[south garnet]

can someone tell me how the hell i parked my corvette here

[raven rover]

Everytime you swap ships when you have more than 1 corvette afaik

[raven rover]

😭

parking lot hogger ahh

[south garnet]

idk how the hell this happened i just parked to get deco and its here now

[harsh scroll]

ew

[raven rover]

ew indeed

[harsh scroll]

Seems they didn't plan for player to have more than 1 corvette?

[raven rover]

nop

its just

That particular system

Thats borked

ive come to accept it

[harsh scroll]

😵‍💫

[heavy jacinth]

I have an ask for all the seriously dedicated, micro-detail loving corvette builders here: Do you think that it's possible to build a highly accurate and detailed replica of the Ranger from Interstellar with in-game tools and glitches only? No external application, I'm on console.

[raven rover]

i do think that its def possible

https://youtu.be/6qQG3zLAgXc?si=ZDbNY4rFuogIAtet

i mean this dude made a star destroyer completely ingame

You could use some of the techniques there

Since ur ship is highly angular too

Curved builds would be much much harder

[heavy jacinth]

In best case scenario, I would want it to be to-scale. Does NMS have size adjustments for corvette parts or decos?

[raven rover]

decos yes

Parts no

[heavy jacinth]

Hmmm ok ty

[raven rover]

Modules i mean

vanilla way at least

BUT

micro detailing is so janky

And you have no mirror

Or snapping most of the time

[heavy jacinth]

Yeahhh

[raven rover]

headache inducing

rage inducing

[dapper escarp]

Should I make a new Corvette (smaller one) so I can try interior design on it, or try to design the interior of my bigish Corvette

[hardy oracle]

That sounds more like a personal preference question, but I am of the opinion that the best corvettes are those with just barely enough size to fit in all that you want in your home among the stars.

[tawdry field]

I was gonna try this too but it looks very difficult

especially because of the cockpit

[long pawn]

Hi! I just hopped back on and saw your question. The answer depends on build order. As you look at each engine you'll see its stats. These stats change as you put on engines (up to three.) If I recall correctly, adding a Thunderbird as your 3rd engine gives the single highest upgrade in maneuverability.

[tawdry field]

I like kineostream

[hardy oracle]

The thrusters that are described as "powerful" have marginally better stats, but even then they are best used in corners as adjacency boosters for your best stat boosters, the S/X-class modules.

[unborn narwhal]

definietly

you just need like a bunch of freeplaced windows at diffrent angles and heights

[hardy oracle]

Perhaps this helps? An example of a fairly small interior.

[dapper escarp]

Yeah it helps, but means I need alot more quick silver. As I need stuff to put near the door ways and in the corners.

[hardy oracle]

Most decor is unlocked at the back of the anomaly, not at the quicksilver vendor

[dapper escarp]

The salvaged data place?

[hardy oracle]

Yep!

[dapper escarp]

What type of stuff do people usually get from that. Near door wise. Any suggestions?

[hardy oracle]

Not sure I understand the question. But quicksilver buys you things like statues, decals, trophies and some of the posters. Salvage data unlocks everything else. Almost all the proper furniture and clutter comes from there. There's a little bit of furniture to be had from exploring derelict freighters, but that's a rather specific style that doesn't really fit well into any of the corvette interiors.

[dapper escarp]

Sorry, yeah I phrased it wrong at the beginning. Should have just asked if you had any suggestions

[hardy oracle]

I like putting clutter that relates to exploring and looting near the entrence, I feel it makes the most sense. Maybe a shovel, perhaps some boxes and barrels. A weapon rack. That sort of thing.

[fresh herald]

I ended up selling my big project to an npc😭

[dapper escarp]

Thank you, that is exactly what I should do with my first floor

[arctic jetty]

I thought my corvette interior was big, this makes it look tiny

[dapper escarp]

Ur joking correct?

[eager sky]

IB4 they have a single walkway

[raven rover]

damn you guys have interiors?

[heavy jacinth]

That's when you instantly reload from restore point

before you make a new one by accident

I've saved myself from misclicks many times with the restore point

[kind bane]

Yes

[wet dagger]

My little bean pod

[dry summit]

Hey I’m pretty new to nms, got back into it and been grinding. I’m at 80 ish hrs now. I just got myself a s class dreadnought but I don’t really understand the stats thing for frigates to know what’s good, if anyone can help me understand in a simple way and even dm me a “best fleet setup/stats” I don’t care how hard it is to get specific frigates I’ll work towards them over time. Thanks 😊

[wet dagger]

First of all these stat differences are negligible but if you want the most optimal outcome purchase frigates (not including Living Frigates) at C class with 0-3 expeditions You’ll end up having a S class with superior stats.

[dry summit]

Ok thank you

[wet dagger]

All good, to save time typing it out I’ve run a faq command here for you. #nms-commands message

will help in detail specific stat related bonus and how they are attained and assigned.

[raven rover]

ooh i like the screens on the cockpit

Looks really good

[plucky tartan]

I did this to the inside of my ship since the cockpit is a sentinel eye

[vast reef]

I’m trying wrap my head around the right steps to take in building my first corvette. I am reading that the phase beam is most powerful since I can use 6 of them, but isn’t that unnecessary since most everything will die with much less power? I also read something about farming parts (corvette parts? Salvaged parts on ground?) with infra-knife is better since phase beam can’t do that? Not sure exactly what that means. I just like the brrrrr of the IK better and feel like I would be fine with that instead of an OP set of 6 phase beams. Can someone shed some light on this?

[hardy oracle]

All weapons are more than powerful enough for any stage of the game as long as you put some upgrades on them. It is however true that phase beam and rockets are terrible for salvage. All other weapons work reasonably well though. But there's nothing really stopping you from putting on a different weapon when salvaging, so I wouldn't let that brief stage of the game keep you from making the spaceship of your dreams

It doesn't really matter whether it takes 1 or 3 seconds to kill a pirate. Sure, the slowest weapons might be three times as slow but it's really not slow.

[vast reef]

When you say there’s nothing from stopping me from changing weapons… I also read (but didn’t understand) that if I put on one weapon, the corvette maybe keeps that type of weapon even if I change it to a new weapon later? Meaning, I’d better make my first decision on weapons the correct one because I can’t change it? I don’t understand.

[hardy oracle]

Nope, however it is currently impossible to remove the core photon cannon. But it shows up regardless of whether you ever put a photon cannon turret on or not. IT's just always there no matter what

[vast reef]

Ohhh. Yes maybe it was about the photon cannon. Ok. Thanks.

[hardy oracle]

You can change your mind at any point, but the photon cannon will always be there regardless of your choices. Even if you never used it.

[vast reef]

Oh. I was also concerned about getting stuck with current SC slots during my first build. I’ve read I can somehow reload to get better SC layouts? Do I need to get that done BEFORE I finalize my corvette build?

[hardy oracle]

To my knowledge, the only way to get a new configuration is save editing or creating a new corvette. They are determined the moment you create the ship.

[velvet moat]

Sorry guys

[fresh herald]

To late lol

I didn't realize until i tried summoning it

[vital nest]

is there a way to farm titan habit modules or buy them?

[fast cape]

@odd pecan sorry the picture so dark, my photomode just kills all the light sources

I nailed it pretty bad

[odd pecan]

Nah I see the vision

[fast cape]

Just so you know, that is my first try building a proper corvette

[odd pecan]

Pretty good for it to be the first

My last first try at a ship ended in a dozen redesign

But I got my star wars ship

[fast cape]

Can I see?

[odd pecan]

Fondor haulcraft

[fast cape]

Ah, the ship from Andor show

Nice

:D

[odd pecan]

Yep

[odd pecan]

Tyyy

Tomorrow I'll send the pic of a original ship I made

[fast cape]

Oki

I'll be waiting:D

[odd pecan]

Yeah I made it compact because I imagined it as something built for speed

[south garnet]

is it possible to make the wings of aeron look like this all the time by like painting or sm

[fleet temple]

Hello. I need
Speedbird Nacelle x4
Speedbird Fairing x4
Speedbird Dome Section x2
Anyone wanna trade? I can give 100m

Even 200

[hardy oracle]

Try #nms-lfg-or-trades

[fleet temple]

Thanks

[plucky tartan]

🙌🙌🙌

Decorations for the scanner are subject to change

This just looks better than a crooked box

[fast cape]

What's a planetary probe?

[plucky tartan]

Scanner room for the freighter

[fast cape]

Oh

[plucky tartan]

I put it on my Corvette

[slender prawn]

yall think they will give us a trade terminal in our corvettes?

[dapper escarp]

How?

[plucky tartan]

Already exists bud

[plucky tartan]

A long and tedious process

If you're interested I will tell you

[slender prawn]

where

[plucky tartan]

Gotta use glitch building

[slender prawn]

😐

[dapper escarp]

Is it the same process as putting stuff like base consoles and the trade terminal in ur Corvette ?

[plucky tartan]

???

You have to use the terrain manipulator

To get the scanner room on the Corvette

[dark juniper]

Debating switching back to my big "Thunder Thighs" ship even though it's absolutely ridiculous

The inside of it feels more like a freighter base, but with just the right amount of stuff

My main one is kinda way cooler though even though idk how to decorate the interior well without using almost any windows

[dapper escarp]

I'm working on my interior aswell, but really cool ships

[dark juniper]

I still love the titan cockpit interior so much more than the thunderbird one, but the thunderbird one is still the only sleek one

[plucky tartan]

Interior decorating is not my forte ngl

But I can build like a mf

[dapper escarp]

I agree, I just kinda find that little spiky bit on top annoying for some ships

[dark juniper]

Yeah, hopefully one day we can look down it's sights outside of photo mode at least

[dapper escarp]

I just hope they give us a sleek cockpit with an actual window and some room aesthetics soon

[plucky tartan]

They are sideways when I'm flying but when I'm on the ground they are straight up

[dapper escarp]

Poor robots

[plucky tartan]

Might just use these as decorative pieces instead of having the NPCs stand at them

[dapper escarp]

Expirencing the g's

[plucky tartan]

That was my attempt at giving my ship more life

[dapper escarp]

It almost works

[plucky tartan]

Yeah, imma go to holograms

[tawdry field]

how did you do this bro

[tawdry field]

they need to give us cockpits that arent just a 1x1

[tawdry field]

ones that are like 2 floors could be cool

like the Bowie from gotg3

[dark juniper]

Photo Mode

[tawdry field]

wdym

[tawdry field]

I mean the cockpit

[dark juniper]

Move photo mode camera inside of the ball gunner seat in the titan-class cockpit

[tawdry field]

ohh

I thought it was a custom cockpit or smth

they should also give us cockpits that go ontop of habs

like fighter jet cockpits

and more moving thrusters/wings would be cool

[dark juniper]

Sometimes I think of cutting off the "legs" so that it's less absolutely insanely large

but then that'd just be a ball

[slender finch]

what do we think 😭

[plucky tartan]

My planetary scanner!

[olive sierra]

Crazorest?

[brisk sentinel]

:D

this is a poor image

let me get a better one

[olive sierra]

Give it some money.

[brisk sentinel]

true

here is my corvette so far :)

[olive sierra]

🤘

[brisk sentinel]

unfortunately for whatever reason, i wasn't able to put a walkway in the area under the cockpit for more room in the lower floor

[warm swift]

compact and sleek

[brisk sentinel]

i wasn't able to figure out how to add more hab space suitably, any ideas?

[raven rover]

just make your ship longer

[glass surge]

or remove the side pieces behind the cockpit and go wide

[harsh scroll]

😱

I immediately turned off multiplayer

[plucky thunder]

[autumn obsidian]

well, i need help. I'm stuck inside my glitched corvette cockpit

[dapper escarp]

Reload from a save file

Or hope u clip out

[harsh scroll]

WTF happened to my corvette?

I should have known something was off when I could only get to the cockpit

and this is why I keep backups of my stuff

[hardy oracle]

Build a chair, try to sit in it and hope standing up will put you somewhere better

[harsh scroll]

What am I supposed to do? My backup isn't working

strip it down and reinstall EVERYTHING?

even the photon cannon is gone

[dark juniper]

Just save and reload

[harsh scroll]

I can't

the autosave kicked in

[dark juniper]

then reload that

[harsh scroll]

I can't

[dark juniper]

save and reload

[harsh scroll]

it SAVED that too

[dark juniper]

Yeah, then reload that save to make all the corvette tech reappear

I know what I'm telling you to do

[harsh scroll]

I did

[dark juniper]

it should make it all reappear

[harsh scroll]

It didn't

[dark juniper]

jumbled up

huh? then try switching to a different corvette or smth, it's gotta realize the stuff's gone eventually

[harsh scroll]

I tried that too

[dark juniper]

possibly modify the corvette and add some tech stuff, then finalize

[raven rover]

that happened to me too before

Reloading did not work

I just went and re placed everything

[dark juniper]

that is strange, I remember it happening to me and I just let it stay like that and they all eventually came back somehow, or I switched to my other ship temporarily

there's gotta be some way to make it update what it registers in the tech inventory

[raven rover]

Yeahh i thought if i reloaded or swapped it would reappear

Did not reappear at all even after an patch

So yeah i just took out the old stuff and re placed it again

[harsh scroll]

Didn't work

[dark juniper]

that is mysterious

[harsh scroll]

I was in multiplayer, left multiplayer and quit the game

[dark juniper]

welp, time to grab the tech layout of the backup and paste it into the current save or something instead of waiting to fix itself

[harsh scroll]

when i started upi couldn't walk through my ship

but it had already saved and autosaved

[raven rover]

now i just kept json backups of my ships

Incase smth stupid like that happens again

[harsh scroll]

yeah I tried loading my backup, It loaded a previous version of the ship but still missing the core stuff

[raven rover]

Oof

Mustve disappeared for a while then

[harsh scroll]

thankfully it's not a massive ship

so while I'm at this, which landing gear had the giant flames underneath?

the mag landign gear has small flames

[dark juniper]

None of them passively have large flames beneath them. Most of them have a takeoff animation that involves large flames coming out of them to propell the ship off of the ground

[harsh scroll]

ah

[harsh scroll]

that didn't make the stuff appear...

editing and putting them back I mean

I even reloaded a backup save from hours ago, still destroyed

[velvet vault]

Rate my ship 😅

[harsh scroll]

I "fixed" it. Had to revert a backup of the ship AND save from yesterday though

[harsh scroll]

WTF it broke again'

[warm swift]

choo choo of death

[stuck bridge]

The pain train

Here is my chunky boi

[warm swift]

yeah The Pain Train loved the name i will rename it that

[stuck bridge]

Mine is named Rusty

That's how he started

And this is Ishimura

[warm swift]

The Pain Train 😆

[velvet vault]

Exotic tier ship design lmao

[warm swift]

am not very good of naming things 😆

[tulip swallow]

the limbus

[stuck bridge]

Well I can help with that if u want

[warm swift]

death carriage

they are all named with death am really not good at naming things lol

[stuck bridge]

What's...the idea behind it

its like a horse pulling a carriage 😆

[stuck bridge]

Hm okay lemme think

The iron chariot

[warm swift]

your good at this love the name iron chariot

[acoustic sun]

I think I struck gold with this design, tried to go for a speedboat type look. Any tips or a good name for her?

[stuck bridge]

The Hasta

It is spear in ancient roman

Guys i have a very important question

Its it possible to build the milano

[stuck bridge]

The what?

[fresh herald]

Hold on ill get a picture

[stuck bridge]

Millenium falkon?

[acoustic sun]

Uh it would be super hard but I’m sure you could pull it off

[fresh herald]

Sweet ty

[stuck bridge]

There are mods that remove some limits for the corvette creator

[fresh herald]

Im on ps4

[stuck bridge]

Ah

[fresh herald]

But i can glitch build

Ive seen some build the milano

Def possible

you could probably get much better results with a bunch of glitchbuilding

[stuck bridge]

Oh this ship

[raven rover]

i myself tried building the bowie 😂

[arctic jetty]

My buddy actually has a Milano! He got it off servicebot, I've seen quite a few nice ones on there

[stuck bridge]

It's from those, guardians of galaxy or whatever

[raven rover]

Yes

yeah the nomansapp has a bunch of milanos

[stuck bridge]

You gotta have a music box there fr fr

[fast cape]

Tough tech

[raven rover]

my rendition of the bowie

[stuck bridge]

Oh my God this thing is massive

[raven rover]

it is yeah

[arctic jetty]

Whaaaaat, that's amazing

[raven rover]

next to some other ships at a meetup

[stuck bridge]

Even my curent corvette looks pitiful compared to this

[arctic jetty]

I actually like small corvettes

[stuck bridge]

YOU MAKE MEETUPS?!

[fast cape]

Ah yes, the bloc

[raven rover]

some youtuber did a meetup

i just joined in

[arctic jetty]

I do love the cube

[raven rover]

we do have some meetups tho in this server

[stuck bridge]

My corvette is anything but small

[raven rover]

its actually a snail LMAO

[arctic jetty]

It still looks amazing

[arctic jetty]

XDDDDD

[raven rover]

yeah small corvettes are pretty neat

[arctic jetty]

Gaijin will never not haunt me

[stuck bridge]

You think so?

[raven rover]

i just like mine massive for some reason

[fast cape]

Why so beeg

[arctic jetty]

This is an outdated picture of my current project, got the base design from servicebot, already changed thr color, but this isn't recent enough to show the edits made to the outside

[raven rover]

compensating for something

[raven rover]

That looks really good

this is my current one rn

le chonker

and a cute lil window for first person

😂

[arctic jetty]

I love the window XDDD

[raven rover]

still an abysmal view tho

mainly just for vibes

[stuck bridge]

Lol

[arctic jetty]

Not too bad tbh

I wish I had a pic of the view from the bridge of my 40k ship, too many antennas in the way

[raven rover]

yeah i tried to make it at least usable

this was the old version

im thinking of using the weird alien cockpit

Might be better

[raven rover]

😭

[stuck bridge]

The ambassador one?

[raven rover]

Yeah

[unborn narwhal]

i think i saw one of these meetups in a yt short and i was wondering, where do they happen? i wanted to show off in the future like any artist thats proud of their work

[raven rover]

Since it drops down a bit

[stuck bridge]

Which one? A thunderhawk

[arctic jetty]

All of these stupid 📡 get in the way

Thank you phone for supplanting my words with emojis...

[arctic jetty]

Corvettes and coffee is the name, great place imho

[stuck bridge]

Vanilla?!

[arctic jetty]

Mhm

[stuck bridge]

That here is a brilliant designer

[arctic jetty]

I will never build something that size again without cheating extensively

[raven rover]

In a way

[arctic jetty]

It took 3 hours

[raven rover]

Vanilla building is harder than with mods

I have much respect for vanilla builders

[arctic jetty]

Minus the extra hour or two of ragequitting rwhen glitchbuilding was not being nice

[raven rover]

I myself cant build without a fuckton of glitches

[unborn narwhal]

arent glitches vanilla tho

[arctic jetty]

Agreed

[raven rover]

In a way its vanilla

Some glitches can be done with mods tho

Rotating windows on all axis

Is not possible without mods

[arctic jetty]

I consider vanilla personally anything you can do without external interference with your game

[unborn narwhal]

ah i only use the vanilla glitches then

[raven rover]

Vertical is possible vanilla tho

I used to do vanilla glitches only

But when i discovered them modded glitches

Mmm

[arctic jetty]

But I'm tired and I must take my leave, it was lovely talking to all of you, please stay safe and have a amazing night!

[unborn narwhal]

same t u

devouring thus

getting bored of old corvettes

[unborn narwhal]

also its middle of the day for me lmao

timezones b cray-z

[stuck bridge]

Bored hm, my loyalty to my junk is too much for me to get bored

[halcyon sky]

Someone should make a Death Star corvette (1:1 scale as well)

[stuck bridge]

Est?

[raven rover]

I love all of my corvettes

But i just want to create more

good thing we have 12 slots

[halcyon sky]

and many save files

[stuck bridge]

True

[raven rover]

i keep some of my ships in JSON file format too

So i can just recover em

If i run out of space

[unborn narwhal]

poland, idk

[stuck bridge]

Ye It's EST

[raven rover]

damn your flag is the reverse of mine

[stuck bridge]

Same thing over here it's like 12 40

Hey that actually looks nice

Impractical, but nice

[scarlet tulip]

Any suggestions for making this less brick-shaped? It's especially bad from underneath. Yes there are a lot of habs, I'll have to figure out how to furnish them later. I copied its previous version into the expedition and then dismantled it at the end and sent all the parts back, which let me double its size.

[fresh herald]

I started building it! Im gonna be following some random tutorials to help

[raven rover]

Good luck bro!

[raven rover]

Add some blocks to the side

And triangular pieces

To make "wings"

you could just start by adding blocks to make the "skeleton" and then just add stuff on top of it

I found it easier to make a ship from the top down view first

So i can get the shape

after you get the top view right, move to the side profile

[sick kayak]

Ambassador cockpits are so difficult to build with 😭

Annoying because they're my favourite lol

[fast cape]

Ambassador is for sleek, Titan is for hi-tech, and the Thunderbird is for crude tech

[raven rover]

Isnt titan n thunderbird swapped?

Titans interior is the one with cables

[fast cape]

Maybe?

I don't know

:p

[hardy oracle]

I would describe thunderbird as star wars smuggler. Very millenium falcon

[high steeple]

No thunderbird is definitely smuggler.

It looks like the inside of a belter ship.

Something cobbled together.

I named the first one I built "Rust Bucket".

Definitely aids in that feeling of being a space junker making their come up in the galaxy.

And that your ship is made of salvage.

[hardy oracle]

Though i am not sure i would call titan as high tech. To me it is more minimalist industrial

[high steeple]

It's also very star warsy

The panels are the same ones used on the death star.

With the grate walls and white background lighting

Although I now see they are horizontal and not vertical

Inspiration is still there though

[plucky tartan]

Does anyone know how to place hab beds and nourishment station without the hab?

[high steeple]

What do y'all use your corvettes for?

I'm realizing the way I play the game rn, the Corvette is my least flown ship.

[raven rover]

aura farming tbh

[high steeple]

Fair.

Mine kinda just looks cool too and that's it

[raven rover]

😂

[raven rover]

Yeah same

Most of mine are C class

its just for vibes and aura

[high steeple]

The upgrades are so expensive...

[raven rover]

But fr

Id like to use mine more

But im at a point where i have everything

So

Atp the game has just become a ship builder simulator for me

might try to make a new save tho

A corvette only run

might be fun

[high steeple]

True

I originally built the Corvette to be my home and vessel before I had all the luxuries

Then I found out I was rich and could just buy whatever I wanted

[raven rover]

Yeahh thats my problem too

a new save would solve that but idk if i can commit

[high steeple]

I don't wanna do the game all over again 😭

[raven rover]

No normal starships, no base, no freighter

True nomad lifestyle

[raven rover]

Ikr bro 😭

[high steeple]

I mean now that I think about it

I don't think there's any disadvantage to having a Corvette over base or freighter

I mean a base is definitely better but

[raven rover]

yep

I have 1k hrs and all of my bases are just purely decorative

The 1 thing that i might miss is the freighter probe room

[high steeple]

Real

Omg I don't have to touch down on every hellhole I find

[raven rover]

thats the only disadvantage that i can think of

[raven rover]

So real

[high steeple]

Tbh NMS kinda has the Minecraft problem

Where it's a survival game but you can kinda survive with almost nothing

I mean some planets you definitely need a shelter

[raven rover]

Yeah

[high steeple]

But on the planets you'd actually build bases on you don't

[raven rover]

Wait uh

[high steeple]

So, my bases are still just a bunch of random shit plopped about and a portal.

[raven rover]

The exocraft summon station

If i placed that on my corvette

[high steeple]

That too

[raven rover]

With a mod ofc

[high steeple]

I don't think- oh

[raven rover]

Would that serve as a "placed" down station?

[high steeple]

I have no idea.

[raven rover]

So i can just summon it via the exosuit button?

Seems fun

Scared of bricking my save tho

LMAO

[raven rover]

Sameeeee

[frigid depot]

Test it on a dummy save

[raven rover]

yeah ill try that

Or backup my save

[high steeple]

I guess one thing that could fix this is exposure to the elements weathers down your stuff so you're forced to be elaborate with your designs instead of leaving shit wherever you want.

[raven rover]

thatd be hella annoying tho

I see the vision but

[high steeple]

I mean yeah that's why games don't implement stuff like that.

[raven rover]

Yeah

[high steeple]

Better to just make it the players choice then remove the choice.

But it would definitely stop lazy building.

id just rather not build at all LMAO

I hate building in every survival game except minecraft

[high steeple]

I'm sure NMS has a very nice building system.

[raven rover]

They do

[high steeple]

I just... Never had a reason to explore it cause

[raven rover]

I dabbled in it

[high steeple]

Woooo corvette

[raven rover]

Just to make a dock for my corvette

[high steeple]

Spaceshiiiip

[raven rover]

LMAO

[high steeple]

I honestly wonder what the game would have looked like if this was a launch feature

[raven rover]

i really do think that i need to make a new save to reinvigorate

[high steeple]

Could buildable freighters have replaced bases?

[raven rover]

Cuz rn all i do is build and never use em

And theyre highly unpractical

For normal use

[high steeple]

Yeah it's like I would build a base but like... What would I even put in it?

I don't even have decorations

Plus I already have a settlement. A Corvette and a freighter.

[raven rover]

one could say

A farm

But if you alr have a fkton of money

[high steeple]

Maybe like it could take the resident system a step further and you could hire people to work out of your bases.

Yeah whoever gifted me this billion units low-key ruined my playthrough before it started but...

It is what it is.

[high steeple]

Maybe these bases could become settlements if they're productive enough?

I feel like that might be better than just adopting random settlements.

[raven rover]

I just delete every gifted monetary item

[high steeple]

Not to mention it really puts the ball in the players court to build elaborate structures instead of pre-generated ones.

[raven rover]

Thats why i dont like players giving out money at the anomaly

Ur right, it does ruin the experience

Bcs

What now?

I alr have all the money that i need

Whats the goal now

[raven rover]

Yup, that could be fun

[high steeple]

It felt odd how I— a random stranger could just become overseer within minutes.

I don't even live here.

[warm swift]

this reminds me of Dramiel ship

[high steeple]

I wanna make my Corvette bigger

It's so small

It's like a yacht of a spaceship

[raven rover]

mods is da wae

[high steeple]

Yeah I gotta remove the complexity limit

It might be the design tbh.

It reminds me more of the ghost than an actual battleship.

Unless corvettes in this universe are supposed to be shuttles.

[warm swift]

Red Sparrow

[plucky tartan]

Mine is everything lol. It's gonna be my main base

[high steeple]

I didn't know corvettes had a planetary probes

[plucky tartan]

They don't 😅

[high steeple]

Oh 😭

[plucky tartan]

I had to glitch it on

Definitely doable on console

Same with the specialists rooms

And portal

[hardy oracle]

There's also a mod that changes the regular corvette mission terminal to include a teleporter, a probe and a galactic market

[plucky tartan]

Oof I'm not on pc

[high steeple]

I do have that luxury though

It feels like I dipped my finger in too many pies

A dreadnought, a starship and a Corvette

All of them overlapping with each other

[plucky tartan]

I'm cutting out my dreadnought

Can't really use it for anything tangible

So now it's gonna be a planetary ornament

Same with the reg starships

[high steeple]

I just use mine as a base

I guess the game is a sandbox and you don't need to get EVERYTHING in the game

Just what suits you

What fomo does to a mfer

Granted you're also not supposed to start the game with a billion units

[plucky tartan]

Who did that 😂😂

[high steeple]

Me

[plucky tartan]

Oof ☠️☠️

[high steeple]

I probably wouldn't have this problem of too much stuff if I didn't have so much cash 🤦🏾‍♀️

[plucky tartan]

Restart and put it on survival

[high steeple]

Ugghhhg

I put so many hours in

Sunken cost fallacy

[abstract crow]

With my interior done, my cruiser corvette is basically going to be my new base as well. All the essentials, and plenty of room for activities.

[autumn obsidian]

i don't have another save file

[dapper escarp]

The same one...

Like reload into the game

[autumn obsidian]

it's reloading me into the cockpit because it saves when you get out

[dapper escarp]

Well u could try to switch docked ships then

[autumn obsidian]

cannot land here it says

[raven rover]

Just put a sofa nearby to sit

Or anything that you can sit on

Itll teleport you to the sofa

Or just join someone elses game

[autumn obsidian]

chair just spins lol

[raven rover]

Sofa

[autumn obsidian]

i'm not able to place one where I am at the moment

i have to look through the back of the cockpit

[raven rover]

Yes

Look back

[autumn obsidian]

i can put a chair half way through but not a sofa

[raven rover]

Thats what i did

Oof

What else do you have

[raven rover]

Thaanks man

[plucky tartan]

Anyone know how to place the hab beds and medbay without having the hab?

[autumn obsidian]

how do you get the probe on your corvette?

[plucky tartan]

@autumn obsidian
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). Max scale down and place a small crate near the area 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.

The easiest way I've found to use the terrain manipulator glitch is landing on the crest of a crater

That way your ship hangs over the edge a bit

[autumn obsidian]

dedecation

[plucky tartan]

I wanted a scanner room

Now I have one 🤌

[plucky tartan]

Like this but try and get it as straight as possible so the scanner snaps semi straight instead of tilted

@autumn obsidian I also have these

They stand up straight when I'm not moving and are fully interactable

The planet I'm on I'm gonna release as a Corvette workshop planet

My aim is to see this whole place in use by other builders hopefully

[warm swift]

my attemp to build an x wing

[autumn obsidian]

It really cool. So you're making a mod? I will try to do it on console

I tried to remake the Bastion heavy from reddit and it turned into my Don Julio prison

[plucky tartan]

I'm not making a mod

I'm on xbox

[plucky tartan]

No idea what this is 😅

[plucky tartan]

You're doing great my dude

[warm swift]

and then i run out of mats to trade with other parts lol

[autumn obsidian]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NMS_Corvette_Design/s/q9y4N8Bksy

I have been trying to make something similar

The front is tricky

Not sure how it can be centered without being 3 wide

I got something really similar built and then got stuck inside the cockpit

[civic tendon]

Do you know how to duplicate it works with ship parts

[raven rover]

By offsetting

Offset a block, then place the first part, delete the block and place the 2nd one

[autumn obsidian]

Yes I got off somehow

[scarlet tulip]

What parts should I go for? Is there anything big enough to add a good set of wings? And what about the top? I think I'll need to rip off all the cowling to bring the complexity down enough for wings

[raven rover]

Cowlings

Or arcadia blade & stabilizers

those look decent as "wings"

or you dont have to do wings

Just add something to the side of your ship to unbrick it

[abstract crow]

Brick is love.

So is wedge.

[fresh herald]

Whats the most valuable peice to trade with

[hoary agate]

Reactors i think

They have best barter value

[hardy oracle]

But really, the best piece to trade is the one you don't want

[fresh herald]

Alr ty

The Medusa class reactor?

[odd pecan]

@fast cape the one I talked to you about yesterday and my new ship I made today, the lav

[fresh herald]

I only worked on it for about 10 minutes cause i had school, in about 30 more minutes i shall resume!

[fast cape]

That one on the middle, how did you managed to cram a cockpit so big into a structure?

[odd pecan]

It's a part

Lemme pull up the name

[fast cape]

Also, lovely jedi interceptor at the bottom

:D

[odd pecan]

Omg how did you recognize it😭

[stone shadow]

The smaller one looks great

[odd pecan]

It's called vesper diffuser rim

[fast cape]

Used to be a big fan of Clone Wars, ten years ago maybe

[odd pecan]

Ty I lost my mind trying to make it look passable 😭

[odd pecan]

Nice

[autumn obsidian]

I have a huge XX design

I took this turtle apart

[fast cape]

Damn, how do you make it so smooth?

Those two first screenshots? Sick!

[untold token]

so, i have this corvette desing that i used from a youtube tutorial, ive been upgrading it to class A, but i want to completely change the desing, but still have the class A ship, is that possible?

[stone shadow]

If you change it it will still have an A class - you can fully rebuild it. As long as you don't just scrap it (like, fully scrap, not delete every part) everything should remain unchanged

[untold token]

cause i saw a video from one of the guardians of the galaxy ships and i want to have that one, i love those movies

[stone shadow]

Milano?

[untold token]

yup

qwq

i know you need like some glitch building

is that legal? im kinda new to the game

[stone shadow]

(Almost) everything is legal in this game. You can use mods, glitch build, dupe items - it's all fair game. As long as you don't ruin game for other players (that's more a moral rule than a game rule tho)

[heavy sage]

Taking a supersized corvette into the anomaly can be a bit hard on other players games, just a heads up.

[hardy oracle]

Yeah, be a kind fellow traveller and play with multiplayer off if you disable building limits. Don't harm others.

@untold token anything goes as long as your mindful of other players

These are glitch built into my Corvette

I'm putting an appearance customizer in my Corvette rn

I'd say about 90% of my ship is glitch built

I'm gonna attempt to put hab facilities in my Corvette too

Mostly just a want a medbay

@untold token Be aware with glitch build that your game will crash so save often

I Can't even be mad 🤣 sometimes my game will crash after one piece and sometimes it will crash after 10

[pale pagoda]

If im looking for feedback on my corvette, would this be the place or would i go to the showcasing channels?

[plucky tartan]

Both I'd assume

Lemme see what you got bro

I'm working on my first Corvette build

[pale pagoda]

alrighty, well heres the one i built in survival, dont know how to feel about it, i couldnt really come up with ideas so i kinda just slapped things together

vantablack corvette #100

i just cant come up with a clear vision or image in mind for making one, but im also usually not satisfied with ideas i find online

[plucky tartan]

Ngl I can barely see that with the background

[pale pagoda]

lmao yeah fair

[plucky tartan]

That's way better

[pale pagoda]

yeah had to throw on a filter lol

[plucky tartan]

First, use habs as spacers to give your ship more dimensions

You can always delete them and as long as pieces are overlapping or touching it will count as connected

[velvet vault]

Are there more parts ore are we stuck with what we find?

[plucky tartan]

There's more

[velvet vault]

(And what comes from the terminal)

[plucky tartan]

Atlas parts are from expedition 20 I believe

[stone shadow]

Everything you can get from terminal + there are also atlas parts from expedition.

[velvet vault]

I just started playing again after 10 years lol

[stone shadow]

You can also use a lot of base decorations inside and outside corvettes

[plucky tartan]

And base parts

[stone shadow]

I think those are glitch building things tho...

[plucky tartan]

Correct

[velvet vault]

I don’t wanna glitch the ship and risk crashing

[stone shadow]

Then stick with normal ones, there are still a lot of them + base decorations

[plucky tartan]

You only crash if you're placing base or freighter parts on Corvette

[stone shadow]

Nice design

[plucky tartan]

Other than that you can do the normal glitch building stuff with Corvette pieces

[sick kayak]

Which glitch is used for the base parts? It's a cache thing right?

[plucky tartan]

There's a few

Beeblebub has a lot of videos on them @sick kayak

[sick kayak]

Ok, cool 👍

[plucky tartan]

You have cycle glitch, cache glitch, adjacent glitch

There's others too

Oh and the terrain manipulator glitch

[sick kayak]

Terrain manipulator glitch? Haven't heard of that one, gotta look into that lol

[plucky tartan]

It's building terrain up and through part of your ship so it registers as your base computer instead of your Corvette

Then you have to press start, Y or ∆ (depending on your system), and R2 in that order

It takes some time and patience

Using craters is the easiest way I've found for doing it

If you do stuff this way tho make sure your ship is lvl with the ground or close enough to level or the object you place will be tilted

This glitch works with freighter parts too but If you're gonna put freighter parts on your Corvette make sure your duplicate object is scaled down to max or you'll end up with a giant cube of metal in your ship

[untold token]

thanks for the warning, im farming all the pieces right now

[plucky tartan]

You could go into creative mode and build a ship that way

[untold token]

i blocked my difficulty

wanted to farm and all, i knew about the option but i dont like to be temtep to do easy mode qwq

btw, the enhanced slot, are good? i know these are like random but the closer the better, this one is from the A class corvette i have right now, cause i also was thinking about just doing a new corvette and upgrading it

[plucky tartan]

If you do a new Corvette there's away you can kinda group those slots together but it's also very random and you have literally 60sec to do the whole thing

[untold token]

i read on a video description you have to make a save file then reset, all over again

[plucky tartan]

I did mine a few times before I was satisfied and didn't wanna do the glitch anymore

[plucky tartan]

This is correct

I have 2 right next to each other and 2 adjacent each other

Like corner to corner instead of side by side

[untold token]

how many nanites you need to do that, i suppose is just create the corvette, go upgrade it, then check the enhanced slots and reset if needed

[plucky tartan]

It takes about 20k

[glass surge]

it's 85K to upgrade a corvette to S class

[hardy oracle]

It takes exactly 85k nanites to upgrade a corvette from its initial state to S-class

[plucky tartan]

Da fuck

It did not cost me that much I swear

Or I didn't notice 😅

[untold token]

oh shit, ok ill farm that right now then, i use the black market method, idk if there any other better method

the one you buy black market tech and arms and sell it

[plucky tartan]

You can dupe

🤣

I guess that would make sense as to why I don't have many nanites left

[hardy oracle]

Supercharged slots are pretty impactful, but there isn't nearly as much need for them to be clustered for a ship as it is for a multitool. They will benefit any ship system and nothing is truly useless. That said, I really like how mine are all clumped up so I can supercharge my pulse drive for maximum manoeuvrability. You do generally want to minimize how many supercharged slots are on the edges of the grid too, since you'd also want to maximize adjacency for your supercharged techs.

[plucky tartan]

Anyone wanna VC and chill??

[plucky tartan]

Bro tech me

Teach me

That maneuverability

My current stats

[hardy oracle]

There are a few tricks if you really want to chase those high numbers. 1: the Polo figurine isn't particularly strong on its own, but it benefits disproportionally from adjacency. 2: Grab a Photonix Core from a Starborn runner for a whole extra system that stacks with everything else. 3: Place 3 medusas before you place your cockpit to not waste manoeuvrability there. And then it's just a matter of putting better modules between worse modules

the more adjacent modules your best ones have the better. But S and X class stuff in the middle of big clusters

[plucky tartan]

What's a photonix core

Idk about all the placements for these

[hardy oracle]

Photonix core may not be available to you. It comes from a ship from an earlier expedition, the Starborn Runner

[plucky tartan]

Oh I can get it 😜😏

[hardy oracle]

Of course if you're on PC you can just declare it available through a mod

[plucky tartan]

Star born runner?

[hardy oracle]

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

[plucky tartan]

Yup

[hardy oracle]

You're probably not going to be able to keep those double weapon systems if you really want to max out your stats, there just isn't enough tech slots to go around

[plucky tartan]

That's fine

[hardy oracle]

So you'll just have to decide what is more important to you. No wrong choices, just limitations

[plucky tartan]

As long as my infra knifes stay around 50k they wipe anything

[stone shadow]

Phase beam is also pretty solid in terms of damage

[plucky tartan]

Really anything over 50k is worthless

[plucky tartan]

What general shape are you going for

Or type of vessel

[pale pagoda]

exactly the problem

i cant figure it out

[plucky tartan]

Hualer, fighter

Explorer

My ship is a mix of different builds I've seen

[hardy oracle]

I always start with thinking about what kind of interior I want. What rooms are necessary for the vibes, what layout feels comfortable and convenient. Creativity does its best work if you have some limitations to start with

[plucky tartan]

It's base shape is after the federation Corvette from elite dangerous

@pale pagoda

[native glade]

Hey does anyone have any Aeron blades from recent expedition that they could gift me?

[hardy oracle]

Another thing that I think results in cool looks is if you pick a theme and then make sure not to completely stick to it. Mostly stick to it but make sure to have something quirky.

[frail gust]

do what i do

delete all parts you have

look for parts for 20 minutes

then stop and build out of what you found

restriction brings creativity

I think i should instead make my 400th dorito in the space station and wonder why i hate it lmao

I am not sure what I want to do with the nose of my ship. Ideas?

Put a sentinel eye in there

A blue or purple eye

[frail gust]

put atlas shield gen on front

then have a shiny red nose

like rudolf

Haha. There isn't a snappoint there anyway, couldn't do that if I wanted to

[plucky tartan]

Make a snap point

[frail gust]

it looks fine as is though

Guys

How about this

I must improve

[hardy oracle]

I just noticed that I can place down titan-style interior wall modules anywhere with free placement mode. Is there some way to get this to work with non-titan style pieces?

[untold token]

im building the advanced version right now, the 2 hour video XD

its an awesome desing

[plucky tartan]

@hardy oracle alright bud

You said 2 cores?

[hardy oracle]

Sorry, what are we talking about?

[plucky tartan]

Maneuverability

[hardy oracle]

Ah, the photonix core? Just the one

[plucky tartan]

Oh

Well

[hardy oracle]

It stacks with everything else, but not with itself

[plucky tartan]

Okay I'll keep it for my next Corvette build

What do I want to place before the cockpit?

[hardy oracle]

By placing 3 medusa reactors first, they end up occupying 3/3 of the slots and prevents the cockpit from stealing one

[plucky tartan]

Okay bet

I'll keep that in mind

[hardy oracle]

This is a nice touch, I like it!

[fresh herald]

Im stripping the paint to do it to!

[mental oak]

😂 thank you, it needed something and thats the best i could use for now

[hardy oracle]

I don't think I'll ever fully understand how stats work on spaceships. I genuinely just changed paint and decor and now my manoeuvrability jumped up to a silly number

[plucky tartan]

What bobbleheads go with each other

[hardy oracle]

Only the three you see in my loadout. The others have their own stats that could be useful but they don't share adjacency

[plucky tartan]

Bruh whatf 🤣🤣

[hardy oracle]

I don't think this new number is true. It'll probably revert back to the lower one at some unspecified time in the future

[plucky tartan]

What are the 2 trails you have for?

[hardy oracle]

Oh, the trails provide adjacency for Polo. It helps a lot, but they don't have any stats on their own

If you have to make space for something, those trails are good candidates for removal

That said, they do provide about 150 just for being near Polo so they aren't useless

[plucky tartan]

Damn

I was afraid you'd say that

I don't like the red

[hardy oracle]

The color doesn't matter, use whichever color you like

[plucky tartan]

I tolerate it on my sentinel pieces but that's it 😅

[plucky tartan]

???

Oh

So just the trails in general

[hardy oracle]

Yep. They all have the exact same practical effect. Pick whichever you think looks cool

[plucky tartan]

Sweet, okay

What bobbleheads are those

I have polo

[hardy oracle]

Artemis adds a small boost bonus. Unsure if the tentacle guy does anything. Can replace him with another trail if you don't have him

All I know he provides adjacency to Polo just like trails do

[rose basin]

Be careful with your mix and match's of parts into the design! If you see it, you see it and it wasn't intended 🤣

[lament abyss]

@plucky tartan

No gifs in this channel please

[plucky tartan]

Daaaaaamn it was perfect too

@hardy oracle my trail is now gold

[pale pagoda]

what ive got so far, i wish i could add offroad style headlamps and stuff around

i also wanna add guns in these awkward areas but it just wont let me

There are ways to place stuff pretty much anywhere. Check the pins for video guides

The chromatic and Phoenix take over the rest

[plucky tartan]

Check out beeblebub on YouTube! I learned everything I know from him

And seeing y'all's sweet designs give me inspiration

The ship I'm currently working on is inspired by the federation Corvette from elite dangerous

[warm swift]

yeah done it ones i just tried it out of curiosity, but i don't like it, i prefer grinding for what ever i need

[autumn obsidian]

How did he get this to be 0 wide at the tip and then wider as it went back? Or did he have to start in the back?

I spent some hours trying it

i ended up with an offset ship that has no centerline, and it didn't mesh what what he did here

[abstract crow]

Offset glitch. Or hab glitch. Forgot which one. Hell, maybe both.

Allows you to put things like Arcadia wings or Sentinel wings together for a sharper nose.

[tawdry field]

niceee

I made this

it looks quite different but I like it

anyone got a idea on how to make this a little less dangly? i was gonna put side bits on but i cant find the right ones? the only snap points i have are the ones just back from it

[harsh scroll]

Like this

had to layer habs

[south garnet]

ill just use the thunderbird

[fresh herald]

Guys im finally finished

[fresh herald]

Heres mine

[tawdry field]

wow

the ambassador thrusters look sick on it

[fresh herald]

Yea lol

[tawdry field]

I might put those on mine

wait nvm I have 2 habs instead of those

they should definitely add articulated wings

[fresh herald]

Did you do the glitch part?

[south garnet]

does this corvette look ok? anything i should change

[uncut estuary]

I find myself struggling to put ambassador habs to good use as-is while they're empty... the lighting feels like it comes from random places in the rooms and the whole styling of the curvy walls and refiners feels like one of those ai images of futuristic interiors, back when ai was bad at image generating

[tawdry field]

is there a way to get to the cockpit?

[south garnet]

yep

[tawdry field]

hmm

I think you should add some cowling on the back

[south garnet]

i can fix the module designs

[tawdry field]

and usually aeron parts only look good in black corvettes

[south garnet]

like the refiner or bed and stuff that snaps to walls like that

[tawdry field]

but thats up to personal preference

[south garnet]

where?

[tawdry field]

on top of the hab

maybe an air filter or whatever its called

it looks a bit flat

[south garnet]

yeah i didnt want to use the big parts tho

[uncut estuary]

oh yeah also the genuine bug when looking at the back of habs from going in windows lol. there's nothing on the other side so you see through the back of it textureless

[south garnet]

yeah i hate the lighting and the sides are a bit bad

[balmy kindle]

looks a little flat

[south garnet]

yeahhh i didnt know what to use

[uncut estuary]

my whole mentality is that I don't want to knock it til I try it.... but it's kinda hard to try with this

[south garnet]

fair

[dapper escarp]

I'm surprised I didn't get any flat hate when I showed mine, it's pretty flat

[balmy kindle]

maybe make the wings farther from the main body, like a plane

will make the shape more interesting

[south garnet]

i didnt want to have wings far tho

is it really that bad?

its my third corvette

[balmy kindle]

no its not bad, i just wanted to give some criticism cause you asked

[dapper escarp]

It looks better then mine, so I say it looks good

[tawdry field]

which one did you make?

[balmy kindle]

but it looks fine

[tawdry field]

nah its tuff

[dapper escarp]

Gimme a sec to get an updated pic

[south garnet]

do you have ideas for what i can add on the flat part

[tawdry field]

k

[tawdry field]

maybe an air filter

or whatever they are called

[balmy kindle]

big ahh thruster
