[lost moss]

going forward, that design will probably be my "standard" combat vessel

for future saves as well

same, I think 3 full habs is a good minimum for actually using a corvette as a corvette

partly because you can fit all the storage containers in that space :P

[elder iron]

At least most

I love having a refiner and nutrient processor on my corvettes too

[lost moss]

4 habs is more comfortable, fits all storage containers + mission radar + refiner + nutrient processor

I'm a fan of 4 habs

[elder iron]

I usually dont put all the storage containers in my corvettes

[lost moss]

that's fair

[elder iron]

Btw I think this was the vertical hab/cockpit/landing bay arrangement I was thinking of

[lost moss]

ah I see it, yeah that makes sense

staggered vertical habs

I do that sometimes

[elder iron]

It works really well with the titan cockpit specifically

[lost moss]

I don't like doing too much staggering as that starts to get annoying with ladder placement

[elder iron]

Very true, since mine has that problem

[lost moss]

also I see you used the reverse hab tech to flip the Arcadia wing modules

[unique fiber]

Hello all. I know I’ll probably get some eye rolls cuz it’s so basic. But I am tearing my hair out trying to figure out a way to hide all my shield modules and weapons “inside” my ship. I wonder if I’m missing something, but coming from another survival/builder that seemed to have a lot more snapping point and rotation choices, I’m going a bit crazy. Playing full vanilla btw

[elder iron]

Did I?

[lost moss]

Do you know how to do half-stepping?

[lost moss]

Or some other glitch IDK

[elder iron]

I genuinely dont recall, lol

Built that one a while back

[lost moss]

I also have a build that uses flipped Arcadia wing modules

#nms-corvette-discussion message

this one

this is my largest build

[elder iron]

I feel like I was able to do it just by rotating and flipping, but idr

[lost moss]

Maybe there's a way to jank it into a flipped orientation but afaik it's not "normally" possible

Anyway @unique fiber learn half-stepping building tech if you don't already know how to do it, it will help you hide things a lot more easily, and also just generally opens up a lot of additional building options

Half-stepping is primarily done using Rockhopper Propeller Modules and Ducting Outlets as "scaffolding" pieces

[elder iron]

I recall hiding some things by complete accident

Mainly because some specific placements just dont render the module at all

Could never figure out what specifically caused it

[lost moss]

This game has so much jank lol

[elder iron]

And a lot of it ends up being cool, and thus the devs have a hard time doing anything with it because it could "fix" what's broken

[lost moss]

Yeah

[unique fiber]

I don’t but I’m happy to learn! YouTube?

[unique fiber]

👍

[lost moss]

Yep, refer to these: https://youtu.be/ErdKVfdLJXM https://youtu.be/CzQPQZl8dMU

[unique fiber]

Thanks!

[lost moss]

Learn both of these techs and when combined, they will open up many many possibilities

Rockhopping by itself is useful, but not incredibly powerful, it's when combined with the ducting outlet offsets that the full potential is realized

[unique fiber]

I’ll post my current corvette shortly. I’m fairly happy with it but it’s still nowhere like what I want

[lost moss]

:>

@drowsy plover the layout was bothering me so I made it a straight-through design. Behold, the funny bug dragon thing

it's now a hab + a walkway in a straight line

and has tiny little feet when landed

[elder iron]

Depends how you land it

[lost moss]

I chose the red-and-white color scheme because it looked sufficiently buglike to me, and also evokes the red diplomatic vessels of Star Wars

it does depend on how you land it yeah

[elder iron]

Those landing legs are my favorite

[lost moss]

I experimented with a few landing gear configurations but ultimately decided on a single set of hydraulic legs right in the center
Because it looks cartoonish and funny

the build is already kind of silly looking so I went harder on that

I think I want to half-step the radiator grilles into the landing gear so that there isn't an ugly seam.

namely here.

it looked fine in the terrible lighting inside the space station lol

either half-step or figure out something else to put under there

[elder iron]

Yeah, or adding more grills half-stepped

[lost moss]

Got it, I can just half-step a ducting outlet in between the landing gear and the grille

aw rats, it doesn't maintain its orientation when I remove the scaffolding.

Back to the drawing board

yeah maybe I'll just add more grilles half-stepped like you say

yeah that works better

I think what I don't love about this right now is that the cockpit's kinda "floating"

due to the huge glass windows

the sensible play would be to make the ship bigger, but I am not being sensible since this is a micro challenge build

[unique fiber]

What I have so far, before I learn the secrets 😈

[lost moss]

That's not bad, I like what you're going for

If I have one critique, I think it's a bit too flat for its size. It's kind of got that "pancake" or "pizza slice" issue that I often run into when I'm workshopping a new build

uh oh this Ambassador corvette is becoming even more cursed

it's become like... a sphinx or something

maybe I should go for the butterfly look like Voodoo wanted

[unique fiber]

Yeah and the top is totally bland

[lost moss]

that often goes hand-in-hand with "flat" yeah

[drowsy plover]

Nice !

[lost moss]

hmm now I'm trying to do the butterfly idea

I reeeeally don't like how you can't have a distant top-down view in the corvette builder

and have to fly your ship out to have a perfect top-down view

cuz this is one of those design styles where it's really important to know what it looks like from that angle

I like how the hindwing shaping turned out, but I'm not thrilled with the forewings. I'll definitely have to touch them up later

anyway here's the 🦋

The first person FOV is slightly impacted by the forewings, you can see the tips when looking out the sides

so I may try to make them shorter but wider

but uuuuughhh wide wings in corvette builder.

[lost moss]

That took way too much time

I'm fairly happy with how it turned out, though I would've liked to make the forewings a little bigger still

[north jetty]

amazing

[drowsy plover]

🤯

you are an artist..!

i love it

[rancid phoenix]

Beautiful 😍

Im trying to build a TIE defender style corvette

[blazing hinge]

I guess I like building sentinel looking ships

[fickle bridge]

How can i make my corvett lock better and more functional, mine look every time really bad

[idle dragon]

honestly i just made one look better by tweaking the design about 4 times trying something new each time

i somehow placed my engines inside another part and I liked how it turned out. so all i can say from personal experience is trial and error

[frozen venture]

I missed the expedition for the Aeron Corvette parts, would someone be willing to trade me them?

[nimble stirrup]

try asking around in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[frozen venture]

alr precciate ya

[short eagle]

tried making a sentinel capital ship looking one, any suggestions on how to make it better? i'm a bit frustrated with the lack of parts that can attach to the sides

[fickle bridge]

i love the idea, i maybe want to build something like this too

[short eagle]

mention me if you make something like that, i'd love to see!

[fickle bridge]

when i build it, i ping you

i think you should add a little curvature at the front tho

and a little antenna at the bottom front makes it way better too

i cant go to the roof from the ship, so i need to destroy 1 whole etage 😭

[quaint turtle]

Is anyone here who can help my glitch build one landing pad on my corvette,
Im not good in glitch building and the ship is ready but i need one landing pad on it so i can decorate it

Pls DM me

[west tiger]

I need wings of aeron for a ship build and the other aeron stuff. My friend code is BW6K-JHEJ-P988G for anyone willing. Can someone gift me?

[nimble stirrup]

try asking around in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[west tiger]

Thanks im new so I don't know where was right place to ask

[nimble stirrup]

No worries!

[west tiger]

I wasn't lucky enough to finish Expedition 20 so I'm working on my main ship so these parts will help make sure it's my main ship

[ebon quest]

@heady chasm here it is.

It's definitely not the most prettiest thing and as I've already stated move slower than a damn snail but this thing has gotten me through a lot of trouble

The inside of it's also quite cozy having my own sleeping quarters and kitchen along with nice storage

[heady chasm]

idk if you can do much

besides playing around with parts and seeing how manoeverability changes

[ebon quest]

The only thing I can think is taking out some of the weapon systems that I don't use like the main turret Cannon I don't use that and probably putting in a few engine upgrades but besides that like I said it's not a bad ship

[heady chasm]

no the thing is

its a very weird system

its supposed to work a bit on "aerodynamics" i think

but it also doesnt make much sense

[ebon quest]

Oh so it's chunky build is what's causing it to not want to fly so well

[heady chasm]

might be the issue

maybe flatting it out could do something

or it could not do a thing

[ebon quest]

Well I like my Corvette the way that it is that's why I said I'll probably just make a new one

[heady chasm]

one thing you CAN do is add another medusa reactor if you dont have 2-3 already

[ebon quest]

I like flying around in the equivalent of a K2 tank with hover pads on its side lol

I can try looking for one of those but they're very hard to find through scrap piles

I might have to use the trade system for that one

[heady chasm]

i think the medusa is directly purchaseable

[ebon quest]

Well like I said I'll look into it because as I've already stated before I can get rid of a few of the turret cannons that I don't use which should easily give me a little bit of room

That since it's still a b class I can technically upgrade it to an a class

[ebon quest]

But besides the chunky build what do you think of the very first Corvette that I ever built

[heady chasm]

very epic

mine looked similar

[ebon quest]

You got any pictures of the very first one you built?

[heady chasm]

nope

i just named it "Amalgamous"

[ebon quest]

Damn. "No Stealing homework then"

Who am I even kidding I don't have a creative bone in my body. I was lucky to even make this thing. Lol

[heady chasm]

this is my main corvette rn

[ebon quest]

That's cool looking

[heady chasm]

it has a lot of random shit because for some reason it bumped the manv of it by a little bit

but it also has all the reactors

did my autocorrect just activate?

[ebon quest]

Ya it happens to me to

[hybrid magnet]

Here's my most recent foray into corvette-ing

I call it the Ode to Creation

[lost moss]

Like the ideas. Think the pyramids are a little too busy on the front, and the engines and rear section could be fleshed out some more

some half-stepping would probably help

[hybrid magnet]

Makes sense
Not sure how to half-step lol

[lost moss]

https://youtu.be/ErdKVfdLJXM https://youtu.be/CzQPQZl8dMU

[hybrid magnet]

I'm really really new to this designing thing, and my parts selection is absolutely minimal

[lost moss]

yeah I gotcha

we all start somewhere! I think for an early effort what you've built is very solid

love the vision

[hybrid magnet]

:D

[lost moss]

Time to find some more salvageable scrap

[hybrid magnet]

It's a huge step up from my first

[muted raven]

heres my latest hunk of metal, supposed to be a mini munificent-class frigate

[muted raven]

i call it the quanture

[lost moss]

my first was this lmaoooo
(excluding the tutorial build which was just one of every required part)

[lost moss]

we got a clone wars fan here

[muted raven]

how could you tell 🥹

[hybrid magnet]

My first was uh.
this.

[lost moss]

so looking at the top, I think you could half-step some of the rear hull plating inwards to fill some of those gaps, namely here:

this is the kind of thing where half-stepping really excels

[muted raven]

i hear you

i discovered it naturally the other week and made one of my other corvettes pointy

[lost moss]

Oh yeah this one hehehe

big brick pile

[hybrid magnet]

Yup lmao

[muted raven]

overall i want to remake it to get the dimensions more on point but ill keep that in mind

[lost moss]

It can be quite challenging to get clean shaping within the limitations of the corvette builder

[muted raven]

and with the 100 object limit 😡😡😡

[lost moss]

I find it quite rewarding when I finally "solve" a shaping issue

but I do understand why some people use Blender and mods instead

[muted raven]

yeah i think i would if i had the ability to

[lost moss]

Not to say that Blender builds can't be impressive. But in some ways, I'm personally less interested when I see a corvette that's like 10,000 little panels that've been co-opted into being polygonal faces

At that point, I feel like it kinda stops being a corvette and starts being a generic 3D model. Which is fine and all, and requires its own level of technical skill, but still

This is of course just my subjective opinion

[muted raven]

i think theres definitely a fine line with using it

[lost moss]

yeah, there's definitely a line somewhere in the Blender spectrum

[muted raven]

for me im fine as long as you can still tell it does use the parts from base game clearly

like yeah what you said about them all meshing into polygons is a no no for me

[lost moss]

yeah, I agree. I find those ones more interesting

[muted raven]

i need to work on deco too

like interiors

cuz hot damn i suck at them

[lost moss]

I haven't done much with interior deco lol

a crate here, a barrel there, for an industrial look

[muted raven]

thats what id usually do

for this though because its a banking clan ship i want to make it livable

[lost moss]

makes sense

Also I sometimes put "guide" crates next to stairs to get onto the stairs more easily

[muted raven]

ooh

i kerp forgetting im still so new to this

theres levels to it

[muted raven]

honestly no pun intended

[lost moss]

hehehe

[lost moss]

Yeah, there are definitely levels to it, and people gain levels with inspiration, practice, and experimentation

Just following a tutorial for someone else's corvette can help a lot in learning building techniques and ideas

[muted raven]

ive yet to find a good tutorial personally

im very picky

if you have any recommendations though thatd be grand

[lost moss]

I don't unfortunately, most of what I learned was by visually reverse-engineering what other people did lol

[muted raven]

ahh okay

thats alright lol

[elder iron]

I advise tutorials for half-step building

I got most of my skills from that and just practicing until I got designs I liked

[lost moss]

Yeah you should definitely learn all the half-stepping setups

[hybrid magnet]

-# these advanced modules are practically asking I give a whole s-class corvette for them

[lost moss]

@elder iron the Ambassador micro-corvette
I'm still going to call it a micro even though it's actually kinda big, since the habitable space is very small

[elder iron]

Butterfly, lol

[lost moss]

there are two dead walkways, one in each wing, that I'm using solely for storage containers lol

then there's one accessible one with refiner + mission radar

[lost moss]

it came to my attention that the Ambassador cockpit looks kinda like a bug head so

[true rain]

Some half stepping techniques also apply to regular decorating

Like the placing an object just to position another object

Had so much trouble with decorating before I realized that you can delete a base object without it removing what is built on it

[elder iron]

The base decorations can sometimes interfere with your ability to save a corvette design

[true rain]

Can they? Like if the ship has base decorations and you go to edit the corvette?

[hasty shale]

i think @elder iron might be referring to "not all modules connected" error?

[elder iron]

Yeah, some of the time I've had that glitch, removing the base decorations fixed it

[true rain]

Guess if I ever redesign it’ll be a full remodel

Big fan of decorative clutter. Got fuel cans and spark plugs everywhere

[elder iron]

Yeah, I like the aesthetic too, just havent done it much due to the problem it can cause

[potent arch]

first corvettee

[lost moss]

very solid first corvette

I see you used some of the more advanced techniques to get the Arcadia stabilizers or whatever floating up there

nice!

[potent arch]

yess basically used a dummy block then deleted it

[raven rover]

first one and it looks really really good

Very nice man

[bleak aurora]

how does someone form the top of the head here?

[lost moss]

Half-stepping

Half-stepping is your best friend for that kind of setup

[bleak aurora]

damn I need to see how

[lost moss]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

[raven rover]

Ofsetting

[lost moss]

Rockhopping lets you half-step forwards and backwards
Ducting outlet lets you half-step sideways

[raven rover]

check the pins

[bleak aurora]

oh I get it now

[lost moss]

half-stepping is very powerful :>
not just for positioning parts in more interesting ways - you can also overlap parts with it

[potent arch]

thank youu

ill build more designs too it was fun

[raven rover]

making corvettes is like crack

for me at least

😂

[potent arch]

definitely

[bleak aurora]

and I take it vertical angling is...harder?

oh hell yeah

I wanna give it a bit of a curved tail end

[raven rover]

You can offset vertically

place the duct in front of the hab

or just use the triangular pieces to give it the curved upward look

[bleak aurora]

ah I'm trying to curve downward

for the lobster tail

[raven rover]

same thing

[bleak aurora]

do I use the window to angle things downward?

[raven rover]

Yeah you can do that

you can offset downwards too

[bleak aurora]

how would I do it?

[raven rover]

same thing as upwards

just place the duct in front of the hab

Then move the hab

[bleak aurora]

oh so it's staircasing down, I wanted to like

angle angle it

[lost moss]

Actually angling stuff is harder yeah

[raven rover]

oh yeah do the window method then

[bleak aurora]

current plan is to try and overlap the landing gear and bend the tail down a bit

[bleak aurora]

and how the heck did the guy place the antenae where he wanted?

[nimble stirrup]

lobster

[raven rover]

base deco antenna

Not the corvette variant

[vestal widget]

is anyone willing to lend me the aeron corvette parts, just need to get one of everything. i can give it all back after

[nimble stirrup]

try asking around in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[vestal widget]

Ok ty

[bleak aurora]

ah, well it doesn't seem to wanna angle sideways

[raven rover]

rotate it manually

[bleak aurora]

like the axis?

[raven rover]

Yes

[bleak aurora]

yeah it won't let me

[raven rover]

what part are you trying to rotate

you can only rotate the base building deco one

[bleak aurora]

the antenae

maybe I need to be at my base to do it

[true rain]

Inside the corvette you can decorate like a base

There are base decorations that are antennas

[bleak aurora]

yeah but the problem is when I try to rotate it or change the axis nothing happens

[slim trail]

behold the Black Beetle research corvette

who was doing the N1 from Starwars, i think i found your ship in the Anomaly LMAO

Lots of practice
Inspiration from other designs
Experimentation
Half-stepping and other advanced building techniques

Following a tutorial and seeing what building techniques they used can be very helpful

It's very rare for someone to start off building an amazing corvette - it's a skill you learn over time

patience and experience will reward you

[slim trail]

or just using your imagination

[glass surge]

we also have the technique videos for offset tricks etc pinned in channel

You can find more inspiration here https://www.reddit.com/r/NMS_Corvette_Design/

[lost moss]

Pure imagination is a nice ideal, but more often than not it can only get so far
Even great artists often use references

you'll often need some form of creative input to be able to create good creative output

and understanding what you yourself like helps you create things

[obsidian sundial]

Guys is there any way I can get areon parts ?

Because I’m tryna build a corvette but it needs them

[glass surge]

you can ask at the anomaly if you enable multiplayer, you can trade in #nms-lfg-or-trades, and or use the no mans sky service bot at https://www.nomansapp.com/ that is made by a player.

If the Breach expedition comes back later this year you can also run that to get those pieces permanently

[true rain]

There’s a website someone linked that’s like a shop for that sort of thing

I forget where it is, but it’s pinned somewhere in here. https://ordisdashboard.com/nms

Ah, it’s in the trade channel.

I used it to get aeron parts and it worked well

[lunar eagle]

doo doo doo doodoo doodoodoodooooooooo

[tough plank]

What's this new window method?

[lunar eagle]

I recommend this guy. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lindan+nms

I followed his T-7 Arcline tutorial for my first Corvette. He goes over the half stepping techniques, etc. and it's a pretty tight design.

[muted raven]

thank you very much 🙏🙏

[raven rover]

not new

its been there since the start

using windows to angle parts

[tough plank]

How do you do it?

[raven rover]

https://youtu.be/E81iXiksCe4?si=5BbsXgPxkCoXDypi

[tough plank]

Oh, I thought it was the glitchy angle up and down.

I use that one a lot.

[raven rover]

https://youtu.be/Dfdj2-5yq_s?si=Rc7ej1_uJrlwyUHv

im sure that theres an easier method somewhere

[tough plank]

I saw something were you free rotate a window. Idk with or without mods.

[raven rover]

mods

exosolar babs

[tough plank]

That's what I thought, I tried, but nothing happened.

[tough plank]

?

[raven rover]

I think you could use bases as a rotating method

[raven rover]

thats the name of the mod

[raven rover]

But idk ive never tried it

[tough plank]

Oh.

I don't do mods anymore because it disconnects people from my party. So I can't MP when I have mods.

[lunar eagle]

If you are on PC, the Beyond Base Building mod lets you change the rotation axis so you can do verticals. Console, you gotta do the space thing.

[raven rover]

yep

[muted raven]

astounding news from the land of my xbox, i have redesigned the quanture and it looks a bajillion times better now

[lunar eagle]

@raven rover When you did your station builds, how did you do mecha builds? It seems like you need SO MANY angles and precise positioning of them.

I started working on one and it was just... not a fun experience.

[raven rover]

naa my mechas were all in blender

the chicken and the green humanoid one

the most "mecha"station built ship is the orange one, and i just angled stuff randomly downwards and upwards and then just placed stuff until it looked ok

but yeah making mechs in station is pretty hard

Thats why most mecha builds are made with decos

[lunar eagle]

Oh I saw a Gundam one I was pretty sure you posted, using corvette parts. Must have either been someone else, or you posting another persons corvette in a discussion

[raven rover]

that?

[lunar eagle]

no

[raven rover]

ah yeah then probably just others mech i reposted

[lunar eagle]

more basically posed, had wings/fins on the back, two swords on waist I think. decent gun

yea the dude built that in vanilla

crazy stuff

[lunar eagle]

yeah, I figured if that could be done in vanilla, there must be a simpler trick for angles than what I am doing

[raven rover]

But i think the legs is just 1 angle

Same as the wings

the detailed and more angled parts is just base decos

[lunar eagle]

yeah, I know the feeling

whis are about 5x more complex with the angles tho 😛

[raven rover]

[lunar eagle]

I also try to avoid using non-corvette parts on the exterior as much as possible, but I think I will have to compromise on that eventually.

But more likely, I will just switch to Blender for this one, and put it off for a while

I finished my Crab Tank today, in time for the C&C meet tomorrow. I might go back to a normal corvette next

But I love that orange one of yours . Well, I love the back end. 😛

Not that the front is bad, but the back is like 11/10

[raven rover]

naa i hate the front too

way too basic

but thaanks man!

[raven rover]

Hell yea!

man i still havent finished my vette yet for the meet

[lunar eagle]

I feel liek it should be shorter. The back is a lot more like the GotG ships, so a short front would be good.

[raven rover]

i just cant seem to figure out what i want with it

[raven rover]

Yeah youre right

[lunar eagle]

I saw your spin on the Bowie (didn;t know that's what it was before that since i have not atched GotG3) and thought that was really good too. Went in my "inspo board" folder

[raven rover]

aw hell yea im honored to be there

but building that was a PITA

[lunar eagle]

Your stuff is really good. I'd probably say my 2nd favorite builder atm

[raven rover]

i hate them circles

[raven rover]

🙏 tysm man

[lunar eagle]

Aresmar is still my GOAT

[raven rover]

fr

[lunar eagle]

his stuff is just so damn clean

[raven rover]

functional too

thats what i like the most about his builds

not that he doesn't have a few less great builds, but he knocks it out of the park consistently

its either him or the dude who makes gotg builds

[lunar eagle]

Cosmic_Mosey?

I think his name is

[raven rover]

https://youtu.be/GykkaWTtOdg?si=-ugX6-LWQNgLaQzR

[raven rover]

Yep

[lunar eagle]

I keep wanting to say Cosmic Monkey

[raven rover]

like wat

[raven rover]

😭

[lunar eagle]

It's great, but it's like... 4000 parts. Granted a LOT of that is interior, but still

[raven rover]

yeah the part count is crazy

its the decals too

really accurate but yea

insane part count

[worldly oasis]

Quick question, I’m on console, every time I buy corvette parts via trade I never find them in my inventories, does anyone know where they go?

[drowsy plover]

it could be going in that cache inventory in the space station..? idk, just a guess

[lost moss]

Make sure your exosuit/starship inventory isn't full. I think there's a bug where you can trade even with a full inventory and so the items disappear

[worldly oasis]

Aren’t showing up in there either

[worldly oasis]

Feck ok I just wasted a ton of parts then lol

Thanks

[lost moss]

Hopefully they fix that one lol

[maiden kettle]

Hey everyone, I’m kinda new to nms and just finished the main quest ( I think ) and I wanted to build a corvette I saw online but I guess I need corvette parts from expedition 20 breach which is over, I don’t wanna be a begger or anything like that but is it possible to get them even after the expedition is over and if not could someone give me the parts from expedition 20 ( again I don’t wanna be a begger but I saw online it’s kinda the only way to get them but I feel like it’s kinda messed up because if a player gives them he won’t have anymore for him or maybe I’m missing something anyways I’m just asking if someone could give me the expedition parts send me a dm…)

[nimble stirrup]

You could ask around to see if anyone else has some they'd be willing to give in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[maiden kettle]

Thx

[nimble stirrup]

Sure thing!

[bitter river]

Nms discord be like - Work on your build all day, hit up discord to play with it, and all you find are pc players crashing your game with corvette builds that aren’t practical what so ever and take 15-20 mins to load. Atleast it’s not the sims 4.

[lost moss]

Yeah those people are not good people lol
Best to report them or something

[bitter river]

Thank you, 😊 card to find a good group sometimes but I do love everyone’s creativity when they arnt crashing games 😅

[lost moss]

would be nice if HG added a hard limit for multiplayer corvettes or something

It's fine to appreciate your own work, but crashing other peoples' games is a no no

[muted spoke]

Yk what would be cool

If your corvettes when hovering would provide cover fire when u engage enemies on the ground

Same thing with your freighter

[daring aspen]

She this person's corvette how did they get a portal and storage like this?

[lost moss]

glitches and/or mods

[arctic jetty]

If you're still up and need some I'm in game rn, and I can spare some :)

[true rain]

How would I make this go up a half step

[sterile owl]

Attach a hab to the b a ck

Then place streamlined trim cap on too of the hab

Then move the hab on top of the streamlined trim cap

There ya go

[true rain]

This is too high. I guess not a half step then

[lost moss]

you moved it up a full step it looks like

[true rain]

Let me try again

[lost moss]

My recommendation is actually a simpler one

put a hab on top of the walkway

move it back half a step with Rockhopper propeller

attach reactor to front of half-stepped hab

profit

use the easy solution rather than the more involved solution

[true rain]

Yeah that was way easier Thank you

[lost moss]

using the ducting outlet/small vent/streamlined cap tech is a little weird but I promise that eventually it'll click and you'll understand how it works

[true rain]

I’ve managed to make it so small

How does this look?

[fickle bridge]

Is it possible to make 3 ships and just connect them with something that is looking invisible?

I mean something that is sooooo tiny that it looks, like its invisible

[halcyon sky]

Rockhopper thruster half offset

[viral crane]

I'm still waiting for someone to make a Corvette shaped Corvette

[lunar eagle]

I use the station builder without an uncap mod, so my Corvette proper is under 100 parts. But it has probably another 100-200 parts in decorations added, mostly inside. Some of us are conscious of others. 😛

[spring brook]

good morning guys, i need some help. I am new on this game and i din t take part to most of expeditions. I would need the following blueprints
Aeron Blade
Aeron Diffuser
Aeron Cowling
can anyone help me?

[lunar eagle]

Ask in https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/725186274109030421 -- lots of peopel in there regularly who can help

[spring brook]

thanks tsunami

[lunar eagle]

if you are on PC, there is a way to play old expeditions, btw.

[spring brook]

really????

[lunar eagle]

Yes, I skipped the two corvette expeditions myself and played them after. https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[spring brook]

you r my hero

[lunar eagle]

full instructions on how to do it if you scroll down

[halcyon thorn]

i made it as large as possible lol

[lunar eagle]

How does one get habs and walkways on their side these days? I can get them vertical front to back, or at angles, but when I slope them past a certain angle straight off to the side, nothing will attach to them.

[shadow garden]

i need my corvette landing pads

[sterile owl]

YES

[fickle bridge]

@dark juniper you know EVERY rarity, how many frighters am i need to sna, to find an S pirate frighter

[dark juniper]

Depends on local system economy

[fickle bridge]

how can i fast find outlaw

[dark juniper]

Look at systems on the galaxy map with either an Economy Scanner or Conflict Scanner installed, Outlaw Systems have a unique economy and conflict tier

The Economy Scanner is far cheaper to install

[fickle bridge]

which one is better to find an Outlaw

[fickle bridge]

how many hours do i need to find an S Pirate frighter

[lunar eagle]

Saw this at the meet today

[fickle bridge]

POV: NMS pets aren't cute enough and you need to build one by youre self

[slender python]

What do yall think of the interior of my corvette I wanna make it so it feels lived in so im pretending like I have 3 crew mates working on the corvette

Also this is where I live

[bleak aurora]

If I knew there was a meet I'd bring my LORB ship

[fading moon]

@buoyant turtle

[buoyant turtle]

not that big a difference

alright thanks

[buoyant turtle]

my corvette's coming along decent

if i'd say so

im trying to not make it look blocky

but its so hard because i only have one unit of the good parts

[buoyant turtle]

im not sure where to go from here

[lunar eagle]

It was the weekly Corvettes & Coffee meet-up. Look for MaverickNMS on YT, and there is a C&C discord server you should be able to find by googling it.

Although he said there probably won;t be one next week, so the next should be 2 weeks from now.

He streams the meets, looks at a bunch of Corvettes and comments. Plus you can go look around at everyone else's builds

It does get kinda laggy tho and can take a long time for everything to load in sometimes. Can be up to 32 ships around.

[bleak aurora]

Aeugh I don't know if my game can handle that

[lunar eagle]

They do host it on a new, dead world every time so there is minimal environmental burden

the location is only revealed 30 minutes ahead so people don;t go there and plunk down bases and cause worse lag issues.

[buoyant turtle]

damn my sentinel starship outclasses my corvette everywhere

other than looks

[lost moss]

Corvettes need a lot of nanites to upgrade, and their handling is still overall worse than Sentinel starships
Smaller corvettes will tend to handle better, at the cost of interior space

[buoyant turtle]

@lost moss see the lower deck and ladder part isnt the issue...

completely blocked off 😭

i built this with looks in mind i forgot i had to drive the damn thing

[lost moss]

oops lmao

[buoyant turtle]

and idk how to fix that without completely butchering how the corvette looks

i mean arguably it looks better if you remove the cowling although that doesnt really address the core problem

[uncut fog]

Is my ship too big?

Its 5 stories tall with 9 engines

Sorry, 8 engines

No 12! I cant count apparentally

[warped nova]

Up to you/depends on the purpose of the ship.

Mine is 12 stories, ‘functional’ federation ship style.
Wouldn’t go any taller than 12, one more floor and it’ll clip through the ceilings of space stations…
(Pictures of a slightly earlier version of the build)

[uncut fog]

Woah thats practically a star destroyer. I play in creative mode (the main reason i got nms was for the ship building and to play with friends) so its mainly to fly around and look cool, and i have smaller ships if im actually trying to get something or find smth on a planet and not have problems with landing lol

[lost moss]

Corvettes don't need to land on planets

you can get out of the seat close to the planet, and teleport to the surface at the entrance hatch

[uncut fog]

Oh yeah

[buoyant turtle]

what is the purpose of the elevator hatch if i cant put it underneath my ship

i genuinely dont know how to fix this

im fucked

[lost moss]

maybe stream what you're doing and people can give advice

[warped nova]

That makes sense, my pc is certainly snarling like a beast anytime it’s on screen, but it’s worth it. Feels great to be flying what’s essentially a 12 story building around. Handles like a train fired from a cannon but, again, just feels really reassuring on some extreme world, seeing it off in the distance, or hovering in the sky.
I think your build looks cool, for what it’s worth, certainly seems ready for some long haul missions!

[lost moss]

I'm not on a machine with a microphone atm though

[buoyant turtle]

my framerates will get cooked but alright

[lost moss]

I have a variety of corvette builds with different vibes
Big corvettes like that are cool, but I like little ones too

[warped nova]

I get that, this was my first build. Been thinking of a micro corvette for the next one, once i figure out a design i like. See some really cool builds at the anomaly sometimes - looks great and doesn’t incinerate my gtx1060 from before the cold war

[lost moss]

I posted a few of my micros here previously

they're not the most stylish but I'm pleased with how they turned out

[warped nova]

That’s cool, how do I find them?

[lost moss]

has:image from:7ge4 in search or something like that

The one I'm most pleased with is the little gunboat

[warped nova]

👍

[lost moss]

The 4-propeller VTOL craft also received extra guns after the screenshots, half-stepped inside of the top hull plating. This lets me retain 6 Phase Beam pairs in the animation for high firepower

[royal lava]

This is amazing

[uncut fog]

Ok i made a new one

[tall trellis]

New Razorcrest

[uncut fog]

Yooo peakkk

Also why master chief

[tall trellis]

Ima fan of halo; thanks btw

[uncut fog]

Fair

[quick crater]

It looks like its one of those metal 3D puzzles.

[fading moon]

i turned my corvette into a gun somehow

[tacit tundra]

how come i dont recieve the module i traded for when i trade for advanced modules?

[fading moon]

might have failed

[lunar eagle]

is your suit inv full?

[tacit tundra]

i didnt check but it probably is

[lunar eagle]

you n eed space for them to go

put any others in the station cache

you can trade from the cache, and it is available in any station

[tacit tundra]

kinda dumb that it still takes your items anyway

wait hold on it did it again and my inv wasnt full

[lost moss]

Sometimes the game bugs out

trade, then exit the terminal, then trade again

[bleak aurora]

I still can't flip this fucker to sit horizontally on the red panels

[young tapir]

maybe you need 206 antennas?

[bleak aurora]

I don't think that's it

[young tapir]

dunno im just not sure 205 is enough

[marsh venture]

try putting a part in front of it letting it snap to the front piece and then delting it

[bleak aurora]

like what?

[marsh venture]

something that snaps there, you can build up to it or you can build to the area, just delete everything you build, sometimes you gotta get crazy with the cheez wizzz

[bleak aurora]

I meant to ask what kind of parts does a tall antenna snap to

[marsh venture]

i think almost anything, i havent used the antena much so im not positive

[bleak aurora]

the antenna here

is what I am trying to achieve

[lost moss]

isn't that a base antenna that's been glitched on, rather than the corvette antenna?

[bleak aurora]

yeah, been trying to figure out how

[arctic jetty]

What do we think of the tiny recon drone?

[lament palm]

How did you do that?

It looks great

Btw

[arctic jetty]

Mods XD, the top is completely different now, I just added the electronics equipment

Moved the drone back to make room for the radar dome and antennas

I'm not sure whether to go with the big dome on top or put a smaller one on each side

@lament palm
I knew I recognized you!

[lament palm]

Heh Yesyes I have been offline for while

[arctic jetty]

no worries bro, glad to see you again

[lament palm]

Yesyes you too

Looks still good btw

I like it

[arctic jetty]

tyty

Changing up the dishes atm lol

I need it more streamlined

[lost moss]

[arctic jetty]

Gunter, don't worry

[lost moss]

lmao

The "forewings" are the radar mounts, in my head they provide a large surface area for advanced sensor suites

this ship is not a dropship - the internal space is very limited

[lost moss]

After I took that pic, I recolored it to my usual cobalt and orange lol

I like having a common "fleet uniform"

[arctic jetty]

I feel that

I'm kinda the same way

[lost moss]

All the ships I routinely use share a blue-and-orange color scheme, usually a darkish blue and brighter orange

this color scheme also extends to other games lol

but that's not a topic for here

[arctic jetty]

XD I feel that

Really depends on the games for me

[brittle iron]

I call it.. BIG BIRTHA

[ebon wraith]

fitting name

[brittle iron]

yes

[fickle bridge]

does someone have good ideas for corvettes?

[low thicket]

All mass effect ships, they are beautiful.

Or halo ships because you can make them pretty well with parts available

[arctic jetty]

Build whatever is the most fun to build and fly

Yeah that's way better than what I said

[fickle bridge]

You guys know Sims 4 right?

[mossy cliff]

Does anyone have any guides on how to build a pirate ship?

[arctic jetty]

We got a decent-sized cargo hold here

[mossy cliff]

Nice gives me halo wars 2 vibes I love it 😍

[arctic jetty]

tytyty <3333 It was so hard to get that thing in there, had to keep landing to get the angle for the side doors right

[mossy cliff]

💙🫡

[arctic jetty]

Made an absolutely atrocious edit of it

Probably added too many effects, not the best work I've done

But a cool transformation

[mental zealot]

I wanna add more prices past 100 so I can make a star destroyee

Destroyer

[mental zealot]

Add a flag

[buoyant turtle]

i need someone's opinion on something

which one looks better

[buoyant turtle]

(ignore the 2 black parts its a visual bug their colors are the same as the entire ship)

[lunar eagle]

you don;t need a hab or walkway between the landing bay and the cockpit, right?

[buoyant turtle]

im pretty sure you do

[lunar eagle]

nah, it works. you need a hab to attach a cockpit to, but then you can delete it and directly attach the lnding bay

[buoyant turtle]

oh

i should have known that before i built the corvette

well anyway

[knotty frost]

Hello, just received my first parts for a Corvette. Don’t know what to do with them

[buoyant turtle]

recieve more parts and build a corvette at a space station

[twilit zodiac]

Big moves happening

[misty gate]

yo wat kind of candy do u have ?

[wheat tiger]

Ayo ram??

[twilit zodiac]

Geknip pops 👍

[misty gate]

mmmmmm so like can i get some

[zenith lantern]

The Floatin’ Lily (forgot to remove the couch at the end of the bow, could’ve taken more pictures but that’s the beauty of it)

[knotty frost]

I think I have to buy the other parts

[buoyant turtle]

nope you can always explore and find other parts

[knotty frost]

Okay well, I don’t know where to find those 😂

I need a cockpit

[buoyant turtle]

Salvage containers

[knotty frost]

Could take hours to find a cockpit in a salvage container

[buoyant turtle]

not really

[brisk gull]

my ship is nothing special but i like it

[fallow jasper]

Is there a reason why whenever I put in one of those modules like the mission radar or refinery unit into my corvette, the wall on the outside changes color

[raven rover]

and thats the most important thing

if you like it then its special to you

[brisk gull]

BEEG fighter class lol

[fickle bridge]

Can i delete my Corvettes?

[raven rover]

yes

by trading em to a npc

you cannot scrap em, so thats the only way rn

[lunar eagle]

VF-1S Valkyrie Roy Fokker SE (flight mode) and reference images

[raven rover]

hell yea

the decals is a nice touch

[lunar eagle]

I am gonna do all 3 transformations

it's modular enough I can do it pretty easily

[raven rover]

that head is going to be pretty rough

[lunar eagle]

I'll cheat and use base parts for that

[raven rover]

[lunar eagle]

and/or shrunk-down corvette parts

it's currently under 80 parts used, so I got some leeway

[raven rover]

whats the max youre goin for

[lunar eagle]

100, else I gotta install an uncap mod 😛

[raven rover]

[lunar eagle]

miceo interior, just landing bay into cockpit this time

[raven rover]

i mean you could go over it with blender

you just cant edit it ingame

[lunar eagle]

I am using Blender for tweaks, but I prefer to build in the station

[raven rover]

fair

[lunar eagle]

as much as possible, anyway

Next C&C or the one after is gonna be Sci-Fi media theme, and I did not want to be one of the other probably 20 Millenium Falcons or Star Destroyers there 😛

[raven rover]

LMAO

ill probably make smth from an obscure anime

[lunar eagle]

or MIlanos, X-wings, or Enterprises

[raven rover]

i mean i alr made a ship based on one

[lunar eagle]

You got a Yamato / Argo already done, don;t you?

brought it 2 weeks ago, IIRC

well, week before yesterday

[raven rover]

naaaa ive never built the yamato

its a ship from LOGH

[lunar eagle]

i am 99% sure I saw one in your build pics

[raven rover]

repost

its this guy

but ts is way too obscure

[lunar eagle]

is this one the one from LOGH?

yea

Reinhard's flagship?

[raven rover]

yepppp

took major creative liberties with the brunhild

but as for the barbarossa one, i tried to make it kinda accurate to the anime one

[lunar eagle]

yeah this ship orone of these. I swors I saw it in a pic with a bunch of your others all lined up...

[lunar eagle]

That is very nice

[raven rover]

naa man, ive never built ships like these

i want to

but idk, seems like there is alr a bunch of em around

[lunar eagle]

the parts available lend themselves to this style

long, "ship"-shaped corvettes

[raven rover]

yeah true

[lunar eagle]

I don;t think they wanted to include a bunch of fighter-jet style parts for example, since we have the regular fighter spaceships alredy

[raven rover]

and yet

😂

[lunar eagle]

Yeah, we hack the system to make it fit

[raven rover]

saw the f22 raptors day 1

[lunar eagle]

if there was no 1/2, 1/4 step, no hab flips, no other glitches, our ships would look like Starfield's

[raven rover]

but

the thing that starfield have is those big cockpits

i like those

i want more weirdly shaped parts tbh

[lunar eagle]

I get that HG is a small dev, workign on another game, that NMS is 10 years old, and they do all these updates for free, but what we all really want is liek 5x more corvette parts to play with XD

[raven rover]

so its all not just 1x2 or 1x1

a 1x3 would be cool

or a T shaped part

Etc

[lunar eagle]

I want actual wings, and smooth wide-area parts.

[raven rover]

2 whole updates without corvette parts

😭 😭 😭

the 1 thing i REALLY want is rotating thrusters

[lunar eagle]

Also a flat piece that matches the tops of cowlings or diffusers so you can put a slope at the front, and continue that line

[raven rover]

longer speedbird parts pls

😔

[lunar eagle]

Smooth or rounded side-pieces, liek for the Speedbird parts

YEah, I got a list XD

[raven rover]

yeah

man

i just hope this bee update has some new parts

PLEASE HG I NEED THIS

MY CORVETTE KINDA HOMELESS

[lunar eagle]

I doubt it tbh. I expect it's gonna be some sort of crew update, like squadrons. since that mechanic is probably needed in Light no Fire

who knows tho

[raven rover]

🤞

[raven rover]

seems cool

[lunar eagle]

I might actually download a corvette off the delivery bot if I can find one that has well-made humanoid hands XD

save myself some work.

[bleak aurora]

Voyage of the LORB

[lunar eagle]

I do like your lobster build

no one got my joke about it the other day tho

[bleak aurora]

still needs antennas for the front but we'll get to it eventually

[feral siren]

I would really like vertical and 90° rotated hull links too

[fair pilot]

My latest corvette (base builder app).

[low thicket]

Tempest ND1 from mass effect is the one I did, absolutely amazing. Only downside, it killed building my own corvettes since nothing I can do compares.

[bitter juniper]

My first build. Made this yesterday.

[lost moss]

the box

[cedar timber]

Mine looks like a cardboard

😔

[lost moss]

Building good corvettes takes a lot of things, but a lot of it is just practice, experimentation, and seeing how other people put things together

Also judicious use of half-stepping and other advanced building techniques

[radiant juniper]

this is my current design for my corvette (the old design was a bit longer but still very bulky)

[pseudo ember]

I build my first corvette off of YouTube. Took me basically all day with all the breaks, but i like it.

[cedar timber]

I wasnt lying 🔥

[cedar timber]

Holy moly

[worthy rapids]

mine looks like absolute garbage...probably the worst I have ever seen

are we supposed to be experts on ship building to d othis?

I have no idea what goes where

[cedar timber]

sameee

I just randomly put things

And do a cardboard

[cedar timber]

Its comfy tho ngl

[worthy rapids]

haha i did too but everything ended up o nthe left side, it wouldnt let me put anything on the right and had a huge gap i nthe middle

[cedar timber]

Mine has a gap on middle too

Lemme send it

[worthy rapids]

I dont suppose we can just buy one lol

theres no way on earth ill ever build a decent one

[cedar timber]

I just put a reactor next to the hole

Ceto class one

İt covers it from the top

[coarse talon]

i really love my corvette, went nuts decorating the interior will share that eventually

[cedar timber]

Reall Too lazy for that

[lost moss]

Absolutely not lol
When you see people build cool corvettes, they either followed a tutorial, and/or they practiced a lot

[cedar timber]

Holy moly

[lost moss]

building good corvettes isn't something you start off doing

it's an acquired skill

that requires a lot of learning, patience, and experience

[cedar timber]

Im too lazy for that and im happy with my cardboard 😭😭

[cedar timber]

See that masterpiece???

[worthy rapids]

yeah i dont have taht kind of time or energy to take 20 or s oparts and build something lol

[lost moss]

I bought this game mainly for the corvette builder lol
So naturally I got into it a lot

[worthy rapids]

i could see how it is greaqt for some but not for others

[coarse talon]

i spent like 3 hours last night redoing my interior, exterior i redid two days ago spent like 2 hours. i really love the designing.

[lost moss]

it's very much a "creative types" aspect of the game

theres no way to buy a premade one?

[lost moss]

I think there is an NMS app for that but I have never used it myself

[cedar timber]

I dont think so

[worthy rapids]

i didnt see any way to do it either

[coarse talon]

there’s some app on the store that works like the wiki so should have the corvette info on it

[cedar timber]

Maybe have a friend thats expert on it

[lost moss]

like, some kind of bot, IDK

[cedar timber]

And force em to build u one

at gunpoint lol

[coarse talon]

my screenshot i shared a few minutes ago is my first build, but i do love building in games

[worthy rapids]

7 days to die is the only game i have ever enjoyed building in

[lost moss]

I don't see much/any half-stepping in there
I think some of the shaping could be rounded out with that

[bitter juniper]

Wow I’m having so much fun with my corvette.

So many cool features.

Didn’t know these existed

[cedar timber]

Woah

[worthy rapids]

some people are naturals at building things, I know people like that in RL

[cedar timber]

I feel bad for my ship

[lost moss]

some people are more naturally talented at it, but talent still only goes so far
so much of corvette building is practice

[cedar timber]

At this point

[bitter juniper]

I think I posted an image of it here but mines (and my first ship) is just a literal square.

[worthy rapids]

my ship i couldnt even enter it was built so bad lol

[lost moss]

#nms-corvette-discussion message

this is my big corvette

[cedar timber]

WOAH

[lost moss]

just a big triangle, very much influenced by fighter jets and such

[cedar timber]

How long did it take 😭😭😭

[lost moss]

hours

[cedar timber]

Relatable

[lost moss]

the first versions were very unsatisfying, and it took a lot of revision and reshaping to get it here

[worthy rapids]

ive heard a few people say their vettes always end up as triangles

[coarse talon]

I will get a different angle, but yeah mines slightly box shaped & a bit wider towards the thrusters.

[worthy rapids]

well do you all start wit ha certain part and build off that?

[cedar timber]

I think Function is more important than appearance

[lost moss]

lately I've been trying to make other shapes, as well as tiny corvettes with high maneuverability for effective combat

[cedar timber]

Appearence would matter more if i were good at building tho

[coarse talon]

saw someone on here made a space lobster and i loved it

[lost moss]

that butterfly was annoying to make lol

[cedar timber]

Yeahh i saw that it was so coolll

[lost moss]

the corvette builder doesn't make it easy to make wide wings

[worthy rapids]

still looks pretty good at least it is a semblence of something lol

[lost moss]

I used a number of parts in ways that I hadn't tried before in order to get the shaping

[cedar timber]

Can u send your Starship?

[worthy rapids]

i deleted it

[lost moss]

I use big corvettes as moving bases and small corvettes for combat lol
Corvettes have the highest damage potential of any starship type, due to (buggy?) Phase Beam behavior

[worthy rapids]

ill have to start over when i have a better idea of what to do

[lost moss]

and smaller ones have higher manueverability

[cedar timber]

Awgh

[worthy rapids]

i was too embarrassed to show anyone that

[lost moss]

so for example this is one of my combat builds: #nms-corvette-discussion message

[cedar timber]

Haha i think it doesnt matter so much

You guys are soo good at making ships

[lost moss]

I didn't start off good lol

[worthy rapids]

im prett ysure any 5 year old could build a better one

[cedar timber]

I just have one and use it on anything

[coarse talon]

niceee I was going that route too I have my one corvette for mobile base & wanted to have fun making a bunch of combat ones

[lost moss]

I also grew up with Legos as a kid so that probably helped

but

building good corvettes still took me a bunch of practice

at least, corvettes that I'm not upset about myself with lol

my first one was this lmaoooo

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1411919451724582933/1507497757252911245/image.png?ex=6a1612b1&is=6a14c131&hm=9badff6d88ab61aa67e05b113f4ebe0ffd27a24a25cb48c35491bf9680b736d8&

[worthy rapids]

haha still light years better than what i made

[cedar timber]

Still looks FIRE

[coarse talon]

still nice looks like it’d be a combat ship you could trade / buy from npc honestly

[lost moss]

very flat topped

[cedar timber]

U see that box? Its the only ship i Have 😔

[lost moss]

Half-stepping helps a lot. I was able to hide 6 gun mounts inside the engines

so this little guy still packs the full stupid power of the corvette Phase Beam

When possible, I try to fit 3x Phase Beam Array + 3x Photon Cannon Array, to max out the Phase Beam's effective potential

[coarse talon]

niceee I’ll def be testing out half steps when I start a new combat one.

[lost moss]

Maybe but I definitely wasn't very pleased with it 🙃

[lost moss]

It helps a lot to acquire more parts

tangential but I should try making a basic parts build again

I kinda did that actually recently

trying to make a corvette with only the basic parts you can buy

[lost moss]

anyway thanks lol
I didn't mean to sound rude or anything

[lost moss]

Half-steps make everything better

[cedar timber]

Sorry i entered in fight with sum sentinels

[lost moss]

lol

no worries

[cedar timber]

Maan i just saw a space ship on anomaly it looks SO cool i feel ashamed...

[lost moss]

Sometimes I show up at the Anomaly just to check out other corvettes for inspiration

[analog socket]

yall got any videogame based corvettes

[elder iron]

It would be funny if someone made one based on a Mario level

[gusty forge]

Here’s my primary corvette
where it started vs where it’s at now
think it’s an upgrade?

[lunar eagle]

I have one somewhat based on a ship from EVE Online

Another based on some concept art for Cyberpunk 2077

[lapis violet]

🧒🏻Way cool❕❕

[lapis violet]

😦I have a question in my normal save file I need Crystalize Helluim and Activated Quartzite to install my exocraft summoning unit into my exosuit is there a resource farm to get them quickly ❔

[lunar eagle]

And my current build is based on an anime -- Macross

[lunar eagle]

I'm currently trying to do the transformed verison of the Macross plane, but it's not letting me enter the cockpit anymore

[lapis violet]

😮This is a nice Planet ❕

Oh my bad❗

😮This my Corvette in my normal save file ❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕

😦I want the Areon parts but I don't know anyone that has an extra set

[brisk gull]

saw this massive ship earlier in the nexus and i was amazed

[analog socket]

that rocks actually I love that

[glass surge]

go to #nms-lfg-or-trades and ask to trade,you can use this site https://ordisdashboard.com/nms , and or you can use the no mans sky service bot and get those corvette parts https://www.nomansapp.com/

[fair pilot]

Oh, I've seen ya in the anomaly yesterday before the log off.

[pseudo ember]

Oh cool. Did you saw the ship?

[fair pilot]

I mean the corvette, yeah. Very cool build. Not exactly what I'd like to fly myself, but very cool.

[pseudo ember]

Thank you. What do you prefer?

[lost moss]

One day I'll actually figure out something to build with Aeron parts

[fair pilot]

I'm building corvettes myself, that's my latest build. 3.5 habs internal space.
Mostly vanilla builds, with some visual tweaks in base builder app.

Trying to keep balance between shape and utility.

Some interior shots

[upbeat tundra]

I’m so sad u can’t put a extra cockpit as decoration ngl

[lunar eagle]

Valkyrie Battloid mode WIP. Once I get all the parts done I need to re-pose it, but it's coming along pretty quickly

It's the transformed version of this corvette: #nms-corvette-discussion message

I plan to do all 3 modes as seen here:#nms-corvette-discussion message

Not thrilled with the head, but I am trying to figure it out

[fair pilot]

There are some ways to, iirc

[fickle dirge]

How can I get the aeron blade

[lunar eagle]

Do Expedition 20 (possible if you are on PC), use a save editor (also, PC), or ask in https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/725186274109030421

[fickle dirge]

oh i'm on playstation so I guess not

thanks

[lunar eagle]

ask in that other channel, it's full of people who do that regularly

[lost moss]

People often have spares, since it's possible to create more as long as you have just one

so just poke someone in that channel

[lunar eagle]

He barely fit sin the station LOL

I can't even do deco on the top area because it is out of range for the corvette base to register

[raw lance]

guys, im planning to farm S class venators, new here. So I did 4 warps and I am on the corvetter I leave my cockpit to create a restore point and once I fight pirates and land on Venator freighter to find out what class it is, wouldn't I replace that restore point cuz I leave the cockpit anyway?

[lunar eagle]

you will have better luck in this channel https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/471868642204712971

[pseudo ember]

It looks stunning tbh

[pseudo ember]

Wow, my interior can’t compete with that. Really impressive stuff

[raw lance]

yes, ty, found it

[feral flame]

how did you make that

[lunar eagle]

Started by building the plane version in the hangar, wth a few tweaks in Blender. Then copied it and loaded it into Blender to move the parts around, scale and angle a few.

I am working on the hands now

[feral flame]

ok

[lunar eagle]

I replaced the head in a new version. Did not liek it and the new one uses a single part (aeron drive) and looks 10x better, except for the color

[sturdy otter]

Alr i had to come over here to say, my corvette is WAY better than everyones

[sturdy otter]

Well mine doesnt even have a accessway so ha

[marsh venture]

exactly its uselss lol

cant even get in there

[sturdy otter]

yuh

u just fly up

[sturdy otter]

Gawd damn

This is my only corvette

[sturdy otter]

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE

[sturdy otter]

IT KEEPS GOING

[marsh venture]

4k hrs of nms will do that

[sturdy otter]

i have 40 😭

[sterile owl]

Is that a motorcycle???

[sturdy otter]

Basically

[sterile owl]

If you can glitch build, use a cargo link for the wheels

[sturdy otter]

Oh ok

Thx

I hadn’t thought of that

[sterile owl]

Ye sure

[fickle dirge]

anyone know how they made the floor here?

[fair pilot]

Thank you! Pinnacle of my corvette-building atm. Basis is always doable in vanilla, to keep the NMS unique style. But styling is often done in BBA now, cause more possibilities.

[fair pilot]

Just Ambassador hub floor. Or you mean some specific detail?

[fair pilot]

What is fun, is that I was on the next pad when you was in the anomaly to take a few shots of your corvette.

[pseudo ember]

What u mean with vanilla and BBA? I don’t know what u are talking about. 😂
I just started the game a couple months ago and I’m basically a PlayStation player only 😅

[pseudo ember]

lol. We can do some shots together a little later if u want

[raven rover]

Vanilla means using no mods or external tools

BBA means base builder app/add on.

[pseudo ember]

Oh, okay thank you

[north jetty]

how do u even build that... and what position does it fly?

[lunar eagle]

It flies standing up. I just finished it I think, I'll ost photos as soon as I get it back int he game.

[fallen fractal]

how can i remove the photon cannon from my corvette
