[magic orchid]

Working on a complete overhaul of the Dauntless to use the expedition stuff

[glass surge]

You can copy the expedition one to your main save or just build a new one on your main save.

The atlas / aeron parts are transferable to your main save and once back on your main save you can claim the atlas parts from the quicksilver vendor at the anomaly.

They also require materials like Pugenum, Salvaged Glass, and silver and metal plating to craft

[dapper escarp]

K, thank you

[dapper escarp]

What habital part would work best as a base for a mini dreadnought Corvette

[slow quarry]

They all look the same from the outside I think, so it's whatever you prefer for the inside

[lost gulch]

Does anyone have cool looking Corvette Designs? Attached to their JSON File? So I can Export/Import It to my save?

[pale kiln]

Sure, this one is pretty easy, I just build some glass walls around the cockpit (the red ones). The cockpit is hard to spot through them
On other corvettes I use the hab glitch, placing a 1x1 hab and attaching the cockpit, then deleting the 1x1 and replacing it with a 2x1 hab and adding windows to the front and sides

[late falcon]

oooo an Executor

[river barn]

thats big

[abstract crow]

Someone's actively building one that far larger and intricate.

[river barn]

44k nanites away from my S class corvette

[naive drum]

I always ignore the fact that I own a part that is not yet implemented.

If you're wondering, it is (or was) available to acquire through bartering at the space station like any other piece, but it cannot be placed; it does not appear in the construction menu.

[glass surge]

You can still get the cargo box from actual salvageable scrap modules on planets if you farm parts but it's still not used in corvette building

[cursive lark]

Fun fact they removed the ability to get this as it was actually a test item and wasn't supposed to make it into the game yet

[faint summit]

ive been wanting to build the celestial eye mothership as a corvette for a while now and i cant wrap my head around it bc of some the shapes
i always just go back to bare bones bc the nose of the ship always looks way off

[wheat rain]

Does the medi pod on the corvette do anything? Can’t interact with it

[glass surge]

it's purely decorative right now but people have put regular base medi dispenser on the floor and the pod over it to make it work

[velvet ruin]

What is that ungodly maneuverability value 😭

Ain't no way I got the next level role from that

[cursive lark]

If you place a health restoring item on the floor under the bay then place the bay it will look like it can heal you

[frigid depot]

Save edited for modules that should be unobtainable

[tough plank]

No, just a mod that cancels the overloading. I've got 15 or so Pulse Engine upgrades in there.

[mild vigil]

Do you guys think i cooked?

[rain totem]

I feel like that's too high lol

[hollow trench]

maybe a little

[south garnet]

how do i get more slots?

like isnt it on space stations but i need a farming method

[cursive lark]

Starship upgrade station in the back of the space station

[south garnet]

cuz they cost so much

[cursive lark]

Costs units or you can scrap ships to get storage augmentations which increase inventory for free

[south garnet]

wuh

like normal starships?

[cursive lark]

Yes

They have a chance to give the augmentations which can be used on normal ships and corvettes

[south garnet]

good method?

for farming them

[tough plank]

Yeah.

[cursive lark]

Just scrap lots of ships, use maps from the space station cartographer to find them

[eager vessel]

I have a spoiler for my corvette that looks different on the left side compared to the right. Is there a way to make that part look correct on both sides?

[cursive lark]

I have no idea what you mean, could you put a picture in?

[eager vessel]

Well, it look like two left shoes. If fits on one side but looks ridiculous on the other side. I don't see a match in the list of parts so assumed there was a control to make the part mirror the opposite side.

[cursive lark]

There is

On Xbox controller it's x

[eager vessel]

I'm on steam quest 3

[cursive lark]

Thought you were having trouble designing the side

[cursive lark]

That's not a thing. You mean meta quest 3?

[eager vessel]

Right

It plays on steam vr for me.

[cursive lark]

Yeah pretty sure it's still x

Should be on the left hand

Never played on VR so guessing

Just from looking at the controllers

[eager vessel]

I will try it again. I thinkni pushed ever button but maybe I missed x.

[cursive lark]

Never hurts to check. There are tooltips at the bottom of the screen

[eager vessel]

You should play on vr. Really nice.

[cursive lark]

Oh you know what I was wrong

X is to flip vertical

Left trigger to swap sides

[cursive lark]

Would if I had a headset

Planning on getting the steam frame when it releases

If it's not too expensive

[eager vessel]

One button rotates it. I didn't find one to flip it to the other side. I will try it again.

Thank you.

[long pawn]

Look at @mild vigil's corvette at #nms-corvette-discussion message for a possible solution on how to do your Celestial Eye Corvette's nose.

[mild vigil]

No way someone's using my design as an example

[long pawn]

Is that a display bug??? 13.7K??? faints

[long pawn]

Why not? You did a great job!

[mild vigil]

Thanks, though seeing what everyone else is cooking up in here i feel like didn't do good enough yet

[faint summit]

guy my brain hurtws

[long pawn]

Ha! Mine does too. But, if you break it down to just one piece at a time, it starts to make sense.

[faint summit]

this game and satisfactory are going to make me have a stroke 💀

[long pawn]

You'll get there. But, remember, it's not a competition, except against yourself. If you even want to be competitive.

[long pawn]

Ah, a fellow perfectionist. /salute

[harsh scroll]

If u can't get 2x2 super charged slots what are good alternate layouts?

[long pawn]

[

[harsh scroll]

Yeah I'm being a masochist

[long pawn]

ha!

[hoary agate]

T , P , L , +

[harsh scroll]

Thanks!

[long pawn]

Yeah. I also like the one like a bracket or bowl.

[harsh scroll]

I had three in a line but the fourth was 2 rows down from the line. It was mean

[hoary agate]

3+1 layout is good

[harsh scroll]

🤔

If I run into it again I may keep it then

[long pawn]

'Eh... you could still make a really good ship with that. Don't get too caught up in getting the perfect layout. You'll just frustrate yourself. Take a slightly less optimal layout as a challenge.

Even a totally f*cked layout can be a fun exercise to squeeze out every little bit of performance from it.

[hoary agate]

I dont care about stats if it looks good enough

[long pawn]

nods

[harsh scroll]

My OCD wants the glowy slots close more than that stats

[long pawn]

But, everyone has their own definition of fun. Some people love to min/max. Whereas, I'm more into creating something which looks good and performs well enough to handle pirates and sentinels.

[harsh scroll]

I just want the glowy spots touching lol

Super charged slots are one of the worst things they added for anybody with ocd

[long pawn]

Yeah, RNG is often a pain for people with OCD. It's a real trigger.

[harsh scroll]

Just let me manually organize them!

Also the teleporter list!

I dunno, tempting

[visual marten]

Made my first corvette ship!

I still have 14 slots before i hit the limit lol

[main prawn]

You cant remove the photon cannon from a corvette right?

anyway to make another weapon take first priority

its getting annoying switching to infra knife each time

[autumn obsidian]

super bummed the aeron parts need salvaged glass

i have none

[harsh scroll]

Time for you to slaughter robots

[harsh scroll]

It's not 2x2 but how it is?

I think it satisfies my OCD at least and stop me from kicking myself over the 3 + 1 I ran into.

What happens to the Corvette if I choose "do fresh edits" do I lose this particular seed?

[glass surge]

if you already added it or let autosave save then it's yours it looks like

[harsh scroll]

So I won't lose it if I push do fresh edits?

[glass surge]

fresh edits change your corvette to what it was previously which can be handy if you screwed up a placement or deleted something you didn't mean to

Once you click add ship to collection that corvette is pretty much yours

[harsh scroll]

Ah

Great!

[visual marten]

Curious if anyone has suggestions, cause ive been unsure what id honestly add or change about this one

Its got 3 floors with windows on two of them, more than enough space for all storage applications and multiple healing chambers in the second floor

[harsh scroll]

I have no suggestions, I just wonder if you're going to stab a giant space whale with it lol

[visual marten]

The front holds the giant beasts still while we look at them through the windows! :]

it does have maxxed out rockets, beams, and hyperdrive so it could totally do that

[harsh scroll]

It looks great

I wouldn't want to run into in dark space

[visual marten]

Ironically the outside is completely contradicting to the inside, its very cozy lol

Got 3 separate exits for people to deploy from too

[harsh scroll]

anybody else have an issue flipping veriticle with controllers?

It's marked as unmapped but when I go to the steam mapping it says melee attack

I don't see a flip option in there

[glass surge]

Q is default melee attack on PC without a controller and this screen shows defaults which are e and r

[harsh scroll]

The problem is I don't see a mapping to charge it in the steam maps

Also why is the what telling me I can build something, but as soon as I flip it, it becomes unbuildable/ 0

Vesper rim defuser for example

but if I place it on the other side first it says zero here

[pulsar sinew]

Could I borrow some corvette aeron parts? Only need one of each

[harsh scroll]

The expedition where you can unlock them if currently happening

[river barn]

40k nanites for S rank corvette lol

[river barn]

finally S

[north garden]

my first corvette is ready to explore 🙂

now got to bring it from B to S

[real prawn]

how do you get such high manoeuvreability

[woeful zodiac]

supercharge

3 upgrades plus 3 corvette engines

other blueprints

[river barn]

still in progress

[real prawn]

can you say what parts got you the manouvreability??

[river barn]

right side in orange square

[real prawn]

alright thanks

[harsh scroll]

Are there any blue prints besides those in the station?

(and the current expedition)

[cursive lark]

You mean the ones you can buy from the station? Yes, there's tons more that you can find on planets with salvageable scrap

If you go into the build menu you can see all of them

[elder iron]

Almost all

Well, all, but some arent available outside creative mode yet for some reason

[harsh scroll]

Holy crap I melted it

[hoary agate]

Yes. Phase beam is broken.

[visual marten]

Im glad i maxxed out phase beam lol

[harsh scroll]

I didn't and oh geez

[harsh scroll]

Is there a list of those only available on planets?

The build menu is overwhelming to look at

[elder iron]

The ones that arent available are some of the hull connectors

[pliant pecan]

Hey guys. So I wanna make a corvettee

In standard mode

So like what material I need?

Do I have to farm prints in planets?

How do I get inside decorations for the corvette

You can buy parts from the corvette terminal, but only the basic parts and a couple decor things. For everything else, you need to find a planet with salvageable scrap

[cursive lark]

Just the decor parts from the anomaly build console

[severe plaza]

I need help please!!

With Curvette building( i’m trying to find the parts i need but the names in the game is completely different from the names in youtube ) please help this is driving me crazy !!!!

[pliant pecan]

Maybe in purchase advance part and than trade the blueprint

[main prawn]

i tried making a sleek looking aeron corvette but with usable space inside

i used so many steps if you asked me to replicate it id have no clue

[elder iron]

If i could play nms rn I'd say "gimme 5 minutes" lol

[main prawn]

yeah its like 9 pieces

i somehow bugged the weapons inside the blades

[hardy oracle]

This layout may help if you're chasing higher maneouvrability:

[terse gazelle]

how did i do?

[terse gazelle]

how did you make the pieses ceprate form the ship?

[mild vigil]

Made a few adjustments

[terse gazelle]

damn thats good

[mild vigil]

Thanks man

This used to be the old model btw

[vernal snow]

The Millennium Falcon build is too hard to make

[terse gazelle]

curntly working on a ship that prduses its own hyperdrive fuel

[vernal snow]

Has anyone ever done the accurate build from a 4 part video ?

I am having a problem with the fork at the front on the right side

And I am on part 1 at the fork part

[main prawn]

isnt that just a corvette with barrel fabricators

every few warps i get like 8 warp cells

[terse gazelle]

yea but im puttingg them in the spots that do give eaither antimatter or casing

[mild vigil]

Can i send a video of how my Corvette performed in combat?

[hardy oracle]

Sure! I'm curious to see how others perform. I timed my own fights and found that it takes about 3 seconds to kill most ships, but I am just using a photon cannon. I'd be curious to see how well other weapons perform.

High difficulty pirate mission used as test target to see time to kill with photon cannon

[mild vigil]

I eradicated a sentinel freighter in seconds

[hardy oracle]

It does seem like beam damage is pretty intense. I'd probably use them myself but I can't really justify spending slots on two different weapons. Maybe one day we'll be able to unequip the photon cannon and I'll reconsider

[mild vigil]

Gonna try the same thing with the infra knife now

Give me a minute

[hardy oracle]

I do like how good the photon cannon autoaim is though. I'm bad at aiming

[mild vigil]

The clip hasn't finished uploading to ps app but holy hell this can't be called a fight anymore

It's a slaughter

[hardy oracle]

The infra-knife is quite a popular weapon, probably for good reason 🙂

[harsh scroll]

What's overkill for a shield stat? I have to redo parts of my Corvette

It was pretty but had no functionally

The shields bar was full too

I think I had around 400 shield

[mild vigil]

Idk my shield strength is at 461.9 so I'd say anything over 500 is a bit over the top

[mild vigil]

0.2 seconds

That's how long it took to destroy 4 sentinel starships

[harsh scroll]

I have this for slots so that much shield without even using them was nuts

[hardy oracle]

Shields aren't super important after a certain point, since you can always just recharge them in combat if you are at any risk of dying. But 400 is a decent shield. You can easily get over 500 if you really care enough to add the shield reactors, but there really aren't any challenges that demand it.

[mild vigil]

Same I'm using the super charged spots for my infra knife build

[harsh scroll]

Alright thanks

[hardy oracle]

Maybe I should switch weapons after all. But that vestigial photon cannon would bother me

I do actually have a single tech slot to spare at the moment, so I could do it without having to give up anything of importance. No way I could fit two upgraded weapons though

[elder iron]

I wanna upgrade my permadeath corvette tech inventory, lol

[harsh scroll]

Do reach of the reactors serve a different functions

And if the launch charger redundant with one of them like it is solar sails

[elder iron]

The reactors definitely serve different functions
Medusa: flight systems, aka maneuverability, fuel efficiency, and boost
Azimuth: landing gear, launch efficiency, auto-charging
Zenith: hyperdrive, warp range, fuel efficiency
Cetus: independent shield system

[harsh scroll]

And when it says performance what is it referring too, it's kinda vague

[elder iron]

Having multiple azimuths is useful for increasing the fuel efficiency of launching, but most players rarely land their corvette

I like landing mine, so I tend to include multiple

[hardy oracle]

Yes, also they don't interfere with eachother. You can have 3 of each. (Though getting 3 of the medusa require special placement order since it conflicts with cockpits

[harsh scroll]

Conflicts with cockpits?

[hardy oracle]

Cockpit and medusa reactors give the same stats, but cockpits have less. So if you want to optimize maneouvrability you'll want to place 3 medusas before you place your cockpit

[elder iron]

Oh yeah, for adjacency, flight system is just Medusa reactors and cockpit, azimuth buffs landing gear, zenith buffs hyperdrive, and cetus is on its own for some reason

[elder iron]

Sometimes different class adjacency can be better, so some corvettes may see better performance with cockpit and 2 medusa

[hardy oracle]

I suppose that could be possible, but I doubt it. I've only ever seen cockpits show up with bad stats

[elder iron]

Ever put a cockpit in sc slot?

[hardy oracle]

No, it hasn't occured to me. Do they scale differently than other stuff?

[elder iron]

Corvette tech parts seem to recieve much higher buffs compared to random modules of their class

But the benefits almost certainly depend on sc slot layout

[hardy oracle]

I wanted to reserve one supercharged slot for my weapon system, so I ended up using the other 3 to boost my x-class maneouvrability modules

[harsh scroll]

It looks like thrusters have diminishing returns?

[elder iron]

Yes, but still worth having 3

[hardy oracle]

Corvette part stats are weird. I haven't seen anyone come up with a conclusive theory yet. It just seems random to me, but not random in the sense that it changes when you redo it. Maybe the random seed is tied to the ship itself instead. Sometimes the third part has the highest stats too

My shield pieces gave me 8,7 and 8, for example. But when I swapped the first part out for a different model I got 13, 7, 8. So there's definitely some sort of pattern to it. I just don't get what the pattern is

However, placing it in a different order but having the exact same pieces gave me 8,7, 7

[cursive lark]

Aggressive, I like it

[vocal gust]

How many of each type of upgrade can be used on a corvette? I found a layout that someone I watch on YT had which showed I think it was 6 hyperdrive components, I tried it and got an error. Not sure how to tell how many and what types (S, X etc) can be used for each item. Is there a guide?

[elder iron]

You have the core tech, three random modules, three zenith reactors, and the four chromatic upgrades

Plus the emergency warp unit, but thats more of a side-system

[vocal gust]

Ok, I think I got it now. thanks

Now, here's one thing, my corvette, I didn't use zenith reactors, I used Ceto which look to affect shields, not engines. So does that mean I "lose" 3 upgrades in engines but gain 2 (I used 2 reactors) in shields?

[cursive lark]

The six hyperdrive things probably came from the three Mac upgrades and three zenith reactors, may also have been the warp drives that let you get to different colors of stars

[harsh scroll]

The game keeps deleting parts

This is stupid

[glass surge]

IF your exosuit is full the part will get put in the corvette or another ship

[harsh scroll]

It's not in my suit no

Or my other ship, also not in the Corvette cash

[elder iron]

You can add on three zenith reactors and have them appear. The limit is your available tech slots

[vocal gust]

Ok, I will just have to figure out where to hide them now 🙂

[mystic briar]

I have a corvette that I don’t want anymore how do I delete one to make room?

[glass surge]

take off all the good parts you want to keep until you have just the basic parts of a corvette, trade it with a npc for their ship, and scrap the starship to free up a slot

[cursive lark]

Go to a space station and trade ships with an NPC pilot, then scrap their ship

[harsh scroll]

Only two out of 3 Medusa class reactors appear in the menu?

[glass surge]

In the tech slots only 2 will appear and they work with the cockpit but to get all three to appear delete all but one, apply edits, edit the corvette again delete the cockpit and then add all 3 and then add the cockpit last and you should get three medusa reactors in the tech slots.

[harsh scroll]

And now the cockpit isn't there

[glass surge]

it's there but it doesn't count in the techslots

[harsh scroll]

Is it supposed to?

[glass surge]

The cockpit counts for working with the meduss reactors but three medusa reactors outweigh the benefits of just having the cockpit and two medusa reactors. I's a way of really optimizing maneuverability

Is the launch auto charger redundant with the reactors?

Or do they stack

[glass surge]

yes since azimuth reactors have three benefits

and they auto charge

[harsh scroll]

Yes redundant or yes stuck?

Sorry, very tired

[glass surge]

yes redundant

[autumn obsidian]

cetus is shields

[harsh scroll]

How do I pick what theaters end up in the menu?

I did and edit and it changed to one of my aesthetic thrusters

[nimble stirrup]

huh

[glass surge]

what ever thrusters you want to be your main need to be the first ones placed and then everything else after the first 3 is aesthetic; may take some juggling of thrusters

[harsh scroll]

Okay thank you

[south garnet]

do you guys have tips for building corvettes?

[fleet cargo]

Ty man

[south garnet]

is this too wide for a small corvette?

[cursive lark]

Only if you think it is

[south garnet]

but i cant make choices?

and i think it is a bit but i dont know how to compact it maybe ill just clutter it so the booster joint is less sticky outy

[harsh scroll]

ook me all day with trial and error but...

[fleet rose]

Here is my ship. The Skyward Express.

Also I don't mind if you guys come to my star system.

Here another ship from my other save file.

I will admit a lot more cool looking then the Skyward Express.

[harsh scroll]

makes me think of the Earth battleships from Star gate!

[fleet rose]

Sadly I never played star gate.

Also found out that my old saved is gone.

[harsh scroll]

It's a TV series

from the early 2000's

Bummer

[fleet rose]

Oh ok. Never watch it.

[fleet rose]

So yeah I have to build a new Dusty City all over again.

[harsh scroll]

I make save backups using an app because I've lost so many saves

[fleet rose]

I might have to make back ups as well. But on the up side where I am building my new city have more the 3 Planets this time.

Just need to come up names for the other 4 worlds I have not named yet.

[alpine topaz]

been playing nms for like a week now, been really diggin it. This is my ship, I call it The Instigator

[south garnet]

nice

question is it copying if i see a cool starship and use a part of the design

like just a few pieces

[north ridge]

can I fly other people in my corvette

[nimble stirrup]

yes

[cedar hinge]

any name suggestions for my new corvette?

[placid holly]

Beefcake xox

[cedar hinge]

💀

[placid holly]

Real cool vette tho man

[cedar hinge]

thx

[placid holly]

Yeyw

[vernal snow]

Has anyone ever done the accurate build for The Millennium Falcon in a 4 part video ?

[final kayak]

HUGE corvette

[last iris]

I made a corvette based on Darth Maul's Scimitar

[cedar hinge]

ofc when im actually cooking for once i get hit with the build limit

[cedar hinge]

just sat here building this for me to not even be able to use it cus of the build limt💀

[vernal snow]

That is beautiful

[pliant pecan]

Umm guys how do I make stairs inside the corvettes to go up

Ohhhhh gotta press Z lol

why is this two not connecting?

white and the red one

on top

[pliant pecan]

Finally worked

[pliant pecan]

Now the side hab are not connecting 😭

[mild vigil]

Btw this is what i meant when i said it's not a fight anymore but a slaughter

[loud nymph]

Oml I'm so upset 😭, I just spent several hours building but I didn't realise there is a complexity limit 😭😭

[hoary agate]

There is a pc mod to turn off the build limit.

[loud nymph]

I'm Playing on ps5

[fair spire]

do you have a build guid by any chancee?

[mild vigil]

Put three infra knife turrets on your Corvette, put the turrets into the supercharged spots in the ship inventory and try to get an S rank infra knife module that increases fire rate and put that module into the super charged spot as well. After that just get 2 more S rank infra knife modules and you're good to go

[fair spire]

I like the whole ship tho not just the combat part XD

[river barn]

what is your dps?

[mild vigil]

Idk I'm not playing the game right now I'll get back to you later

[fair spire]

you dont have a full build guid T-T?

[mild vigil]

I built it myself i didn't use a guide

[fair spire]

ik but its so cool, I need it too, well anywway thx for the combat advice and its a gorgeous ship ngl. good job

[mild vigil]

Ight im gonna try and make a guide

But I'll get back to u later I'm playing something else rn

[fair spire]

oh really that would bee awasome

[fair spire]

ye ik, thank you.

i dmd you sr for that lol now that you are going to be making a guid the photos are not needed lol

[rugged notch]

huge star destroyer

[mild vigil]

Literally how tf is this possible

[fair spire]

mods?

[mild vigil]

I have no idea that's why I'm asking

[fair spire]

great pic btw, thats a wallpaper material

[fair spire]

someone said there is a mod for no build limit, so maybe?

[mild vigil]

Fuck

[open lily]

Hi.When I use my corvette pirates dont scan or attack me,bountys in high conflict systems dont appear.Is this a bug?

[rugged notch]

Thankyou

[rugged notch]

Mods + blender

As you can see..

[mild vigil]

MAN FUCK, I NEED THAT ON PS RIGHT NOW

[rugged notch]

U can get it.. just search on internet.. i got it from tiktok😋

[rugged notch]

Maybe

[open lily]

Thanks got help in the #nms-question chat.Very annoying

[devout gazelle]

Wait so what are all the parts required to build a working corvette? I dont feel like following the game’s tutorials because it takes too long

Minimum one of these parts:
Landing gear
Cockpit
Hab or walkway
Landing bay
Thruster
Reactor
Weapon

Ty

[elder iron]

As in one of each

[open lily]

Really miss the target practicing

[elder iron]

Hmm, have sentinels scanned you?

[alpine topaz]

anyone have any advice on how to make your ships look cleaner? I really like mine so far but the clutter/clunkyness kinda gets to me

[open lily]

They appear if I shoot traders for example.Also space stations still scan me

[elder iron]

I recall being scanned by pirates while in a corvette in my normal save

Do you have valuables in your exosuit or ship inventory?

[open lily]

Yes,platinum for example.Guess it's a bug and I'm one of the few affected

[elder iron]

Try something like gravitino balls

[open lily]

Gonna try,any tip or workaround is appreciated

[elder iron]

I just recall not having pirates scan me for gold as much as other types of artifacts

[hardy oracle]

That's a fun design! Maybe try blending pieces together a bit more though. Right now it looks a bit too separated. For example this thing might look more integrated if you lower it half a tile:

[autumn obsidian]

I have salvaged for many hours

still never seen any of these modules

is there some othe rsource I'm missing?

i would like to try a round design but never have any parts

[hardy oracle]

Hours? Unless you're salvaging on foot you should really have dozens of every piece by now. But fear not, you can always trade excess pieces for whatever you want at the space station.

[autumn obsidian]

I agree with you which is why I don't get why I'm missing some

[elder iron]

You havent seen any corvette modules at all?

[hardy oracle]

As for your other question, no. You can get almost everything through salvage or trading at the station. The exceptions are the black and red atlas pieces and the deadshot gun that comes from expeditions.

[elder iron]

Its specifically salvageable scrap that youd be harvesting to get them

[autumn obsidian]

there are a bunch that I have never seen and never gotten in salvage

all i do is salvage planets

[elder iron]

There are some modules in the build menu, mainly hull links, that dont spawn when looting for some reason

[autumn obsidian]

and some reactors?

[hardy oracle]

No, all reactors are available through salvage or trade

[elder iron]

All reactors can be obtained through salvage

[autumn obsidian]

but some are trade only?

[elder iron]

No

[hardy oracle]

No, nothing is trade only

Trade is just an alternative to salvage if you have excess pieces

[autumn obsidian]

hmm, alot of mine are grayed out

frustrating

[elder iron]

There are only 4 types of reactors, all of which can be obtained by harvesting salvageable scrap

[elder iron]

Hull pieces and decorations are more common than functional parts

[hardy oracle]

Just checking to be sure, when you said many hours of salvage, you did mean bombarding planets from the air, right? Otherwise it really does take a long time to gather up all the pieces.

[autumn obsidian]

nah i do it from the ground. didnt' even know you could

[elder iron]

Even on foot, you should get plenty

[autumn obsidian]

i do have plenty, just none of some which is strange

very few casings

not enough to even use on a build

[hardy oracle]

If you have spares of other stuff, you can just trade them. Doesn't cost anything except your excess pieces

[random zinc]

you probably haven't gotten the ones that can't be gotten

[hardy oracle]

I really don't think that's the case here. There's only a few blocks that are unobtainable and none of them are pieces I would describe as "round"

[autumn obsidian]

ONE speedbird dome in that many hours?

i dont think so

i'm missing something here

i only have 1 or 2 speedbird pieces period

it's strange

[hardy oracle]

Bombardment can get you a new piece every 10-30 seconds if you find a good planet for it.

[autumn obsidian]

shouldn't matter how i do it

some just aren't getting looted

[hardy oracle]

Why not trade for them then?

Random loot is random. That's why there's trading

[autumn obsidian]

the fact that trading exists doesn't explain looting ONE speedbird dome section in hundreds of loots

[hardy oracle]

But why is this even a problem? Just trade for it if you want it.

[autumn obsidian]

because I really only salvage and i have no reason to visit planets if i trade

cant I play how I want

and i just want to know why it doesn't appear to be working

[hardy oracle]

You can, but random things are just random. There's nothing broken about what you describe.

[autumn obsidian]

random only goes so far

[hardy oracle]

It perfectly explains your situation though

[autumn obsidian]

unless they have super rare pieces

[hardy oracle]

They aren't rare. It's just random and you clearly don't have enough pieces to guarantee all of them

[autumn obsidian]

ok math man, can I count all my loots and you can break it down for me?

[hardy oracle]

You'd have to loot near a thousand to have a good chance of getting at least one of evertthing.

[autumn obsidian]

get your equation ready

[hardy oracle]

It really isn't that complicated. There's over a hundred pieces. So to have a reasonable chance of at least one of everything you'd have to loot over a thousand. That gives you a roughly 90% chance of having at least one of each piece.

[main prawn]

apart from being customizable like what unique use do corvettes have?

ive had one since almost i started playing and i love messing around with the build but i always feel myself returning to my normal starship

cause storage i just summon my frieghter

[hardy oracle]

Their base stats are similar to haulers, but they have special modules that stack with regular modules. So in the end all stats are going to be higher with a fully teched out corvette. Not so much that you should feel it is a requirement to switch though. As for unique uses, you are able to leave the seat and have the corvette hover in place and jump out of it, which means you never have to worry about launch fuel ever again.

As far as I can tell, there is nothing a regular starship can do that corvettes can't do (a little bit) better, but getting a corvette to be faster than a fighter takes some effort.

[elder iron]

Casings? Like engine casings?

[south garnet]

does it count as copying if i use inspo and take a tiny part of it

[elder iron]

I dont think people care too much about copying

[hardy oracle]

It's not like it detracts from theirs in any way. Just build whatever makes you happiest.

[smoky tide]

Dumn question. I just got my first corvette but I ran out of room to install tech. How do i get more spaces to add them and more modules? Sorry I'm a noob I have like 25 hours total

[elder iron]

The trick is to install upgrade modules, then remove all except the bare minimum of functional corvette modules, then fill the tech slots as much as you can, and then add those corvette modules back

[hardy oracle]

There are three ways, you can buy new slots at the back of space stations for units. This is extremely expensive though. You can use storage augmentations in the same place to add slots. Storage augmentations are mainly obtained by scrapping other ships. Thirdly, you can fill your tech slots and then add pieces to the corvette that would spawn a tech, that'll increase the size for free.

That last method is cheating of course, so at that point you could also just turn on free build mode and "buy" the slots at a station

[smoky tide]

Interesting. So i could apply all the tech then just go edit corvette and add all the pieces I have for free?

[elder iron]

It is definitely not cheating, it takes far more effort than changing the difficulty

And it only works to the ship class slot limit

[hardy oracle]

It is absolutely cheating. But I'm not saying that should stop you. Only you decide whether you are cheating yourself out of gameplay you like or not.

[elder iron]

It genuinely isnt cheating though, its intentional game design

[hardy oracle]

It's clearly a bug. Exploiting bugs is cheating. But it's not like you're harming anyone but yourself so just go for it.

[smoky tide]

I'm going to consider it a in game handicap

Thanks

[hardy oracle]

You're still going to have to use the other two methods to increase your general ship inventory though. The exploit only works on tech slots

[smoky tide]

Thats fine by me. I just wanted to deck out my ship and I ran out of room

[elder iron]

Well, there might be a way to push more cargo slots, but it would likely be even more difficult, lol

I havent tested what happens if you remove a module that adds cargo slots when all slots in the ship are full

[hardy oracle]

At some point one really should just consider toggling free build :p

[smoky tide]

Does free build disable milestones

[hardy oracle]

Don't think it disables anything, but I've never used it so I'm unsure.

Ill google it then lol

[visual marten]

Ive been thinking about making a spherical ship sometime, as compact as possible

Hoping to go for a simplistic design

[elder iron]

Spherical will be hard

[visual marten]

Indeed
Something that contrasts the triangular shape of my aeron ship would be awesome though

[elder iron]

If you want rounded, speedbird and firebox parts are your best bet

[south garnet]

does anyone have a good farming method for augments?

[hardy oracle]

Just by scrapping ships. One way to find free ships to scrap is by doing missions for the autophages. Many of their missions just point you to the nearest ship and asks you to scrap it

[south garnet]

how do you get them from ships

i got a ship but do i claim unit worth or extract module

[hardy oracle]

I know you get them from the former. Unsure about if you also get them in the latter method. Probably both?

[south garnet]

i think it needs to be a or s ship

[hardy oracle]

Higher improves the chances and number of augmentations, but you can get them from all classes

[south garnet]

yep

[proper narwhal]

Used all my money to make this awful first corvette but on the bright side I got a corvette AND freighter today

[south garnet]

honestly that thing would be sick if it was symmetrical (i may have a slight bit of symmetry OCD)

[proper narwhal]

I think I can see what your saying I just don’t have the other engine like that

[sonic kite]

Is this possible

Or have a faulsly believed the internet once again .

[proper narwhal]

If you find out lmk bc that’s dope

[sonic kite]

I will find out ... lol

I didn't know we could glitch build skeletal fossils into our corvettes ...

[paper delta]

EXCUSE ME WHAT THE FUCJ ITS SO COOL

Now you need like a fleet of friends flying in unison to make the body

And yes it's possible I saw a guy with a skull on his giant ship

[sonic kite]

@proper narwhal yes it is real .. and yes it can be created .

[paper delta]

i pressent it to you! my corvette :3

[sonic kite]

Good job 👏
I like it

[paper delta]

thank uuuu :D

i tried to make it sleek

[sonic kite]

Looks sleek

[paper delta]

and dangerous!

[sonic kite]

Hahahaha

That's funny

We said that at the same time

So I guess you did in fact make it look sleek

[paper delta]

it has interior :3

[sonic kite]

Cumphy

[paper delta]

???????

[sonic kite]

... cozy ?

[odd hazel]

Just finished making my corvette

[paper delta]

is there a way to paint it white?

[paper delta]

nice :D

[sonic kite]

Anything is possible

[paper delta]

im not being able to

[sonic kite]

Or atleast it seems

[odd hazel]

I had to make a mamba from Elite dangerous but I never found anything I liked so I made it from scratch haha

[sonic kite]

@odd hazel very nice as well

[odd hazel]

Thank you

[sonic kite]

Mine

Just finished it the other day

[odd hazel]

Damn you went full area 51, awesome

[sonic kite]

Haha yea it turned out fairly round

[paper delta]

idk

[paper delta]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT

[odd hazel]

There's mines comparison between NMS and Elite.

[sonic kite]

@paper delta I got creative

[paper delta]

how did u paint it so white?

[sonic kite]

@odd hazel I like the red n white

[odd hazel]

It's just with the red and white paint

@paper delta

It's metallic if that helps any haha

[sonic kite]

You have to find the piece you want to change the color of , and hit the big button on the controller .. (if you're on ps) ... im not sure what it is for other things

[paper delta]

yeah but it looks darker

[sonic kite]

Then you can attach that color to ever part on the corvette .

[paper delta]

and i want the canon to be the most notiacble thing

[magic orchid]

Free placement mod?

[sonic kite]

Choose between metallic and dirty and etc to change the color varient

@magic orchid no mod ... just glitch building

[visual marten]

You were right, spherical really is difficult

Especially if you want it on the smaller side…

[tough plank]

Yeah, sure is.

The smallest corvette I've seen is a Thunderbird Cockpit.

[elder iron]

The legit smallest is a rounded brick

[visual marten]

Ive made the smallest but it looks very… not circular lol

[tough plank]

Yeah, but how do you fly it?

[magic orchid]

Finally

[elder iron]

Same as any other corvette

When I say legit smallest I mean with all the required pieces, lol

[tough plank]

If there's no cockpit, then you can't fly it, right?

Oh.

That makes more sense.

[paper delta]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[paper delta]

we should fuse our ships to make a giant robot :D

[brisk quartz]

Hey I saw a corvette without landing gear or a cockpit it was a giant ufo with a Teleporter to get in how???

[elder iron]

Glitches, mods, and/or external building tools

[brisk quartz]

Damn

[harsh scroll]

So from what I'm gathering with Corvettes is stat wise they can be boosted similarly to like it was back when we could overclock tech card in both parts of the item screen?

[paper delta]

YOU CAN PUT LIGHTS

[gleaming ibex]

Has anyone here made a star trek ship? I'm not a fan, but I used to watch it with my dad when I was a kid, and I watched a few of them, like voyager, enterprise or Excelsior

[glass surge]

check this users modded build #nms-corvette-discussion message

[rugged notch]

3 star destroyer in 1 planet

[urban nexus]

does anyone know what the no mans sky base builder is? I’ve seen a couple people use the tool but can’t seem to find it myself, any help appreciated!

[gleaming ibex]

Awesome! I wonder how much time a ship like that one could take to build, jeez... I've seen builds with the 100 build limit, but goddamn, imagine a somewhat 1:1 recreation (even 1:10 would be damn huge)

[glass surge]

Try asking in #nms-modding or #nms-base-building but it seems to be a standalone application to build bases

[harsh scroll]

I think we both like orange

You have a beautiful ship

Though I'm biased towards forking designs like ours

[harsh scroll]

Also beautiful!

[magic orchid]

Megazord tech

[magic orchid]

Ty!

[autumn obsidian]

The gaps are why I wish the parts limit was even just 120

or like 128

whatever bits make sense

[magic orchid]

Realized that that picture doesn't actually do the shape justice, so top profile

[autumn obsidian]

that's dope

[magic orchid]

Ty, took forever to finally get the profile I wanted

[harsh scroll]

Yeah I spent all day the other day building the hull of mine. Lots of trail and error

[magic orchid]

I had wanted to just refit my original design, but the aeron parts don't play nice with snapping zones. So had to completely tear it down. Honestly, the worst part was the interior

[harsh scroll]

what the interor like?

mine is pretty simple because I'm not creative with the insides

I even ended up shrinking it just to the main part of the ship because I kept getting lost when I had the habs under the wings

apparently recolors of the ambassador habs aren't that noticeable

[magic orchid]

I'm on mobile right now, so can't get any screenshots. But it's got 2 living quarters with food processing, 2 bunks each, various decorations, one side has stuff for korvax/autophage theme quarters, the other is traveller/gek/vykeen theme. 2 refinery rooms with storage decorations, same for the actual cargo pod rooms. It also has a mini CIC with a meeting table, mission console, and some other monitoring themed equipment like a miniaturized universe deco and topology table. Finally its got a multi tool/weapon rack room for my military theme with various decos. The other rooms don't have any function, but I've still kitted them out, one of them has several funaces and a cyclonic lathe with barrels and such, the other has workbenches with hydraulic arms working on stuff like motors.

Oh, it's also got 2 agriculture rooms with plants and shit

[visual marten]

Found a way to use all 100 parts, S class corvette time!

Some features:
-4 Exit points
-4 Floors
-2000+ lightyear hyperdrive
-Maxxed out shield, phase beam, and rockets
-A comical amount of maneuverability

[south garnet]

how do i trade for multiple of the same corvette parts at a time?

[glass surge]

on PC I hover my mouse cursor over the part then use E to raise it and Q to lower the part count but there is no indicator of how many until i've selected until i go to the trade screen.

[pliant pecan]

Guys where do I find small decorative items for the ship? Like books, utensils etc

[glass surge]

You unlock base buildable items in the Anomaly at the Construction terminal behind where polo and nada are; you can then use those by entering base build mode wile inside or near your corvette

[visual marten]

@tight plover

Heres mine btw!

My ship is at exactly 100 parts lol

[tight plover]

That’s beautiful! I’m still getting the hang of corvette building, and I’d love one day to make something like that!

[visual marten]

This is actually my first corvette ever! I just started playing 2 weeks ago

[tight plover]

Well, welcome to No Man’s Sky! And a very well done to you;

[visual marten]

Ill be excited to see yours!

[tight plover]

Mine’s a tricky one to land, I have to admit, due to its size, and I’ve not painted it yet, but it does everything that I need it to. (Plus it has lethal phase beams)

[visual marten]

Phase beam gang
Mine does 4800 dmg

Landing is also kinda tricky with mine sometimes, but usually being low to the ground helps!

My ship has 4 exit points so it would probably be great for deploying an army lol

[pliant pecan]

How do I get more small decorative for the furniture

To place on top of table or shelf’s

[tight plover]

Haha lol; I feel you. Mine has half that, but I’ve placed it in areas that are strategic; there’s one pretty much underneath my cockpit and one at the far back end next to the storage containers and living walls

[exotic warren]

You can actually delete your unused corvette, Just exchange your corvette with lifeform's starship and then salvage your exchanged starship

and boom it's gone

[olive tide]

Is that done using a mod?

[frigid depot]

Looks like regular in game stuff to me

[olive tide]

I dont think I had those options, like the couch and table o.o

[paper delta]

It's vanilla I used data to unlock it at the anomaly

[olive tide]

I need to re-check then. Thanksies

[fleet stratus]

Has anyone tried making the star wars Goliath ship in NMS?

[hoary agate]

I dont think so but looks doable

[regal temple]

im new to the game and have probably spent more time editing corvettes than the actual game.

However I recently discovered that you can go beyond the initial tech slots avaliable when building.

Is there a limit to how many parts you can use?
And does this effect how many Techs you can use also?

[magic orchid]

Tech types are limited to 3 placeable modules per type. You'll get small stat changes if you place more than 3, but you won't be able to see them in your tech inventory, and won't be able to receive adjacency bonuses from them. You can still augment the performance of the Corvette using the same ship modules you would for a normal ship. Again, these are limited to 3 per type(excluding upgrades that you have learned from the tech terminal like the one in the anomaly) before you overload that tech type and have to delete one.

[bright lichen]

My first glitch build. No theme really.. wanted to make it look like two massive engines. I think it looks like a turtle.. s class 200 u/s (600 u/s boosting) in atmosphere

[regal temple]

Oh so thats why, for example if i place 3 Hulls or boosters. After a while they stop displaying.

So tech aside, I can continue to build aesthetically without any real limitations?

You see i assumed the tech slots was also my build limitations (including aesthetically)

[magic orchid]

You can

Other than the hard part limit of course, which is 100 unless you've modded it

[sturdy stratus]

last corvet i will build. always way to much effort

[magic orchid]

Also keep in mind, you can place standard base decorations inside, or outside your ship. They do not count towards part limit.

[regal temple]

Its glorious 🙌

[regal temple]

Awesome, thank you!

I actually wanted to make the ship themed based on the planets during the Event (I think its an event).

I went for a Spider/Scorpion using rattle spine decor

[plucky tartan]

Little preview of my W.I.P 🤌🙌

The back end has been updated but the front end is done!

[tough plank]

Nice. If you want more free placement with parts, you could use Base Builder.

[regal temple]

Here's that spider Scorpion inspired i mentioned, now I know i can place more parts i can shape it alot better to give it a real Halo/scarab vibe

wait ARE THEY ANGLED

Is this corvette too weird? Tried to make a slick, odd shaped explorer. Whatchu think? Tried to make it look like a nautilus for some reason

[tight plover]

@visual marten This is the Birth of Souls, sorry to keep you waiting lol

Two of the attached photos show two of the side areas on the right side, which is mirrored to the left. One contains living walls for plants whilst the other contains four or so storage containers total

The first three images show a comparison for scale; one is of my traveller, second is of my traveller closer up in front of the ship, third is of those comms towers I can’t remember the name of other than ‘holographic’

[visual marten]

Ooooo
We should compare ships sometime in game

[tight plover]

I’d love to!

[visual marten]

My two other ideas for ships are a death star like sphere and a ufo… gonna have fun making them hopefully

[tight plover]

Fingers crossed

By the way, Ace are you aware of energy cycling in your starship yet?

[visual marten]

Not too much no?

[tight plover]

So there’s a button somehow (don’t know if you’re on PC or Xbox or PS4)

Basically, you can essentially divert power to certain subsystems including weapons, shields and engines

Oh huh
I think ive always been using the balanced energy systems

[tight plover]

Lemme check

It’s pretty cool

Balanced is the baseline, but you can basically change it to something better for your current situation

[visual marten]

My thing is that i 2-3 shot pirate and sentinel ships already with phase beam and i hardly take damage from anything when in balance mode

I have never experienced actual danger for my ship lol

[tight plover]

Fair lol, I play permadeath and have been ended by pirates in my first few hours so if you ever attempt that or need a fast escape, that might be the way forward

Seriously though, pirates are evil in permadeath depending on the settings. Still, if they send three after your starter ship or even two, it becomes absolutely probably the end of the run if you’ve only just left the planet for the first time

-# At least in the start of the game

[visual marten]

im semi lucky i have the prime vector as a good early game ship

[tight plover]

Ooh! That’s pretty good, then

I personally can’t remember my current save’s earlier ships

I think I probably picked up the ones I got via expeditions at the anomaly though

[visual marten]

Prime vector is just the pc pre order bonus ship so i can claim it whenever

[tight plover]

Ahhhh gotcha.

[visual marten]

As far as actual ships go I think in total i will have 5, 6 when i get a void egg

1 is just the starter ship i keep for sentimental reasons

2 is the atlas annihilator ive shown off

3 is the prime vector

4 and 5 are gonna be the rounded sphere and ufo

the rounded ship i kinda hope to make into a really durable dome for maybe rescue missions

Ufo is probably just gonna be for pure speed

Atlas annihilator ironically is just a well rounded ship

[tight plover]

That’s quite a few ships! I think we can have up to 12 in the current game as well

Though I might be wrong lol

[visual marten]

Honestly ill be content with just the atlas and prime vector lol

Ill likely archive my starter ship

honestly the ufo im planning on is gonna be super tiny, so it likely wont be that hard to build

the hard one for sure is the combat sphere lol

[regal temple]

What do you think of my Mining Drill Rig?

Would anyone be willing to assist me with some know how?

I'm trying to get this to be one piece. Any suggestions

[slender prawn]

is it known how many different pieces there are? curious if i can collect them all in the cache lol

[elder iron]

Theres a few that currently seem to be accessible in creative mode or with free crafting only

[harsh scroll]

which ones?

[elder iron]

Some of the hull link pieces

I forget which because I cant access them outside creative so I barely remember their names

Mostly the ones on the bottom left in the hull link section

[slender prawn]

so much for the deep desire to collect all the things 😄

[elder iron]

Theres also a piece thats sorta the opposite, where it can only be looted but doesnt show up in the build menu

The cargo boxes, iirc

[vast steeple]

From the Breach Exp, I focused on good use of parts to build something cool

[mental oak]

Exodus
My first fighter styled vette build, 3hrs buildtime started from scratch

[south garnet]

is this too close to the second pic?

the second one is a video of some guy making a ship i swear i didnt copy it i just saw how he did the boosters and i love those hydraulic things

i really love this design but i feel bad because they look similar

[fathom mauve]

I don't see what is wrong, if you like something imitate it, if you want. If you want to do something unique that is up to you

[plucky tartan]

To anyone interested this is how you get a scanner room on your Corvette

1. Hover your ship just above the ground if possible, if not then land somewhere flat-ish so you can use the terrain manipulator.

2. Find where you want to build the item and remember where it's located (preferably on the lowest lvl of your ship if possible) then go to the underside and in your desired spot create a small hill clipping through the bottom of your ship but big enough for you to see through the floor of the ship (you'll be using the terrain later). Place a small crate near the are for later.

3. Press start, catalogue and guide, building parts, freighter construction, find what you want to place (I've only tried the scanner room but in theory it should work for all of them) and pin it then leave the menu.

4. Go into your base building menu, press the "edit placed parts" button then press the "toggle edit/build" button and the scanner room mats list should come up.

5. Use the cache glitch (press "toggle wiring" and "toggle edit/build" at the same time) to store the scanner room (if done properly you'll be able to duplicate items).

6. Duplicate the crate you placed earlier and switch to your build camera. Go to the area you want to place said item and switch item placement to your camp instead of the Corvette.

7. Press these 3 buttons almost simultaneously in this order if you're on console: XBOX - start, Y, R2. PSN - start, ∆, R2.
   I'm not sure what these buttons are on PC. If done properly you won't be able to delete the item. If not done properly you'll be able to delete the item in which case you'll need to pick up an item and place it back down and repeat process from step 3.

[grizzled phoenix]

Hey gang is there a way to get the atlas pieces if you haven't done the expedition? I haven't played in ages because my Nintendo switch is broken. I'm building a PC so I should be able to play within a few months but Im just curious if I can build with the atlas pieces then

[glass surge]

You can only get those pieces by doing current Breach redux expedition or trading them with someone.

If on PC you can do the expedition later by using this expedition tool and or just basically save editing your game
https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[acoustic sun]

This looks super similar to a ship I built this week, i like the look of yours a lot!

[south garnet]

but i want to be able to say i made this and not copying it and i am not trying to it just look close

also if i do the new breach expo thingy from the main menu do i get the parts on every save?

is that atlas thing worth it?

[dark juniper]

You get the blueprints on all saves so that you can make more modules endlessly

[south garnet]

is it worth it?

i just need copper or something for chromatic metal

[south garnet]

is it worth doing the mission thing?

[dark juniper]

Expedition 20?

Any expedition is "worth it" imo

[dapper escarp]

W ship

[sly oak]

Are those special parts from the expedition or just new parts that got added then?

Oh nvm I thought I was replying to a post that is now buried

[south garnet]

also grouch? quick question does the buried corvette scrap stuff spawn??

[sly oak]

Well, what I want to ask about corvette building is what do I barter with for new corvette parts? I have my corvette from the first corvette expedition and I want to add ambassador parts to the upper floors and thunderbird to the lower and I am almost done but it didn’t seems like they were accepting my cockpits and other parts I got from the expedition reward.. is it something else that I am supposed to barter? I only have the reward items from the last expedition in my current build which is great but a mishmash of random parts.

Second, is there a way to knock out the automatic walls to make my basement/cargo floor seem more open?

And can last, can I glitchbuild but just to add a way to spawn the bike Exocraft inside part of my ship and launch from it like a missile?

[south garnet]

better stuff more chance but ive gotten engines and stuff from like 10 to 20 percent so it helps to have high percent but you dont need it

try get the lowest then slowly increase value

[south garnet]

i have a question if i complete expedition 20 on a brand new save do i keep anything from my inventory when i go back to my main or is everything just on that save?

[glass surge]

Only phase rewards are unlocked account wide anything else is not transferable if you're not starting the expedition from a main save.

Starting from a main save = you can transfer items,, ships etc back.

Starting from a new save for the expedition = only phase rewards are unlocked for all saves

[balmy cedar]

Howdy folks

[visual marten]

I was unable to do steps 4+ in this guide, the scanner rooms mats list didnt come up
It showed up the base computers list

If i do it aboard the corvette it shows up as nutrition unit.

[south garnet]

god i hate the nautilon engine

[slow quarry]

The fuel being a pita to make?

Or for being bright?

[south garnet]

the fuel being so damn hard to make and it runs out so quickly

with boosting its like couple minutes for me tops

[dapper escarp]

Anyone have any tips for making a mini dreightnought

[tight plover]

Have you got upgrades from the exocraft upgrade merchant on the space station?

It might be a stupid question but if you haven’t that can be seriously helpful, particularly if it’s S class modules

I do wish they add a auto recharger for the nautilon though, that would be really cool

[warm breach]

yes it is lol, had to use some mods to pull it off

[vast steeple]

Like that you have drop down engines - cool ship!

[sharp sparrow]

hod are you doing the sphere in the center?

[plucky tartan]

Nomansapp

[plucky tartan]

If you come across this problem pick an item up and place it back down then try again

It works, I was doing it all night lol

Also it's best to use the terrain manipulator on thin surfaces like base floors. I find it to be easier to clip through than thicker Corvette pieces

The back end of my ship is a series of base floors

Just until I'm done decorating, after that I'll be re-adding the bottom pieces

[visual marten]

I still have yet to unlock the scanner room so i was trying it with the fleet terminal lol

[dapper escarp]

Is this a decent looking mid sized Corvette?

[sharp sparrow]

is it possible to make this style of corvette?

the ball is the front

Trade corvette layout, time to do interior/greeble

[fast cape]

Sick ship dude

Btw you can hit print screen button on top-right side of your keyboard to make a screenshot. To get the picture, just paste it into the chat. That way you can get screenshots, better than Steam's resolution

[shadow wraith]

It looks so scuffed lmao

It's funny how my first thought of seeing the Zeus Mk II was just "This thing looks like an NMS corvette", and it checks out

...Now that I think of it, the Corsair should also be doable

[harsh scroll]

I rearranged their guts and performed cosmetic surgery on their skin

[warm breach]

you should try to make it open interior

[harsh scroll]

Nah, I like small spaces

Actually in RL live in what's called a "tiny house" even

I think I get more creative when I have more restrictions

[sharp sparrow]

can your remove the walls between habs somehow? also whats the difference between a hab and a walkway?

[hoary agate]

Walkway is smaller hab

[warm breach]

you can just not use habs and build around your area, and for #1 @hoary agate is right

with mods/glitches you can also make something like this

[sharp sparrow]

oh right just leave an empty space in the middle and attach decorations?

[warm breach]

yes

[sharp sparrow]

how are you doing the floor?

[warm breach]

i used these parts

[sharp sparrow]

nice ... thanks

[harsh scroll]

I don't glitch build, too complicated for me

Hopefully they improve corvette building so you can have open rooms

[abstract crow]

You already can do open rooms without glitches or mods. Though they're more like empty spaces than actual rooms.

[oblique crest]

hey guys new here, 4 days palying how about my Corvette ?

[magic orchid]

The Tradewinds is now ready to serve your needs. With survival resources and components, multitool selection and purchasing, shell modification for those of you robo-travellers. It also offers limited inn capacity, food provisioning, refinery services, and medical access.

[harsh scroll]

Oh?

[abstract crow]

Yeah. Just build around an empty section. Like a shell.

[warm swift]

anyone knows how to delete corvette?

[harsh scroll]

Trade it to an npc

[floral tinsel]

My friend gave me a basic few corvette parts it's not bad

[warm swift]

oh yeah XD i will try thanks

[plucky tartan]

Building an open hab on top of actual habs is a waste of parts

Just use the cycle glitch and create a space

It's much better

[crystal harness]

try salvage analyysis at the starship terminal at the back of the space station promenade?

[plucky tartan]

Unfortunately that doesn't work

You can only delete it by trading it to an NPC for their ship or building a Corvette and saving over it

[crystal harness]

how about editing it down to absolutely necessary parts and selling/storing the remainder?

[plucky tartan]

Here is your answer

[crystal harness]

yeah maybe they should just edit the corvette and make it one they want

[warm swift]

tried it, options are not highlighted

[crystal harness]

bummer

[warm swift]

trading works thanks

[glass surge]

<@&590975379678953522>

[magic orchid]

wtf

[warm breach]

whatd they say?

[glass surge]

nothing you'll ever need to know from a scammer; Big discord sadly get hammered with those from time to time

[magic orchid]

They just posted pictures about Elon Musk and winning money for some reason 😂

[warm breach]

it feels like a thanos snap seeing all my friends fade away from those scams

[magic orchid]

I was gonna comment something about how I don't know how people fall for them, but scammers keep doing it so they must

[warm breach]

well atleast i know which of my friends arent that smart

[vale blaze]

hey guys can someone help me, i have no idea how to put the thing in my corvette where the hydrolic arms are working on the suit ivbe seen it cant find it for the life of me

[glass surge]

If you mean the material refiner you need to be in your corvette and not the corvette editor, enter base building mode (if on PC hit Z) , in the first category denoted with a chair symbol you look at the first row and you should see the refiner there and can place it with one hydraulic wiring and 20 platinum

[stone shadow]

How people make these corvettes in Blender? Is it some kind of mod that let you import corvette build or something?

[acoustic roost]

Is there interior parts that i need to research or all is alr unlocked

?

[glass surge]

Blender is a separate 3d rendering program and you'd probably have to get a plugin for NMS ships etc and also probably have to mod your game. You can also try asking in #nms-modding.

[stone shadow]

Ik what Blender is, I just wanted to know how people make these

[hardy oracle]

There are a lot of interior parts that require researching before you can use them

[acoustic roost]

And thats done on anomaly?

[glass surge]

then i'd ask in the mod channel as well seeing if someone replies to you in here; i just use the in built editor in NMS

[south garnet]

YES YES YES

[autumn obsidian]

Stll don't get why there are grayed out parts in the corvette build menu. Are they old ones from an expedtion?

like the plasma...reactor

[tight plover]

I believe it means you don’t have them

[autumn obsidian]

ummm yes

are they from an expedition?

[dark juniper]

They have been unobtainable since Voyagers released

[autumn obsidian]

is that a patch or an expedition?

[dark juniper]

The only way to get them/build with them is by having Difficulty > Crafting = Free

[dark juniper]

Voyagers is the update that introduced Corvettes

[autumn obsidian]

so they introduced corvetttes but removed parts at release?

makes no sense

[autumn obsidian]

i will tryit, thanks

are there any consequences for changing that setting

[dark juniper]

Only if you were on survival difficulty, which would disqualify you from earning the achievement "Take a Deep Breath" (it would warn you about this)

[open palm]

I miss my ship from Starfield. I dont know why that ship builder seemed so much easier for me to build something cool with. Not knowing how to (or really wanting to have to) glitch build here seems really limiting.

Ive tried and failed like 4 or 5 times just to remake something like this without glitch building

[hardy oracle]

That's a very fixable problem though, just place a trim piece on the side of a hab and then mnove the hab. Congratulations, glitch building unlocked.

[stone shadow]

Half placing (at least that's what I call placing parts between grid) is not that big glitch, there are harder ones

[hardy oracle]

It's the only one you need to build something like what they wanted though

[open palm]

I just want to fly around in bulbasaur with a shoulder cannon lol

[stone shadow]

Ye, it unlocks a ton of building possibilities

[open palm]

I just wish I didnt have to. Like watching build videos is annoying AF. "Build this scaffolding to place this part here, delete all of this, place this here, move it, rotate, now delete everything you put there. Now put 5 of these stacked up, place the part here, now delete these tree, move it a little, delete that piece. Like why cant we just have more snap points 🥴

[stone shadow]

You have normal snap points and "advanced" ones

[hardy oracle]

It really isn't that complicated. You're overthinking it. All you need is to place a trim or a rockhopper propeller on a hab and move the hab. That's it. There are weirder tricks out there but they really aren't what you need to do what you wanted.

[open palm]

Ill keep trying I guess. 300 hours on this recent play, I have done pretty much everything (4 S settlements, S tier sentinel ship, S tier autophage staff, S tier freighter with 20ish living frigates) each expedition redux that made me make a corvette made me want to try again, but each time I just make a pile of dookie and give up lol. I know its operator error, Im just saying the ship builder could be a little more user friendly

[eternal pumice]

They should ale the grid a lot smaller amd smaller parts so. We can get smoother more intricate stuff without needing to glitch

[harsh scroll]

I can't connect things to both sides of a exit right?

So like having the thunderbird drop down exit in the middle of a ship?

[eternal pumice]

Womp womp,fi d a work around

[harsh scroll]

I was asking

No need to be a jerk

[eternal pumice]

The builder is really testy so you have to find ways to get around its. Rules

[harsh scroll]

I was simply asking if it was possible

Maybe try building somthing and then deleting it and replacing it with an exit

[harsh scroll]

I'm not at my PC to test it

[hardy oracle]

Sure, just place it. That's how it is meant to be used.

[harsh scroll]

Oh nice, thank you

I wasn't sure if it followed different placement rules. Thanks

[hardy oracle]

It works just like any other hab or walkway piece, it just happens to also have a lift

[harsh scroll]

That's great

I thought it looked out of place at the back/front

[fathom mauve]

Oh I thought you had a little mushroom fella as a personal chef

[glacial willow]

Guys, question. How ppl are gettin all the cool stuff to make corvs look so awesome? I feel like mines are poo compared to what i see here

[glacial willow]

You wanna tell me this is all made inside a corvette?

[magic orchid]

It is indeed

[glacial willow]

Im truly amazed

[magic orchid]

Honestly, mine isn't all that complex. I've seen some really nice interiors

[hardy marlin]

I'm looking at putting together a Corvette reminiscent of the Porsche in Intergalactic; however lack the knowledge on how I'd go about this ingame. Any Ideas? Image for reference

[harsh scroll]

Oooh

She looks like she brings death

[harsh scroll]

That's the idea lol

but he saw I wanted to eat mushrooms

[fathom mauve]

But you'd never eat such a fun guy

[harsh scroll]

I trust the fun guy

[dreamy stratus]

why dont windows connect on corvettes?

also why is there no building cam

[tropic bloom]

I CAN ROTATE THE AERON BLADES? I DIDNT KNOW I COULD DO THAT. Im an idiot.

[dense breach]

Question - how do you move the entire ship forward in the editor?

I accidentally made mine too far back

[dapper escarp]

I just wish they could go at a 45° angle

[dark juniper]

By manually moving everything, or using the base building app on PC but that requires doing a small amount of math and precision

[dreamy ivy]

X-Imperius Class Destroyer (capitol freighter sized)
Xzseron Fleet Command Station

[plucky tartan]

That's fire

[long pawn]

Wouldn't that be awesome if we could?

[glacial willow]

My god... Teach me! 😍

[pearl ginkgo]

Does anyone here know how to offset a part 1 half to the left/right

[halcyon sky]

Someone should make a 1:1 scale Death Star

I think it would be the size of a medium-sized planet

[pearl ginkgo]

Would probably lag the game a lot though

[halcyon sky]

true

[glacial willow]

I dont think it would fit inside a station to begin with

[halcyon sky]

I mean, it's the size of a planet so

[south garnet]

did i over do the red parts?

[pearl ginkgo]

Na I like what u did with them

[south garnet]

ty should i swap the blades for arcadia blade tho?

it connects a bit better and makes the sides stick out more

[pearl ginkgo]

Up to you

I don't really remember the difference off the top of my head tho

[south garnet]

there

[pearl ginkgo]

Maybe if you painted the Arcadia blade grey and dark grey I think it is

But then again your ship not mine

[south garnet]

here

sorry i cant make choices

[pearl ginkgo]

It's okay I used to be like that so I understand

[south garnet]

thank you

[pearl ginkgo]

I feel like you should do the original

[pearl ginkgo]

Np

[south garnet]

yeah

Mk1

Mk2

[pearl ginkgo]

Love it

[south garnet]

i got rid of the aeron blades and put on arcadia because the aeron was too heavy looking for me

[pearl ginkgo]

Unfortunately I don't have the aeron blades but I wish I did

[pearl ginkgo]

Understand

[south garnet]

awh

i feel like in some builds there are over used for my likes tho like when every layer the sides are just aeron blades

[pearl ginkgo]

Yeah

[south garnet]

wait i made it dark grey and dark cyan and it looks awesome

[pearl ginkgo]

Do you know if the rerun of expedition 20 is still ongoing

[glass surge]

it's going on until January 13th, so 6 days left

[pearl ginkgo]

Sweet I get back home tmmr so I still have some time

Thx for that

[pearl ginkgo]

Show!?!?

[south garnet]

one sec

[south garnet]

yep just did it

[pearl ginkgo]

K

[pearl ginkgo]

Take ur time

[south garnet]

slight cyan tint

[pearl ginkgo]

Nice

What class hab's did you use

[south garnet]

ambassador

i like the other ones just the duck tape and stuff on the inside

[pearl ginkgo]

Same

Will it let you place paneled windows on the side of the hab directly before the cockpit

I feel like that would be cool but I've been having a problem where it makes the side of the hab it's on back to its original color

[south garnet]

i will and theres way to fix it

you can just paint them in the editor?

[pearl ginkgo]

I'm not sure if I tried that but I think it didn't work for me

But I'll check tomorrow when I get home

[south garnet]

if i use seamless it does this

panelled works fine its just because thats a walkway not a hab

[pearl ginkgo]

Where it sticks out the side a bit?

[pearl ginkgo]

Ohh

[south garnet]

is this what you ment?

if you are breaking asteroid i recommend the phase beam it looks sick and also 1 taps them

[dapper escarp]

Is that a triangle window?

Do my eyes deceive me

[south garnet]

yes?

[dapper escarp]

How did you obtain such a mystery

[south garnet]

panelled window?????

its just a normal item

YOU CAN GROW NIPNIP ON CORVETTES?

[pearl ginkgo]

Yeah

I was shocked when I found it out too

[dapper escarp]

Wow,

Time to make a drug dealer Corvette

[pearl ginkgo]

That's what I thought too

[dapper escarp]

I Lowkey have an entire middle floor to my Corvette that has nothing on it, so that works

[pearl ginkgo]

I have a community (ofc it's not posted in communities yet bc i don't have familiar yet) but one of the provinces in the clan is just a bunch of nip nip plantations

[dapper escarp]

Any more details?

[dense breach]

Do you build your ship towards the front end of the editor? I did mine towards the back by accident, and flying in third person has my thrusters clog up half the screen

[pearl ginkgo]

I usually start in the middle for small/ medium ships and in the front for large ships

[dapper escarp]

What's the community about besides nip nip

[pearl ginkgo]

Mainly just exploring and money

We have jobs, a political system, but we are fairly new so not that much

If you want me to dm u an invite I can

Omg im so tired wth was that

[dapper escarp]

It sounds interesting, so maybe

But Im not the best at the game, so don't got that much to offer

[pearl ginkgo]

Nah man it's free

[carmine mural]

This channel is for corvettes, that's one, the other thing is that we don't allow for recruitment

can i join but not like play with the group?
