” all the pieces you find

[jade viper]

i say put em all on a ship and copy that ship

[tame patio]

I did that and dropped them off and ended up trading it for a sell ship.

[random zinc]

Should I sacrifice usability for apparent (but functionally not applicable) physical "feasibility"?

Basically I have a gun behind a gun and this makes my shooting at salvage containers more accurate, but if "real" physics were involved (which it obviously isn't), the gun in the rear would be shredding the gun in front when it fires.

[elder iron]

Nah, doing that would be similar to avoiding clipping parts

[random zinc]

Which I do, when I can, but the added aspect here is a functional difference.

[elder iron]

You avoid all clipping?

[random zinc]

Currently I avoid visually "infeasible" things as a result of clipping

[elder iron]

I only avoid clipping into hab spaces

[random zinc]

in what's visible, the only clipping I have is a shield generator buried in some plating

I do have 180 rotated stacked reactors, but it's not visible

[grizzled flower]

Why when I am building a corvette does it say Unable to finalize all modules must be connected when they are all CLEARLY connected?

[elder iron]

I used heavy scaffolding on my permadeath corvette to make the dang azimuth reactors look properly supported. So theyre clipped into it

[elder iron]

Do you have decorations on the corvette?

[grizzled flower]

one window

[elder iron]

I mean ones youd place when walking inside/outside

[grizzled flower]

nope Fresh build

[random zinc]

are any parts a ghostly red color?

[grizzled flower]

no everything looks good

[elder iron]

If its a fresh build, then id say something is hiding somewhere

Could even be a gun or something hidden in other parts that decided it isnt connected to anything

[random zinc]

did you intentionally or unintentionally glitch stuff inside other stuff?

[elder iron]

I dont think id call it glitching but thats semantics

[random zinc]

like by removing something that something else was snapped to?

I consider that glitching but I'm not shy to use it

[elder iron]

It would be more of an exploit

[grizzled flower]

This game glitches ALOT for me Last time I had an awesome ship built I had the same error. Changed the name of the ship and that fixed it!

[elder iron]

Hmm... was this a fresh ship that you were working on and then quit the game before finalizing?

[grizzled flower]

Ok completely tore down the ship started from scratch and made sure it was all good and the same message. This is my 4th corvetter is that to many perhaps?

[elder iron]

No, that shouldn't be the problem

[grizzled flower]

So the game sucks! It may be time to get into star citizen!!!

[elder iron]

Would you be able to share screenshots of what you are seeing?

[grizzled flower]

Im in VR so screen shots suck and all you will see is a ship with the message across the screen

I will try

[elder iron]

A visual could help, but I have no idea how a vr screenshot gets translated to flat screen

[terse kestrel]

Sounds to me like they have a part meshed under the floor.

[grizzled flower]

That can even happen?

[terse kestrel]

Yeah. You may be able to look around the floor in the build area while you're in build mode and see the outline of something under the floor. Or when you hover over it with the cursor you will see it's shape outlined in the floor.

[grizzled flower]

How about if the ship is super wide and long? Besides part count is there a size limit?

[ruby swan]

tried to make a mellinium falcon but ran into complexity limit :/

[elder iron]

You could have a corvette with 1 landing gear, 1 cockpit, 1 reactor, 1 gun, 1 thruster, and 95 habs if you wanted to, lol

[cursive lark]

Yes but it's very big

[feral trellis]

Will they add turrets so my homie can shoot while he is on my ship??

[median sinew]

Has anyone tried to make a starhawk class capital ship?

[grizzled flower]

Bigger than the circle you build in? I ampoking out the sides quite a bit

[random zinc]

with six trails installed, what colors can I get?

[cursive lark]

Whichever you installed most recently, they don't stack

[cursive lark]

No it's about the size of the landing pad

[random zinc]

it's definitely not the most recent

chromatic overrides everything else

[cursive lark]

Might have been changed, I know certain bobble heads take priority. They may have made this the same for trails

[random zinc]

given six trails, I want to know my color options before spending qs

[hollow trail]

Can you make more than one corvette?

[random zinc]

yes

[hollow trail]

Good, because I like building them and I wanna have multiple. If only I could give them to other players

[median sinew]

I have a question, is this possible to make?

[nimble stirrup]

most likely

people always find a way

[long pawn]

I finally made a Firebox corvette. I used only parts which fit. Firebox cowlings, engine covers, etc... Not exactly a stellar performer like an Aeron build I still think it's cool looking.

[amber stone]

does the medi pod in the corvette do anything? I just built one, but can't seem to interact with it

[warm lake]

looks good!

[glass surge]

it's only decorative right now

[cursive lark]

Only decorative, unless you place a health station on the floor and then the pod on top of it, which will make it functional

Kinda

[amber stone]

T_T

Time to build a health station in that case

[frigid depot]

You know that just as much as we do
Maybe, maybe not, we don’t know what HG are adding before they add it

[true salmon]

Blender /builder people, do you ever encounter this issue where the interaction icon on a resized cockpit just wont show up? -_- ive tried placing the cockpit everywhere and it just wont show the icon to actually get into the cockpit, like itll rather show me the expanding gadget interaction from the other side of the ship than the cockpit right next to me

[fervent mist]

Have they added any new interior rooms?

[spark rover]

Yes

[tawny helm]

definetly possible in blender

[terse kestrel]

@west quest #nms-corvette-discussion message

[ancient wing]

yes, but anything more "vertical" is either going to involve, exporting your save, and app building int to get parts rotated that don't rotate easily, or do the super finicky rotation in game.

ex:

[median sinew]

I tried to see if it can even be built proportionally in the area that the game allows us, and yes, it can physically be built

I'm thinking of making it 11 habs long and 8 tall, I have yet to figure out the width

[median sinew]

Although, acquiring the amount of parts I'll require will take a week or two

[ancient wing]

this I think total is 11 by 7

10x7

and I can't take credit for the design, I wish I knew who I could credit, (blame for my obsession)

and I have to say, after playing around in Creative building a corvette with 224 parts, with the entire palatte available to me, it was kind of awesome having the constraints of the Expedition again.

[terse kestrel]

I think some of the most creative builds are the pure vanilla ones that people manage to look good.

They have to work within the constraints and confined rules that limit their creativity.

[cursive lark]

That's why I don't install mods and the only glitch I've used is offseting

It's more fun with constraints

[terse kestrel]

It's like if you have two sculptors work on similar stones. And you give one a hammer and chisel. While the other gets a full workshop and an apprentice.

Sure the one with a full kit will be more detailed. But it forces the other to be extremely creative in their design. Since they have less to work with

[ancient wing]

I think there are different definitions and avenues of creativity, because you can have all the kit in the world, and have something look like jumbled washed out nothing. Constraint is still there, the question is how and who applies it.
Even within the confines of Vanilla, we could stick at least one of every engine on a build, but we don't because it'd look a hot mess.

but I do agree, I want to know, and I am also very up front with the "built using mods, and exported saves" because sculpting is different than painting, and even within painting, painting with watercolor, is different than painting with oils and pastels, (which allows sculpting and textures water color does not) the tools are important

[formal basalt]

I know it looks terrible but I'm new to the game so it's gonna have to do the job for now 😭

[cursive lark]

If it works it works, one of my favorite things is building a terrible looking Corvette when I start a save and slowly upgrade it

Maybe take that ambassador heavy booster off and wait to make the ship bigger though

Or remove the part behind it and move it back a bit

[terse kestrel]

The USS Todd Howard

"it just works"

[tight turret]

Hello. I may have been hallucinating, but I seem to recall that you can replace existing parts with something else with a button ie: replacing a photon cannon module with an infra knife module directly.

Does it exist?

[tight turret]

Nvmnd figured out a workaround

[sly frigate]

how many corvettes am I allowed to have per save?

[cursive lark]

They act like normal starships, so up to twelve if they're all you have

[ancient wing]

I think one of the Alien races in Star Citizen has a ship that could have a similar silhouette. but as WSZF points out, it just works, anything that works, just does. and I love NMS narrative conceit for why.

[tepid arrow]

Has anyone ever made a "Ascendant Pillar"? Basically a large Corvette version of the Radiant Pillar?

Or even the Omega Vector, which is the same thing but with the Alpha Vector?
