[lunar eagle]

He's 99% I think. I need to shring the gun, reactor, and a hab to hide them (they wer eon the back, I forgot), but other than that I think he's pretty good

you mean in the tech area? You can't.

[fallen fractal]

ahh that sucks

thx

[raven rover]

the hands came out lookin real nice

great job man

[lunar eagle]

TY. Small Crates and the tips are that one side panel piece. main part is two Firebox Fairings, one slightly smaller and black as the palm.

I saw most people use those gas canisters and I did not want that look.

[raven rover]

yeah i dont really like the gas canisters too

too uh

fat

[lunar eagle]

the ONLY downside is those stupid side panels do not have a back face, to you can see through them from behind. One polygon economy wrecks it XD

[coarse talon]

working on the exterior of my main corvette pretty pleased with my current setup.

[potent arch]

looks sick

[fair pilot]

I'm often hanging in the Corvettes & Coffee central hab system

[crude oasis]

no idea what a corvette like this would be called, or if there are any real world equivalents (I know it looks bad sorry (not the finished design)

[chrome swallow]

Tríaina

(greek for trident)

[crude oasis]

thank you so much lol

[chrome swallow]

Midnight Trident if you want an english name

[crude oasis]

it's fine lol

[analog socket]

ok I need some help

so I’ve had landing legs on my corvette for a while, went to change them to another landing gear but when I did it told me they weren’t connected

which is odd, because I put them in the same spot
also they were under a reactor which I think might be an issue? it wasn’t with the other landing gear though

nevermind, I just moved the reactors back a tile each and that helped

[icy kraken]

is it possible to save corvette designs or no?

[fervent garden]

what the hell is corvette

is it like the Corvette car?

[icy kraken]

[lost moss]

what do you mean by save

in this case

[icy kraken]

As in can you save them for later to apply to a new corvette or such, or to paste over another corvette's design

Or does each one need to be individually built

[lost moss]

It's a ship that you can build yourself in NMS

The naming refers to a type of small naval warship, which the car is named after. In sci-fi, it's often used to refer to a small space warship

[fervent garden]

didn't we already have ship building before?

what's different this time

[viral kelp]

not sure why everyone is struggling with this question, I am curious about this to.

[lost moss]

These are habitable ships that you build, similar to a flying base

[lost moss]

You cannot do this no

[fervent garden]

they're big as the freighter?

[lost moss]

Much smaller than a freighter, but unlike a freighter you can pilot it like a normal starship

it fulfills a hybrid role, between a small starship and a freighter

[fervent garden]

i have a mod that can make me fly the freighter normally

it's pretty fun

[lost moss]

Can you land the freighter on a planet with that mod?

[fervent garden]

I'm on a very old version of this game though

[fervent garden]

there is a limit

you can get soo close though

[lost moss]

Corvettes can land on planets, though they don't really have to as they can stay hovering and you can beam down to the surface

[tight plover]

We had shipbuilding in a previous update but it wasn’t really shipbuilding. The old system was that you’d scrap or find starship parts, put them in a fabrication terminal with a class core and you got the thing.

Corvettes are basically buildable starships; think your fighter but an actual living place you can expand freely and design how you like within the complexity limit, that you can land on planets and hover over them

[fervent garden]

that's soo cool

I'm gonna need to try them

[lost moss]

Some people come up with wild designs for them. Advanced building techniques, including glitches, allow even more flexibility

[fervent garden]

although not sure how the update will affect my titan-class capital freighter

[tight plover]

Yeah… you might want to backup your save

Before you update, as since you are on a very old version, the mod is very likely to break

[fervent garden]

it definitely will

the author died after all...

[icy kraken]

I love the corvettes, and will most likely never go back to previous ships

[fervent garden]

god rest his soul

[tight plover]

Ah, rest in peace to the author 🫡

[fervent garden]

i love my gold vector

nothing will replace it

[tight plover]

How old of a version are you playing on btw? Just curious

[fervent garden]

it's from 2022 or 23 i forgot really

[tight plover]

👀

2022 was around the time I joined, and I have to be real

You are in for a treat

[fervent garden]

i bought the game at launch

it was soo bad

compared to now

[tight plover]

If you update you’ll get all the latest features, including the graphical overhauls and everything. I was going to say if you haven’t tried out the newer versions before, there are a lot of differences

[fervent garden]

yeah It didn't

abandoned the game for a few years

[tight plover]

Fair enough. But seriously, I’d honestly recommend starting a new game save with all the up to date features to try it out, because there will be a lot of differences to what you will recognise

[fervent garden]

i can't i built a base on a very rare conjoined planet

i will lose it

[tight plover]

Ah

[fervent garden]

even if the save file breaks i can at least copy the planet and base to the new save file

[tight plover]

Good point

[graceful sky]

Hey so, I started building my first corvette and just finished it, however it wont let me actually enter it, all I can do is raise and lower the entry ramp

Ramp is connected to the hab, landing gear is under the hab, not sure what I did wrong

[coral marsh]

Have you tried walking up the ramp? Have you tried deleting the hab (and any ladders or stuff inside it, and replacing it?

[buoyant turtle]

can you show us a screenshot from the pov of the ramp

like a backside screenshot

[icy kraken]

Which ship do y'all think looks cooler, this industrial cargo ship (A) or this industrial mining ship (B)

[lost moss]

A is cooler imo

[graceful sky]

I, was dumb and forgot about a module I had placed down right behind the hab

[lost moss]

womp womp

[tepid arrow]

I wish there was more flexilbilityt for habs
Wider habs that can be used as rooms or similar

[icy kraken]

Agreed

[raven rover]

for now, if yall want wider habs. try making an open floor plan vette

theyre pretty easy to do

[grand bobcat]

Can anyone make this clip of my character sitting on my corvette ship a meme, please?

I'll go first:
Me when I don't know what to do with my life

[simple flower]

Me sitting on the couch after genuinely forgetting I have a microwaved burrito waiting for me

[grand bobcat]

😂

[rustic bloom]

Rate from 0 to 10

[graceful verge]

Easily a 9

Not even the Millennium Falcon can scratch that

[rustic bloom]

The ks

[pseudo ember]

Oh okay 👌🏼

[fair pilot]

Trying to play with different colours.

[cold ruin]

which ship do you guys prefer

[fair pilot]

One that you like more.

[cold ruin]

brah

[latent parrot]

both look great, I would probably go with the 2nd, where is the cockpit?

[cold ruin]

underneath

[latent parrot]

ok, so it's not surrounded by parts like in other builds I've seen

Then yeah, 2nd

[buoyant turtle]

im learnign how to offset build

i understand the general idea

i just dont know how to apply it

[slim trail]

i made yet another corvette, if you think the ship looks very outdated, good, thats the design feel i was trying to achieve, the theme behind it is that the ship is a civilian research corvette thats old but not obselite

[graceful portal]

My personal fighter with 6000 maneuverability and 6 turrets with high damage output

[buoyant turtle]

first time utilising offset building, i think its going along well

[cold ruin]

i love the engine design though

[lunar eagle]

Not in-game, no. On PC, you can export them to external tools to save them that way, copy them to another slot, or just archive them if you have more than 12 designs you want to preserve.

[lunar eagle]

Now all I need are some friends...

[lunar eagle]

Mostly it's about positioning. Like, "this part looks OK here, but it would look better if it was just a LITTLE forward." Or if you want something half a hab wide like Vesper Aerofoils or Fuel Covers centered on top of a hab, but it only lets you face them the wrong way, etc.

[buoyant turtle]

check #nms-showcase-corvettes

i wanna know ur opinion

on that

[lunar eagle]

For thelatter, you put habe half a space out, put down the parts where you want them, then delete them

[lunar eagle]

It's a nice, simple design. Good starter. You need to delete the extra walkways/habs you used to offset the parts if you want to get into the cockpit. 1/2 step building requires you to add and delete a lot of "scaffolding" parts like that as you build.

[lunar eagle]

You can always put them back later if you need them to place another part

[buoyant turtle]

i'd have to dismantle the whole thing 😭

[lunar eagle]

no you don't

if you move the cockpit, you can probably see the ends of all the habs

delete all of them, then just add the ones you need (or pick the right ones to delete)

[buoyant turtle]

right

okay

thank you

[lunar eagle]

then put the cockpit back on

[buoyant turtle]

ill be learning other techniques anyway so ill build another corvette

[lunar eagle]

you will learn great camera control as you squeeze it under and around stuff you build in order to select the right part to delete.

sometimes you need ot change it to a different angle to get it to snap to the right part, too

it all comes with experience and practice

Also, sometimes parts don't want to snap to a part they should, and you need to pop down a walkway or two so you can place the part in the right spot. You will learn how to do all this stuff eventually.

[north jetty]

holy 2nd ship is amazing how did u get that wings please tell me

[opaque rock]

On corvettes, is it possible to allow others on your ships (friends for example) to man and fire weapons?

[buoyant turtle]

no

[jaunty mural]

Only the pilot can

[chrome swallow]

I hope they add more slender corvette parts, a lot of vanilla ones look really bulky

[buoyant turtle]

@lunar eagle after a lot of troubleshooting, i can confidently say that despite the ship's size i can only access like 10% of it

cant even drive it in 1st person either hooray

[lunar eagle]

The cockpit is in the middle of the ship and there is a hab in front of it

[buoyant turtle]

no its at the front and there is a thingy infront of it

i put it there on purpose

i didnt like how the cockpit looked

[lunar eagle]

can you show some more angles?

[buoyant turtle]

okay

[lunar eagle]

change the color to a brighter non metallic one temporarily too

or fly outside to take pics

orherwise it's too dark to see anything well in a station

[buoyant turtle]

better?

[lunar eagle]

the bottom view and second are good

ok so it looks liek you have cockpit -> hab -> landing bay

[buoyant turtle]

yup

rest is decorative

[lunar eagle]

it also looks like you have the cockpit half-stepped back into the hab

[buoyant turtle]

yes

[lunar eagle]

I would not really recommend that, but do what you like.

internal space connections you should try not to step glitch IMHO

Anyway, it looks liek you have the right amount of space for how its built

If you want to access the habs at the back, you need a second landing bay

you can make those face forward, btw

[buoyant turtle]

my main issue is that the cockpits just dont look good on their own

[lunar eagle]

so you could put it right behinf the reactor and the other one

[buoyant turtle]

like here?

[lunar eagle]

I agree, which is kinda why the cockpits for all my builds tend to look the same

[lunar eagle]

yeah, connected to one of the habs in the back

replace one of the fairings

[still hill]

tiny build I did. 2 habs. called the PANICKING_SCALLOP

[buoyant turtle]

theres levels to this shit

damn

cant even find your cockpit lmao

[lunar eagle]

Also, if you want to hide the reactor, half-step it into deco pieces, not habs

[buoyant turtle]

in the first picture*

[buoyant turtle]

okay

[buoyant turtle]

alright ill do that

my main issue is that

i cant flip the ship for better viewing

its so painful going under

[lunar eagle]

towards the back, on that one. They are all the same kind with a sort of shroud on top.

[lost moss]

yeah I don't like half-stepping into habs, just sacrifices usable space

[buoyant turtle]

oh yeah found it

[lunar eagle]

My latest build uses an Ambassador tucked underneath, with a fake cockpit on top

andf the transformed vesion has it tucked behind the chest plates with a narrow gap to see through. If you zoom in you can see it just under the head

You just need to get creative. You will learn as you build more and more Corvettes

[lost moss]

tiny

[fair pilot]

I stuck with the name choice, could you help please?

I wanted to use something related to mythical creature or spear/lance weapons.

Spear of Heaven? Voidlance?

[raven rover]

gungnir

odin's spear

[lunar eagle]

Those really do not fit. The latter especially lends to a very long, angular Atlas build for example.

[fair pilot]

Too obvious.

Hlidskjalf?

Throne of Odin.

[fair pilot]

It fits the Elite's idea of snakes tho

Krait, Fer-de-Lance

[lunar eagle]

Stjernekjemper, Stjernelanse, Reiselyst

pick a language, go to google translate, and play around 😛

That's how I got my Schwerer Angriffkrabbe Mk.II name for the crab mech (Heavy Assault Crab)

My Sentinel Interceptor is Weiss Panzer, because it's white with tank legs.

[dark juniper]

Thinking of removing the missiles with this since they look a lil wacky

[lunar eagle]

But that is a chill little yacht, not a star destroyer, so I'd go with a name along those lines

[fair pilot]

drop them

and keep 3 photon cannons if you want to save parts

[fair pilot]

It's rather a long range all-purpose vessel. Pretty heavily armed.

[lost moss]

If you want to keep them for combat, you could half-step or otherwise clip them inside of larger parts - I do this routinely with micro builds where I want to still pack a big firepower punch

[lunar eagle]

I'm talking about the vibe.

[fair pilot]

Ah I c

Well, for me it's still kinda futuristic recon vessel 😄

Not yacht

[buoyant turtle]

@lunar eagle i did what you told me now i should do the glitch thing so that i can turn the landing bay right?

[dark juniper]

Made a compromise that's way better imo

[magic tide]

WHY IS MY CORVETT BURNING!!!

[dark juniper]

planet that has fire on it

[buoyant turtle]

chat i need someone's opinion on something

[fossil sparrow]

Does anyone know the parts used for the corvette in the Swarm update page?

[buoyant turtle]

well not an opinion but help on something

[buoyant turtle]

looks like ambassador heavy boosters

[fair pilot]

Easily reproducible.

[tropic badger]

unlike the corvette on the voyagers update banner that wasn't even made of corvette parts

[raven rover]

ambassador heavy boosters, ambassador landing bay, industrial cargo link, arcadia wing module, medusa reactor

thats the visible parts

[buoyant turtle]

made some changes in order to have more space, idk if i should keep the propellers or not

[raven rover]

and i think the photon turret

[lunar eagle]

you don;t need to glitch the landing bay, just rotate it with E when you are placing it

[buoyant turtle]

oh

[lunar eagle]

attach it to the hab in the back section

sweet, the new update made it to Steam finally

[buoyant turtle]

well now i have a flipped walkway

[lunar eagle]

those are useful, but you don;t need it for this

[buoyant turtle]

yeah should have known that before i did it

no matter

maybe itll give me more room to customize my ship

from the outside

[lunar eagle]

yeah you can mount wings backwards on them

[buoyant turtle]

yup

and thrusters

and cockpits

[fossil sparrow]

Thank you!

[rapid drift]

How necessary are guns on a corvette? I was thinking of making a new save for a "science expedition" type run, low amount of fighting, and just exploring and documenting stuff

[buoyant turtle]

you need atleast one gun for ur corvette to be useful

[rapid drift]

Ah okay

[buoyant turtle]

doesnt matter which type

[rapid drift]

Oh ok cool

[buoyant turtle]

(by useful i mean like, useable)

[rapid drift]

Hoping to get friends to do this with me so a corvette was the only option lol

[buoyant turtle]

like it physically wont let you save without it

[rapid drift]

Ohh ok

Thanks 👍

[buoyant turtle]

np

[fair pilot]

As was said already, at least one gun is required. Best way to slape the single photon cannon - keep 1 less tech slot occupied, because photon cannon is forced into the corvette by default.

[lunar eagle]

Knocked out the third transformation for my transforming Corvette

[tired plover]

so is there no way to prevent this from happening when trying to build with rockhoppers? the flipping just doesn't work

[true rain]

If I completely rebuild my current corvette, will the rebuilt one retain upgrades? Ship inventory/tech slots

[fair pilot]

This part just not flippable. You place one more hopper propeller module and then short wing instead

Rockhopper Propeller Module, Rockhopper Fin Module.

[chrome swallow]

Man I hope they add some roof texturing parts your design is so cool

[chrome swallow]

Is the first one edited?

[true rain]

Played around with half steps some more and got things in all sorts of places they shouldn’t be, lol. How does it look?

Got the reactor hidden too

[lost moss]

getting spicier

[true rain]

Is spicier good?

lol

[lost moss]

ye

[true rain]

So, to play around I made a new corvette. If I go back to my current one and completely change it will it keep class, inventory, and tech?

[glass kayak]

did they nerf maneuverability on corvettes? i just noticed i have less before the update

[sterile owl]

Does it transform when you land?

[buoyant turtle]

thank you dude

[lost moss]

It doesn't hurt to double check if your tech modules got scrambled, sometimes corvette tech modules are buggy like that

[fading moon]

theres 2 versions of rotation
do neither of them work?

and rockhopper sounds like an exocraft ngl

[lost moss]

Yes, though it's possible that inventory size may change slightly since habs contribute to that

[lunar eagle]

It's a 1/4 step (to sides) build. The only part that was not done in station is that I adjusted the top of the front end to tilt it down a bit and set it right in line with the Ambassador Heavies on the sides.

[lunar eagle]

No, it's three separate Corvettes, one for each transformation.

[chrome swallow]

oh cool, i love vanilla builds

[abstract depot]

I stopped playing shortly before the recycling expedition; did we get new Corvette colors or parts?

[karmic halo]

Very first attempt at a corvette! Tried my best to make it look like Luthen’s Haulcraft from ANDOR, one of my favorite ships. I’ll try to make it look more and more like the actual haulcraft as I go

[true rain]

Okay I think this is the final edit. Only one hab in the whole thing.

Somehow got shield modules shoved into a radiator piece and completely invisible

[charred shard]

what is the easiest way to make a cool corvette do i just use creative

[true rain]

That’s probably the easiest

Idk if the videos are pinned but there are some helpful videos on manipulating the grid system corvette building uses

Sent from @lost moss

[obtuse solar]

Where are the corvette autocannons and gunner turrets? You can only shoot infront of you all you do with them in multiplayer is walk around. The combat could use an update too sorry for the complaint but this would be awesome okay bye

[buoyant turtle]

bro ima need u to teach me how to build the first one cuz wtf lmao

i can figure out some of the parts you used

atleast on the outside

[lunar eagle]

You need a mod, or glitch technique, that lets you rotate habs/walkways on the X and Y axis (normally it's only around the Z)

A few parts -- the Ambassador HTs in the front, and small wings (Speedbird Diffusers) going through the thrusters at the back use a ~45º angle hab to place them like that

I am on PC and use the Beyond Base Building mod

Though I also used the external Base Builder app to tweak a few parts in the front to make it cleaner. You can also use Blender

My latest build(s), the VF-1S Valkyrie from Macross, the robot and semi-robot transformations were done in Blender.

You should be able to build the jet version in station with a mod.

but my advice

Build using half steps until you get good at putting parts in hard-to-reach places. Then learn how to set up a 1/4 grid at the start of a new build and preserve it.

Nothing beats just placing parts for hours -- you will eventually get pretty skilled at it and will learn what parts match well with others

[buoyant turtle]

alright

thank you

[buoyant turtle]

blender 😨

there IS levels to ts

mfs using blender to build ships

[polar steeple]

Hello, i need the areon parts for the corvette, can anyone help me please? I just started playing recently and I can t get them from the quicksilver shop

[glass surge]

Check my message from here #nms-corvette-discussion message

[lunar eagle]

If you go dig into the save file, you will find that Corvettes are considered "bases". They are also defined by a list of parts with an identifier, and then position, scale, and rotation data. You COULD technically hand-code a corvette. Blender just allows you to do some things that the HG devs deliberately left out of the Corvette Workshop, to make it more game-friendly.

Parts snap to a grid, and most are not resizeable. And the rotation possibilities are limited

[cunning shard]

im shocked
i wonder how far can one push the non blender type for corvettes
i like in game, how far can we go before we gotta use mods

[unkempt flower]

Mine Benatar inspired corvette.Wings idea from Damiangaming yt.

[quiet sparrow]

we need more like, rounded corvette parts, and different cockpits. D:
I wanted to make the Rustbucket from Ben10, but ive no idea how to with currently available parts.

[gusty forge]

That would be SUCH a cool corvette

[quiet sparrow]

right?

it's borderline impossible with the pieces currently available tho.

at the very least, need a better cockpit.

[gusty forge]

Also, We taking vanilla rust bucket or tricked out rust bucket with all the plumber tech

[quiet sparrow]

hmmm, i was kinda thinking the basic, but then id coat it in tech similar to when it goes weaponmode in the show.

[gusty forge]

Niice

[quiet sparrow]

absolutely no idea how to do it tho. @_@

[gusty forge]

I’d say ask around in some builder discords I bet they could make it in blender just specify you want it under 1k parts and no bigger than the space station build box to make sure it’s useable post swarm update

[quiet sparrow]

oh, hm. ill have to look into that ty! o7

[safe trout]

I need more sleek looking pieces so I can build the Normandy from mass effect

[quiet sparrow]

yeeeee, we need more parts so we can build stuff without coating it in a 3-layer shell just to get it to look right.

[safe trout]

Or something like this would be so cool

I'm really surprised they haven't added more corvette parts honestly

I was out of the game when they added them in the first place (hi I've only had functional wifi for about a year) and when I learned about them I just figured it was something they regularly added to

[quiet sparrow]

honestly, the devs seem to have this weird way of adding content where theyll add a cool new mechanic...and then do absolutely nothing else beyond the basic release with it.

[safe trout]

Yeahh

[quiet sparrow]

like im thankful for all the cool mechanics, but...they need to consider slowing down, and expanding what we already have.

[safe trout]

I'd love to see more ship types, not just corvettes too

Or like let us customize our frigates/freighters

[quiet sparrow]

omg, absolutely

[safe trout]

-# if there is something like that for the freighters lemme know

[quiet sparrow]

custom freighters would be nuts.

[safe trout]

-# Aside from bases

[safe trout]

Like even just being able to pick what parts like the current ship system would be cool

[quiet sparrow]

yeeeee

[safe trout]

I think a corvette overhaul/add-on would go sick with a pirate expansion or expedition too

[quiet sparrow]

absolutely

[quiet sparrow]

...soooooo. i started screwing around in the corvette maker at random.

Oh god its built like the "DAYUMMMMM" bird

[lost moss]

iirc they don't work in vanilla

[rustic bloom]

What's the point of corvettes with friends, if we dont have any interactive features

[terse linden]

Buff no man's sky groups to 10

[lost moss]

That's not a question I can really answer lol

[main widget]

hey guys, what are the stats of your corvettes? Anyone can show me a picture of the 4 stats and damage of the main-weapons? Just need it to compare

[lost moss]

For Phase Beams, it's worth noting that the damage numbers displayed in the stats when hovering over are super incorrect

[main widget]

Thats mine currently

[lost moss]

my Phase Beams only do like "6-7k DPS" depending on the corvette (I have multiple), but in practice can do over 25k per damage tick

[main widget]

So I guess from the DPS its already good what I got there?

[lunar eagle]

You could build something close to that pretty easily, even in Vanilla with no mods

[lost moss]

Honestly I don't use the Infra-Knife and Cyclotron Ballista so I have no perspective on what numbers are "good" or not, or if it even really matters

as far as the regular stats of the corvette, they could definitely be better

do you have good tech module upgrades with adjacency bonuses all set up?

[main widget]

currently trying to change the S ones with black market modules but its hard to find good ones

[main widget]

alright better now XD

I forgot to build the Q-Resonator on my corvette...

behold the stupidity of the Phase Beam @main widget

and this is with quite a suboptimal setup too :P

[main widget]

damn thats strong. I will test my weapon now and maybe consider to switch to phase beam

[buoyant turtle]

@lunar eagle i've learned how to build at a 90 degree angle i just dont have any ideas to utilize it right now

this sucks

i wanna build something so that the steps to make 90 degrees stays in my head and i dont forget it but i dont know what to build or how to start

chat is this a perfect 90 degree angle

i might be the goat???

[lunar eagle]

I am not sure if it's the mod I use, but if I have a walkway attached to a window, I can select the walkway and rotate it to any of the four sides

as long as it is not snapping to something else

[buoyant turtle]

well the way i did it is using zenith class reactors

and a window

[lunar eagle]

try this

[buoyant turtle]

followed the exact steps of the tutorial listed here

[lunar eagle]

I use Zeniths to set up 45º angles mostly

but they are great for making sure you are standing in an exact spot for alignment

[buoyant turtle]

yeah

[lunar eagle]

I need to build a Corvette sometime in the next week for the illuminated theme for Corvettes and Coffee...

Need to think of something good though

[buoyant turtle]

im really trying to get ideas

im just placing stuff down seeing if something pops up

[lunar eagle]

I am leaning towards something liek the advertising blimp from Bladerunner

[buoyant turtle]

how are you gonna recreate the screen

or even galaxy destroyer

[fair pilot]

What are you compensating for?

[tough spoke]

My evac med ship I made yesterday!!!

Took it with my phone idk why

[raven geyser]

Nothing, i would like test the capacity of this mod

[fair pilot]

Just joking, sorry 😅

[fair pilot]

Just in case - command + control + shift + 3 gives you screenshot which you can paste into the chat.

Visibility ain't good in anomaly and on the photo of the screen 🙁

[tough spoke]

Thanks for the tip!!👍

[fair pilot]

Sure! 🙂

And command + control + shift + 4 gives you scissors to screenshot part of the screen.

Without control - it just saves the screenshots somewhere.

[tough spoke]

Ah ok thanks again!!!

[shadow sedge]

I want more rooms

And overall more parts

[fair pilot]

First what we do need is flat hub cover, more cockpits and sideways landing pads without using 3rd party apps, shitty mods on mad glitches.

[astral lodge]

hi

how can i fast earn for corvette

[pliant falcon]

Heyo, i hadnt played in a while but got a spontaneous urge to toy around with corvettes again, do they still struggle with vfx glitches (like having the vfx for weapons originate from all turrets rather than only the turrets that correspond to the weapon type)

[lunar eagle]

WIP on a cyberpunk advertising airship build, liek the one in Blade Runner. It's gonna be an open concept and well-lit inside for an "illuminated" theme for C&C in a couple weeks.

Also this mod that brightens up the Corvette build area is AWESOME

[glass surge]

vfx for weapons is still limited and will only animated from a max of 6 weapons; depending on the type they'll all fire at one or each turret separately

I have a corvette with 6 phase beams and it animates all when firing but on a different save with a different corvette it animates 6 phase beams at one with mixed turrets types but with 6 photon turrets it'll animate a max of 6 of those photon turrets but one after another.

If you're on PC you can just mod the game so you can animate more things depending upon how beefy of a PC you have

[remote walrus]

interiors need more love (better building hitboxes would help too)

[main kelp]

that looks good

but yeah we need more parts, short range teleporters working, doors to the outside of the hab. 👼

[remote walrus]

the mods that allow for placement outside of where stuff should normally be are really useful though, that desk is a freighter planet scanner btw

also a better third person camera in the corvette would be nice

[charred mesa]

how do you guys start building corvettes? i'd like to build one but i have no idea what parts to start with or what to do

[fair pilot]

You can buy basic parts at the corvette shop near corvette pad, then build basic corvette using these parts.

[charred mesa]

yeah i know, i just am lost for how to start building a nice corvette with parts besides the basic ones, but i'll figure it out

[lost moss]

watch tutorials, practice, experiment, and be patient

Most people don't start off making amazing corvettes on their own

[fair pilot]

Build basic, use it to farm parts.

You can mine the corvette parts from the corvette without landing, thanks to autopilot.

[olive dust]

Please do.;

[lunar eagle]

wBeen working on it today actually 😛

[lost moss]

ok that's awesome

[lunar eagle]

Still needs a bunch of hanging cables, lights, and decals on the outside

then I'll deck out the interior like a pleasure barge or something

some more angles

[raven geyser]

hum sorry my bad it was me :):):) 🤣

[jaunty mural]

nah man
that's corvette linguini

[twilit crescent]

looked like a human bone for a second

[eternal wind]

Question. are there any glitches that allow you to scale parts past the scaling limit at the moment

i'm building a replica of the UESC Marathon and would love it if i didn't have to make the moon-not-moon it's embedded in out of indivudual ruin props, i'd rather do it with a Wonder Projector but it's not nearly large enough at its natural scale limit

[buoyant turtle]

mf built this much in a day and im still over here trying to squeeze my head for ideas

built this so far and i wanna expand on it i just dont know what to do

[eternal wind]

with the scale you're building at here you might wanna look into offset building techniques

[buoyant turtle]

i know how to offset

matter fact the big engines are offset

they're half a grid lower than usual

[eternal wind]

build something on top of them perhaps?

also don't forget that you're gonna have to cram all your reactors and weapons systems into that space

[buoyant turtle]

future problems are for future me

like the 1 braincell i have left is scrambling to make something of this front

[elfin iris]

this is my newest corvette the void incursion what u guys think?

[buoyant turtle]

@lunar eagle i tried copying your cockpit lol

[graceful sky]

@torn dune Thats what I'm rocking currently

[torn dune]

oooo

i should make a small compact one too

[buoyant turtle]

put my little spin on it though(mainly because i cant copy it 1 to 1), thats an engine in the back too i genuinely had a braingasm when i thought of it

[glass surge]

This is Rasmus Poulsen he's a concept designer for video games and has a interesting youtube channel if you want to watch videos on sci-fi ships and design to inspire your corvette

There are no direct NMS videos but i'm linking this if you want to watch for design inspiration, ideas etc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RWFpkp5_dY

[lunar eagle]

Gettng there, but I need a brighter point light source than the emergency light...

[buoyant turtle]

tsunami

i have been waiting on you to wake up

[lunar eagle]

?

I saw you posts about the cockpit. Nice job

[buoyant turtle]

where does one go from here

[buoyant turtle]

thank you

[lunar eagle]

If you want to do it exactly, you need a 1/4 grid, I use Speedbird Diffusers overlapping slightly,

[buoyant turtle]

nah im lowkey happy with my simpler design

its not that bad

[lunar eagle]

the Two Diffusers are each 1/4 off the center hab, so they overhang a small amount, And they are usually 1/2 step back so they are more or less even with the cockpit

[buoyant turtle]

noted

trying to see what i could do in the back with a 45 degree angle

if nothing comes to mind ill try next with a 90 degree angle

[buoyant turtle]

@lunar eagle i need your help with something

right now i wanna offset this cowling so that it ends right when the wings end

thing is i cant seem to get the right angle for my rockhopper propeller

found a solution but idk i dont like the way it looks

[buoyant turtle]

thats sick

[lunar eagle]

Often, what you have to do is build a walkway or two out into the open, do the offset there, then build back to the spot you need it using the new offset part.

[buoyant turtle]

i have an issue

the back

is of the ship

is my issue

i cant fit a landing bay without sacrificing aesthetics and looks

[crude oasis]

I have no clue what's wrong with my corvette, but something's just off about it. It feels mildly like an inbred transformer or something

[sour pier]

Looks ok to me

[glass surge]

in general it's hard to pull off long designs even modded because it becomes easy to spot the repeated pieces and becomes visually noisy

[crude oasis]

that's probably the case

[marsh venture]

you can make it look good, you just have to play with placement and parts alot

[blazing hinge]

My new sentinel Corvette. Updated the old build

[north jetty]

guys how to open free cam in normal build mode

[north jetty]

like for corvette

this tab]

[eternal pumice]

Uhh, there is a key for it. I think it says in your key binds

[lost moss]

Decided to try my hand at making a spiky Aeron ball micro that I don't hate looking at @tawdry field

Might want to replace the Widebody thruster with a Firebox one for a bit more of that square engined Sentinel interceptor vibe

[main kelp]

very sexy

[lost moss]

yeah the Firebox thruster is better looking imo, will take updated pics

or at least one of the back

This is built around a single 1x1x1 walkway, so despite the surface area I'd still consider it a "micro"

[dark juniper]

You cannot do this when editing the interior of a corvette

[loud hatch]

have they added any new parts since this update came out

and will they add more?

[lunar eagle]

One of the nicer Aeron builds I have seen. I normally hate them.

[lunar eagle]

YOu can't. Best you can do it switch to first person view before going into build mode.

[lost moss]

The Aeron pieces are mostly quite large and, imo, fairly difficult to use well. Definitely found it challenging to get shaping that I liked

thinking of maybe quarter-stepping the front Aeron blades forward to try and align them better with the rear ones

[hollow lotus]

aeron parts probably would be easier to incorporate into corvettes if they were wee bit more colorable

[lost moss]

yeah the color limitations are also an issue

[lunar eagle]

The thing is, they do not generally match well with other parts. I have used Aeron parts in exactly two builds -- I used the Drive for the head of my Battroid mode Valkyrie, and I used the Diffuser/Cowling on another, but only the very top pokes out on that one, it's more for the stripe it creates.

[hollow lotus]

shapes are neat, fitting em into style aint so neat

[lost moss]

and the constant glowy red bits

they are very specific and fairly inflexible

[lunar eagle]

This is the biggest issue for me. And the floating red balls

Most of my builds are Black and White anyway, so they could technically fit if not for the red lines that match nothign else on the ship

So I think of Aeron parts as all-or-nothing usually.

If they conformed to the 2-tone scheme of everything else and were changeable, they'd be a lot more useful

[eternal wind]

are there any glitches that allow parts to be scaled up past the normal limit?

currently messing around with wonder projectors but i've found the intended maximum size is not nearly enough for what i'm trying to do

[warped nova]

Recently finished/almost finished my first corvette, a 12 deck Trek style vessel, designed for deep space exploration.

I’ve had a browse through the communities tab, couldn’t find quite what I’m after.
Does anyone know of a ‘United Federation of Travellers’ community where players who have built trek style federation style corvettes can convalesce and i can find players like me who just kind of like looking at the pretty animals and scanning 12 types of mineral that all look identical?

[warped nova]

I have heard of a glitch where you can resize things, something to do with making the object in a normal base, then picking it up and moving it to your corvette, but I don’t know the specifics. It was something i saw on reddit, but i don’t have a link apologies

[lost moss]

also I think I'll continue to use that structure of the Aeron winglet + the two half-stepped Supercruise foils

it kinda has a "bird of prey" head look

with the red glowing lines of the winglet being split up by the foils, making them look like eyes

I was messing around with stuff, and the structure naturally appeared as I was trying to get the shaping down, and I was like "oh that actually looks kinda good"

[warped nova]

Forgot to say, I really like this.

[lost moss]

Second one looks better imo, first one's got too much Aeron Blade spam for my liking

[north jetty]

can u please show the back of the second red ship please?

[quartz frigate]

Does anyone know how to get the aeron part ?

[lost moss]

ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

once you get one of each, you can make more of them

[haughty wyvern]

This is some of the parts I need

Does anyone wanna help

@main knoll

[lost moss]

Ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades or look for planets with salvageable scrap

[haughty wyvern]

Does the symbol need to be yellow or?

[lost moss]

What symbol, you mean in the analysis visor?

Yes if so.

[haughty wyvern]

The WiFi signal

[lost moss]

Yeah

It needs to be yellow

Not all planets have salvageable scrap, so make sure the one you are searching has it

Even if you do not find all the parts you need, you can use parts you find to barter for other parts at the corvette workshop

[main knoll]

i only have the energy sheild

[buoyant turtle]

one of the ideas that popped up in my head while making the back, idk it still doesnt feel right

do i just expand the back into a bigger area or do i close it off

also i was thinking about doing something in the front (these are just placeholders) but i dont have any idea

[spiral prism]

Kinda prefer it without them

[buoyant turtle]

meh

[buoyant turtle]

well so do i but i wanna see the limits of my building capacity

[spiral prism]

Understood

[buoyant turtle]

im thinking of offsetting the wings down by half a grid then putting a 180 walkway and putting the same set of wings, just rotated 180 degrees to complete the look (the walkway will be deleted afterwards)

something is missing...

[buoyant turtle]

(other than the incomplete left half)

[spiral prism]

With all the curves on the main ship body, straight outriggers on the side seem to mess with the overall harmony

But just my thought

[buoyant turtle]

like that then

still feel like something's missing...

[spiral prism]

Maybe you are reacting to its flat profile. Maybe some vertical elements?

[buoyant turtle]

meh, not it

[buoyant turtle]

what do you suggest i do

to give it a vertical element

do i need to flip a hab on the Y axis and test some parts there?

you reckon that would work?

[spiral prism]

I need to look at parts in my game for ideas. Having trouble remembering names

[buoyant turtle]

okay

[spiral prism]

Are all the reactors hidden in the body?

[buoyant turtle]

i only have one reactor for this ship so far but yes

its hidden

somewhere in the middle

there it is

[eternal wind]

thing is, that one's for resizing un-resizable parts, not circumventing the size limit itself. which is what i'm trying to figure out how to do

[haughty wyvern]

I could probably use that

[spiral prism]

Without loading my game I would say add more reactors and find a way to integrate them vertically into the design. they will add more light and movement to the design while adding more functionality

[buoyant turtle]

it would take you 30 to 50 minutes to grind scavenger crates to get all these parts lol

[buoyant turtle]

thats a heavy ask

i dont like how the reactors look

[spiral prism]

building around them to make them look good may lead to a happy design accident

[buoyant turtle]

i dont know how to build around them

💔

whats that part that people use

to make a lazer type look

[lost moss]

A what?

[buoyant turtle]

laser

like i saw a build

[lost moss]

What's a "laser type look"

[buoyant turtle]

let me draw what i mean

because im thinking of doing something similiar

excuse my handwriting

[spiral prism]

are they using mods to build power lines as design elements?

not sure what it could be without seeing a screenshot example

[buoyant turtle]

no idea

[buoyant turtle]

i dont have a screenshot unfortunately

but scrap the laser idea

would the circle even integrate well

[lost moss]

Yeah I don't really understand even with the picture

[buoyant turtle]

with the ship

[buoyant turtle]

💔

[lost moss]

I think a circle could work, maybe bigger than the one you drew

[buoyant turtle]

i probably have like 30 to 40 space left

[spiral prism]

the laser would just lengthen it, not add more depth

how many engines on this ship?

[buoyant turtle]

uhhh

probably like

3

i also dont like how the back looks

[buoyant turtle]

i dont remember if i added more tho

[buoyant turtle]

i could probably do the circle in the back instead of the front

[spiral prism]

because adding larger engines on top will add some color and movement too

[buoyant turtle]

ehhh

maybe more ambassador heavy boosters?

nope

tried integrating reactors, has a charm but i dont think it fits

i offset some 2 arcadia heavy boosters, is this the vertical element you were talking about?

[buoyant turtle]

@spiral prism

[warped nova]

Oh, in that case. Don’t know about glitches, but i used three mods personally; ‘No complexity Limit’, ‘colossal corvette build area’ and ‘Z camera corvette’ all on nexus. If you are on PC, that should work - haven’t had a chance to test them since the swarm update though.
If you’re on console, I don’t know though…

No complexity Limit:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3701?tab=posts

Colossal Build Area:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3835

zcamera corvette:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3727

[buoyant turtle]

what does the zcamerra corvette mod do

[warped nova]

Moves the camera further back so you can see more of your ship/further.
on mine, i couldn’t see past the saucer section, now i get a fairly decent view of the fuselage and nacelles.
Can be edited as well, to suit your preference.

[buoyant turtle]

ohhh

thats cool

i plan on fiddling with mods and game files once i finish this god forsaken corvette

[warped nova]

I hear you, don’t get me started on my Skyrim build

[buoyant turtle]

like, it looks good but it looks so unfinished, the front is lacking imo and i dont even like how to back looks

[spiral prism]

Not as sexy as yours, but maybe some idea as to what I mean

[lost moss]

yeah, some verticality can add a lot to a ship

here's an early alpha of one of my builds and it's just like... a big pizza slice

even though it has some verticality, the proportions are still too flat for what I was going for

making it narrower went a long way, but making it taller could've also worked

[buoyant turtle]

sick corvette

i get what you mean

its just that i cant exactly execute it

ill continue this later i took a break for now

[buoyant turtle]

right

[lost moss]

or adding some ups and downs

[late finch]

Here's my Corvette the V-56 Venerator

[spiral prism]

Lives up to the name

[solemn bay]

is there somewhere/somehow I can import a corvette design? I suck at designing my own lol and I don't mean those super obnoxious blender monstrosities

[buoyant turtle]

no man's app

[solemn bay]

o:

ty! :D

[eternal wind]

i figured it out. i might have to edit the corvette a bunch to fit it inside the hull but at least it's there now

[buoyant turtle]

what are you cooking

[eternal wind]

not gonna be making it any larger because that'd make the projector part itself way too obvious

[eternal wind]

trying to replicate the UESC Marathon

the proportions are gonna be off because the size of the projector itself is too large but it's going to Exist at least

[buoyant turtle]

goodluck with that

look like an insane build

[solemn bay]

with this delivery, do I have to be aboard the nexus? A little confused on that part

[sly berry]

Hey, haven't I seen you or your ship^on Aurelis before? Looks familiar

[lost moss]

Aurelis? Haven't been there, I don't think.

[sly berry]

alr, apologies haha

[lost moss]

no worries lol

I wouldn't be surprised if you've seen similar ships to that, it is pretty much just a big flat triangle!

I no longer have that exact build, since I iterated on it very heavily

[fathom lynx]

Guys how big should a corvette be ?

[eager sky]

However big you want it to be

[lost moss]

as big as you see fit

[spiral prism]

Truly whatever you want

[lost moss]

smaller is typically going to be more maneuverable, but larger will have more internal space for stuff

there's no right answer

I have multiple corvettes, of various sizes

[late finch]

I just have massive ones lol

One's a literal pirate ship and handles like one

[lost moss]

I have little ones that are more suited for combat with higher manueverability, and bigger ones that are more akin to flying bases, with plenty of internal refiners, storage containers, and such

[spiral prism]

Do the modules in tech slots still scramble after doing a hyperdrive jump?

[lost moss]

They can unfortunately

well not sure about warps

[late finch]

Not as bad as going to a new universe

[spiral prism]

Still a thing 6 months later

[late finch]

Mfw everything breaks

[lost moss]

but personally I find that they tend to scramble when switching to other ships repeatedly

[late finch]

I literally just switch to a specific multi tool and ship and unequip all of my exosuit tech to just pass through without issues

[lost moss]

oh by scramble they mean that the order of your tech modules can get messed up

As far as I can tell, it only applies to the building parts. Upgrades like the Flight Assist Override remember their places

[spiral prism]

I get access from last visited on the anomaly

[late finch]

Very good, it has 4 phase beams however im missing a torpedp launcher for it but im looking

Why does gang have the fold weapon from Titanfall

idk bro

jus came like that in the package

How did you get it or did you make it yourself

Fair enough

[red jay]

ik i didnt make it tho

#nms-showcase-corvettes message
This gives me Core Dynamics Condor vibes from Elite if they were built by Ram Tah using Ancient Guardian tech, I like it
(Sorry for double ping, originally replied in showcase by mistake)

[queen torrent]

Is it possible to add corvette guns to floating parts and they function?
Instead of my first build being a UFO, with all the work that goes into that.
I built 3 fighter size floating UFO. And i wanted to mount lasers on them.
I have weapons on them, they just wont fire for whatever reason

OH, NVM i just got it!!

[scarlet condor]

would a hottub make any sense on a corvette

i found a hottub in the game and enabled it via modding for the ship

[main widget]

ok ye Phase Beam is way stronger. Just tested it on my new corvette^^

[scarlet condor]

and added one to my ship

[stone shadow]

What is this!? Looks like some sort of super weapon. I love it

[eternal wind]

a titanfall 2 reference i assume

[loud hatch]

are they ever gunna make larger walkways, like 2x2 2x3 more open

[nimble stirrup]

no idea

[loud hatch]

is there any difference between the shield modules at all

or just pick a few max it out

[lost moss]

Yes but in practice you don't need any of them, the basic shield is good enougj

[loud hatch]

yeah im just tryna be extra safe cos im redoing my build for a locked permadeath save

[lost moss]

I see

[eternal wind]

the high-density ones or whatever they're called are the most effective

the ball-shaped ones that rotate

[loud hatch]

also is the short range teleporter kinda useless on a corvette

[eternal wind]

could probably use it to teleport between unconnected habs. which is an interesting idea

[loud hatch]

and ig my last question before i get to building is does any structural panelling actually matter? in its description it suggests it protects more vulnerable components like reactors, is this true? or just aesthetics

[fair pilot]

I wonder if my corvette gives any Elite vibes. 🤔

#nms-showcase-corvettes message

[lost moss]

is bugged

[eternal wind]

just aesthetics

[loud hatch]

im glad to hear that i didnt want to attempt to cover like 12 reactors

[loud hatch]

whats the best weapon/s for the corvette

[cold ruin]

photon and phase

[loud hatch]

how many of 1 weapon can u place before theres no point placing any more, or is there no upper limit

[eternal wind]

three

[lost moss]

Phase is giga broken if you have 6 weapon arrays
Put 3x Phase and 3x Photon

all 6 of them will contribute to the damage for some reason when using Phase

with upgrades you'll easily 2HKO any small starship - one hit for shields, one hit for hull

with well over 20k damage per tick

I've been able to hit 28k with decent supercharged slots

[hollow lotus]

6 pairs of lasers hit more than 3 pairs of lasers
doesnt seem too complicated

beamy

[loud hatch]

weapons still work if they’re obstructed by like landing gear right

[brave field]

so uh, idk what i'm doing do i just slap on as muc has i can?

and is titan just the highest tier

[fair pilot]

Phase beam with a lot of turrets for maximum powers, photon cannon and 3 turrets for efficiency

Imo beams are high overkill, and triple photon cannon is all you need.

[buoyant turtle]

dont glitch build into the cockpit

you need to access it

[cold ruin]

i use both

[fair pilot]

I don't have tech slots for both, so only photon cannon. Extra 6 slots are filled with trails and figurines for extra speed. And that's I'm not even using Ceto reactors or shield generators. Also Vesper Sail and Photonix Core can be saveedited on corvettes, but it's a different story.

[brave field]

oh it's on top not inside it

[stone shadow]

There are no tiers

[cursive brook]

Has anyone ever built/seen a corvette built like the Warframe orbiter ship?

[crude oasis]

ver. 2 corvette skeleton

[crude oasis]

no but it looks cool

[hollow lotus]

sounds like an idea

imma put that on maybe later list

doing something in blend rn thats taking all my smarts

[cursive brook]

👀

[hollow lotus]

idk if im allowed to use blend pics in here but, figuring out how to cover this hole is taking all my smarts (tinkering with it for few hours already)

from triangle to trapezoid to rectangle with minimal amount of parts

[brave field]

does ranking up the corvette do much other than stats?

or are they forever c

[hollow lotus]

supercharged slots which leads to more stats

[brave field]

i see i see

[hollow lotus]

its all stats

[lost moss]

Nanites for class upgrades

[hollow lotus]

ngl front hole might be least of my problems

i got like 9 holes to patch up total

and already sitting on 57 parts

havent even started detailing

[haughty meadow]

how could i make a 2 story corvette

[velvet ruin]

You can build stairs inside a corvette by leaving the corvette builder, going inside the corvette, and opening the build menu there

Its also how you place wall modules and stuff

The stairs would connect habs placed on top of each other

[haughty meadow]

i built the stairs with a hab on top but the stairs still like won't open

they lead to the roof

[brave field]

i noticed this thing sorta looks like a halo phantom

just no middle

[true rain]

Think I can get another reactor shoved in there? Somehow got 3 into that spot lol

Or another part, I think three is the limit

[storm hedge]

I do not believe I am very good at making corvettes

[scenic sinew]

Lanlan, if you're on here, I salute you and your absolutely sick, amazing build!

[scenic sinew]

Same. This is my ship, simple and armed to the teeth, but also looks like a potato. Also hello fellow Hazbin Hotel fan!

[storm hedge]

my 2 formats for corvettes are form and no function or function and no form

[marsh venture]

the red one?

[tepid arrow]

I think there should be more freedom for making corvettes without needing to use a Blender Addon or app just to make a cool corvette

[tepid arrow]

I like how it look tbh

[north jetty]

how do u make that wing peice go backwards bro pls tell mee

[north jetty]

yes the red corvette

[kind tinsel]

Can you not remove the photon cannon?? I have infra knife modules and have no desire for phtons

[raven rover]

Yes

[kind tinsel]

So how??

[raven rover]

Yes as in yes you cannot remove it

[kind tinsel]

Ah.. bugga

[lunar eagle]

If you set up a 1/4 grid, you could have those with a 1/2 step gap between. Unfortunately, you kinda need to do that from the start of a build

[fair pilot]

It's still possible to have function and form, tho a bit hard sometimes.

[peak anvil]

My first, not random parts put together corvette.

Is there a way to make Corvettes faster?

[pale cedar]

lower part count, Medusa reactors, upgrades that improve speed

[dry tendon]

Hey you guys half of my Chevrolet is gone since the new swarm update what's going on

[lunar eagle]

OK I think she's done for now. Meet is next week, so I got time to ruminate a bit...

[lunar eagle]

They take the same upgrade modules as Starships. You can upgrade their class and tech slot count as well, same as Starships. So use S or X-class modules, use adjacency bonuses, etc. and you can get them quite fast and maneuverable

[hollow lotus]

argonaut aerofil turned out to be perfect piece to plug triangle shaped holes

too bad camera broke

thats probably the reason

[brave field]

i am getting closer to a halo phantom

i just need rounded parts for the side of the cowlings

[storm hedge]

A way to make it function more like a phantom is maybe to put ramped entrances on the sides

[brave field]

well the star faring phantoms don't have open sides

like the ones that actually go out in space

the underside is very flat so i need to figure out how to fix it

idk all the parts so i'm grabbing that i think looks right lol

[lunar eagle]

Engine Cover matches that side profile

[brave field]

engine cover okay i was using vesper aerofoil

[buoyant turtle]

unfortunate

[lunar eagle]

just rebuild it from scratch. I rebuilt one of mine 4 times from nothign until I was happy with it. 😛

with lots of edits, tweaks, and reworks in between on most of those 4 builds

[brave field]

good enough!

[buoyant turtle]

FUH no 😭💔

ill just finish this one and build another one

i have an idea in my mind

to kinda like use curved hallways and then make it intersect

how do i even set up a 1/4 grid

[lunar eagle]

takes literally one minute of putting down parts for an initial basic corvette

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COLg8HU4meE&t=173s&pp=ygUQMS80IG5tcyBjb3J2ZXR0ZQ%3D%3D

I only ever bother with the sideways 1/4 step

[obtuse solar]

Somebody please build a gauntlet starfighter in blender

Gimme the file

[buoyant turtle]

right

okay

ill definitely look into it after i finish this build

im too far in to delete it

[fervent garden]

i built a tiny Corvette ship because apparently you can use it farm alot of Corvette parts

i now have at least 100 million dollars worth of Corvette parts 😭

most of them are labelled as decorative

[buoyant turtle]

how do i make this part not look so flat

[hollow lotus]

something aint right

definelty aint right

[buoyant turtle]

does this work or does it look too weird? @lunar eagle

[lunar eagle]

I would probably be using Thrusters at the back instead of all the fuel pod / engine covers

or you might want to step those up so they are centered on that wraparound line

[buoyant turtle]

well i was gonna offset thrusters in them

[buoyant turtle]

yaeh i thought so too

alright

[lunar eagle]

But it's hard to say what will lok better without actually trying it and seeing it live, so keep adjusting and playing until you get something that satisfies you

[buoyant turtle]

okay

this looks slightly better

or does it need to go up more

[raven rover]

with upside down speedbird cowling

so the flat side is at the top

[buoyant turtle]

that is a great idea

alright then ill try it out

ill delete the thign i was doing

[raven rover]

might not match up well tho

we'll see

Naww keep it

[buoyant turtle]

keep what

[raven rover]

The thing you were doing

[buoyant turtle]

its alright deleted 💔

its okay i can redo it

[raven rover]

😭

[buoyant turtle]

in 5 mintues

easy

[raven rover]

ez clap

[buoyant turtle]

something like this?

[raven rover]

Oh wait not that part

The speedbird thingy

The smooth one

[raven rover]

Yea i forgor the name

Nacelle

speedbird nacelle

[buoyant turtle]

added an additional pair on top idk if u can see the difference

i think it looks cleaner than this

[raven rover]

Oh that looks decent aswell

[buoyant turtle]

oh okay

[hollow lotus]

try speedbirdrims
they be quite roundy

or engine cover rim

[buoyant turtle]

tried it

[hollow lotus]

rockhooper wing modules ?

[buoyant turtle]

ill rty

[raven rover]

Put em at the edge?

[hollow lotus]

they got somewhat squareish to rounded profile

[buoyant turtle]

tried it before

doesnt match the ship

[hollow lotus]

ambasador heavy booster?

[raven rover]

you could try those backwards too

[hollow lotus]

shape seems fitting

square to roundish tapered

[raven rover]

i wish these werent thrusters tho

looks cool as a hull piece

[hollow lotus]

ye

[buoyant turtle]

alright hold on

[raven rover]

But i cannot fathom 1000 trails coming out of my ship

[hollow lotus]

gotta deal with trail showing through

[hollow lotus]

isnt there cap on how many show tho

[buoyant turtle]

calm down with the suggestions

rn im on speedbird nacelle

[raven rover]

I use mods, so they all show up

[buoyant turtle]

then ill try doing that

[hollow lotus]

fair

i do same

[buoyant turtle]

then that

[raven rover]

its an side effect tbh

the no complexity mod

[buoyant turtle]

i will begin using mods after i finish up this build

[hollow lotus]

that one i dont touch

[raven rover]

Hell yea

[hollow lotus]

i try to stay within limits

like this has 81 parts including few decor pieces inside for cockpit seat

goal is to get as close to 100 as possible

[raven rover]

im usually around the 100-250 mark

Most of the time its 150 tbh

[hollow lotus]

my main save ship runs on 250 but thats with decor pieces
on hull its perfect 100

[raven rover]

Try em upside down

So the flat side is at the top

[raven rover]

ah yea i dont use decor that much

its all just hull pieces

Maybe 10-20 decor

[raven rover]

this looks sick btw

[hollow lotus]

i kinda went into a decor spree with main save

[buoyant turtle]

i need to up my interior decor game

[hollow lotus]

minmaxing that cramped coridor space

[buoyant turtle]

how does it look

[raven rover]

heres my interior on a microvette

barely bigger than a hauler

[hollow lotus]

would push em wee bit to sides for more seamless bits

[raven rover]

Can you offset those upwards?
