[proud forge]

Is there a way to get a prebuilt corvette?

[autumn obsidian]

I'm not sure I can go away from this cockpit

[hollow night]

Yes

[hollow night]

Bo

[elder iron]

Yeah, pc has it the same, just where you can bind a specific action there to the number keys

[proud forge]

Bo what

[hollow night]

If you want a corvette
You have to build a corvette

[proud forge]

What if I don’t wanna spend all my time building one

[elder iron]

Make a basic one

Like the starter the game guides you to

[proud forge]

But who wants a basic corvette

[elder iron]

I feel like most of the fun with corvettes is being able to build them yourself

[tough plank]

Agreed.

[tough plank]

Some people.

[tough plank]

Then don't.

[proud forge]

Seems like I have too

[tough plank]

You can use a normal ship. But they kind of suck.

[hollow night]

Bro if you want a corvette then make one
If you dont want to make one then you dont want a corvette
Literally the entire point of a corvette is creativity and modularity
Modularity can only be taken advantage of if you are willing to build
Creativity and uniqueness is only possible if you build your own

Plus their are tutorials if you dont want to try

[proud forge]

Duh

[proud forge]

I agree

[tough plank]

If you want you could use NMA to deliver a corvette. But you still have to make a basic one.

Like this one. I got it delivered.

[proud forge]

Yeah I have a basic one I’ll show you it

[tough plank]

Cool.

[manic salmon]

how do I go in between 2 hight levels?

[tough plank]

Offset building.

[proud forge]

i just dont like the inside of it thats my only issue

[manic salmon]

does the cargo pod do anything? if yes, what?

[proud forge]

i have no idea im new

[elder iron]

It adds cargo slots, but only 3 cargo adding tech can be active at a time

[proud forge]

i have three thunderbird walkways would you recommend scrapping that and replacing it with cargo pods

[elder iron]

If you want, I dont recall how much of a difference theyd make

[shut tusk]

swapped a few things around and got a new fastest in-atmosphere speed of 913u/sec in a corvette

[manic salmon]

Is the arcadia heavy booster just bugged? It seems to have an invisible box around it

[neat cypress]

are suspicious packets considered contraband for phase 4?

[random zinc]

you can do better, but you have to make sacrifices

[random zinc]

probably better to ask in #nms-expedition but I'm pretty sure the answer is no

[frigid badge]

Blasphemy. It's fine as is

[halcyon sky]

Is that speed with the Honest HUD speed mod installed? (or whatever it's called)

[dark juniper]

No.

[shut tusk]

no

[shut tusk]

i dunno man, i have all perfect x class supercharged mods and everything adjacent with all star trails etc. gonna be hard to squeeze more out of it

different ship type would be faster but i want to keep my micro vette

[novel mulch]

Does anyone else’s corvette turn REALLY slow

[novel mulch]

I wanna do this now

[shut tusk]

heres my layout

[novel mulch]

Thanks

[tawdry field]

I got a bunch of new blueprints for the trails and figures from the quicksilver vendor but i cant install them

I think it might be a bug since i slso cant install the liquidator parts for my minotaur

they just dont appear

[ripe path]

yeup

mine turns slow too

[vital nest]

Does diffrent corvet modules of the same type like shield modules, give diffrent bonuses?

When you hover over then and placing them the bonuses amout to diffrent numbers

[hoary agate]

Order of placement maters imo

[vital nest]

is there a video that explains this correct placment order?

[hoary agate]

I dont think so

[vital nest]

can there be a difference in the amount of salvage on planets with salvage, so one planet has more then another?

[hoary agate]

Proc gen can affect density of scrap. If there is an ocean on planet for example

[simple jasper]

found this interesting build in the anomaly

[arctic jetty]

Wait so that's all one ship just made to look like a fleet?

[simple jasper]

yeah

hella impressive build

[arctic jetty]

Thats.. cool as hell to be honest. I think my warhammer cruiser is cool, then I see something like this and get blown away

[simple jasper]

what type of cruiser u got

[vital nest]

well i guess would a barent planet be better to salvage on then a lush planet?

[arctic jetty]

Did my best to build a dictator class

I thought the bot was yelling at me before I read it XDDD

[simple jasper]

was confused bout that T T

[simple jasper]

kinda curious to see it

[arctic jetty]

Took these the other day :)

[hoary agate]

Probably. Im not sure 100%

[simple jasper]

damnn looks hella nice

[arctic jetty]

4 hours of struggle to get this piece of crap flying

XDD

[arctic jetty]

Tyry!! :D

[simple jasper]

tbh looks lore accurate wish they increased the build limit

might make the thunderhawk as a second build

[arctic jetty]

Same lol. And tysm, it's at exactly 100 build pieces, no mods used for it XD

[arctic jetty]

Please ping me with an image if you do, that would be amazing

[simple jasper]

sure sure gonna put it with salamander colours cause vulkan lives

[arctic jetty]

Hell yeah!

I've been using ultramarine colors for now, but they're not really my chapter, thinking of trying to go with battle sister colors

[simple jasper]

the argent shroud would be a good colour scheme

[arctic jetty]

Ohhh, yeah

Either that or the lady

I like the shroud better tho

[simple jasper]

same iirc there very active at every front

[random zinc]

that would unfortunately be the sacrifice

[dark juniper]

Yes, this is a bug affecting all people claiming their blueprints from the quicksilver shop for the first time #nms-commands message

[weak rune]

Question out to the builders here. The first build loses aprox 400 maneuverability after corvette station and then using it for a bit. While the second loses over 800. Any explanation for the delta between 9% and 18%?

Or in other words is there something I can do to reduce the loss?

[eager sky]

Two things. One could be that you just had really bad rolls for stats, which sucks. Two could be that if you changed sector, the stats changed based on said sector's seed, which is apparently a thing.

Conclusion, probably not much you can do aside from maybe changing sectors

[weak rune]

Do you mean the sector that the corvette is built in? The first has always lost around 400, the second is a new build.

[eager sky]

No, apparently the sector you're in affects stats, so one sector might have certain stats while if you fly the ship to the next, that selfsame ship can have different values. Admittedly I haven't noticed such myself, but then I'm not keeping a close eye on stats between sectors

[weak rune]

Things that make you go hmm 🧐

Will wait and see what happens next sector, prefer riding in the second corvette, straight into the cockpit no stairs.

[terse kestrel]

This has never been confirmed. And the idea it does make a difference is based in ship fabricator for legacy ship building being system based.

No one has found any system that favors higher Corvette stats or any improved base. If they existed we would all have the coordinates on hand to share with others

[elder iron]

Im not even sure which form of stats the work in progress thing shows. If its the base stats, itll be extremely difficult to figure that out because functional corvette parts count as tech, which changes the stats

[weak rune]

If you're talking about the two vette's above they show base stats, first ends up around 4500 and second ends up at 4000

[elder iron]

But that isnt the base stats

I dont think ships can generate with base stats over 1k

[weak rune]

Oh, those

Both were around 950 or so

[still token]

wasnt there some kind of app that let people build corvettes or something last i heard about it was a while ago and i cant remember what it was called

[terse ingot]

nomansapp?

or wait building yourself was the base builder app probably

[terse kestrel]

Blender

#nms-modding

The base builder app allows you to bypass build restrictions and increases your available build size significantly

[still token]

yus thankya

[fallen quiver]

I need these aeron parts, is anyone willing to trade ?

[frigid depot]

If you wait 3 days the expedition to unlock them will become available

[buoyant orchid]

Once a huge glitch / Base Builder build is finished, anyone else go around trying to carefully "excavate" unnecessary parts to recover space for habs? 😅

[abstract crow]

I spent about three hours carefully deleting habs and excess parts to make my ship remotely usable. Then, by adding several prefabs with planters, I created a new lag spike that I might need to address.

Not quite certain if it's indeed my hydroponics section creating the random freeze that lasts for three seconds, but I'm hoping it's that simple.

[elder iron]

Are you talking about regular base parts on a corvette?

[smoky anchor]

Trying to push past the 3k mark in maneuverability and hyperdrive range both, can anyone point me in the best direction to do so?

My current corvettes stats as they sit now

[buoyant orchid]

Wow, yeah ok, I figure others might have to do this lol. Had to use the Base Editor first to find my openings and not delete stuff I can't replace but a BIG thing I'm realizing here is also...

Finding and cleaning up lost / accidentally-added parts! 🤣

[elder iron]

Both? Ive had an easier time getting maneuverability up compared to hyperdrive range

[elder iron]

Show the tech layout

[buoyant orchid]

I didn't think I could recover so much space from the "wings" of my huge corvette, though I also knew the volume should have allowed for it. Base Builder helps so much.

Now the big question is do I stuff it with habs or keep it as an open space... the ship layout is pretty much already planned out, I don't need more space, haha.

[abstract crow]

Habs = more lag and strain. I use open spaces now

[buoyant orchid]

I guess you never know what might trigger a glitch but I have a hydroponics habs with shrunken planters and it's been fine for me.

[buoyant orchid]

If it was me you were asking, no, just parts that are buried now that were used for snap points.

I still had overlapping habs in here lol.

[abstract crow]

I have about 8x14(?) in the front of my ship.

Might be less. I never counted.

[smoky anchor]

Tech layout

[buoyant orchid]

hydroponics space? And what unitss are those? 8 what, 14 what? lol

[abstract crow]

8 singular boxes x 14 prefab building pieces

Just in case someone downloads my ship and wants tons of plant space. Didn't know what else to put in the nose of my ship.

[elder iron]

If those are the normal base pieces, I wouldnt be surprised if they contributed lag

[abstract crow]

I mean, I'm sure everything creates some lag when it needs to be loaded in. But I'm not sure how bad it is compared to habs, for example.

[buoyant orchid]

I don't know if we have a glossary of measurement standards so I'm still confuesd haha, though I'm sure the buiding pieces you mean like the full size floor tiles and wall lengths, right?

[elder iron]

Well, one primary difference would be that habs were designed with the intention of being part of a moving ship

[buoyant orchid]

But Roadworthy thinks habs create more lag. Disagree?

Personally I'd think it's more about just how many different objects are visible at once.

[abstract crow]

Believe me, with some of the more insane ship designs with hundreds, if not thousands of base parts in them, that's not the issue.

[buoyant orchid]

from typical expectation + what I feel I've noticed.

[elder iron]

Out of corvette parts, habs are the most intensive

[elder iron]

Yeah, but prefabs?

Hydroponics?

[buoyant orchid]

Ok, undertsanble. Most details surely, tris, etc.

[abstract crow]

I've seen massive floating farms with hydroponics. If anything, it's the fact that the prefabs probably have to load in their interiors like habs do.

[elder iron]

And, regardless, the habs were coded with that problem in mind

[elder iron]

And the cubes have more dynamic connection stuff, making a larger interior space

[smoky anchor]

Personally I "feel" like the less Habs/parts the less laggy the ship feels in flight. The couple massive ships I have lag more often when approaching frigates and entering atmospheres. But from experience the most lag is made by the power your vette makes. I have one with 5k maneuverability and it lags the most out of everything I fly

[buoyant orchid]

What prefabs are you talking about? Cubes?

[elder iron]

I think i saw cubes mentioned. Theyre generally less complex than rooms and halls, but the interiors can be completely open to other cubes

The thing is, even if you have a 3x3x3 room of cubes, all 27 cubes are still there

Even though the center cube isnt rendered

[abstract crow]

Regardless, if all else fails, I delete them and just keep the nose empty. There's more than enough stuff in here to make my corvette feel like a freighter.

[buoyant orchid]

@elder ironSo in general - if performance is a concern - you think it probably IS a better idea to use open space when possible rather than habs, for massive builds?

[buoyant orchid]

My nose is for drone storage and the drone control room. :>
Also a small enginge room for the nose thrusters.

[elder iron]

Probably, though there could still be lag due to how corvettes get loaded

[abstract crow]

Oh. Right. I need to add refiners somewhere. Probably my garage/workshop spaces.

[elder iron]

My guess is they are loaded as a tree, with a root part (probably landing gear) and all other parts defined as connected to the root or a part connected to the root, etc

[buoyant orchid]

workshop. That's a thing I learned after learning what rooms real ships have, haha.

Now that my wings are opened up, I might have to ask on here for ideas - hopefully there are some naval experts here lol

[abstract crow]

And yes. Absolutely use open areas and/or upscale base parts instead of multiple habs if possible

Saved me hundreds of habs and a lot of lag doing that.

[buoyant orchid]

yeah maybe. With the rare times my corvette has loaded slowly, I haven't noticed any pattern yet.

I dont really have big performance concerns, only a bit because Im mainly doing interior detailing now.

[buoyant orchid]

lol deifnitely, I figured it might be that big when you said 14 but...

why? lol

so empty!

[abstract crow]

I don't have an updated shot, but here's one reason.

[buoyant orchid]

Oh, PRISONER freighter, huh? 🤣

[abstract crow]

Plus these. And no, that's the two workshops/exocraft garages with a hallway between them.

[buoyant orchid]

Nice ok, so, not empty lol. Looking cool!

[abstract crow]

From the rear moving forward, I have the garages/workshops, then the middle section with access to the bridge, a barracks/common area, and a hangar/ready area. The front has hydroponics for now.

[jolly trail]

ok are you trying to make a fully fledge death star?

[elder iron]

Oh, in terms of rendering, it seems that landing gear, habs, and cockpits are prioritized, but that could be different from how the corvette build/structure is stored

[buoyant orchid]

more like star destroyer maybe 😄

[abstract crow]

No, but there's a 1:1 Star Destroyer build that makes my ship look tiny. And a 1:1 super star destroyer with a full interior.

[buoyant orchid]

is it this one?
#nms-corvette-discussion message

[abstract crow]

Yup.

[buoyant orchid]

Do you know how long your ship is?

[abstract crow]

Closest measurement I can give us three full corvette build areas. Maybe 3.5.

[buoyant orchid]

Hm, yeah, I guess about 10 habs in length? Probably very close to mine actually.

[abstract crow]

Oh, far longer than 10.

This might be a better way to show the length

[buoyant orchid]

ah, you scaled up the turrets?

I'm not familiar with Breach pieces yet so I was using the weapons as a guide, haha.

[abstract crow]

Yes. Scaled them to 1.8?

[buoyant orchid]

nice 😄

[elder iron]

I just had a thought

Has anyone tried rockets on a corvette with three missile launchers?

[cursive lark]

Now I will

I already have two but they're on my abandoned mode corvette

[elder iron]

I just recently realized theyre basically like A class upgrades for the rocket launcher, which is by far the most damaging unupgraded starship weapon

And they can be supercharged

Wait do rockets work like phase beams where every turret fires them?

@dry delta how many rockets are fired at once?

[dry delta]

no, they just shoot from roughly the center of the ship

[elder iron]

So still two? I think thats the number usually shot

[dry delta]

let me double check

pretty sure it's the normal ammount because the 'gun' markers aren't used by rockets

[elder iron]

Ok

[dry delta]

Ok, it shoots three rockets at a time, same as a normal ship. The position they come from varies a lot based on the camera angle, but isn't correlated with the turret positions at all

[elder iron]

Alright, either way, using rockets with supercharged torpedo launchers would be crazy

[cursive lark]

Going to put this against a dreadnought later

[still token]

Long

[marsh kelp]

yall can u help me figure out how to get the infra knife for my corvette

I fear my vessel is trash without one

[elder iron]

Don't worry, corvettes can be really powerful

[marsh kelp]

Bro no

Its ass rn

[terse kestrel]

Phase beam better 👀

[cursive lark]

Yes

[marsh kelp]

stop playin g

is it actually?

[cursive lark]

On a Corvette it is

[terse kestrel]

You have to source the weapons from salvage containers same as parts

[marsh kelp]

ok good to know ima drop the infra knife den

[cursive lark]

Because they all fire at the same time instead of individualy

[marsh kelp]

Thank u :DDD

[marsh kelp]

wait so if I have 2, its firing double damage ??

omg

[cursive lark]

Yes

[cursive lark]

And up to four turrets are functional

[marsh kelp]

This is fucking aura bruh

im flying around in a trash can at the moment

[terse kestrel]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

Lots of different tricks you can use to expand your build out

[terse kestrel]

Tbh it's a lovely trash can

[marsh kelp]

I agree. Ive seen vessels 10x the size and 10x uglier

[tawdry field]

is there any fix right now?

[dark juniper]

Unlocking their blueprints with a save editor, or unlocked the blueprints before update 6.16 released

[tawdry field]

k

im on console so ill just hope they fix it

[elder iron]

Tbh the thing that makes or breaks corvettes is the tech arrangement

[arctic jetty]

This is amazing.

[quiet sand]

wth am i looking at

[terse kestrel]

It's a single corvette. Just broken apart

[tough plank]

Byebeat cable build hacks. They're really fun.

[terse kestrel]

This was done using second terminal to delete connectors

[tough plank]

Where's the cockpit though?

[quiet sand]

how do u do allat

[tough plank]

That's probably easier.

[terse kestrel]

Behind the front of the command ship. Closed off but still easily accessible

[tough plank]

Build your corvette, with connections between the floating parts, got to the corvette build terminal, quickly got to the "buy corvette parts page" exit that, and go to "build a corvette" and fly back and delete the connectors.

[tough plank]

Third-person flyable only, I assume.

[quiet sand]

holy complicated

[tough plank]

Not really, once you know how to do it, it's pretty easy.

[quiet sand]

oh alr

[tough plank]

I used a more complex method for this, when I should've used the method I just described.

[quiet sand]

that looks sick

i dont even know how to change the color of my corvette lmfao

[terse kestrel]

At the second terminal it's

Purchase > purchase > go back > build Corvette. Can delete anything after the build is done. Even essential parts

[tough plank]

Edit the corvette part coloring with G, if you play K&M.

[quiet sand]

jesus

how did u get so many parts?

it took hours of grinding to get the shitbox i have now

[hardy oracle]

Bombing runs on salvage planets can be quite quick if you find a good world. Probably better than one part per 30 seconds if you find a particularly good world

[proud forge]

does anyone know how people put this type of storage container in their corvettes?

[hardy oracle]

Don't think you can without mods, but corvettes have their own storage modules that have the exact same functionality

[proud forge]

yeah but they look like a mess imo

how do i download mods?

[violet wedge]

Hey ! I’m new to the game, I got my first 4.6million units. Should I prioritize getting a corvette or trade for a ship that I like in space stations?

[proud forge]

corvette

[hardy oracle]

You can't buy a full corvette for that amount, however you can get a few pieces for free by going to the nearest world tagged with salvage. Use your units to buy the missing pieces after you've gotten a dozen or two. Corvettes are amazingly convenient compared to regular spaceships, though they do start out a little bit on the slow and cumbersome side before you finish upgrading them.

I get mine at the mod nexus

[proud forge]

then i just download it and it goes straight into the game?

do you have a link?

[hardy oracle]

https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky

[hardy oracle]

...No, and you should probably be glad that websites can't just edit games on your computer.

[violet wedge]

Wdym worlds tagged by salvage?

[hardy oracle]

If you look at them from space, planets have tags like Copper or Ancient Bones, one of those possible tags are salvage

[violet wedge]

Ohh okay

[quiet sand]

is there anyway someone could give me some corvetter parts?

[violet wedge]

Im traveling systems so it shouldn’t be that hard to find

[quiet sand]

all of mine kinda suck

[proud forge]

if you want someone to give you parts why not just change the difficulty

[quiet sand]

wdym

[abstract crow]

Turn free building on.

[quiet sand]

ohh

[proud forge]

options-difficulty- then either crafting or purchases put it on free

[abstract crow]

Might still have to get the atlas parts if you didn't do the expedition

[quiet sand]

oh alr

[terse kestrel]

I often build with free parts turned on. Many here do

The real grind of a Corvette is its ranks, slots and tech. The parts are mostly aesthetic anyways. Like skins. And who wants to grind for skins?

[arctic jetty]

Just saw these in the same anomaly

Cool asf

[abstract crow]

I really need to build smaller ships again. Smaller as in technically in the build area.

[arctic jetty]

I can never get my mods to work so I'm forced to stay within the build limit

[proud forge]

I cant find the mod do you know the name?

[neat cypress]

Can I make an asteroid miner mad and use the fast scramble option?

Or do I have to find a conflict by warping in

[elder iron]

Why on earth would someone want to? Those take up way more space than the ones you can build in a hab

[proud forge]

Because they don't look like crap and are organized more structurally.

by building one in a hab are you talking about on a planet

[placid flume]

I guess? But they’re very bulky and the way the cargo pod looks depends on the hab you build it in

So you could also just try to switch the hab to a different one

[proud forge]

i have to disagree tbh, i think they are less bulky and more pleasing to the eye than the regular one. Let me send another picture more far out.

[placid flume]

Doesn’t the one you’re referring to take up like an entire room of space

[elder iron]

No, in a corvette

[proud forge]

no

[placid flume]

Oh those look pretty cool

[proud forge]

si

[elder iron]

One hab can hold 4 storage containers

[placid flume]

I wonder how they got those in there

[proud forge]

and one side of a wall way is holding 8

[placid flume]

I’m still kinda new

[proud forge]

same thing im wondering lol

[proud forge]

same

[elder iron]

Glitches, or mods

It looks like youre standing in a freighter base

[terse kestrel]

Did you use the service bot to get a Corvette and now you're trying to replicate what the builder did?

[proud forge]

yes

[proud forge]

yeah im trying to find out what mod they used

[proud forge]

the ship itself sucks and i dont want to use someones elses design i just want to use that type of storage container

[terse kestrel]

Looks like blender and base builder to alter sizes and remover restrictions

#nms-modding will have the links and guides on how to use these tools

Blender takes like 2 addition apps to be able to use properly. It's a process but once it's setup you're good

[proud forge]

is blender and base builder to seperate things

[terse kestrel]

Yes

[proud forge]

and i would need just blender for corvette builds right

[terse kestrel]

Base builder allows Corvettes to be built over the part limit and gives you a much larger corvette bubble to build in. Without it you will not be able to alter or decorate your corvette built from Blender.

Blender allows you to resize parts and lower their system resource cost. Allowing you to build bigger Corvettes with no lag to you or others around you.

So they are best used together cause you can't fully use the benefits of one without he other

[proud forge]

nice thanks man i appreciate it a lot

this is all i would need correct

[terse kestrel]

With blender there are also other apps you need on the side. To load your creations into the game. And putting them in the files.

For that in-depth stuff do refer to the #nms-modding channel here. It's not necessarily just downloading it and using it. But you have to set it up right to work with the game.

[proud forge]

gotchu thanks

[abstract crow]

Alright. Got two large refiners and two antimatter generators added to my cruiser. Med bays with health station and suit charging stations added as well. Not sure if I'll really be able to do anything with the lighting, so that might be off the table. I think all I need to do is complete the bridge, add crew lodging, and finish the observation deck and my cruiser will be complete.

[unreal coyote]

can i still get aeron parts afterr the breach exipedition is over?

[simple jasper]

wadapak

[pseudo forge]

Any new vette parts added after Aeron yet? Anyone know when more are coming?

[unreal coyote]

can anyone give me aeron parts please? ill pay u back w wtever

[glass surge]

Atlas Aeron Parts are craftable after the Breach expedition which runs again on December 31st; if you need some before then try also asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades as well

[arctic jetty]

I’ve seen a few of those before. Really neat build

[abstract monolith]

is anyone able to let me ride on their ship for the mission? i cant find anyone available atm

[rain totem]

I call it the Gecko

[river barn]

lol

thats funny

does if fly?

[rain totem]

like a brick

[terse kestrel]

"She may look like a steakhouse, but she flies like a bistro" 😘👌

[rain totem]

well I built a corvette back to starships lol

[arctic jetty]

I kinda like this tbh, it either feels like a scientific ship or a pirate ship designed for infiltrating freighters

[final bobcat]

why are only 6/10 of my thrusters on?

[arctic jetty]

Not sure, but I think it's just a weird glitch that happens from time to time

Not sure how to fix it tho

[rare frigate]

i have a couple of storage canister in my corvette, and im trying to sell items from the corvette, but nothing from those storage systems show up, do i have to remove the items from the storage canisters?

[arctic jetty]

Yeah, storage containers and your corvette storage are 2 different things

You can sell from corvette storage, but not storage modules

[rare frigate]

Thats annoying, i store most of my items inside of the storage modules, but hey, the corvettes are super cool so ill let it slide

[arctic jetty]

Yeah. You can get a lot of storage on a corvette once you start unlocking slots though

So they're very worth it, it's just a mobile base

[rare frigate]

Yup, I dont really like staying confined to one planet, so corvettes really help. thanks for telling me about this!

[scarlet tulip]

Does making a longer corvette zoom the camera out more in third person?

[arctic jetty]

Of course!

[arctic jetty]

Kinda? It does change the perspective a little bit, but it can be really annoying depending on your build. For example mine is very vertical, so it's hard to see directly in front of me

[scarlet tulip]

Mine takes up a lot and it's worse on planets as the camera zooms in

I need to add a better place for those reactors up top

[arctic jetty]

Oh blah. Better than my star destroyer at least

[scarlet tulip]

How is mine better than any proper design

I built it for function then slapped on some hull pieces to attempt to smooth it out

[arctic jetty]

Well your perspective is better. Also I like it

[median sinew]

I have a lot of leftover corvette parts is there a way I can sell those for units?

[terse ingot]

I think you can just go to a trade terminal and sell them

[turbid pike]

Does anyone want to help make police lights flash on a vette? I'm assuming a way would be a Beatbox somehow, but it's probably too hard or not possible (I don't know). Send DM if you're up to it if possible.

[crystal wharf]

The Observatory! Partly greenhouse and mostly a dollhouse

[arctic jetty]

This is very impressive

I love it

[reef bobcat]

U here?

Need help with the design of my corvette

[arctic jetty]

I can do my best, though I'm no master :)

[reef bobcat]

It’s okay

Anyone’s better than me

I’m new to the game

I need a part to cover the gap, between the reactor and the ends of the hulls

[reef bobcat]

I just don’t know what to use, to make it look halfway decent

[arctic jetty]

Hmm. You could put a walkway with a turret/defense system on top, and an engine behind the walkway. Or you could put a glass window instead of an engine and make it into a little sitting room for passengers

[reef bobcat]

What parts? Exactly

Shouldn’t the reactor be covered?

[arctic jetty]

One sec, lemme boot my creative save and make a mockup of your ship rq so I can experiment

[reef bobcat]

What if I take the landing thing away, extend a hull so i have more space on top, get a part that covers it, and then put a turret on top of the reactor?

[arctic jetty]

Turrets always look good on top of that kind of reactor, that could look really good!

[reef bobcat]

Alright here me out

Get two more side boosters

And then idk put another hull on top, put another weapon on the reactor

And ofc I’d need another landing gear

[arctic jetty]

ohh, might be cool!

[arctic jetty]

You only need one, I've got a giant ship that only uses one lol

[reef bobcat]

Well (to make it look better ofc)

Okay, imma go back to what I had, what did you have in mind?

[arctic jetty]

So I made a fast version of kinda what the back looked like, plus a few edits I thought might look neat if you were interested

Alternatively you could swap the window and engine placement or type of window, it's really all about personal preference

[reef bobcat]

So the first one picture

[arctic jetty]

The first one is my best crack at the original photo you sent

The second has the modifications on it

[reef bobcat]

That’s pretty damn good,

Okay, what do I do

To cover the back part of the reactor

Imma put a gun on top

But then, do I leave the back part of the hulls empty behind them?

[arctic jetty]

Hmm, that could work,I like putting guns on my reactors

[reef bobcat]

I’ve got 3.6 million to work with rn

[arctic jetty]

Mind sending a picture so I know what you’re talking about? Also if you need money I can join and give you some

[reef bobcat]

Oh, I could use money haha, some of these parts I found

I could always get better ones

[arctic jetty]

Yeah they’re not super cheap XDDD

[reef bobcat]

Plus lowkey scrapped some lol

If you’d like to give me some money to make the ship look nicer that would be great

[arctic jetty]

Of course :) I always keep fusion igniters on hand to help people out :)

[reef bobcat]

Thank you!

Do you need my id?

[white smelt]

Hello, I am newer to building corvettes and my friend showed me a really cool Corvette design that used the "open area" and "Miniaturization" glitches, and I am wondering if there is a YT video somewhere that explains how those work?

[twilit sundial]

If a human has a skull next to its name, it's a permadeath player?

[abstract crow]

Never heard of the "Miniaturization glitch" before and open areas don't require a glitch. You just build around the space you want open.

[remote crypt]

Probably talking scale glitch

[abstract crow]

Didn't know you could use a glitch to re-scale parts. I just used mods.

[mellow jackal]

It's a part of the family of wire glitches. I use it to shrink my save point and put aquariums neatly on tables. I'm on PS5.

[arctic jetty]

This is something I need to learn to do, though I hate wires

[reef bobcat]

I just got a new ship! Thank you @arctic jetty

My design ofc

[arctic jetty]

Did a goddamn good job, that shit looks clean!

Here’s the piece of crap I built in the meantime

Only thing I like on this is the glitch building of the forward pylons with engines in em

[warm breach]

mods

[true orbit]

Any advice for what I can put along the flat sections here to give it a little better look?

(Ignore the color difference)

[turbid pike]

I'd put two guns at the front part and one of those medium length (low sloped) ramp shaped parts in the middle. Mine is actually similar to yours.
#nms-showcase-corvettes message

[true orbit]

That worked out very nice. I actually have to move the Aeron drives up a notch because they were blocking the entrance to the side habs

But it looks better now, thank you

[heady wave]

is it possible to get two dead eye cannons?

[cursive lark]

Yes, after you get the one from the expedition the rest just cost materials when building

I can't remember what materials though

[heady wave]

where do i craft it at? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question

[cursive lark]

In the corvette terminal

Sorry I've grown used to referring to making a Corvette as crafting one

[heady wave]

oooh okay cool. thank you

[fresh herald]

Hows this for my first corvette

[crystal wharf]

Wait that's dope

[fresh herald]

Ty!

[buoyant orchid]

I wonder if anyone would be interested in floor plans in #nms-showcase-corvettes since I can't reveal the ship (very personal design, unreleased IP). Can only reveal the shape (and the flat back, lol) since it's kind of cliche anyway.

10 habs long, 11 decks (7 + 4 tiny ones), 2,300+ parts.

Here's an example with just Deck 5.

LEGEND
Rectangles with colored edges: stairs
Rectangles, dual color: elevator shaft
Black: untraversable / non-crew space (wall, structure, equipment)
Transparent shading: crew space with some blockage (interior equipment, crawl space, etc.)

Maybe vote below?
(I would try to include interiors even though they're not done)

[cursive lark]

That's a big ship

[buoyant orchid]

Meant to be a true corvette, possibly pushing it into the light frigate range. I'm almost done working out all interior spaces based on all the rooms real-like corvettes may have. 😅

[cursive lark]

I'll need to see it when it's done, I assume it will be in the showcase channel?

[buoyant orchid]

If the aye's have it, lol. As I said, I can't post exterior shots.

[cursive lark]

Why?

Oh the IP

Sad

[buoyant orchid]

Good news is it's giving me some story ideas, so idk... if I make it into a visual novel...there's a chance someday... haha.
Otherwise, I'm considering trying to stream its detailing.

[lost lily]

so how exactly do you get started on making a corvette

do you have to do story missions first

[buoyant orchid]

Just find planets with Salvageable Scrap (I think that's the name), scan for them (yellow Wifi icon), and mine them to get parts (you can also just shoot carefully with your ship). Then go to any space station and use any of the 4 blue teleporters to go to corvette spot and start building. If you have millions of credits already, you can buy some parts there too.

[lost lily]

I see I see

[stone shadow]

Ok, I added some decorations to The Blob Temple (mainly blob statues and crystal in the middle)

[harsh scroll]

Has anybody else found that the Corvette sometimes won't land if you're fighting sentinel interceptors?

[glass surge]

i've had that happen as well with normal starships

[fresh atlas]

The Blob Temple. A suitable place for The Blob Emperor (but yeah, it's basically a minecraft jungle temple xD)

[kind bane]

Is this a flying space castle? Cool

[abstract crow]

Praise the Blob

[gritty spoke]

Sweeeeet !

[gritty spoke]

This is awesome. Very cool!

[buoyant orchid]

Is there any corvette or base piece that can hold back the the angled landing bay doors and prevent them from opening the whole way?

[abstract crow]

Nope. They glitch through whatever you put.

[simple jasper]

u cooked ngl

[mint scaffold]

Are corvettes early game content? Or should i progress further before making one?

[golden nymph]

get a few million units first and dig up a few salvage containers

[hoary agate]

Make one when u are feeling confortable

[slow quarry]

I made mine early-ish on my main save, but if you want one really early, you can do the current expedition on a new save, the gimmick of this expedition is that you are forced to make a corvette and you are given the parts to do so.

So you get a really big headstart on corvette experience

[glass surge]

To me Corvettes are a nice to have and not a must have but they're nice once you've built one you really like

The Corvette Redux Expedition literally ends within the next 13 hours or so any one under taking it would be doing it under a time crunch; I would suggest doing the next one Breach Redux (Note, this Expedition does not have NPC's so pack accordingly )on December 31st under a new save as it'll unlock the Atlas /Aeron parts for your game and any saves you make

[white smelt]

Does anybody know a lot about glitch building and how to make really cool highly detailed builds with special parts like this? I am looking for somebody who could potentially teach me how to do some of these things and what this guy did to make the open area look so clean. I don't understand what he used to make the floors, roofs and walls that look so good with the windows.

[elder iron]

That looks like a freighter base

[white smelt]

Its not, it is a corvette

[proud plank]

Can someone rate my corvette

[white smelt]

I am the red Vykeen, I was the one who took the SS's inside of it. But never got a chance to talk to him more abt how he desinged it.

[elder iron]

The rooms are freighter rooms

[white smelt]

How would you get a freighter room on a corvette?

that don't make much sense to me.

[elder iron]

Either the cache pin glitch, mods, or using the external base builder and importing the corvette

[white smelt]

Okay 3 methods gotcha.

Thanks for the tips

[ember prairie]

gemini is a filthy liar. It told me to buy an S class reactor to make a S class corvette. and this was its response

[nimble stirrup]

AI is not a helpful tool when it comes to looking for accurate information

[halcyon sky]

what is "AI"??
||/j||

[ember prairie]

its been usable for about 20 questions so far. but this 12k nanite bomb was the first slip up. sure would have been nice to have it fail on something a little less time consuming

[elder iron]

If it was usable, that was by pure chance

[ember prairie]

as is all the AI

i cant wait for this AI slop bubble to burst

[elder iron]

Theyre designed to imitate human speech and writing patterns, not give accurate information

[tiny bolt]

wait wait thats a ship??

😭 what the hell thats so cool

[ember prairie]

they are spending billions/trillions and betting the world economy that they can train the models to be accurate and every revision of the chat bots they get worse

[tiny bolt]

i dont think the data is caught up tho right

[ember prairie]

It knew all about corvetes

[tiny bolt]

not really, the data tisnt focused for games and games constantly change and update so keeping it up to date is hard

[ember prairie]

all the AI development videos on youtube spend at least half the time talking about the efforts and training to reduce hallucinations. scam altman apparently spent hundreds of millions training the latest gpt model.

every AI model I use is worse than the one before it

[tiny bolt]

well even with all that, its not like the internet is just fully purely correct information, in their insane data models the bigger they get the more chance of false information and misleading bs

[glass surge]

It takes 85K nanites to upgrade a Corvette to S-Class at the back of any space station at the same terminal you use for normal starships and it has never been a part you get since Corvette's came out; C Class to B Class = 10,000 nanites, B Class to A Class = 25,000, and A Class to S Class = 50,000

[ember prairie]

sorry to derail, just needed to vent. 12k nanites was all i had

[elder iron]

The AI confused assembling corvettes with starships

[glass surge]

yup

[ember prairie]

since the AI is worthless slop........ Can I use this S class reactor core to upgrade my old starship?

[glass surge]

Reactor cores are usually only for making custom ships; you still have to use nanites to upgrade a regular starships

[simple jasper]

@arctic jetty i did my best T T

[ember prairie]

ok ty. Ill toss it in my storage bin of many upgrades

[elder iron]

Packaged or unopened?

[arctic jetty]

That looks fire! Awesome design!

[ember prairie]

my container is full of about half and half. the new reactor core looks like it is perma open out of the vendor

[elder iron]

Unopened is like when you first buy them

You can sell those at the tech vendors for nanites

[ember prairie]

yeah, I realise I should probably cash those in at this point lol. Im just getting back into the game. Im about 2 days into a 5 year old save file so Im finding all kinds of items in my containers.

[simple jasper]

ty ty

[arctic jetty]

ofc :)

[simple jasper]

named it wrath of nocturn

peak

[arctic jetty]

Hells yeah

[hollow thunder]

Made it to the center for the first time. Monolith gates are helpful.

[arctic jetty]

Yeah portals rock

[hollow thunder]

Well seccond time first time was. At launch years ago when thats all she wrote one galaxy ect

But I still.have had the choice of what galaxy to go to im so confused

[dark juniper]

You only get that choice at the end of the main story

[hollow thunder]

What what I finnished when I told to go to the core by nul

I did the atlas build a star it never gave an option iether

[dark juniper]

That's The Atlas Path, a different mission

[dark juniper]

If you are referring to The Purge, see #nms-questions message

The Purge instructs you to go towards the core, not reach it

After 16 warps, a Portal is marked to "skip the journey" and ||lead to the scripted conclusion and the choice|| (remember to wait a few seconds after each warp for progress to register)

[hollow thunder]

Oh dear the purge

I got my glyphs and kept going

I guess I screwed myself

[slow quarry]

You cant really screw yourself during the quest

The final portal hint is in the quest log itself, IIRC

[hollow thunder]

What ibshould have looked for an hour ago is right next to me now I feel silly

Although the journey to the center was cool so many bases when you get close

[ember prairie]

Is there any reason to not upgrade your first (main save) corvette with all the saved up starship expansion slot mods that I saved up from the Expedition? Can I just upgrade it with new parts later, including a possible ground up reconfiguration while maintaining installed tech mods and slot upgrades?

[elder iron]

Use them to upgrade cargo space

[ember prairie]

ok. just to confirm, the cargo slots stick around through a rebuild via the space station corvette workshop?

[slow quarry]

They do

[heady wave]

so this might be kinda dumb but is it possible to adjust the lighting inside my ship?

[mortal shale]

ye, but the modules get all jumbled on rebuild... making you resort them so you hit the right layout

[fresh herald]

Do yall like my 2nd corvette i spent hours on it😭

I took inspiration from an old mustang car

[crystal wharf]

It's nice! I always forget that those reactors can look pretty good on the exterior of the ship

why do i have only 1 part when i build a corvette, like i want 2x a thruster but can only place 1

[warm breach]

get more parts

[plucky tartan]

Hey guys I'm in need of assistance

I'm trying to place base parts on my Corvette on console. How do I do it

And do I need to place them before I completely build the ship?

[plucky tartan]

I've watched several videos but have been unable to replicate the process

[fervent mist]

any tips on building corvettes <3?

i got around 60-80 components total, wana start buiilding

i ahd basic one

am thinking of using 10k aanites and lvl up the calss and start building from scratch

[plucky tartan]

You'll need about 15k to rank up to S class I believe

[fervent mist]

mine is C rn

[fervent mist]

i rank it up at space station right

all corvettes start at c right?

[plucky tartan]

Yes

[tough plank]

Since you used the Ambassador Cockpit, I'd use Ambassador/Firebox thrusters, and try to make it more streamlined.

ambassador looks clean but the cockpit is meh

[tough plank]

Yeah.

Cockpit looks like a bug.

I prefer Thunderbird, or Titan.

[buoyant orchid]

If you've found Youtube videos all about glitch building and adding base parts to corvettes, then that should have enough info, including if not possible lol. I see you said you've seen videos, but search here on Discord to make sure you've found the well-appreciated ones with comprehensive guides. I think it's complicated, though, may need a settlement., but idk.

[plucky tartan]

I've seen beezles video using a settlement but I was unable to replicate anything

[severe summit]

Oh sorry was in wrong channel

[buoyant orchid]

I've been working on a sci-fi universe since my teens and some main stories set in it, so, things like building a future utopian city in Cities: Skylines or building corvettes in NMS are a two-way feedback loop of ideas. 😄

Building this corvette in NMS has made me think hard about its interior, its use, its possible history and legacy.... so with some help from ChatGPT I've got a story idea I'm working on and have been writing out mostly dialogue these past couple weeks.

If I release anything publicly of my sci-fi universe within the next 2 years, the most realistic potential I'm seeing is a simple game or visual novel. 🤞 We'll see, lol.

[plucky tartan]

Where in this discord would I find said guides

[plucky tartan]

I've been doing the same thing with my character

[buoyant orchid]

As for the ship, it's a littoral corvette built as a quick responder. Speed, armor, some stealth. It's a mini version of the cruiser I originally imagined.

10 habs long, 7 decks + 4 tiny decks for a 3-vehicle exocraft hangar. The design, despite of course nonfunctional in NMS, has a shuttle on a functional airlock, a cargo dock, 360 degree weapons and thruster coverage, can split into 2 parts, and also has an eject-able/modular citadel. And of course, all rooms a corvette should have, according to ChatGPT, lol. 😄

[plucky tartan]

@buoyant orchid about those guides lol where would I find them?

[fervent mist]

oh not anymore, they increased price from cto b is 10k naanites

and they increase significalty jeez

25k to A and 50k to S i think

[buoyant orchid]

Search feature, just search glitch building here or on youtube. I do see "base parts corvette" is a tough search. :/

[plucky tartan]

Make everything free and do it that way

[heady wave]

Hey I don't know if anyone can tell me this but I had a Cyclotron during upgrade during the redux, that did something like disabling ships, or something. Can anyone tell me what it was, and if I didn't save it from my expedition, can I get a new one some how?

[river barn]

the parts we used to make the corvette are in the technology ara, thats so stupid. less space for upgrades

[plucky tartan]

I've seen his video for doing it with a settlement and base computer but he's using habs. I'm trying to build an open space instead of using habs

[cursive lark]

The cyclotron cannon can be bought from the starship tech merchant at the anomaly, and it's really powerful against shields. When I don't want to just use the infa knife, I like the cyclotron cannon and rocket launcher

[pseudo charm]

you are talkin inside the rooms. you have to land do it but you can do it

[plucky tartan]

What

I want to build an open area on my Corvette instead of using habs

[cursive lark]

Pretty sure you need mods for that

Or you could use habs to surround a large area and use that as your interior

[buoyant orchid]

You found the video he or someone else has that is about like "all methods" in one video?

I thought I remember there's a way to make the edit mode change from Editing Base to Editing corvette. IDK if that's a settltement gltich or just need your own base.

[plucky tartan]

I was trying it out yesterday. I was using a floor but imma try something else.

[heady wave]

yeha I'm glad I tried it, I saw people kinda shitting on it, but I kinda like it, there were two upgrades you got for it in the expedition though. One said it had a disabling effect.

[plucky tartan]

This is what I'm trying to do to the Corvette I'm building rn

Not the deco just the space

[buoyant orchid]

Space is just space. Just don't build there.

EDIT: BUT I think I've seen people say it's better to build habs first and then delete them to preserve internal atmosphere.

It's for stuff in it that you may need glitching.

[plucky tartan]

I will give this a shot

Not sure how it'll work with the floors but I'll try it

[warm breach]

youll need mods or alot of glitches and patience

[plucky tartan]

I'm not worried about the decorations lol, I can resize and all that jazz already. I'm just having trouble placing floors and walls

[warm breach]

youll need mods or alot of glitches and patience

[fervent mist]

what do u guys think?

[warm breach]

that are the most...

fps ive ever seen

[fervent mist]

its a bug

my fps is 80

its frozen

see

its still like that even on dsicord

[warm breach]

can you tell me what it says, im blind :(

[fervent mist]

still 598fps

its a bug

[warm breach]

thanks, i couldnt see the number

[river barn]

wish we could buy corvette parts or blueprints orso

600m units and cant do allot with it

[fervent mist]

guys question how do i swithc ebtween parts for corvette

bec i ahve 4 of an item

but they ahve different stats

[hoary agate]

That how it works .They will have diffrent stats for next part of the same type instaled. Eventualy next parts dont give any stats and are only cosmetic.

Hi guys! I just finished my first actual corvette build! I was trying to recreate the Tempest from Mass Effect Andromeda, and while its not perfect I am happy with what I was able to do on my first try without any real experience. Any feedback with be appreciated, I was struggling a lot with capturing the sleekness/curves of the Tempest and ended up experimenting with almost all of the different cowlings and diffusers throughout this process. How do you guys try to get curves/sleekness into your designs?

[marsh kelp]

shredding shit off my corvette on accident at a friends base

skate or die

[river barn]

what to do wehn your borred whaha love it!

[glass surge]

The showoff channel is #nms-showcase-corvettes since you're not posting discussion

[glass surge]

You get sleekness by using the hull decoration pieces over most of your corvette design depending on that design; if you're replicating a ship from another fandom etc it may not be possible with the default limit of 100 corvette pieces in which case some people ended up using mods and learning blender to extended the complexity limit and using blender to design the ship they want.

Sometimes designing a sleek ship means using a lot less habitation modules to get more of that sleek shell

[marsh kelp]

Does anyone know what cockpit this is covering the Titan one?

Or what piece?

[plucky tartan]

Following

Oooh I mess read that

[runic cobalt]

Base window, not corvette part

[plucky tartan]

He's asking about the cockpit

Not the window

[glass surge]

Depends on what thruster; I rebuilt a ship from scratch recently and i got my rockhoppers to animate again but after awhile they stopped animating fully and i wonder if it's because of the mag landing pads and a animation limit

[tough plank]

Oh, I knew it wasn't a corvette part.

[runic cobalt]

Read what he said again

[runic cobalt]

He named the cockpit and asked what was covering it

[plucky tartan]

Does anyone know what cockpit this is covering, sounds like he was asking about the cockpit 😅

Then he followed up with the name of said pit with a question mark

[runic cobalt]

Aand ive been far too smug, i am likely incorrect, i apologise greatly

I interpreted the question wrong 😅

[plucky tartan]

@tough plank I have the milano, I'll check rq

Oof nvm, got rid of it

[tough plank]

Nice.

[plucky tartan]

That's what's going on with mine, the hoppers worked for a bit then they stopped

I do have 2 sets of atlas thrusters attached as well so they could be stopping them

I have both rock hopper thrusters and 2 sets of atlas thrusters

[tough plank]

I tried to build it, it didn't turn out well...

[plucky tartan]

There's a build guide on YouTube if you don't want to use nomansapp

Step by step it'll show you how to do it

@tough plank

[glass surge]

Yeah I think it's a animation limit; I've submitted a bug report to HG and so have other people with the same issue or that only use smaller amounts of rockhoppers that aren't animating. If you want put in a bug report so the devs know or are made aware that more people have this issue then do !hg to get the form for submitting bugs to HG

What are you talking about? So what if its not an exact copy of the Milano? Its still a good looking corvette. It's got a real space trucker vibe to it. 5 stars!

[white smelt]

What would be the best possible thing I could do to this ship to get max maneuverability without using a single expedition part?

• I am pretty new, so I would need to know what I need from S-X Class stuff, and only obtainable items as of this time.

[terse kestrel]

https://nms-optimizer.app/

Use this if you're not into min/maxing. Best lazy optimization tool

[glass surge]

The thing is for a Corvette it's not just the Pulse drive that gives maneuverability. You can get more maneuverability by putting in three Medusa Reactors before putting in the cockpit as those also give you a boost to maneuverability

What you want to do it get all the basic Pulse drive upgrades from the Anomaly unlocked and built to put in; you can also put in three S or X class upgrades next to those to help boost Maneuverability.

If you really want to min/max you can check what the max is for those upgrades or any other by going to in Catalogue and Guide > Technology > Starship and looking for those upgrades on the second page.

[frigid wave]

v2.0

[glass surge]

is the alien hiding the rest of the ship

[abstract crow]

The alien is the ship

[mint rune]

Is there an alternative to the default interior ladder to go up/down floors in the corvette? I kinda hate the ladder tbh

[cursive lark]

Nope

[mint rune]

Gross D:

[river barn]

WTF

so sexy black and red

[glass surge]

the windows at the back look good on a balck and red ship

[river barn]

this thing is amazing

there is stuff in the tubes

[plucky tartan]

I did it!!! By the gods, I finally did it!

I attached a wall to my Corvette

[ember prairie]

can I run 3 medusa reactors? I installed 3 and it only shows 2 in the installed tech boxes

[glass surge]

Delete 2 of the 3 reactors, apply edit.

then go back in delete the cockpit and then put the reactors before you put the cockpit and then apply the edits.

you might have to do a variation of that to get it to work

[ember prairie]

Thank you for the info. I appreciate it.

That method worked, and now I have 3 reactors in tech boxes. I upgraded from 1 to 3 with the cockpit installed. maybe something with that bugged it.

[glass surge]

nah i think it's just that the cockpit works as a medusa reactor and but the stat boost might not be the best

[mint rune]

I thought I had done well on my ship, then I get to the anomaly and see this - wth

he has teleporters in it even lol

Screenshot with my corvetts pictures in front of it lol

Dude is nuts grinding all that out

[glass surge]

If those teleporters work then they're most likely modded in if there even is a mod for that

[dark ginkgo]

Chez

[ancient tendon]

I can see what they were going for and considering the limits of the editor, that's a pretty good airship/Zeppelin build

[warm breach]

you can use glitch building

[real arch]

Made a UFDD-02 Nidhoggr destroyer from the R-Type series

Can't deploy it for some weeks until I get access to PC with the no limits mod lol

[warm breach]

that doesnt really look like 100 parts

[real arch]

There's lot of weapons underneath, also decorations and stuff

Even more pieces after I reworked the bridge and added more details lol

[warm breach]

you can use normal parts as decoration

[real arch]

I meant like antennas and stuff like that, haven't placed any of the building decorations yet because I can't finalize it yet

There's lots of random antennas all around

[warm breach]

delete the antennas and stuff and use normal parts

[real arch]

Nah I'll just wait until I get back home and can play on PC

Without the extra stuff it's like 98 parts

For the interior section I used the hull piece corridors with no rooms so it helps with performance, will probably do the same for the nose too

[crystal harness]

anyone know if someone has built this? https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/sto_gamepedia/images/a/a2/IntrepidBellerophonOverview.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20210514224148

couldnt find anything using google image search, so probably not

[crystal harness]

My impression is that everything in the second page of the corvette parts menu are cosmetic only

[dark juniper]

That module is completely cosmetic

[slow quarry]

One min, gonna check that

[runic hinge]

No thats i cant thats the thing i cant acces them

[runic hinge]

Oh nooo so all i put in is gone?

[dark juniper]

Huh?

[warm breach]

i meant your starship inventory

[dark juniper]

You can't interact with those random cosmetic modules

[runic hinge]

Hmm i put stuff in the when i did quixk transfer

[dark juniper]

Did you quick transfer them to storage containers?

If so, then just interact with the Storage Racks you built inside to access those contents

If you sent it to the starship in general, you will find it in the starship cargo inventory

[runic hinge]

Oh that why thx!

[slow quarry]

damn, item stacking on corvette uses a ton of parts @_@

[tough plank]

Which one of the wings looks better? I can't decide.

[tired dome]

Ew, what are you using to build these?

I like the one on the right

[tough plank]

Alright.

[tough plank]

I'm using Base Builder, a Blender plugin.

[tired dome]

Why?

The real art is making it in game

[tough plank]

I wanted to try something new, and I get more options like this.

[terse kestrel]

I don't mind using third party apps to make it easier but there is truth to that.

When you are limited in your size, pieces and available placement you're forced to be more creative. You're put in a box of creativity that you must work within.

With Base building I glitch build heavily. Yet I still appreciate people building with the base mechanics that turn out really artistic builds.

[tough plank]

This is what I've got now.

[thick jasper]

Project Skystead has been completed! Might just move the frontal shield generator somewhere else but I’m happy with overall silhouette

[thick jasper]

Pod racer? Noice!

[tough plank]

Thanks!

[turbid pike]

I added some of those alert-type color lights on my Vette, and sometimes they turn off. Is that just how it is?

[tired dome]

Exactly this

Personally I'd see third party ways of building banned if it were up to me. Either that, or Hello games put it into the game so we can all do it.

[remote walrus]

would there be any way to get rid of the yellow accents and smooth sout some features, mods are acceptable

[shadow wraith]

I'm happy they brought back my pogo stick landing gears

Was getting tired with the high heels

[modest agate]

what do ya thing?

The Mantis

[velvet ruin]

Perhaps, but ultimately nms is a game of freedom where there is no correct or best way to play, only the way that is most fun to oneself

[tired dome]

That's very Liberal of you, and I kinda agree. However, something gets my back up when people can do something I can't, when it's not even my fault. In a creative forum, where I believe creative skill should reign supreme, I feel like blender is a kinda slap in the face. Mostly because I can't do it on xbox, and also because I feel like hello games didn't intend it, otherwise they might have put it in the game.

Going to such lengths to create ships some of us can't have also creates fomo. So in my opinion it's a negative all round.

[abstract crow]

To each their own. I love seeing how creative people get with their designs through blender. Removing a lot of the limits really allows people to go wild.

[vernal snow]

Does anyone know how to make the subnutica ships either the aurera or mercury 2 ?

I am trying to make one

[thick jasper]

Funny you should bring that up, I was just thinking about designing a corvette based upon the atlas modded sub

Aurora is huge and with very smooth curved edges, it’ll be quite the challenge to make.

[vernal snow]

I am trying to build one because I love the game and the ship and I thought it would be fun to have the ship go to a "ocean planet" without being shot down

[hoary agate]

If someone wants to recreate arcadia corvette from expedition here are pics of the arcadia wreck for reference

[hasty flower]

Ok thx I needed this 🙏😁🙏

[abstract crow]

So much purple

[fallen gulch]

How do you get rare corvette parts i know the planet way but is there any other way because I see a lot of cool parts on others corvettes

[abstract crow]

Trade less rare parts for rarer parts

[ember prairie]

do these save edited ships bypass the requirement of owning the part before you edit the save? I feel like it probably is essentially a full on cheat. Edit: vy save edited ships, I mean people using 3rd party apps to edit ships.

[vapid blade]

Looks really nice!

Old WIP

New WIP

[river barn]

thats a thruster damn

[random zinc]

I think I'm finally ready to show off my corvette in #nms-showcase-corvettes ... Any tips for taking effective pictures?

[river barn]

how do i change my thruster colour?

[glass surge]

Don't use the in game photomode mouse 1 to take a picture use f12 if playing on steam or whatever key you have changed it to ; take a screen cap of your current graphics setup and then up all the settings, put on the best Anti Aliasing setting you can use, Steam also has a png setting you can use under Settings > In Game scroll down to screenshots and enable save an external copy of my screenshot which enables saving a png copy to a folder you chose also this will increase file size for this images / png's

Choose good angles to highlight what you want to show others maybe even look at car pictures and the angles they use on those and mimic that; you can move the sun in photomode so you use that to highlight or adjust the light; and in lenses settings you can lower the vignette setting to 0% that removes the dark areas in the corners

[random zinc]

thanks

[random zinc]

focus on the thruster and press the color button

[river barn]

i got it

finally got my ship build

[white smelt]

I am very confused on how I am supposed to do a build, I have been testing lots of shit for 3 days now and nothing has worked 😭

Anybody know a lot about glitch building?

[glass surge]

I only really use offset techniques or the ones pinned in this channel as any greater glitch techniques have a chance to blocking your path in the corvette habituation modules or getting you stuck in the wall or whatever else that we don't know. Maybe look at videos pinned here and and try those in a creative save and just take it slow when tryign to replicate those

I'd suggest turning your crafting to free in the game settings under difficulty to practice any builds you want to do without worrying about part cost etc or make a dedicated creative save to practice on.

Some builds you seeing online, youtube and or even in here might be heavily modded or made in other applications like blender and require a lot more like modding the game; if you see something you want to replicate or build try asking that person how they did it.

[obsidian pier]

Im wanting to build my first corvette, can anyone send me some reference pictures for some cool builds?

[arctic jetty]

I can show some of mine if you'd like :) they're all very random though, no reap pattern to em all

[obsidian pier]

Yh that would be good if possible thankyou

[arctic jetty]

Couldn't find pics of the third so here's what i have XD

Found it on my iPad XD

[obsidian pier]

Those look amazing, especially the 3rd one and the 4th

[arctic jetty]

Tysmmmm

Those are my 2 most used ships, so glad you like them!

[obsidian pier]

Yh I will use those to base mine off then, but hopefully I can build smth in that scale oneday

[arctic jetty]

You got this! It just takes time, dedication, and resisting the urge to yeet your device into the nearest wall XDDD

[obsidian pier]

Thanks so much again, have a good rest of your day or night!

[arctic jetty]

Of course, glad they were able to help!

[glass forum]

BRO THIS LOOKS INSANE IM SUPER JEALOUS OF YOUR TALENT

[white smelt]

Does anybody know what glitch was used in building this? It uses the freighter habs in order to do this, I wanna know what glitch is use in making this cause it looks really nice on the inside.

The person who built it said that his friend on PC built the Freighter hab part, so I he doesn't know. I am wondering if it is a mod that was used and if so what mod.

[rain totem]

probably too blocky

[glass surge]

If his friend built the Freighter hab on PC it was most likely modded or done in blender and probably not considered legit ship in no mans sky without using the same mods; I have no idea especially because i don't mod but you can try also asking in #nms-modding and see if they have any clues on what mods can accomplish this

[white smelt]

Okay

[rain totem]

bleh

[dapper escarp]

Yo, that Corvette is amazing, I want to make one similar to it, like a small dreightnought, any tips for what parts to use?

[rain totem]

I like the parts from the expedition; theyre the atlas-looking ones im using. Id say start with doing the expedition

[dapper escarp]

Is the expedition hard, I haven't done one before. But it looks worth it for those parts

[rain totem]

nah its easy. I knocked it out in like 2 hours

unless youve got submecha/thalassaphobia

which I do but I powered through

[fervent mist]

this good? my fikrst everf corvette, 15hres playtime rn'

[dapper escarp]

I'll try it then, thank you for pointing me in the direction

[rain totem]

just make sure youre doing it on your main save and not a fresh save if you want hte parts

I mean I think the blueprints will still carry over but the free parts wont

[fervent mist]

i lvled it up

with naanites

[dapper escarp]

Ah k

Must be pretty broke on nanites myself then

[fervent mist]

its very ez to get , just go to outlaw sttation, buy packs and sell the tech modules for naanites

u need few millions for that tho

[rain totem]

at work we'd call this a breaker man

[dapper escarp]

I just figured that out like 20 minutes ago, but I got 150mil from a nice guy so that's kinda the only reason I can

[fervent mist]

nice

i got pissed when sm1 donated me 1billion

so i usd them on the corvette slot ugprade and realized ah maybe it wa s agood thing lol

bec i am nowhere near to maxing slots out and boom moeny gone

[rain totem]

yeah I think all corvettes start at C class and you gotta level em up manually

its 10k nanites for B, 25 for A, and 50 for S

[dapper escarp]

K, I was just worried I was making my Corvette wrong

[shadow crow]

Seen this today

[dapper escarp]

Honestly, is it even easy to fly those close to a planet, given the size?

Or close to any thing 😔

[thorn ridge]

how

[arctic jetty]

Yeah I got that one too lol

[shadow crow]

From what iv gathered, a bot joins your game and builds it for you

[arctic jetty]

No. The only reason most have it is as a size flex XD. It's so huge it's impractical. Not to mention it can be very leggy for yourself or others

[shadow crow]

Im yet too try it, but looks super cool

[arctic jetty]

Yeah, service bot

It's actually stupid easy

If my stupid ass can do it, then anyone can

[shadow crow]

He showed me the Deathstar, it was too big for the space station

[arctic jetty]

Forgot about that one

Yeah, it's cool

[shadow crow]

For the emperor.

[pliant mango]

When I’m bartering for advanced parts what do I trade them for? I’ve got basic parts but are those not valid? Sorry I’m a total noob

[arctic jetty]

For the emperor!

[shadow crow]

You have too find a planet with Salvaged Scrap, and go dig it up, that will give you Corvette mods you can trade

[halcyon sky]

fear will keep the local star systems in line

[pliant mango]

Ah thanks

[shadow crow]

it will be listed in the description if a planet has scrap or not.

[pliant mango]

My current Corvette looked so bulky it’s sad

[shadow crow]

Get close too the surface, put your corvette on Autopilot and hop out the driver site and start using your scanner

when you find some scrap just hop back into the driver seat and shoot it with your ship, dont even need too touch down on the ground

[pliant mango]

Is there a way for it to Js hover cuz when I do that it still flies at a decent speed

[shadow crow]

If your on PC, it is the X menu, you have 2 choices, leave the driver seat, or set Autopilot

just set it on Autopilot too stay on its current course and it keeps moving even when you hop out

[pliant mango]

K thanks

hey fellas I've got an issue with my corvette and I'm wondering if you know a workaround. While building my base I somehow stuck a floor piece "on" my corvette that was close-by.

Now it floats way below my corvette, I can't remove it outside the corvette workshop but when I'm there it's under the ground and I can't reach it. Any ideas?

you can use mods like better build mode no clip to get under the area with your camera

Cant use it.

[arctic jetty]

Wait a minute I just realized I think I've seen you in game before

[river barn]

could be

its a copy of a ship i have seen in a video

[arctic jetty]

Yeah, I've seen you in galaxy 150, the server we share confirms it!

[river barn]

thats funny

[arctic jetty]

Lol, yeh. Flew over you yesterday, trying to get to someone's base

Still, awesome ship!

[short herald]

Boooo.

[river barn]

yeah i love it

[hoary agate]

Send booos to hg maybe they will hear

[short herald]

I do, quite often in fact - but I also know they can't catch every single small thing - anyway, it can be sold for units, so it's fine

[rain totem]

is there any way to make big ships manuever better or am I kinda screwed

like I have highish manueverability in the build menu but it flies kinda rancid

[glacial willow]

Whaddya think?

[glacial willow]

How did u got those spec parts?

[river barn]

expedition that is going on now

[rain totem]

Ok i moved some stuff around and stapled some manueverability mods on some supercharged slots

moves better now but I had to sacrifice DPS

so I tested that out the only way I know how

declaring war on a sentinel capital ship as one does

still works pretty damn well

[slender prawn]

what do you do with a corvette you dont want anymore? i assume you cant salvage it like a regular ship

[hoary agate]

Dismantle and sell parts. Exchange with npc pilot

[slender prawn]

how best i got was 1400

[somber apex]

I managed to install an Arcadia Sublight Booster backwards so it was inside the hab module

[high valve]

is there any way to have hatches flipped to the side?

so instead of a rear opening i could have multiple side entries

instead of this putting them on the sides

[long pawn]

I feel you could put together a similar corvette with in-game parts and a little bit of glitching. You could definitely recreate it in Blender. But, you'd have to ask the friendly, neighborhood users of Blender on how to go about it. I look forward to seeing your progress!

[long pawn]

The easiest way is to have a decent layout out of super charged tech slots, upgrade to S class, and to pay attention to the build order of your engines. Here's a video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYZ9dgBt0bQ

[rain totem]

I gotta be honest the devs had a solid idea with corvettes but good lord they didnt think it through

theres a lotta basic QOL kinda stuff corvettes should have that they dont like this

[high valve]

yeah but hey thats what the suggestions box is there for right? :D

ive already sent it as a suggestion

[scarlet tulip]

No need for any build order stuff. You can swap the slots things are in after the ship is built.

[urban nexus]

@pale kiln May I ask how’d you manage to hide the cockpit on your clipper inspired corvette?

[dapper escarp]

When using the Corvette parts from an expedition and the plans do I build the Corvette in the expedition and then copy it over, or can I just build it on the main one
