[inner frost]

Soon brother, soon

[gloomy isle]

All I know is if you stand on top of a friend's ship, they can fly around with you on top of it lol

[inner frost]

You can glitch out and do that with your own ship

[hard summit]

Yo you can place decals on the outside of a corvette

[inner frost]

That's how I just sit on my cockpit and fly around

[errant ore]

Yeeep

Dammit need to empty ma inventory

[mint lynx]

Corvette kidnapping is real

[errant ore]

Ok now I want some new outlaw contracts where you go and attack and board corvettes

That would make me whole

And let me fulfill my duty as an admiral of the black

[gloomy isle]

Imagine derelict corvettes you have to spacewalk out to. Got a feeling it's going to open up a lot of space content

[errant ore]

That's my thinking

[sinful niche]

I hate that all of the corvette stuff just came out because I need previews of these items, I can’t do anything with a tiny little 2x2 square and no detailed information on what sets a Thunderbird hab apart from a Titan hab

[errant ore]

Go into the building mode?

[gloomy isle]

On the icon there's a little swatch of the interior

[mental socket]

Someone from anomaly got carried along with my corvette. They were not in my party but could still come with me

[gloomy isle]

Amazing 😂😂😂😂

[sinful niche]

You can’t place the pieces if you don’t own them and I’m too lazy to go to creative just to look

[earnest nebula]

go into a creative save or set crafting to free, place some and see how they look. Alternatively, check the nms update log for interior views

[gloomy isle]

Now to see how many people can fit in

[late tusk]

Thanks gleam

[icy citrus]

Np

[late tusk]

So does the cockpit determine interior?

[earnest nebula]

no

[late tusk]

Oh

[earnest nebula]

unless you mean cockpit interior, and not the whole interior

[gloomy isle]

There's 3 different hab types, and each has a different texture/ style

[late tusk]

I see okay

[gloomy isle]

But you can mix and match, with the cockpits too

[late tusk]

Ill be able to play more when i get home

[errant ore]

You know when I watched the deep dive video. In that moment if I died I would have died happy. Now I need money so I can buy the nms plushies

[grizzled eagle]

bro i need to install nms and its at 46 AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[glass flare]

I know corvettes were probably a decent chunk of work, but this ended up being a pretty small update for an anniversary. No real other features besides that

[gritty flame]

did someone know at which time the Expedition starts ?

[errant ore]

Once switch gets updated

[gritty flame]

thanks

[steady osprey]

HELL yes

[dense quartz]

I honestly hoped that when Outlaws released that the pirate missions would've included something like that. Boarding another frigate and looting it from the inside or something.

[runic mesa]

Uh, Gunter? You okay?

[icy citrus]

Link to the blog

No preview to show

[bold dune]

CORVETTES
CORVETTES
CORVETTES

WOOOO~!

[runic mesa]

Wait, first day Switch drop for this? Pinch me

[uncut harness]

The wait begins I'm thinking a echoes like delay because of the new graphics and lighting
That's IF we get it at all

[runic mesa]

It says Switch updated right above it, Lamb

[uncut harness]

Huh?!?!

I checked my switch every hour since 7am

[runic mesa]

Oh no, I'm dumb, nevermind.

[uncut harness]

Damnit mo

[runic mesa]

Sorry, scrolled back too far on the ticker and misread the 5.75 drop

[uncut harness]

I'm skeptical switch will even get the update we missed 50% of beacons

Wonder how much of a strain on the engine a Corvette is

[gloomy isle]

Corvettes are probably going to be the hub for a lot of content going forwards ngl

[runic mesa]

Surely Sean would have said if Switch 1 got left out

[steady osprey]

i have way too many thrusters on this thing

[bold dune]

OK so we have starfield ships now basically?

[steady osprey]

yes

[uncut harness]

They never mentioned switch 1 not getting beacons content we just knew because no settlements

[bold dune]

Fuck. Yes.

Best piece of starfield content: Ours.

[runic mesa]

We knew settlements weren't on Switch 1 tho. This is brand new.

[mortal granite]

Waiting on switch2

[glass flare]

We’re releasing a new album!

No Man’s Sky: Journeys will be released on music services, and vinyl pre-orders will open via Laced Records, on September 18th.

[gloomy isle]

By adding the different gravity zones and the EVA, they have the basis now for a full space legs adventure side to the game

[raw sigil]

i built an 80/100 complexity ship and it lowered my fps by like 20 i think

[ebon spoke]

I put too many decorations in my ship and now it collides with itself and is basically unpilotable lol

[cedar rover]

I need to find how to get the more advanced parts but I'm going to see if I can pull something off with the basic parts.

[uncut harness]

Don't get me wrong I'm hopeful 🙏🏽
I'm just suspicious lol
PS4 hasn't got the update either yet but it's mentioned in the patch notes so they will

[raw sigil]

how do you get image perms i gotta post my big ass ship

[steady osprey]

this ship i made has tons of space its peak

[raw sigil]

i wish you could get rid of the dividing walls

[spark pecan]

in the No Man's Sky Voyagers Update - Deep Dive video he said they gonna add boats to nms

[steady osprey]

i dont mind them

[raw sigil]

oh my god

[eternal girder]

wait do the different hab types have different amounts of space?

[steady osprey]

no the different ones are just cosmetic

[raw sigil]

wait like buildable boats or just exocraft boats

[pliant aurora]

Really? I have to watch it again. i thought it just boats for light no fire

[vestal barn]

did anyone find the upgrades on planets yet ? i am searching but can't find any. it looks random so far

[raw sigil]

they're super easy to find you have to go to a planet with salvagable scrap

[vestal barn]

thank you for the info

[raw sigil]

do you mean like ship upgrades or parts

cuz ship upgrades r just starship upgrades

[vestal barn]

yes. the corvette new parts

the one u can exchange it with advance items

[raw sigil]

yea those u have to find

its kind of annoying how low the chances of trading for ambassador parts are ngl

[spark pecan]

yeah, he said in light no fire : you have these real oceans to navigate, u need boats and crews, and this tech is being developed for '' both games ''

[vestal barn]

thank you

[raw sigil]

exocraft storage bays would be so cool on the corvettes...

i want to dock my minotaur in it so bad

[uncut harness]

Ping me if the update drops I'm not gunna stock around launch day just to be disappointed lol

[ebon spoke]

Boats for LNF, Corvettes for NMS is what I think he meant by that

[runic mesa]

So we're waiting on Switch/Switch 2, PS4, Mac and GOG?

[bold dune]

...! Nasacore player customization!
Hell yes! I love nasacore stuff!

[runic mesa]

I'm planning to get a Switch 2 in October, so even if Switch 1 doesn't get corvettes, I will hopefully not have FOMO for too long

But I still think HG would have said if the Switch 1 couldn't handle it...

[pliant aurora]

If thats the case then I guess that means another update to the oceans for NMS again too which is great

[bold dune]

WELP THIS UPDATE HAS SOLD ANOTHER COPY OF THE GAME LMAO MY WIFE AND I CAN NO LONGER SHARE THE SAME FAMILY SHARE COPY

[glass flare]

Mac is out according to the ticker

[eternal girder]

just switch and ps4 afaik

[spark pecan]

probably but im sure they gonna add it bc they know it is gonna be so cool

[runic mesa]

The older consoles. But original Xbox got it, so... hopium

[glass flare]

I guess my iOS port theory didn't pan out

[uncut harness]

PS4 is mentioned in the patch notes only poor switch isn't

[runic mesa]

Yup, which worries me

[uncut harness]

We must combine our efforts in a group prayer

[raw sigil]

im a huge fan of how the corvettes spin around when landing so the ramps face you

[runic mesa]

I'm still holding on to the hope that HG would have told us Switch 1 was a no go...

[uncut harness]

Me too me too

Even if we get this update the switch can only do so much tho

[glass flare]

So how many of these things can you own?

[runic mesa]

Okay, work now, later

[tranquil lark]

ok, so im assuming the corvette is for when you are doing group play with friends??? because i pull out me regular starship and go to the anomoly and i see other players. i switch to my corvette and im the only 1 theire.

[mint lynx]

❓ ‼️

[tranquil lark]

and so far the only place i can land the vette is on the space station or anomoly. no landing on space station or cap ship landing bay

[dense quartz]

You can land corvettes on freighters and frigates too.

[rotund perch]

Is there turrets for your crew to use?

[mint lynx]

I just realized if the update doesn't release soon there's a long weekend coming up :0

[clear citrus]

anyone having issues where modules you have in your inventory cant be used in building the ship

[tepid iris]

I wonder

[clear citrus]

and why did they make it so if you rotate a part in editor and exit the part will be rotated in the inventory so itll bloat it

[tepid iris]

WHAT IF they do the same for land exocrafts

[tranquil lark]

ok, how do we get tradable modules to trade for the advance corvette modules?

[sharp dock]

GOTG milano ship

[bold dune]

So I feel the need to point out that in the update where we get starfield ships, we are also given a "Skyborne" player custom that's extremely nasacore.
I think they might be making fun of starfield.

[uncut harness]

This update isn‘t making fun of Starfield but a homage to it, even the ship design on the cover is clearly inspired by the Frontier plus the Astronaut color scheme is clearly Starfield stuff

[mint lynx]

We did it chat
We made subnatica and Starfield obsolete

[icy citrus]

I think when Todd and Sean met at the Game Awards? (Or wherever that was) Todd said something snarky

[sharp dock]

at this point, nms is the result of mixing all open world games into one, and that is crazy

[uncut harness]

Hard disagree personally. Starfield has actual questing with some of their best questlines since Morrowind, far superior combat (especially on ground) and more advanced Fauna.

It‘s also a Space RPG while NMS is a survival/exploration game, they‘re actually hard to compare. Elite is a better comparison to NMS

[misty egret]

Just needs ocean faring ships now and underwater sentinels

[uncut harness]

Yup they did

[mint lynx]

You consider Starfields AI based questing actual questing?

It's just a improved version of Skyrim automation

[uncut harness]

Im talking faction quests specifically which are the largest ones in the game

And there are also some unique hidden ones

[mint lynx]

Proc gen questing

[glass flare]

y'all this is not a channel for debating space games, take it to #other-games

[uncut harness]

UC Vanguard questline is the best thing they‘ve done since Oblivion‘s dark brotherhood, but Solar is right

[mint lynx]

I don't think there's really much to debate there's any number of 2h+ YouTube videos that breaks down Starfield but you right wrong channel

[uncut harness]

Clickbait Youtubers farming clicks, game developers would tell you otherwise, I am sure Sean has lots of respect for the game himself

[mint lynx]

It's easy to say they just clickbait but I don't watch reviews I watch critiques the kind of "reviews" that just go over every single detail

[uncut harness]

The hypocracy reached it‘s peak when the Oblivion remaster was praised despite having all of Starfield‘s flaws and even more.

[icy citrus]

Cmon, move along

[native salmon]

kind of spoiler, where do we report bugs?

[icy citrus]

Not really, but update day is a little looser

[tight umbra]

Can you see your corvette from freighter base?

[pliant aurora]

Cant wait when they bring those boats to the game

Hope we get it sometime in the middle of next year

[sinful niche]

So uhhh I made my corvette, docked it at my freighter, warped to a new galaxy and summoned my freighter but my corvette is nowhere to be seen and I can’t call it to the dock

[glass flare]

I wonder if this will have any impact on future features.. Improved the CPU performance of planetary creatures navigating across terrain.

[violet forge]

Sounds like another really bad bug. Send a report. ._.

[outer wasp]

Anyone know do the different shields for the corvette have different stats or is it all cosmetic?

[quartz thistle]

Does/did it show a landing display when not landing? Idk how this is related but both happened to me at once and I'm wondering if it's related

Apparently not huh

[sinful niche]

So, I tried summoning it onto the docked part outside of the freighter and inside (obviously that one didn’t work either) but I had to go land on another planet and call it in.

[tight umbra]

Does teleporter in hangar works? (Oops wrong reply)

[glass flare]

I would try going back to the original galaxy. galaxy crossing stuff never seems to be tested as well

[quartz thistle]

Doesn't seem to be cockpit related

[mint lynx]

I like how it's not another end game reward like echoes or world part 2 atleast

Could probably get one on a fresh save

[quartz thistle]

You'd need a few millions but yeah you could surely get that before purple worlds

[mint lynx]

I stayed up all night and the update didn't come to switch or PS4 so I feel pretty stupid lol

311am rn lol

[sinful niche]

I think the corvette just simply doesn’t travel with the freighter even when it’s docked, the way a fighter would travel when in the hangar

[violet forge]

Is the corvette summonable by itself?

[quartz thistle]

Good question, doesn't work for me? Maybe because it's too big idk

But it should work like any other ship I think

[sinful niche]

The same way you can call in a fighter yes

[mint lynx]

I'll stay up 1 more hour till 4 to see if I get the update

[violet forge]

Very good. 🙂

[glass flare]

the corvette doesn't have a hangar bay right? would've been nice if you could at least put an exocraft in it

[mint lynx]

You can jump out of it like a halo shock trooper lol

[violet forge]

I wouldn't advise pulling an all-nighter for this, especially with all these bug reports coming out.

[quartz thistle]

Overboard- yes
Laggy- Yes
Ship- Ship

[mint lynx]

Yeah I'm just gunna wait to see if I get the update I hope it comes before labour day weekend lol

[quartz thistle]

i hope for ya

[violet forge]

I know multiple ways you can summon an exocraft anyways, so it would be cool, but not necessary, lol.

[mint lynx]

I bought a big pink handgrip to play NMS portable too it's pretty cool

Nitro deck lol

[quartz thistle]

Fun fact, in photo mode you can phase through the Corvette, useful for getting outside pics when inside not strapped to the seat

[misty egret]

All the storage slots combined with the teleporter module oh my god I'll never run out of space again

[abstract adder]

When will the expédition open?

[mint lynx]

Next week but the patch notes claim it's supposed to be your first Corvette must of got delayed last min

[ember sail]

How do you get new parts besides the standard ones?

[tepid iris]

So did the corvette building replace the existing ship customisation?

or can that still be done to non corvette ships

[latent sentinel]

i would also like to know i thought it was from salvaged data containers but ive been looting loads of them and am just getting salvaged date

patch notes say u can get them from derelicts tho

[paper basalt]

where do we get the other modules for the corvette ships?

[tepid iris]

Added support for NVIDIA DLSS4. Deep Learning Super Sampling is a revolutionary suite of neural rendering technologies that uses AI to boost FPS, reduce latency, and improve image quality.
Is DLSS3 still available? Coz DLSS4 is locked to RTX 40 or newer

[quartz thistle]

you still have the normal ship customization as i'm aware

also im surprisingly still not dying, like what, i'm 500u away

They added Eva I guess

[crisp linden]

I got a character that I have been trying to pattern after Doomguy/Doom slayer on nms. I might have to find a good corvette for him.

[sinful niche]

Alright y’all don’t join the public space station with your portable refiner on your corvette and loaded with stuff lmao. People can just come on board and snatch that shit.

[crisp linden]

Someone robbed you at the Anomaly?

[sinful niche]

Yes 😭

[crisp linden]

They need to add a locking feature to it. Only you and your party members should be able to get stuff from the refiner.

[sinful niche]

I agree. It was only ferrite dust but I didn’t have enough to make ladders and now I don’t even have the ferrite to get the dust with lmao

[versed meadow]

Im on creative/free crafting. Are there other parts than the ones listed in my options at the corvette crafting station?

Or is there like way more than what I can use now. I would be shocked if there was more.

[mint lynx]

I think I'm most excited for the Starfield inspired outfit
It's hard to make the human guy look good

[indigo smelt]

Is there no landing pad base part for corvettes? The sheer size wouldn't be an issue for me.

[broken beacon]

Has anyone tried to go through a black hole without their ship yet lol

[glass flare]

doesn't seem like it. maybe in the future. I imagine they'll have to add something to freighters as well to be able to house them there

[indigo smelt]

Freighters sort of have a pad, corvettes are redirected to a space outside of the zone that can beam inside.

[winter plover]

When you add parts to your corvette, are they supposed to be on all your ships? Because my starborn pheonix has a bunch of corvette parts now in it's tech slots

[indigo smelt]

Tech slots seem to be bugged on the corvette.

[winter plover]

Interesting. This seems exploitable

[errant ore]

What are the things needed to trade new parts?

Game won't give me info 😭

[shrewd hinge]

lmfao so, it is possible to get stuck inside the corvette if you've experimented with parts and tucked your cockpit somewehre you think looks doofy cool while you're messing with the system.

[runic mesa]

Still no word on Switch 1/2 and PS4?

[mint lynx]

Worse case scenario we'd get it next Wednesday I assume

[runic mesa]

Nintendo usually drops Tues/Thurs tho. So I'm assuming then

[mint lynx]

Sheeeiiit if that's the case looks like I'm staying up tomorrow night too

[runic mesa]

Tomorrow would be nice. 😛

[mint lynx]

The wait for the update is on

[runic mesa]

But I'm expecting 1-2 weeks it it's giving people trouble on current gen...

[mint lynx]

I'm just glad it's nothing too crazy just building your own ship
We could be missing out on purple systems now that would suck

[runic mesa]

Yeah. Like, I want to skydive, don't get me wrong. But at least we don't have a whole race or binomes we can't access for weeks. Could be worse

[mint lynx]

I'm most excited for the outfit and the white fix lol

You can tell from the trailers the whites are less white then what we have now

[runic mesa]

My only worry is corvettes not playing nice with the Switch 1 and screwing us out of an expedition.

[mint lynx]

Luckily the Exp rewards are kinda mid
The main new outfits added to the game

[runic mesa]

....I love cosmetic shinies tho. 😛

Though PS4 being behind is odd

[late edge]

Space walks are weird. Feels so differently from swimming

[mint lynx]

What's the latest a switch update released

[winter lodge]

Switch probably wont be until end of this week or early next week. Nintendo is always delayed releasing NMS updates

[charred mason]

PS4 being behind is crazy considering ps5 was so fast.

[mint lynx]

I was spoiled by switch getting the update immediately all 2024

[late tusk]

should i go creative to make my Cirvette

[runic mesa]

Yeah, we were due to hit a snag. Nintendo was being suspiciously quick.

A lot of the newer Switch players here gonna get a rude shock...

"It's not on Switch yet??"
Me (who lived through Interceptor and Echoes): ...oh sweetie.

[mint lynx]

Yep
Now the news ticker begins trolling with PC hot fixes

Mythos already warned me news ticker don't pickup on switch by itself tho too lol

[glass flare]

if the Corvette's a-rockin' ||with bugs||, don't come a-knockin'

[mint lynx]

Seems like most bugs are easily avoidable just don't go to a freighter in one

Or move the cockpit

[glass flare]

Fixed an issue that could cause a Corvette ship to land on a regular landing pad in the Space Anomaly. so being able to use them in the anomaly was a mistake?

[sullen jetty]

What are the rewards for the new expedition

[tepid iris]

Is it true you can't fire the weapons of the new ships yourself? that you need a crew?

[dreamy quartz]

As much as I love this update, some of it is so similar to starfield that im worried betheseda will sue lol

Although nms definitely does it better with more customization, the ability to set up auto pilot, build furniture in the ship, fly the ship on planets, etc.

[cosmic anvil]

I don't think you can copyright the idea of starship customization.. It's like crafting, some mechanics are universal to games

If the specific implementation is directly lifted like names, way of assembly etc. then they might have a case but very unlikely to win cause 1) going against an underdog studio is a PR nightmare (except for Nintendo, they seem to love it) 2) Jurisdiction will most likely be in a UK court which might side with HG against a US firm 3) I think HG would have definitely considered any legal implications beforehand.

Disclaimer : I'm not a lawyer, just my thoughts on the comment

[mint lynx]

The new outfit is Starfield inspired too

[tepid iris]

Is the trailer music in game yet

or will they patch it in later

[cosmic anvil]

Even so, inspiration cannot be grounds to sue right? I mean we literally have Venator Star Destroyers in NMS, if Lucasfilm had a case, they definitely would have sued

[tepid iris]

Starfield is Bethesda; Bethesda is Microsoft; Hello games partners with Microsoft for Game Pass

[mint lynx]

I'm going to sue if switch don't get the update on god fr fr

[tepid iris]

They won't dare

[cosmic anvil]

I'm pretty sure they don't even have a case it's not like Starfield patented the idea of customization

I'm really happy for the update and just wish the bugs could be squashed soon

Cause there are quite many now that I've played for some time

[glass flare]

Todd Howard and Sean seem on ok terms, I doubt he would get too upset about it

[tepid iris]

I feel like No Man's Sky did it way better

[cosmic anvil]

Personal friendships usually take a backseat if it comes to the business

[tepid iris]

I still don't understand the UX of ship building in Starfield lol

[glass flare]

the ship building seems quite a bit different in SF, I'm not going to worry about a theoretical like that

[cosmic anvil]

Y'know I kinda feel empty that the update is here

All the speculation and excitement... Fun times

It's like how the day before a holiday is more exciting and fun than the actual holiday

[uncut harness]

There‘s so much homage to Starfield in this update I think they‘re on pretty good terms

[civic mauve]

i know im late but im still honestly amazed that this game can run on switch

[cosmic anvil]

True true, I'm just making a comment on a hypothetical... It's good for all of us if game devs can get along in healthy competition

[uncut harness]

Maybe they‘re even trying to wake some good associations with Starfield through that, there‘s a lot being done on SF behind the scenes for next year, so it wouldn‘t surprise me.

Still hard to do since it‘s become akin to a political opinion to hate on Starfield, but if the games can benefit each other I‘m all for it

Oh wow I just saw that new merch coming as well!

Damn my wallet will be…tested

[cosmic anvil]

What I want now for HG to start refining existing features : audio enhancements, ruin design variety, make the ocean deeper

[civic mauve]

subnautica collab when

[mint lynx]

Subnatica is already in nms

[cosmic anvil]

Oh I wish lol

But they're having a bit of a problem if you've been following the whole Krafton issue

[uncut harness]

But where the Reapers 🙁

[cosmic anvil]

Now that I think of it, the Gargantuan Leviathan would work perfectly in NMS

We already have the Titan Worms on land

[civic mauve]

a pretty crappy submarine and at most ~2000u deep oceans does not equal subnautica-

[civic mauve]

yeahhhh

[uncut harness]

I mean, Subnautica is a far more tight experience than NMS, but it‘s also way waayyy shorter

NMS can be played infinitely pretty much

[cosmic anvil]

It's also tied to its story tightly, it's not a free exploration game

I mean eventually || you leave the planet ||

[uncut harness]

Yeah, what I also mean is that it‘s unreasonable to expect NMS to take its ocean complexity as far as Subnautica, a game that specifically specializes in that area and doesn‘t offer as many other things as NMS does.

[civic mauve]

more dedicated underwater infrastructure, leviathans, and especially better fucking watercraft would be nice at least

i hate the nautilon and i hate that its literally your only option underwater

[gloomy isle]

I want a solar corvette

[glass flare]

it's good enough for most people I'd say. it's an indie sandbox game, it's not going to replicate every feature of every other game it draws inspiration from.

I do agree that the Nautilon sucks though

[civic mauve]

true, also sentinel corvette would be cool

[cosmic anvil]

Bruhhh your solar sail will take up the whole station

[uncut harness]

Sometimes I forget that this is really just an Indie game, just because of the sheer size of the in game universe.

[quasi oyster]

Let’s be honest here… MGM would’ve sued them by now for Stargate copying 😛

[gloomy isle]

It almost feels like it's ships 2.0 (though I'm not sure how to get above c class lol)

[compact coyote]

Bro I gotta get on

This sounds so exciting

[uncut harness]

Dew it!

[mint lynx]

Yeah it does

[cosmic anvil]

This is where the fun begins

[tepid iris]

Living Corvette

[uncut harness]

My greatest joy is that we now have a proper space suit looking outfit, well something close to it at least.

[gloomy isle]

A H.R Giger themed corvette would be so sick

[civic mauve]

i dont want every feature, i just want the things thatd integrate easily into nms, like more dedicated underwater stuff for building(like more than just deepwater squares and circles plus moon pool), underwater megafauna which would be more or less easy to just copy the titan worm and reskin it or something, and PLEASE GOD PLEASE other watercraft

[tepid iris]

Also... can we get exocraft ones

[cosmic anvil]

The Expedition outfit?

[tepid iris]

Customizable planet exos can also be insane for customisation

[gloomy isle]

Sentinel corvettes too

[versed rapids]

When the expedition comes out?

[uncut harness]

Yeah, the Skyborn suit (also a nod to Starfield‘s „Starborn“ for sure)

[civic mauve]

hey i said that already

[civic mauve]

i think sep 3, might be wrong tho

[tepid iris]

And Skyrim

[cosmic anvil]

3rd September

[charred mason]

(is a rumor)

[gloomy isle]

Does anyone else feel like spacewalking, the seamless gravity system etc is paving the way for new space content

[charred mason]

Yes

[uncut harness]

I cant wait to open the ramp in front of a gas giant

[gloomy isle]

Like the Corvette in essence would be the perfect hub for space content

[tawny carbon]

So has the new content dropped or will that not be until the expedition drops

[uncut harness]

The content has been dropped, the exped. delayed

[civic mauve]

the new content is out, you can check #nms-news-ticker and #nms-announcements to check

[tawny carbon]

How do you get the new ships then?

[uncut harness]

I was initially hyped for the Expedition but I‘m not so sure now if it‘ll continue VM lore…

[civic mauve]

in space stations, you get parts then build the ship

[cosmic anvil]

Have you seen Return of the Jedi when Palpatine first descends down from the shuttle onto the Death Star II with the steam jets shooting down the ramp? I felt like that the first time I used it lol

[tepid iris]

WAIT if corvettes are pilotable; does that mean one day freighter could become pilotable 👀

[gloomy isle]

Head to the station then walk away from the main area back towards the entrance, there's big landing pads and some terminals there

There you can build one

[civic mauve]

teleporters look like this

[uncut harness]

There was also talk of new multiplayer missions related to the corvettes, did anybody check those out already?

[cosmic anvil]

It's like the Nexus ones

I checked on the mission board

[uncut harness]

Ah I was hoping for more interesting stuff there, but oh welp. MP rework can still happen down the line…

[glass flare]

I wish these ships had some narrative explanation, like maybe the Autophage gave us this technology via VM. but that's an ongoing complaint for me, they don't do a great job of narratively explaining tech changes in the universe

[cosmic anvil]

There was a mission to collect faeceium 🤦🏾

[river surge]

So what's been discovered so far as new content in this new update anything other than build corvette ship

[glass flare]

according to the patch notes that's mostly it

[uncut harness]

Maybe the Expedition will do so, we‘ll see

[river surge]

Damn was hoping they do more with battles and missions and MP ect

[graceful spindle]

Can't wait to recreate the normandy (mass effect) with the new corvettes

[river surge]

Can't wait to unlock theys

[cosmic anvil]

Peak NMS :

CV - got milk
CV - got poop

Thank you Sean

[mint lynx]

The switch probably won't get the exp I reckon
Transport another traveler by Corvette? Switch don't have multiplayer

I hope they atleast get the update

Embark upon another players corvette #2 thing switch can't do

[river surge]

Switch 2 has MP

[uncut harness]

Hmm that data makes it not seem like a very lore focused Expedition in regards to the VM, at least from what I can see there

[glass flare]

that's annoying, I don't like to do expeditions with MP on... seems like they're making that a requirement

[mint lynx]

Switch 2 has mp and will absolutely get the update idk about switch 1 now tho

[glass flare]

actually I don't know if I can even complete that requirement since I let my PS Plus expire

[uncut harness]

„Derelict freighters are highly dangerous“ 🤔

[river surge]

So we got October around the corner let see if we get anything good also then and December

[mint lynx]

The wait to see if switch gets the update just got real with the info about the upcoming exp

50/50 shot it won't

[river surge]

Switch 1 does not have mp and I dont think it ever will have

[mint lynx]

Thats the point lol the upcoming exp looks like it requires mp

[gloomy isle]

Anyone else been skydiving yet

[mint lynx]

So switch 1 would have edited requirements or bevskipped

[gloomy isle]

Tbf there's no features in the corvettes that actually require multiplayer

[river surge]

Ive not been able to check content out yet due to crashing ive moved mods as well looks like ill have to remove just about all part from 1

[mint lynx]

Corvettes don't require mp but the upcoming exp has multiplayer requirements involving Corvettes

So maybe switch will get the update not the exp idk I don't see the future lol

[river surge]

Only switch 2 will have expedition

[analog breach]

I already dont like that

[mint lynx]

@runic mesa looks like switch 1 might not get the update from exp data mined info fingers crossed

[mint lynx]

It makes sense the trailer basically said corvettes are for mp

[fallow jackal]

The website has switch 1 listed for the update, but idk about the exp

[mint lynx]

Yeah it's weird the info contradicts each other

[fallow jackal]

Dunno how it keeps chugging along but hey

[zenith perch]

Heavily likely.

[mint lynx]

I primarily use a switch 1 lite so I'm camp looking forward to the update don't get me wrong

[analog breach]

I hope that the milestone with mp requirement will be optional.

[zenith perch]

It does?

[mint lynx]

Idk if I've seen a exp with optional requirements besides the community goals

[zenith perch]

That's gonna cause issues if mp bugs.

[mint lynx]

Check pics I've posted

[fallow jackal]

I played switch primarily, that was until I began to play on ps4 which is already an immense upgrade from switch

[zenith perch]

Crew escort is going to be pretty awful on console since no text chat

Yeah I'm not doing that, I refuse to collect faecium from fauna, it takes too long.

[uneven oak]

what items do I need to exchange for the advanced corvette modules?

[uncut harness]

Personally I‘m more worried about the narrative of this expedtion seeming kinda weak, this being Number 19 would be a missed opportunity…but I‘ll still play it cause I want that suit…

[mint lynx]

I just hope switch gets the update now at all, I'm not counting on the exp lol

[gloomy isle]

Suit isn't expedition, you have it unlocked rn

[uncut harness]

Fr? Wow, that surprises me…

This is the one time where I would have preferred it to be a reward, damn it I was always against the FOMO but it being limited makes it feel more special…

[glass flare]

that's weird, what actually is the big reward for the expedition then?

[analog breach]

Pet?

[uncut harness]

Some special guns for the corvette are in there too

[analog breach]

And corvette

Mouse or something

[misty egret]

https://x.com/pcgamer/status/1960690435611091247?t=rNxt0whSkrhR4hjU4vqCUA&s=19

Interesting. Based on this our next update could be ocean faring ships

PC Gamer (@pcgamer)

Sean Murray says the Earth-sized planet in Light No Fire will have 'real oceans' that players will need 'large boats and crews' to cross https://t.co/hV8WPrP03g

X · Aug 27, 2025, 1:06 PM

[uncut harness]

Hmm I like the pet, so I think I‘ll play it. But the big wow factor reward is missing here for me…

That would have been the suit ig

[glass flare]

I feel like they should have spent a bit more time thinking about how the corvette would integrate with existing systems like freighters / anomaly, it just seems a bit "here's this cool thing, don't ask us"

[misty egret]

They do that a lot

[analog breach]

Suit looks too simliar to normal ones imo

[mint lynx]

I just wish they'd be more clear about s1

[uncut harness]

Yeah I also think that the hype is gonna be shortlived, personally also never bothered much with the shipbuilder in Starfield. It‘s cool ig, but i stick to the „normal“ gameplay loops

[glass flare]

considering this is really the only feature in this anniversary update, I feel like it should be a bit more well thought-out I guess. but whatever, HG gonna HG

[analog breach]

Hype will die off with parts gathered. Like with bones

[uncut harness]

Yep. But at least there‘s potential to take this somewhere in the future…and the screenshot crowd will be pleased for a while

[glass flare]

I guess in my mind I'll just consider Worlds Pt 2 as the anniversary update. because that felt like a proper lunch. big feature updates and a good narrative chunk, and felt cohesive

[mint lynx]

The bones update added more than collecting bones atleast lol

This update downgraded collecting salvage it got rid of the guards

[analog breach]

Yet we didint get all the bones

Still 5 are missing.

[mint lynx]

Relics was still a more cohesive addition then their "big one'

[tawny carbon]

Uh oh I see a bug

[analog breach]

Pls report all bugs

!hg

[cloud jolt]

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[mint lynx]

This update added the hard frame to abandoned mode too so fingers double crossed switch gets it lol

[glass flare]

the real hero feature of this update Implemented support for rebinding controls on console.

[compact coyote]

Wen switch

[analog breach]

Wen nintendo pushes the update out

[long barn]

Is there a way to get those big chunky side thrusters that we saw on the update art?

[uneven oak]

what items do I need to trade for advanced modules?

[uncut harness]

Ah I also want those lol, but I think they‘re just art. Hopefully somebody can prove me wrong

[upper void]

Yeah i wasn’t really expecting anything massive this update considering how insane Worlds was. I do agree that it should be more well integrated into the game, though i have a feeling that’ll come with time

[mint lynx]

Oooo I missed that one now I really hope switch still gets the update

[glass flare]

Improved the CPU performance of planetary creatures navigating across terrain. I hope this means some updates to fauna (or planetary NPCs) is coming in a future update

[spare saddle]

yo when are we getting the expedition for the corvettes?

[mint lynx]

September 3

[glass flare]

(unless they change it again)

[spare saddle]

nice

prolly wait until then to play the update

good way to get introduced to the new content

[mint lynx]

It's possible the delay was to change the missions requiring mp I guess

[spare saddle]

I am super excited for this update, building ships is something i've always wanted in nms

[steady tinsel]

does anyone know when the new expedition starts?

[mint lynx]

September 3

[long barn]

How are we meant to recreate The Frontier without them 😭

[sullen jetty]

Everyone on switch put #release switch update now
On you usernam

[uncut harness]

True, it was the goal for my first corvette as well 😞

[violet forge]

I think what I'm hoping to create my be more expensive than the freighters I bought. ._.

[inland viper]

Does each space station have different corvette parts?

[native carbon]

Nope afaik

[gloomy isle]

I'm pretty sure the skydiving mechanic is based on the gliding we saw in the LNF trailer

You go way, way further than if you were just normally falling

[late tusk]

hi space friends

[glass flare]

oh really? I was misled. :(

[inland viper]

How do i get other parts?

[main crow]

How do I trade for parts? The space stations all have the same thing?

[runic mesa]

FYI, Switch has run expeditions with an mp requirement before. (Polestar, for example) It was an optional milestone that didn't affect completion.

[mint lynx]

On god? No cap?

[runic mesa]

Yup. It was still there, you just ignored it. Didn't affect getting the exped rewards.

I'm not making any assumptions about Switch 1 unless HG says something.

[mint lynx]

I wouldn't be if we didn't just get half of beacons & they hyped up rewriting the game to make this possible
But it's good to know it's still possible to hit s1

[runic mesa]

But. They have shuffled things around to accommodate Switch before. I'm sure they'll do as much as they can.

We have the offline Nexus, which is different from the others and has modified requirements.

There is no reason to assume that if Switch 1 does get corvettes, they won't modify the Switch expedition to suit.

[main crow]

How do I exchange corvette modules?

[mint lynx]

I'd agree with you if beacons didn't happen now we'd have to wait and see what we get from voyagers

[runic mesa]

Sometimes being a Switch launch era veteran saves me a lot of anxiety. 😛

[solid plover]

Probably just a lot more hoops to jump through to push something to nintendo for updates, also more work involved optimization wise to make that poor device not go up in flames

[mint lynx]

It's possible we get everything from voyagers but the main feature again lol

[runic mesa]

HG has already gone above and beyond for Switch 1. It doesn't feel like it coming in new, but they have.

So I'm not doomsaying just yet.

[mint lynx]

I'll wait and see what we get tomorrow before I enter doom mode as you said switch releases updates Thursday or Tuesday

[glass flare]

One thing I was surprised is not to see either Switch on this list, unless it's already implemented there and I missed it Implemented occlusion culling on Xbox Series, PS4, and PS5, significantly increasing framerate in indoor environments

[runic mesa]

2022 redux increased QS rewards for Switch only to compensate for not having a Nexus at the time.

[mint lynx]

Switch potentially isn't on that list because measures to get it working on switch already do that, to be fair

[glass flare]

I wonder if that will also increase base building limits on console. As well as increasing settlement performance

[mint lynx]

Now you're speaking my language
I hit the base limit part regularly I have like 8 saves too

[runic mesa]

True. Switch 1 is already optimized as all get out.

[inland viper]

I kinda wish we could move stuff by half blocks rn

[runic mesa]

To be fair, Steam and Mac aren't there either. 😛

[inland viper]

Cuz im really struggling not to make a cube corvette

[glass flare]

looks like PC and Switch 2 got occlusion culling back in a Beacon patch actually https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/601906267549640598/

not sure about poor Mac

[main crow]

How do I trade for modules for my corvette?

[runic mesa]

The exact same "Switch isn't getting it obviously" paranoia happened with WP1. Then it dropped and ran flawlessly. 😛

[modern mica]

Do we know when the expedition will start?

[mint lynx]

Mac, switch 1+2 & PS4 are still Sol

[mint lynx]

That was pre beacons tho and random as hell lol nothing indicated that

[mint lynx]

September 3

[runic mesa]

Fair

[inland viper]

Man, i forgot an essential thing for this update

Im kinda bad at building stuff :[

[modern mica]

Thank you ❤️

[pliant aurora]

Im hyped af for it

[glass flare]

I see a Mac build in the ticker, unless this is a false flag

Public branch has been updated
New build
Build 19754095 (Wed 27 Aug 10:59 GMT)

[mint lynx]

Ohhh I guess I was mistaken I was told by a friend they didn't have it on mac yet

[violet forge]

How does the barter system work? I thought I could trade 3 photon cannons for the torpedo launcher, but no, apparently?

[pliant aurora]

I just dont know what new gameplay features those boats could bring to No Mans Sky.

But im sure Hello Games will surprise us like always

[glass flare]

I doubt boats are coming to NMS, I think Sean just means that the tech is being used for boats in LNF, and that tech is now being used for Corvettes here

[pliant aurora]

Yeah maybe thats it because I was confused on it.

[calm vault]

When does the new expedition start?

[mint lynx]

September 3

[inland viper]

Oh, the engines only have one connection point

I got no room for the guns rn

[runic mesa]

Just squash all my dreams, why don't you. 😛

[glass flare]

I shouldn't rule anything out!

[runic mesa]

I mean, the start time for the exped was modified from August 27th to September 3rd. Maybe HG knows something about the PS4 and Switch that we don't...

[vast delta]

it cant be that odd for devs to have a rough timeline for the certification process, can it?

[runic mesa]

It isn't. Switch delays have a long history with NMS

[thick wing]

I’ve seen some with the new armor already, how do we get it

[ebon spoke]

New armour is unlocked by default

[runic mesa]

I'm almost certain Nintendo being slow pokes is partly why it it doesn't start for a week

[vast delta]

makes sense

[thick wing]

In the appearance modifier?

[ebon spoke]

it was for me at least

[runic mesa]

There was a past expedition that was actually extended on Switch only because Nintento didn't get a fix out in time before it ended.

[azure nexus]

Any bugs in this update ?

[inland viper]

Idk yet, i have spent the last 1 hour and 20 minutes building a corvette

And i just realised i made an oversized fighter starship for 20 million units

[azure nexus]

Make sure to have your data backed up with this update

Last update was a roller coaster of bugs

They needed 3 patches for the game to stabilize

[mint lynx]

I'ma stay up tonight again to see if we get the update let's get this bread as the kids say lol

[azure nexus]

What platform are you on ?

[runic mesa]

Cinder is Switch 1 like me

[inland viper]

I think i built my way out of my cockpit

[runic mesa]

I wouldn't. Nintendo don't do evening drops. I doubt it will be today. My guess is Tues/Thurs next week

But the day after has happened. Aquarius dropped on Switch the day after ISTR

[sinful gulch]

Why is my corvettes door closed for my friend?

He can’t come in

[runic mesa]

Is there anyway the mods can do a post to curb the Switch doomsaying? Premature, but it feels like Echoes all over again.

Because I'm already seeing a lot of assumptions being presented as fact.

[gloomy isle]

I don't see why switch wouldn't get it tbh, corvettes are hard ish to run at times but not anywhere near as bad as settlements

And HG were very forward that switch wouldn't be getting those

[runic mesa]

Yeah, that's my thing. If Switch 1 isn't getting it, I'm certain HG would have said

[inland viper]

I have no idea how to enter the cockpit

[gloomy isle]

They support multiplayer, but everything they offer works perfectly well in single player too

[inland viper]

Nvm, i forgot i have 3 layers on this thing

[runic mesa]

That seems where the assumptions are coming from. Already saw one claim that Switch 1 isn't getting the expedition but the 2 is, because 1 doesn't have mp. Based on literally nothing.

[gloomy isle]

Yeah it's a pretty baseless claim for people to be making. By that logic, switch wouldn't have the nexus or nexus missions either

[runic mesa]

And oh look, we do

Anyway, Switch has already run expeditions with optional mp milestones. You just... don't do them.

[mint lynx]

It's already Thursday for me lol by the time you're in the release window I'll be in early Friday morning :p

Hence staying up lol

It's easy to explain becaon away but it still happened now the door to switch missing content from updates is opened
It can't be shut

[uncut harness]

This chat has a bad habit of calling opinions they disagree with baseless and other assorted negative adjectives you get use to it, I was told I was being baseless too when I called the mass effect update 🌄🤷🏽

I too am waiting for the switch update though 😞

[violet forge]

I wonder if 40m is maybe stretching it for this project.

I wonder if I could make it even longer. 🤪

[uncut harness]

There a 100 part limit tho

[violet forge]

Yeah. I haven't counted yet, but I think I'm already halfway there. 😅

I haven't thought of how the game wants me to create access to additional floors, too.

[inland viper]

Damn the corvettes are slow

I dont even have real room for upgrades

[violet forge]

Mine's maneuverability is currently sitting at 327

And it's 4 habs long.

[runic mesa]

Fair. But people are literally trying to make factual statements about a port update that hasn't even released yet. We literally don't know. I get being cautious. But we don't know. I could be wrong, Cinder's fears could be right. It can go either way.

[uncut harness]

Let's wait and see what happens tomorrow before we doom post during the labour day weekend

Long weekend no updates coming

[glass flare]

Do Corvettes have a class type, or or are they all equal? What about shielding and weapons, are those determined by part rarity or RNG or...

[runic mesa]

I mean, I have another game I'm actively playing right now anyway. 😛

[glass flare]

(still at work so just living vicariously right now)

[uncut harness]

I'd say it's reasonable to expect something to be cut from the switch version
I'd lean towards the new graphics not the corvette tho

[runic mesa]

I'm probably getting a Switch 2 in October, so this will likely be moot for me soon. 😛

[runic mesa]

They can simplify the building and I'll be cool. I just wanna skydive. whine

[uncut harness]

I don't have a reason to get a switch 2 yet
If I want a slightly better looking NMS I gave a PS4 copy too... Which also don't have the new update yet wtf

[runic mesa]

Right, where's all the PS4 dooming, huh?

(I'm JOKING)

[uncut harness]

You better not hope the 5 remaining PS4 players see that

[runic mesa]

hides

[inland viper]

Is the rotation feature bugged or are the radiator vents legit in just one rotation?

[glass flare]

as a former PS4 player I already doomed on that years ago (but apparently people still play it, gods know how)

[uncut harness]

The switch PS4 switch 2 and Xbox one are all pretty equal

There's not really a reason to buy a switch 2 but I'm not tryna be a hater 😂

[runic mesa]

It's probably just Nintendo being themselves. Switch 2 is delayed too.

(And yet we got WP2 day 1. Make it make sense...)

[glass flare]

Maybe the WP2 dev cycle allowed them to submit to Nintendo cert earlier. Explorers feels like it's coming in a bit hot

[violet forge]

I got it up to 352 by making it longer but shorter. o-0

[uncut harness]

Aquarius had a slightly delayed release if that helps

[runic mesa]

Day after, if I remember correctly

[uncut harness]

All I know is it wasn't day one and people were pretty annoyed missing the fishing update lol

[runic mesa]

WP1 was what, a week?

[violet forge]

363 by fully removing the third floor. o-0

[runic mesa]

All the Switch AC fans took it personally.

...it's me. I'm fans. 😛

[inland viper]

I gotta upgrade this corvette man

[uncut harness]

I agree wp1 wasn't anything special so no comment there
Respect snow worlds getting better tho

[misty egret]

How do you break the protective casing, boltcaster not cutting it hmm

[gloomy isle]

I'm like 99% sure there's going to be a space POI update next year

[runic mesa]

Bet you anything I'm right about no fourth exped this year. Not with how buggy this update is already

[gloomy isle]

There's probably not enough time anyway tbh

After the big summer update they usually wind down a bit

[azure nexus]

Welp there is a new dup in this game lol

[inland viper]

Since when can you take fall damage in the anomaly?

[uncut harness]

They said in their update blog this update took the most work so it probably is the last one

This year not a doom post lol

[glass flare]

heresy. new water and clouds were bringers of life

[uncut harness]

Sure it was cool but it's not really anything hype like corvettes or deep oceans feature wise it's just immersive and looks good

It's the producers not the band.

People come for the band

[glass flare]

it's about all about the A E S T H E T I C S

[gloomy isle]

I really want stuff like exploring derelict corvettes etc now

Space POIs where we have to float around to access

That being said it's crazy how different it feels to be in space when you're not chained into your seat lol

Much less disconnected from the surface gameplay

[glass flare]

now that everyone has indoor occlusion culling (except maybe Mac? 😢 ), I hope that means we might get stuff like ground-based procedural dungeons

[uncut harness]

When was indoor even lagging I have no issues besides plantery archives

[glass flare]

I think it's more like it would allow more detail indoors, I'm guessing. like cool rooms plus a lot of mobs to fight

[timber crescent]

But otherwise, this update is really well executed.

New animations and game rules, I'm a big fan. Just desperately need that meta game lol

[uncut harness]

NMS Is like Minecraft that way just dumps features on you and says go do something with them

[runic mesa]

Real talk, they better stop with the constant expedition exclusive ships now...

[gloomy isle]

Perfect opportunity to give us themed ship parts instead

Solar ship, sentinel ship, atlas ship, etc etc

[uncut harness]

The upcoming exp don't have a ship
Infact the rewards kinda suck

A companion and a gun for your new corvette

[runic mesa]

Yes, but those can just go in my storage, so it's already an improvement. 😛

Also, what's the excuse for no shuttle fabrication now, HG, huh? 😛

[misty egret]

We need a lot more customisation options with this. Everything feels too cubed

[uncut harness]

Shuttle fabrication got delayed twice now actually
Solars now this

[misty egret]

And grey

[uncut harness]

Corvettes are kinda reminiscent of shuttles to be fair
Clunky and put together

[gloomy isle]

You can paint it tbf

[violet forge]

I got the maneuverability to 378.5 but adding a third reactor, then removing it, and just continuously moving everything forward. o-0

[humble kayak]

you could make the kessel run in .5 parsecs with those numbers

[violet forge]

I'm not an exploiter of any kind, so this just seems too easy, and weird. :S

I still wish I could send a screenshot here just to showcase how... kinda ridiculous it is. XD

382 by removing a couple of the 2nd floor habs, and moving my two boosters there instead.

[runic mesa]

Annnyway, going back to my other game. Will return if there's any more news

[uncut harness]

What's the other game tho

[lyric whale]

how does one find the new corvette

[violet forge]

It's available right away through a typical space station. Fly into one, then look toward the sides to find teleporters to the four corvette landing pads. A construction computer is located there, where you can purchase starting parts, and technically have your first corvette after around 5-10 million units.

I might have went overboard and spent over 40m on my first one. 😅

Now my question is, is there anything I can take from my starship and to my corvette?

I just added a phase beam I had as an extra from storage.

Cooooool. 0u0

[glass flare]

Do corvettes use the same weapons/shields/hyperdrive upgrades as normal ships?

[mint lynx]

Im surprised you can't keep your mech in your corvett I think it's reasonable to expect that to be coming though

[violet forge]

I tested it, and it seems true. I seemlessly moved multiple upgrades from my starship to my corvette as if it was just starship to starship.

Now I just need more storage upgrades so I can move even more of my starship stuff over.

[violet forge]

Given the size of the habs atm, I actually wouldn't until you can edit the floors, get multiple sizes, or both..

The mech is about two floors tall.

[dense quartz]

🤯

[violet forge]

Niiiiiiiiiiice!

[runic mesa]

Sorry, lol. Fantasy Life i

[graceful wolf]

has anyone else run into the issue where they just dont have enough space for their corvette parts

[mental socket]

Yes. And it appears we can't utilize this thing at all either

[glass flare]

So what places can we find corvette parts out in the wild? Game basically gives you no information

Ah I finally found a guide

[ivory hawk]

you can probably buy maps for it

[uncut harness]

Hopefully switch sees the patch tomorrow
Using a Corvette is the perfect reason for a new playthrough

And I need my white fix it's far too bright

[dense quartz]

You get a quick tutorial telling you you can find parts on planets with salvagable scrap.

[runic mesa]

Patch notes mention salvage containers, derelicts and sometimes drops from pirate battles

[glass flare]

Yeah, salvageable scrap seems the easiest but I dunno if there’s rarity levels

Boy there’s a lot of just general bugs right now

[mint lynx]

More buggy then relics was you'd say?

[glass flare]

Definitely

[runic mesa]

When Switch gets it (being optimistic), I'm already planning a smaller scale build. Like, just a cozy little bar, bedroom and living area. Basically a flying hotel room with skydiving.

[mint lynx]

Damn that sucks relics was extremely broken

[violet forge]

I've been seeing my fair share, too. I think I just had corvette salvage part become inapplicable.

[mint lynx]

I got my fingers crossed switch gets it today

[runic mesa]

That would be cool

[earnest nebula]

this is a VERY buggy update but it's my favorite. I can't wait for more patches to come out

[violet forge]

Also, who here thought the torpedo launcher was actually a housing for the cyclotron weapon?

[runic mesa]

They'll be patching this until the redux tho, lol

[mint lynx]

Color me surprised it's so buggy I didn't think you could do worse then when relics broke all kinds of systems

[runic mesa]

Interceptor 2: Electric Boogaloo. 😛

Man, the Twitch drop rewards are so meh too. Just a few expedition items and all stuff I already have.

[mint lynx]

This one's cool

[runic mesa]

I have all the capes. But yeah, that one is cool, definitely get it, if you don't.

[glass flare]

All the AI pathing in my freighter is broken, all the NPCs just stand in place, turning around infinitely lol

[violet forge]

Yeah it's time. I just lost another piece. I think it just got morphed into a lesser one!

I had a titan hab, and it just turned into a thunderbird one!

[cosmic anvil]

Think the hype is over maybe slowmode can be turned off? 😅

[molten karma]

Has anything been datamined from this update?

[sour fossil]

No because we needed tools to read game files updated first

And that happened just a couple hours ago

Considering timezones where EU was waking up and Americas went to bed, I doubt anyone stayed up late to look through game files

[safe quarry]

I think an update of this size is bound to have bugs, it might not look like as much on the surface as some superficial updates, but this is a substantial update! Just making corvettes feasible would have been a monolithic task for the devs so well done! I still think they put the expedition back to give themselves time to catch all these bugs, I wouldn't be surprised to see it pushed back more if they get a lot of zendesk reports.

I've played both on my own and with friends using corvettes tho, and I think they're worth it whatever kind of player you are ❤️ This is the kind of updates I like to see most, not a gimmick feature that we'll have a little play with for a few hours and then park (tho some who don't vibe with corvettes will do that, and that's okay!) but one that can redefine the way you engage with all parts of the game.

I was going to try that Starfield out if this wasn't corvettes, but now i'm not sure I will. I might just to experience something a bit different, but i was most excited to try the buildable ships. And well...

I hope down the line we get some race themed habitat interiors. Gek/Korvax/vykeen/autophage. You can make an argument for them already being for each race I guess but I'd love to see more options added say through the quicksilver store.

[clear citrus]

The exterior customization is pretty much perfect, just wish the interiors weren't limited to the layout of the hab/walkways.
Hope there'll be a update that lets you merge habs to be larger or higher

[safe quarry]

((Also HG, we guessed so many geatures of the corvettes that I'm starting to think you really are listening in! Can you guys turn the quicksilver store into a grid with pages, rather than a list <3))

[safe quarry]

I agree with this too, and also a generic wall we can put in to cut off doors without having to put a feature there.

[clear citrus]

Yeah

[ebon spoke]

Interior doors too, please

[safe quarry]

I don't know how they would give us the option to merge rooms. Maybe the same as place a wall feature, but instead just opens up the entire wall instead?

[ebon spoke]

and an airlock without a ramp would be useful

[safe quarry]

I built rooms for my friends but right now there's no privacy 🤣

I wonder if they'll do like they did with endurance and catch a few of these and add them in patches.

I feel some, like a generic wall or a feature to open up a wall entirely, aren't too hard to implement.

and a door might take a bit of design and modelling, but its not too much to ask.

Maybe the issue with doors is they might clip through the walls as they open? But surely freighter ones do the same.

Probably also why other people using doors don't animate for you.

OH! And another thing, have the build limit not count decorations inside.

you have a 100 build limit for the corvette, but then when you decorate there's no limit but its still counting it towards the build limit. So if you then go back to edit your corvette design, you can be at like 250/100 on the build limit.

Which means the only work around is to design your corvette and commit to the framework before putting in any decorations.

((but I definitely don't want them to fix this by making the 100 limit apply to both ship parts and decorations.))

[gloomy isle]

How restrictive is the 100 part limit? I can't see myself hitting it unless I'm making something really big

[safe quarry]

I did hit it on my second corvette. only just

[near steeple]

I hit it quickly but I made a mid sized one

[safe quarry]

Especially if you like putting a lot of the exterior features you will hit it quickly.

[gloomy isle]

Aah okay. If you're on pc apparently there's already a mod that uncaps it

[near steeple]

Yeah I had to mod the game just to fix engin placement. I hope they allow moving parts without worrying about the cap

[safe quarry]

That's good to know, i hope other people can still see your corvette without the mod. I would think so

If you wait to put on things like windows, you can do that in decoration menu and it won't count.

[near steeple]

Well it does but it dont check cap unless you in the builder.

[safe quarry]

I would imagine the intended design with this is that corvette frame parts count towards the limit and decorations don't. I hope once it's patched, thats the way they go rwith this.

[safe quarry]

Yes sorry, better way to explain it.

[gloomy isle]

One way to deal with it atm could be to just remove and replace all the habs, but then you have to completely redecorate every time lol

[safe quarry]

Yup that's the other way hehe

strip all the decorations if you want to make build edits in the corvette editor.

[gloomy isle]

I like doing cozy spaces and stuff but I'm glad I'm not too creative with the smaller pieces 😂😂

Also, side note, you can put decals on the outside of your ship

[safe quarry]

I get way too detail orientated with lots of little nicknacks in my cosy spaces ❤️ so i need that unlimited build limit.

[safe quarry]

oooh i didn't know this!

[near steeple]

They need to improve it a bit as it really locks console players into a design after adding interor stuff. As far as I seen consoles don't struggle with the stupid complex stuff from modded PC builds so don't know why the low limit.

[safe quarry]

I think its an oversight rn, I just hope the 'fix' goes the way i want.

I'm not bothered by the 100 limit but it should only apply to ship hull parts.

[gloomy isle]

I think the same goes for basically all the parts you can place inside the Corvette too (I've seen people flying around with skulls on the front and stuff lol)

[safe quarry]

That's neat. Can put a lounger on the top of my ship (if sitting didn't currently eject you into space hehe)

I like the fact people can ride on top of your ship.

[near steeple]

It shouldn't when I just stairs up to top I would have gravity to walk up there

[clear citrus]

only hit it making this but it only really has two habitat modules
it's a lot of excessive parts everywhere on the outside too so

[safe quarry]

that looks so cool. where's the cockpit???

[clear citrus]

it's hidden cause I only use third person anyway

and the cockpits look odd with the design so I just figured I'd hide it instead

[safe quarry]

Makes sense!

[ebon spoke]

I didn't even consider you could do that

[gloomy isle]

Someone on reddit made their corvette into a literal boat! I've seen people making gardens and stuff too

[near steeple]

Hopefully next update we will get more variety of parts like a shuttle cockpit

[gloomy isle]

So much stuff you can do and I'm pretty sure they're going to keep adding parts

[safe quarry]

I definitely think we will see more parts down the line ❤️

[sour fossil]

Most likely, we have a framework in place, now it's a matter of populating it with more parts

[gloomy isle]

One thing I want to see is walls and doors, for internal arrangements and accessing the outside

[gloomy isle]

I feel like corvette parts might end up replacing expedition ships going forward

[sour fossil]

Wouldn't be surprised if we got some kind of royal / exotic modules or Autophage themed ones

[gloomy isle]

Sentinel interceptor and solar too

[near steeple]

Faction themed parts would be nice that can be got from settlements/ space station as certen ranks of standing.

[sour fossil]

I actually like this idea more

Because I'm sick of expeditions introducing customisation bits for ships

When people have been starved for ship customisation for so long

Getting people to do work for guilds gives everyone a chance to get these parts

[safe quarry]

Me too. I think the corvettes parts open up more options for things we can apply to the ship we love, rather than a neat new ship we will fly for two minutes.

I've always thought standing with guilds should come with cosmetic rewards. Kind of like how in Sea of Thieves they're a cosmetic status of your achievements.

[gloomy isle]

Sets based on the main races would he excellent to see

[safe quarry]

Different looks for your character too, like ostentacious trimmings for merchant lord or whatever the last title is called.

[safe quarry]

Yes I mentioned this too. I'd like some race focused habs.

[gloomy isle]

I also have a feeling that they're working on some space content that involves EVA to either do it or reach it. Corvettes feel like they'd be perfect for a hub for on foot based space content

[near steeple]

They even can have parts available be based of the conflict lv and economy to decide if more combat parts like weps are available or storage.

[indigo smelt]

What is there for the crew to do on a corvettes aside from things that can be done on a base? I find it disappointing how there is no gunner seat and a limit of 4 turrets(per type I think?). We're flying bricks, I can expect more armament. Although this update can merely be the basics.

[gloomy isle]

I do feel like the corvette is going to become a way to access a good amount of future content

Purely because it's a big link between on foot and space gameplay which was essentially seperate before, aside from derelicts

[near steeple]

Yeah a system like for railjack from warframe would be cool for combat so 1 pilot 2 gunners and 1 repairman.

[ebon spoke]

A hangar section that could fit a normal starship would be sick

though I'm not sure the Corvettes are big enough for that

Drop pod module too!

[clear citrus]

rn corvettes have quicksilver missions

[near steeple]

Eh just allow other ships to fly up next to you so you can jump out the hatch and hop in a different one.

[ebon spoke]

Oh yeah, the cargo linkage or whatever it's called looks like a docking port. They could even do something like that that you could 'land' on, without needing a full sized landing pad or hangar

[safe quarry]

ooh that's a good way to get around the fact that a hangar for a regular ship would be quite big

They also need to add the EVA option to regular ships. (maybe they have?)

[ebon spoke]

A bay to hold small exocraft would be a cool corvette part, I feel like they've definitely at least considered it already

[near steeple]

They have not unfortunately

[safe quarry]

That's a shame, so no way for someone to get out of their smaller ship and float into your hangar

Another feature that feels small and easy to add i would have thought. Just a quick menu option when in space.

[gloomy isle]

Has anyone else noticed that skydiving isn't just an animation? It's faster than regular falling and it has a full on glide mechanic. You can go so far lol

[near steeple]

A part that holds the trade rocket so you can just fire that off would be useful.

[gloomy isle]

It honestly feels like a wingsuit

[safe quarry]

I wonder if this is partly brought over from LNF too. maybe a freefall mechanics before deploying your paraglider.

[near steeple]

I believe they said it was testing LNF stuff.

[safe quarry]

the corvette mechanic yes, makes sense that the freefall is too i guess.

I suspected when we heard about corvettes that it might be tech for boats in LNF... but i had also hoped it might mean airships too.

[indigo smelt]

The problem with starship docking is that some starships like Haulers are rather large. Corvettes aren't frigates. I can see a "fighter bay" for a remotely operated starship however.

[ebon spoke]

The boats thing is funny, that's one of the first actually confirmed gameplay mechanics we know of for LNF now lol

[gloomy isle]

This update has me very excited, it's like they've opened up an entire new corner of the game to expand

[ebon spoke]

the EVA system feels like its opening the door for a lot of exciting space features

[near steeple]

It like they played a bethesda game and thought "we can do better" and so they did

[gloomy isle]

Oh for sure. Imagine the possibilities

Gotta keep an eye out for the 10 year anniversary now 😂

The amount of work that went into just being able to spacewalk and dynamically start walking again on surfaces is insane. No way they're not doing more with it in the future

[near steeple]

Can't wait for minecraft dropper like bases to be built

[indigo smelt]

I wonder if this means that LNF has custom boats using the same tech. Dry docks replace landing pads.

[indigo smelt]

Skydiving doesn't recognise base parts yet, only the ground. Probably a bug.

[analog breach]

Bug Report time

[near steeple]

Well to fall though rings that wouldn't mayyer

[safe quarry]

Sean confirmed it in the deep dive for the update 🙂

Well that there would be multicrew boats, I suppose we don't know if they will be customisable but it would make sense if they are!

[gloomy isle]

The convenience of having what's essentially nexus missions in your ship is great. Especially now you can just tell your ship to go there and dive out the back lol

[zenith perch]

Stuff like this isn't easy as far as I know cause of player desync and whatnot.

This update has had areas of the game reworked to handle the Corvettes already

[glass flare]

is the landing hatch supposed to open and close? because it didn't do anything when I pressed the button

I spent quite a bit of time just trying to dig up parts, and then about an hour trying to make something that didn't look complete crap. I wish you could walk around inside a ship before you finalize it. Anyway I'm not too impressed, I doubt I would ever use a Corvette. As a solo player it doesn't offer me anything

[safe quarry]

Oh I just mean letting a player be able to EVA from their smaller ship.

Which would just be the same as 'teleporting' out of your ship only it puts you in the floating in space state alongside your ship. I imagine the technical challenge would be to have the smaller ships be able to 'park' in space same as corvettes can.

[gloomy isle]

Has anyone tried jumping out the back while in pulse drive?

[safe quarry]

But it might be the path of least resistance to being able to transfer from your personal ship to someone's corvette in space.

Even tho some way to land or dock onto a corvette would be the cooler option ^.^

[cloud plume]

Hi, quick question, how to corvet?

[safe quarry]

Go to a space station and infront of the landing pads you will see a terminal 🙂 that or use one of the 4 teleporters beside the kiosks to get to them quick!

[cloud plume]

i litteraly spawned in a space station and noticed nothing, i am legaly blind XD

[safe quarry]

hehe

[gloomy isle]

Found this on reddit lol

[sour fossil]

Fun little fact, HG saw the reddit post complaining about the illogical description of the ramp base piece (or got enough reports about it) and changed it with this update

[cloud plume]

everything can be bought for a quick start or do i need to craft parts?

[safe quarry]

oh this is what you were talking about? That's so funny. someone's been watching treasure planet!

[sour fossil]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1mgrjei/literally_unplayable/

[cloud plume]

okay time for Flint's ship from the treasure planet animation

[safe quarry]

Immersion restored!

[sour fossil]

in other news, lots of spelling fixes for the word maneuverability and derivatives, now it's manoeuvrability

[cloud plume]

another question, are they affected by the station in a similar way as crafted ships?

[safe quarry]

what do you mean sorry?

as in can you land on stations etc? In which case, yes ^.^

[cloud plume]

like the stats, are they affected by the station where you assembled the corvet or no?

[sour fossil]

we don't know, we just got them

[safe quarry]

Oh I'm not sure. I think its more down to what modules you use.

[sour fossil]

And people havent exactly jumped in to do proper testing

[cloud plume]

XD

[sour fossil]

Also no, there was no datamine yet, we just got the tooling updated couple hours ago

[cloud plume]

damm, well i'll discover that, is the corvet assembly definitive or can you go back to it later?

[sour fossil]

I believe you can modify existing corvettes but I havent played enough with it to know for sure

[gloomy isle]

You can, yeah

[sour fossil]

Might wanna just ask in general chat, people have been going crazy with designs since yesterdya

[safe quarry]

You can, tho there's a bit of a glitch with decorative bits counting towards the build limit

[sour fossil]

Correct me if Im wrong but did y'all say there were no internal doors for corvettes?

[safe quarry]

so best to make the frame first until you're completely happy before adding interior decorations. and no doors sadly

[gloomy isle]

Airlocks and internal doors would be amazing

[sour fossil]

BLD_BIG_DOOR0_NAME_L
Internal Door

BLD_BIG_DOOR_DESC
A heavy-duty doorway, allowing access between habitation modules. These doors will be automatically sealed in the event of a hull breach. This module is installed into the wall of a Corvette Hab.

theres this text entry in language files

[cloud plume]

noted, thank you ^^

for advanced parts i need to trade similar parts? ex. cockpits for cockpits?

[safe quarry]

link @ebon spoke, they will be happy to see its in the files at least. Maybe just didn't make the cut in time for launch? Like the freighter stairs.

[gloomy isle]

I remember after endurance, they added several new parts pretty quickly in the weeks following launch. Stuff like stairs etc

Internal walls were another I think

[safe quarry]

I think we will get internal walls for sure, and hopefully kind of the opposite, a way to open out a wall so we can merge habs.

right now we have to put in one of those functional features to close off a doorway, just need a version of that which is the basic wall both sides instead.

I could be talking rubbish, but i feel both of those would be relatively easy to implement? And probably the doors if they're already on the way. Maybe some issue that caused them to pull them for now, I noticed the hologram buddy acts funny when flying.

[cloud plume]

oh god the corvets are so cool

can i kiss the devs?

[safe quarry]

I've been waiting for them since they got datamined. So happy

[gloomy isle]

Half sized habs and stuff would be great too

[safe quarry]

The walkways count as half habs? Unless you mean even smaller!

[cloud plume]

okay i can finaly make that supermassive industrial ship

and a flying palace, because after years i should have one

[safe quarry]

I wonder what Starfield is thinking now, since they have just been shown up by a small indie team ^.^

I haven't even played it and I could see from videos that the ship was all smoke and mirrors hidden behind animated load screens.

[cloud plume]

starfield never had a chance

[safe quarry]

I don't think they would up the minimum spec, with ps4 and others still on.

[safe quarry]

Oh I see, makes sense. that happened a while ago didn't it? I guess they've just caught up?

I am curious what tech is making corvettes work, because i had a glitch where i saw my friend distorting weirdly around the corvette when she said it was the wrong size for her.

[uncut harness]

Guys did the planets change kinda?

[safe quarry]

So I wonder if its doing some interesting things behind the scenes to render outside the corvette?

[safe quarry]

I don't think anything about this touched planet generation?

[uncut harness]

No but I heard a few people mention that lighting and such looks kinda different

[safe quarry]

I've not seen any changes. oh maybe, they do keep tweaking the lighting. WP1 went one way, then WP2 went another.

[uncut harness]

in the deep dive sean mentioned that they kinda had to revamp everything a bit to make this happen

[sour fossil]

Material files got changed, meaning everything looks a bit different now

[safe quarry]

As long as they keep the generally bright aesthetic, i'm happy 🙂

[sour fossil]

Even if textures or lighting conditions were not changed directly

[uncut harness]

ah ty so it has to be that

[safe quarry]

There is something in the patch notes about player rendering and reflections.

[gloomy isle]

I've noticed stuff looking a little better but I wasn't sure if it was placebo

[safe quarry]

"Localised hero lighting illuminates the player character independently of the environment, ensuring you always look your best, wherever your explorations take you."

I'm not sure how i feel about that, hehe.

[sour fossil]

I know but Im not an expert when it comes to this kinda files

I just know they were changed, like all of them

[safe quarry]

Sean did say in the deep dive that corvettes left virtually no part of the game untouched.

[gloomy isle]

So excited to see what comes after this

[sour fossil]

Oh yeah they did

[molten karma]

Planets look much better now tbh. They appear more vibrant and remind me a bit more of traditional NMS

[safe quarry]

I love the new lighting WP1 introduced, NEXT made this so muddy

[sour fossil]

New ship type = new distribution of ships in systems, new camera data to make offset for bigass ships, new parameters for handling, landing and all kinds of maneuvers, new technology modules, etc

[molten karma]

I kind of wonder how long they were working on this.. I remember turrets being datamined a long time ago.. I wonder if this was connected to that leak. Wasn't that from NEXT or Beyond?

[safe quarry]

I don't think that was for Corvettes, those were for bases. But I do wonder if you could argue they've been thinking about it since they started work on Orbital.

[sour fossil]

planetary base turrets were datamined

But that was long before my time lol

[safe quarry]

Either that or it was just dumb luck the managed to resize the station hallway for something as big as a corvette. But I suspect they did it with the intention of introducing a bigger ship type.

[sour fossil]

We have no insight into development process, for all we know they could be working on this for 3 years

The new space stations were leaked a full year before they got into the game

And that was just the exteriors, the shapes you see in space, nothing about the new interiors

[safe quarry]

This is why I think, tho it's one feature, this single feature was a mountain of work.

And for me at least, it reinvents how i will be engaging with the game going forwards. So its a wonderful addition ❤️

[ebon spoke]

The station hallway is wayy bigger than the old ones were. At the time it seemed like it was just to make more clearance for ships taking off, since they used to clip through the ceiling sometimes but I think you might be right

They did have to change the floor of the hallways to be flat though, so maybe not

[safe quarry]

mhm. I remember when they bumped the ship sizes up for beyond and the VR the clipping was an issue for the longest time. But the new hallway was almost over compensating until now.

[safe quarry]

That could be that they didn't want us catching on to what was coming sooner than they were ready tho?

4 flat conspicuous looking landing pads might have got speculation going. And no need to leak a feature until you know you can pull it off.

I will miss the little signal lights guiding you into the station along that hallway... unless they're still there?

Its funny how I theorised a handful of ways corvettes could be made to land on planets, but how HG just managed to do all of them hehe.

Like even dropping in from low orbit. Tho we don't have a teleporter down to the planet, then again do we need one?

I did notice if you teleport to a base computer, it puts a teleporter down for your corvette just in case it spawns out of reach.

[ebon spoke]

You can beam down to the planet, I think the option might only come up if you set the autopilot to take you to one?

The button next to the boarding ramp, on the other side as the lever

[gloomy isle]

If you skydive the teleporter appears too

Incidentally it's more of a wingsuit mechanic than a free-fall

[ebon spoke]

ah, thats where it comes from. I kept seeing that teleported but it only appeared sometimes, I couldn't figure out what was making it appear

[gloomy isle]

Yeah I think you need to trigger the skydive animation. When I was too low and didn't do the dive, I don't think I saw one

[cloud plume]

Hum slight duplication issue

also my game is lagging quite a bit when loading the corvet

[safe quarry]

oh that's good to know, where does it appear? Because sometimes my corvette refuses to be summoned, hehe

[safe quarry]

oh then they really did add everything! I will have to try this.

A few small niggles aside, I adore this update. Bugs will be fixed i'm sure, but this feels like an addition that's been thought out.

[gloomy isle]

Usually directly underneath, it should appear when you use your visor

[ebon spoke]

I wonder if Corvettes could lead to them doing Steam Workshop support again? Back when base building was first added you could upload bases to the workshop for other players to import to their saves. It doesn't make sense for bases anymore since they're obviously reliant on terrain shape but importing cool corvettes is something I'm sure lots of players are interested in

[gloomy isle]

That would be fantastic

[sour fossil]

huh

HG might be experimenting with adding procedural tech upgrades for Rocket Launcher weapon system

There's a new "template" object for proc gen upgrades that mentions rockets

There's also an unused tech called SPIDERBRAIN which seems to be a unique tech blueprint, prolly for expedition purposes

Cause it looks like a copy-paste of the Archive Implant from Emergence exped

[safe quarry]

oooh any idea what it might do?

[sour fossil]

prolly just used for storytelling

Having players have it installed to progress some check / milestone

Anyway, now comes the truly depressing news

[safe quarry]

I wonder if it's for the upcoming expedition?

[safe quarry]

uh oh!

[sour fossil]

The 5 more decals that were datamined from Beacon files (like the stone guardian, the bone soup) have been moved 1 place up in the QS research

Meaning HG is reserving next round of QS research for community milestone for expedition

[runic mesa]

So 19 is going to have community milestones.

[sour fossil]

Meaning they still haven't learned fuckall about making an expedition that can be played from start to finish without introducing artificial roadblocks

[safe quarry]

Does make me interested in what goodies we'll get tied to them tho?

the stone mech parts don't feel like they'd fit the theme.

[runic mesa]

They have been including cool stuff with those, like legacy expedition items

[safe quarry]

These are a bit different to the optional milestones that give you an expedition item. These are usually an optional one that contributes to a community meter to unlock QS items. Not sure if Switch gets them!

[gloomy isle]

I would have said corvette parts but those would have been dug up from the files by now ig

[safe quarry]

The idea being that doing the optional milestone in the expedition contributes to them unlocking in the QS store.

[runic mesa]

Yes, I know. And yes, Switch does. I was referring to the optionals in Omega. Which rewarded past expedition companion eggs.

I've played every expedition since the 2022 redux, fyi

[gloomy isle]

I guess it just depends on what they want to do with it

[runic mesa]

The fifth community milestone in Omega was a huge deal for Switch players at the time. As it rewarded the Cartographers biological horror egg. Which had never been available on Switch before.

[analog breach]

Any past exp rewards in twitchdrops this time?

[runic mesa]

There was a huge push from Switch players to get that meter completed lol

[runic mesa]

Not many. And nothing I don't already have.

I was really hoping for the cave creeper, but nope

[sour fossil]

oh hello

There's a whole ass research tree with corvette parts, prolly used for development

[runic mesa]

The cave creeper and the ghastly jetpack trail are my two biggest legacy exped item wants. I'm really hoping for an Emergence remix this year.

[gloomy isle]

Is it the same parts we have access to rn?

[sour fossil]

heh nope

non existent corvette parts

Lots of unused IDs, game doesn't recognize them, goes 404 and crashes

While this might seem like a bad thing in general, there's 1 use case that makes me happy this thing exists

If my tinkering is correct, there should be about 100 corvette parts in the game now

This is ofc modded, part of one of my own mods

[analog breach]

I hope its less than 120 corvette parts total

[sour fossil]

omg

no fucken way

[analog breach]

What

👀

[sour fossil]

In the save data template there's a new list called FreighterFleet, featuring 8 slots for what appears to be the same data format used to store stuff for a singular freighter

[late tusk]

ngl the stuff in exped 19 doesnt really intrest me

[sour fossil]

Corvettes cap at 4, correct?

[runic mesa]

Multiple freighter ownership?

[analog breach]

Idk if its 4 .I dont have the update yet

[runic mesa]

sad Switch and PS4 violin

[analog breach]

Rises fists in air at sony hq general direction*

[gloomy isle]

Wait does this mean we could possibly have 8 freighters warp in at once?

Even if not it lends credibility to the idea that there's a lot more space stuff to come off the back of voyagers

[sullen jetty]

😢

[sour fossil]

Nobody can tell the implications, all I see is: new data in save file, has 8 slots, seems to fit the same data format as used by 1 freighter

[sullen jetty]

When will it launch to switch

[sour fossil]

How it will be handled in game, only time will tell

hmm, interesting that they have the cargo box. I did notice the cargo parts are essentially much more detailed versions of the ones you see on freighters

I wonder if this could all be pointing to a potential freighter overhaul?

[sour fossil]

what the hell

There seems to be a whole ass mission chain added, called WORLDSM...

No text entries exist, but the mission structure is there

[gloomy isle]

I'm wondering if it might be freighter building, or if we can own extra non capital freighters like npc fleets

[icy citrus]

Weeeeee

obj1: go to a korvax library. speak to the librarian.
obj2: hack the library with some atlantideum.
obj3: build the purple drive
obj4: go to a purple system and use some waypoints
obj5: try to contact the purple star

Those are comments left by HG in one of the mission structures

Living freighters when

[icy citrus]

Sweet

[sour fossil]

You know what I think this is? Let me put on my tinfoil hat

[icy citrus]

Multiple freighters would be pretty neat, visually

[gloomy isle]

Huh this sounds cool

[analog breach]

Korvax library? Planetary archive?

[fervent fern]

That's very exciting. They are still cooking on the lore I guess

[sour fossil]

pulls hat down I think this will be a quest for another free weekend action, where players will have access to this special mission chain that will allow them to experience Worlds Part 2 content

[ebon spoke]

There was something else called WORLDSMsomething wasn't there?

[sour fossil]

Yeah Winder found one product, like an Echo Seed

I say it because I dont see a reason to give recipe to Atlantid Drive only after speaking to couple NPCs (and yes, Library is term for planetary archives used in game files)

So instead of slogging through the whole storylines like normally, players would load it, get this special quest line to unlock purple stuff FAST as a promotional thing

[analog breach]

Or its a expedition thing

[fervent fern]

"Skip tutorial" thing? I actually like the fact that purple systems require some playtime

[sour fossil]

I dont think it's an expedition thing because this was found in file that hosts "proper" quests, specifically the Autophage ones: METADATA\SIMULATION\MISSIONS\TABLES\NPCBUILDERSMISSIONTABLE.MXML

Expeditions and their milestones have a different file

Also if it were expedition related, there would be checks / properties to ensure player is in expedition mode for them, instead these ones have <Property name="AutoStart" value="AllModes" /> property

[gloomy isle]

Could be a fast catch up to opt into when you make a new save. Could be especially useful if there's another important questline coming up next year

[sour fossil]

I dont know anymore, it's a lot of stuff to unpack really

And having no text for objectives / descriptions doesn't make it easier

So I'll leave it for now

[gloomy isle]

Another thing for people to make pacts over 😂
