Nope it’s randomized, I got blue gold with horn

[rugged sonnet]

Calypso galaxy.

[mystic ginkgo]

😻

[stray smelt]

I have never seen this color combo before, this is the Rycempler galaxy (159) coords are in the second image and glyphs in the third. It's gorgeous, Single thruster hammerhead.

It's icey blue with black detail

[paper dune]

That’s rlly nice might need to nab that one

I should’ve got my first ships cords looks identical with gold

[stray smelt]

oooh, nice!

I found a mint green one as well.

That one is in Euclid

[paper dune]

Posted two last night I liked the purple and yellow enough I took it, cause the under glow matches I wish that could change

That’s nice one too

[stray smelt]

I have a bunch of purple and gold colored ones, but they are mainly the shark headed ones

I post all my finds on reddit that I think are worth looking at.

[paper dune]

Yea a horn purple and gold would be really nice find

[stray smelt]

like the long nosed shark head with tusks?

[paper dune]

Ye like the ones above I like that front horn

[stray smelt]

I think this is the closest I've gotten to that color scheme, but it's a more cream color

[paper dune]

Pink and cream looks good together

[stray smelt]

it's a good color scheme. this is the gold with grey pink

lol, I found this guy, wish it had the mohawk, but it's green and gold

This is the true color of that purple one I posted

[patent grail]

@stray smelt No mohawk is better, high tier for Maneuverability 😉

[winter obsidian]

anyone have like a photo of the solar class ships?

[stray smelt]

I am still looking for one like this but with the red skin. It's elusive lol. @patent grail really?! I didn't know that there was a difference between the armored pieces and the performance on the ships!

[paper dune]

Makes sense w drag tho

Last nights first roll didn’t get cords unfortunately

[patent grail]

@stray smelt The first part procgenned for each ship type governs maneuverability tier, for Fighters its the Thruster, Haulers the Cockpit, Explorers and Shuttles Body type, and Solars the Wingtips

[patent grail]

Exotics are weird, Silver trim is low tier, Gold is mid, and Squid is high.

[stray smelt]

Squid tier?? What do you mean?

Also, I have never seen this color combo before, it's red and gold.

the planets there all had red and gold ships

@winter obsidian sorry, I thought i had a nice solar ss in my files but I don't see it 😦

[patent grail]

@stray smelt Silver trim ball exotics have max 432.5 core maneuverability, gold trim max 443.5, and only squids can have 445.0

[stray smelt]

ooooooooh

[winter obsidian]

somehow my friends planet is glitched… i have 3 of these now

everytime i claim one, another pops up

[woeful flicker]

First wave?

[woeful flicker]

Squid

[woeful flicker]

Is there a rare sail with solar ships? Are the sail colors just rng? I'm not very experienced with the solars but I've come across a couple of nice designs so I might start hunting them as well

[tacit schooner]

I'm confused I can't find it

[paper dune]

It’s a lotta rng, it’s worse bc you can’t see sail color till after it’s bought unfortunately, im still lookin around for an all white with white hex sails

[plain panther]

you can always do what I do, follow people out of the space station to watch the sails open or park by the front to watch as they fly in, nothing awkward about it or anything...

[paper dune]

True true

[plain panther]

jokes aside, crashed ones do thankfully show opened sails in the preview

[paper dune]

I see some nice ones flying around but I suck at finding where they land

[woeful flicker]

There can be white sails??

If you take the sail tech off one...a certain color, if you apply that to a ship you like does the sail color transfer?

[plain panther]

not sure if this is 'white' or 'blue' for sail color, but as for the tech itself, the sails part of the ship itself so trading the tech around won't modify the physical design of the ship, as amazing as that would be

[woeful flicker]

Ahh that's neat!

[timid siren]

kinda not possible to find a living ship without it being another player's or doing starbirth

[pale oyster]

huh?

[timid siren]

they were talking about finding the ship, correct?

[pale oyster]

if a player posts glyphs, coords, and galaxy for a living ship, players can find it using a specific method

[timid siren]

that was a living ship

[pale oyster]

?

[timid siren]

they replied to images of somebody's living ship

[pale oyster]

right

[timid siren]

this

[pale oyster]

right

[timid siren]

you cant find living ships normally

[pale oyster]

I do

[timid siren]

explain

[pale oyster]

I take a void egg, teleport to some other galaxy than the target, activate the egg, come back to the right galaxy and portal there and to the coords, land, reset mission

[timid siren]

did that work before doing starbirth?

[pale oyster]

no, one has to do the initial starbirth before being able to do second one and on

[timid siren]

I legit said you cant find living ships without doing starbirth. what you just explained would include doing starbirth

[pale oyster]

ok, my bad, I never saw that they had not done starbirth, missed that part

[timid siren]

btw, you can get another living ship from just getting another void egg and going to where you got the first one. you can buy a new one that way

[pale oyster]

@timid sirenI am talking about getting a specific looking one that people have shared and look amazing, not just any average one

Like this one I garabbed a couple of weeks ago for someone

[timid siren]

interesting.. so basically the thing you can do with the first one thats just reload the save to get a new ship model?

[paper dune]

Nah reject egg and you’ll get new model

It’ll put back into inventory

[pale oyster]

to get that red one I just posted, yu have to go to that exact location

that is why people share glyphs and planetary coords for the living ships

[timid siren]

It seems strange that its possible to do that

[pale oyster]

give it a shot

[paper dune]

I got a problem I’ve replaced half my ships w living lol

[timid siren]

Im building a low orbit base right now, but Ill try it when I'm done or at a good stopping point

[pale oyster]

@timid sirenping me when you are about to do it, I'll add more specifics on a couple of things

[timid siren]

ight

[timid siren]

is there a way to turn cracking void eggs back to a normal one?

[pale oyster]

I have no idea

[timid siren]

gonna guess not possible. In that case, Ima need a while to get a new one

[pale oyster]

people give them away in the anomaly if you are on a platform where you can ask

[timid siren]

I dont have xbox live

[woeful flicker]

[pale oyster]

this made me look twice, a little unusuaal

A shuttle I almost dont want to vomit on.

[stray smelt]

Hey, just found a gold and purple

No mohawk but it's pretty

Rycempler galaxy

@paper dune

[tender flower]

what is the best way to find exotic ships?

[woeful flicker]

Yea that's different

[paper dune]

Nice, it’s got* good base maneuverability and tech slot spots i will def check that out

[paper dune]

A lot of waiting around and checking places or going to cords, Exotic spawn anywhere any system class

[woeful flicker]

If hunting blind...rng... otherwise you can use nmsce. I generally hit a station, reload, watch a few waves, reload... watch again and then if nothing i hit the planet trade posts and repeat.

I just dismantled that orange squid this morning so I can have room for other things.

[paper dune]

Nice purple/blue flat horn and crown

Elucid

[paper dune]

All white mini hauler, same system

Or actually no it’s not my bad, but Elucid

[woeful flicker]

Euclid

[woeful flicker]

^that one spawns frequently fyi

[bold meteor]

I wish you could find black tri wings

[smoky surge]

either its a first wave or its the regular 1/300. chances are you got a first wave

[pale oyster]

not sure if updates have changed this, but 'back-in-the-day' we saved sites for scrapping that had 2 exotics spawning frequently, sometimes together, in the station

[split breach]

The first wave mechanic is still in the game

But the Endurance update changed something about ships spawning system

Star systems that were first wave systems in the past may not be first wave systems after that update

[full dragon]

Euclid?

[full dragon]

Euclid?

[pale oyster]

I think so, I did a reverse image search on Google and found the post on reddit from 2 years ago that shows the planetary coords

[rugged sonnet]

Calypso galaxy. Pirate system

[pale oyster]

pretty good looking

[rugged sonnet]

Also in the same star system as above, there two ugly but valuable S class crashed ships on the same planet. (i forgot to screenshot the planet name but you should be able to work it out by scanning the resources avaliable.)

[rugged sonnet]

yeah i always thought the barrel body, horizon wings and single thruster all match quite well

[pale oyster]

@rugged sonnetI like barrel and heavy barrel, you don't have to run around or jump over their noses.

[rugged sonnet]

same vibe with this viper i found the other day

matching square profile on the body wings and tail

although the viper colors aren't as good the stats are almost max for dmg and agility

[woeful flicker]

Euclid..Purple rectangle sails

Euclid

It's actually grey with light blue accents

[inner minnow]

Euclid

[uneven tree]

Ugly? My friend, this red hauler is awesome (if it's actually red)!

[rugged sonnet]

i really dislike the offset cab on haulers. symmetry is king.

[willow dagger]

Anyone know where I can get one

The nmsce doesn’t have the right one

[bold meteor]

Look up videos

the color yellow is hard to find ngl

red seems more common

possibly

[willow dagger]

Will do thanks

[fluid pagoda]

bana

get from fruit store

[fluid pagoda]

it's equal, lol

they come in not very many colours, pretty even spread of each

[unique moat]

couldnt find anything about it but i find yellow pretty often

[fluid pagoda]

yeah, I find blue super often so it's completely different for everyone

there's not enough exotics one of us will see to draw a proper conclusion lol

[unique moat]

yeah

we honestly need more exotics in the game tbh

[smoky surge]

hold on a sec

540 systems average per "region"

4.2 billion regions per galaxy

256 galaxies

I cant find accurate data on the % of all systems that are abandoned/uninhabited, neither can I find the % of systems that are red stars. for this reason, i'll be generous and say 20% of all systems wont have any ships

thats about 4.6*10^14 exotics

total

so definitley plenty of exotics

[winter obsidian]

@bold meteor For me it's the other way around. Yellow and black are everywhere and red and black being scarce.

[harsh temple]

i just found this with 3 charged spots next to each other

i bought it but it do be a bit ugly

runes if anyone is interested in where it spawned

[smoky surge]

almost looks great tbh

only the wings and top fin make it iffy

[harsh temple]

i don't really like yellow very much tbh

shocked to see such and expensive ship in a medium supply

[woeful flicker]

White, grey, blue

Thought the colors were interesting

Don't care for the big fin

[pale oyster]

heavy fighter = more slots. Ship prices are based upon number of slots.

[harsh temple]

Its more I thought ship price was an odds game based on system wealth, and this system wqas medium so it being a bigg and expensive ship was what shocked me. I was just buying ferrite dust off people cause i ran out lol

and this guy comes along with a big boi

[tender flower]

what are yalls thoughts on explorers with no wings

me and my friend call em fleas

[pale oyster]

remind me of Black Knight in Monty Python after arms are cut off

[woeful flicker]

^this

[lone rover]

I was wondering if anyone knew where to find a ship with these parts in orange and black with orange sails?

[tender flower]

got my explorer ive had since day one on this file to 2026 ly :)

[winter obsidian]

@lone rover Pretty sure sails don't come in orange. Just Blue (light cyan), purple, red , yellow, green.

[proud lodge]

My third squid in about 1,000 hours of playing the game. Hilbert Dimension. Nice grey and black.

[patent grail]

@winter obsidian @lone rover Sail colours

[winter obsidian]

@patent grail huh, good to know

[woeful flicker]

Euclid

[lone rover]

The one I currently have is solid orange

[bold meteor]

Just used 1 billion on my ship for storage.

my friends are gonna help me get more

also landed in a pre loaded station and found a orange big fin forgot to take pic sadly

[woeful flicker]

Euclid

Ship hunting is fun 😁

[harsh temple]

ooohhh i like that one

pointy

[harsh temple]

Is exotic ship storage size fixed?

[ionic marten]

Found today in Eissentam

[zenith lotus]

Almost all the ships have about the same max storages.

[pale marten]

My findings

[open ember]

When searching for a specific ship, how many should I check per system before going to the next to be time efficient?

[zenith lotus]

Glyphs and galaxy?

[zenith lotus]

20 unless it's an exotic then in that case 1.
Because there are exactly 21 ships per system and 1 is always an exotic.

[open ember]

well I'm looking for a specific explorer, and there aren't 20 explorers per system, are there? Also my thinking was, the chance of getting another new ship gets slimmer the more ship you have already seen, so if I just go to the next system after lets say 80% of the ships, I see more different ships in total... Assuming ship generation is truly random (at least as far as we players can see, any seeds on the backend are irrelevant here), it definitely is more efficient to leave after a certain point, even if you still haven't seen 1 or 2 ships in your system

[split breach]

Each system has 7 shuttless

Korvax systems have 7 explorers + 3 fighters + 3 haulers

Vykeen: 7 fighters + 3 explorers + 3 haulers

Gek: 7 haulers + 3 explorers + 3 fighters

Each system has 1 exotic starship models

Outlaw systems have a high chance to replace any shuttle with a solar starship

Regular systems have a small chance for that

[open ember]

Ok imma do the math when I should leave a system

[winter obsidian]

Math? It's easy, looking for a fighter? Best chance Vy'keen system count 7 different fighters then onto the next. Why over complicate it?

[split breach]

It means, if you are looking for an specific explorer, and you saw all the 7 or 3 models in current system, and none of these models match, you can go to the next system

Since you have seen all the explorer models in current systems and game will not spawn more models, only different instances of these models

[pale oyster]

@open ember what exactly are you trying to find?

[open ember]

When to switch system to see the most amount of ships for a type in the least amount of time

[pale oyster]

@open emberI meant explorer

[open ember]

oh

https://external-preview.redd.it/risYtd7Odyuxk7BLSbpCSGBNjrkQMfPF0lHP1Bvgmgo.jpg?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=5c51e21dab889fe3162ba79a984cce74faa0df00

this one, but with back antennas

[pale oyster]

@open ember

[open ember]

But back to math:
Assuming 7 ships of a type per system, with 21 total
The probability P for your first ship to be a new ship of that type is 1/3, or 0.3333333333
P2 for the next ship to be a new one is the probability of it being of that type, minus the probability of it being the exact same type you found before, so 1/3 - 1/21*1/3 = 0.3174603175
P3 for the third: P of that type, minus P of having found one before, minus P of having found another, or in short, 1/3 - 1/21*P2
We can generalize that to Pn = 1/3 - 1/21*P(n-1)
Assuming let's say 6 ships per wave, we get on average 1.776492224 new ships of that type for the first wave, 1.325645849 for the second, etc.
If we add that up, 5.380357859 ships found on wave 5
6.625251334 on wave 10
6.91329161 on wave 15
6.979937634 on wave 20
... i.e. diminishing returns
Now I don't have any times yet, but I would guess if you switch to the next system after about 5 to 7 waves, you're gonna be pretty efficient with seeing the most amount of ships of any given type in the least amount of time

[open ember]

the right most one is almost it, so close, but I don't like the square cockpit. ty though for the effort

[pale oyster]

@open ember
https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/r6hu5i/explorer_white_bubble_hopper_glider_chin_spikes/

@open emberif you grow weary of searching, there is always asking one of us with an editor to produce it for you from a seed:
https://imgur.com/a/rVhGcGP

[open ember]

that reddit post has a front antenna, which I don't like, and I kinda enjoy actually finding one, instead of editing one in...

but really appreciate the help, tyvm 😊

[zenith lotus]

This also can vary from system to system, but some times you will want to fly into a system, save, then reload in the new system to be sure you are seeing wave 1 spawn.

Also at the station you may get different spawns than at a trading post.
But over all eventually all 21 ships Will spawn at either.
And most people swear by trading posts. But the wave 1 for the post and the station can be different.

[open ember]

tbh I didn't really include wave one in my calculations

I like trade posts more, since you can park your ship on the ground and thus have one more landing pad available for ship spawns

[zenith lotus]

Wave 1 is mostly all set spawn ships though the exact order of them landing may be different

Also the station has 8 pads.
The trading post has 7.
Landing at the station and parking on the ground at a post is still 7 available landing pads.

[open ember]

TIL

in that case, trade posts are just more atmospheric (pun intended)

[pale oyster]

@open emberif you don't mind being very active in searching, this is how I find which ships are in a system. And when I really want a ship, I use a save with only one ship in my fleet so that 6 NPC ships can land:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se6QVabdZrs

I pulse for 8 seconds, then summon freighter, use comma key to scroll thru all spawns

[open ember]

ooh, that looks interesting. I might try that, thanks for the tip ;)

[pale oyster]

I find it a pretty fun way

[tender flower]

what do i gain by upgrading to s class? better overalls and a new supercharged slot?

[split breach]

And higher limit of inventory slots

[patent grail]

@zenith lotus Regardless of the number of pads, only 4 ships land per wave at the space station, and 5 per wave at Trading Post if your ship doesnt occupy one.

[woeful flicker]

Today I have found no exotics. But I did find a better version of my solar so it's still a win in my book 😁

Was running this guy

White and cream, 4 thruster, grapple wings, light blue sails

Found this, looks more menacing in my opinion

The colors are actually black and white. Dark blue hex sails

Always landed as an S tier 🤷‍♂️

[winter obsidian]

do you guys have any good strategies to find exotic ships?

[zenith lotus]

My strategy is to search for all the crashed ship locations in the entire system. And if I'm lucky I'll find the exotic as crashed for free and can scrap it for ship mods.

[winter obsidian]

that’s what i was thinking of doing

do you just buy distress beacons to do that?

[zenith lotus]

Nope.
I use nautilian scanner for drowned ships.
And I use the signal booster for distress signals
And the exocrafts for crashed ships and freighters

Also can use nautilian for drowned freighters

[pale oyster]

I tried a new one today that I had read about; had a freighter battle that comes every 5 warps and 3 hours, and after killing the pirates I scanned thru the friendly ships to find the exotic, then shot it, and it followed me into the space station

[proud lodge]

I go about my game and just hope I stumble across one. Seem to find a ball exotic about every eight hours of gameplay. It's too frustrating for me to just look for an exotic.

[patent grail]

@pale oyster That only works for nextgen

[pale oyster]

I don't know what the difference is

[patent grail]

@pale oyster PS4 and XB1 are oldgen only

[pale oyster]

what happens for them in that scenario?

[patent grail]

There simply arent enough defenders to guarantee Exotic spawn - every time I encounter a battle with 5 hostiles I check, and have yet to see an Exotic defender once.

[pale oyster]

interesting

[small sundial]

A big boy for anyone looking

[woeful flicker]

That's a good find. This is the medium sentinel tho I think.

The biggest one has 7 sections instead of 5.

[tender inlet]

Yes

[winter obsidian]

Euclid

[undone cypress]

not bad, stats seem good.

likely going to scrap it, I don't really need a fighter.

Euclid... almost what I want. Just need the mini wings and big double thrusters

But hey, it's white

[inner minnow]

euclid

[upper pendant]

Ty also I think you cant have the moveable thrusters and tiny wings

Since they would clip

[woeful flicker]

No not the side ones, the rear big ones @upper pendant

Like these:

[upper pendant]

Oh I see... I may have seen the coords of one looking exactly like what you're searching for... I wont ruin the pleasure of the hunt if you're doing it for fun, but if you want those just ask

[woeful flicker]

Awesome. I'll keep that in mind. I am enjoying the hunt for now tho. I've come across so many. Eventually I'll get it or maybe I won't 😁 it killed me to dismantle an orange squid i found but i can't keep them all 😆

[upper pendant]

I know the pain... Wish we could have an expo mode where we put them on display but outside the active ships

[rugged sonnet]

i found a squid yesterday doing this but it flew trough the freighter and disappeared and i couldn't keep track off it. i got a screenshot with the glyphs tho. gona go back now and try to find it.

[pale oyster]

@rugged sonnetwhat platform are you on?

on PC, I can either use middle mouse to lock onto ships, or comma and period keys will scroll through every ship within radar and hold onto them so I can chase them down

[undone marsh]

Euclid

Euclid

[rugged sonnet]

on pc yeh. i couldnt get it to lock on to friendly ships. i was just using comma to try and scroll tho. didnt know i could lock with middle mouse as i have that bound to something else

[pale oyster]

comma is good enough

[rugged sonnet]

i just tired again and figured out why its not working

if there is a bounty target nearby it wont let me lock to a friendly ship for some reason

[pale oyster]

I killed all the pirates first, then scanned friendlies

[rugged sonnet]

this is a pirate system so they keep respawning

i have been trying for hours to get it to spawn but no luck so far

scrapped about 30 s class ships tho

i should be able to get another freighter battle soon so will try to re-warp back in to the system

im assuming i can get the battle to spawn here again as i have never actualy tried to trigger a battle in a system that i have already battled in

nvm found it

but its flying off in to space

away from my freighter

[pale oyster]

squid nice

can you chase it and get close enough to use photo mode to check the color?

[pale oyster]

nice

just caught this one 2nd wave at trade post

[paper dune]

I ran into the same bug at that red living ship you posted there’s like so many landing pads around where it spawns an npc takes it and ur able to buy lol

Broken tech

Went back on alt

[pale oyster]

@paper duneI don't understand

[paper dune]

Basically as soon as I get up to the ship, it takes off and flies around for a few seconds and lands on landing pad and an npc will hop out and ur able to buy it for units with broken tech, it’s really strange and funny

[pale oyster]

@paper dunewhere is there a landing pad?

[paper dune]

Like two fairly close to it, I activate quest again after I get out of portal and boost over to it

[pale oyster]

oh, player bases?

[paper dune]

Ye

[pale oyster]

LMAO

[paper dune]

It’s some weird bug w them landing it’s so funny

[pale oyster]

do you have multiplayer on or off?

[paper dune]

Off

He was chilling w the ship lol

[rugged sonnet]

Calypso galaxy.

[paper dune]

Double super, nice

[grand tinsel]

Nice showing the slots, good idea

[rugged sonnet]

it has taken me 3 hours to hunt it down. spotted it during a freighter battle yesterday but lost track of it.

when it finally spawned next to my own freighter it decided not to land so i followed it through space for 20 mins. it flew to a planet and just kinda bounced of the atmosphere. and just stopped suspended in space like it didnt know where to go

so...

i shot it once and flew to the nearest system freighter making sure it was following me

landed on the freighter and it landed just after me.

[pale oyster]

I wonder if you shoot it out in space and summon your own freighter, or summon your freighter then shoot it, if it follows into your own

[rugged sonnet]

probably but my home freighter is full of ships so it wouldnt be able to land

probably why it never landed in the first place xD

well i think there were 5 of my own ships on it

[pale oyster]

I thnk DH said there are always 2 slots reserved for NPCs

[rugged sonnet]

i guess the other ships that spawned with it took those spots

and instead of waiting it just decided to do its own thing

[pale oyster]

but if you summon again after following it, maybe it will be free

[rugged sonnet]

true

[pale oyster]

I'll try to remember to do it next time I am hunting with my freighter

[rugged sonnet]

it never occured to me before that you would be able to "lure" ships like that by shooting them

[pale oyster]

unfortunately it landed in my freighter straight away LOL

Here's the location to a free one, just got my 1st one in the wild, can get back there to pinpoint coords if you want

It's blue with golden trim

[woeful flicker]

Very nice! I'm strictly looking for small fins or squids. But for some reason I get obsessed with finding what is in the system so I spend a lot of time waiting around 😁

You've got patience of a saint, this is the 1st thing I randomly found on a lost world,

Hahahahahaha ok sounds good.

[fluid pagoda]

what y'all think? left or right

[patent grail]

Left likely has better core maneuverability

[fluid pagoda]

it doesn't have the right slot layout so I'll be save editing it onto right anyway

if I use

seems to be quite a majority, ill stick to right

until i find better

I really want a good ship WITHOUT a mohawk

[woeful flicker]

Oh in that case, the left one is hot 🔥

I had to stop hunting living ships because I couldn't decide and they took up all my slots

Hilbert Dimension for the gray exotic in the left photo. This game save of mine (~35 hours in) is turning into my gray and red ship save. (The shuttle is an early game S class, the solar is actually orange and chrome/metallic, but close to red and gray).

That looks almost exactly like mine down to the colour all there needs to be is just a shit ton of frigates

[final hazel]

how did u find it and how long did it take to spawn at trade outpost?

[rocky helm]

Euclid

[proud lodge]

Randomly found it, was just playing the game. I landed at the trade outpost, was at the trade terminal and heard it land. (I was not reloading or waiting for an hour). Maybe I just got extremely lucky, who knows? Good luck.

[final hazel]

What kind of crew? Korvax?

[left copper]

392 base dmg potential is good?

[uneven tree]

It's not base in this case. Check the actual bae through your visor.

[rugged sonnet]

from what i understand the best core dmg for a fighter is around 358(the core number you see when you look through your visor) and the best bonus roll (the yellow part of the bar) for a fighter is 90 so best possible total dmg potential is around 458.

core dmg is tied to the seed of the ship whereas the bonus roll is RNG when you buy a ship.

i could be wrong tho if someone else could clarify

im going off the values in this reddit post
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/ybmje5/s_class_ship_maximum_core_stats/

[rugged sonnet]

its also worth noting that once you have your ship the dmg potential is static. meaning it doesnt matter what weapons and modules you add it will always show the same value. when adding modules and things you should hover over the primary weapon module and check dps values there.
this is unlike the maneuverability where the value you see will change and increase the yellow bar as you add pulse engine upgrades. so to check base agility you have to remove all mods that affect that stat and also make sure the pulse engine isn't in a supercharged slot.

[wary garden]

does someone have that chart of the different possible parts for all the ships? or just per ship type?(solar,explorer, etc)

[zenith lotus]

I have the individual ones

Shuttle one kinda blurry
I can't find a better picture that's actually good.

[eager oxide]

You can also combine ships on https://nms.center/ and get a overall impression of how it will look like 😉 (even if you don't use the related customizer bot)

Explorers and shuttles and even freighters previews are also on the way to that web app. Just needs some more days max

[zenith lotus]

I mainly just use these pictures to see what's possible.
I don't hunt for ships that are a certain way. I just play the game kinda normally and any time I see a ship I like I take a picture of it with glyphs and galaxy.

But knowing you cannot find a royal fin mosquito nose single thruster v wing with side boosters is helpful

[eager oxide]

Yeah it helps to know what parts can be combined with what exactly. Thats what all the charts lack.

[zenith lotus]

I think the charts do a pretty good job explaining. Only 1 part from each section can be on the ship at once.

But some of the ships like the explorers can have 2 different wings

[eager oxide]

Yep you mean the asymmetrical ships. Btw there can be 454.116 different explorer combinations, ouch

[rugged sonnet]

@wary garden Of what ship type?

[wary garden]

all of em total

[zenith lotus]

Galaxy?

[rugged sonnet]

this is why i have no faith in the stats system. after logging back on today all the stats of this ship have completely changed.
all the numbers seem arbitrary. the core stats seem to mean nothing. i feel like the only thing that makes any difference is the bonus roll and the ship tech modules stats.

[patent grail]

@rugged sonnet It's simple - unless it's your currently active ship, the stats are always inaccurate.

[rugged sonnet]

it was my active ship

look the original screenshot after i bought it above

this is just after i bought it

[patent grail]

Oh, okay, then I have questions. What did you do with it between the first and 2nd screenshots? I've heard of bonuses being rerollable but have never been able to trigger it myself

[rugged sonnet]

so now i feel like if i want to accuratly check a ships stats i also have to reload to get an accurate reading

nothing i flew it to my freighter. used the freighter planet scanner and uploaded the discoverys and then logged off for the night

logged back in today and the first thing i noticed was the stat change

[patent grail]

Cool, thx - installing any piece of tech should prevent it from rerolling like that in the future

[rugged sonnet]

oh also i the first thing i did was delete a shield module

then flew to freighter and logged off for 12 hours

[bleak kernel]

All the cordinates I find are outdated is there any way to find the update d ones?

Ok

[paper dune]

I’d leave ur previous freighter in that system your gonna try to warp so it’s easier to find or just warp super close to it 5 times

Does the base have a Landing Pad? If so, should also warn people that it's a race against an NPC scavenger who wants to fly off with the prize, lol.

It was crashed

[sacred cosmos]

😔

[rugged sonnet]

you can post the glyphs anyway. just use photomode and they will be in the bottom left of the screen

[sacred cosmos]

Oh ye, but that was photo mode? Im guessing i needed to press a button or get to a certain mission?

[rugged sonnet]

no sometimes they fade. you just have to click and they should re-apear

[sacred cosmos]

Oh alr thx

[rugged sonnet]

nice ship btw

[sacred cosmos]

I was too poor to buy it

3 mill off just thought someone might want to know where to get it

can anyone help me with finding a ship I don't have the thing unlocked to travel everywhere yet

[tender inlet]

@winter obsidian i checked out that crashed ship posting i shared in #nms-questions, and the ship is there, in all of its S-class glory:
https://nmsce.com/preview?i=e604b80b-609c-40ff-87e0-f8fe7117ed8c&g=Euclid&t=Ship

it's easy to navigate to, as someone made a base you can look for.

One of the nicer ball haulers I have seen. Nice and compact. White with teal/light blue highlights (the pinkish color is ambient light).
Eissenstam

Found a couple of the weird offset ones too. Again, Eissenstam.

Well... isnt this just the spot for good looking ball haulers.

Too bad they dont have the shields

Same ship as the first. Just in better lighting.

Yup im on my way now to that location

[mellow elk]

Looking for this for weeks… someone som tips or help?

[woeful flicker]

1 short. That one flew into the station on the 4th wave then at a planet trade post came in on first wave. I reloaded to see if it would 1st wave again but it didn't.

I'm gonna scrap it if you want it @oak marsh

No rush

[oak marsh]

ooooh... how do we do that?

[woeful flicker]

I'll exchange it to an npc in a station and you grab it from them

[winter obsidian]

Omg

[oak marsh]

LoL. I just started a brand new run like 3 days ago. I am flat busted and just getting everything going. Go ahead and scrap it. But it's good to know for the future.

[winter obsidian]

Found it

[oak marsh]

Appreciate it though!

[winter obsidian]

Thanks

[oak marsh]

That hauler is pretty boss

[woeful flicker]

@oak marsh I can join you, give you the credits you need and then you can buy it. But again, up to you 😁

[winter obsidian]

What should i do

And is s class

Has 23/63 cargo

I shall upgrade it

[oak marsh]

@woeful flicker Naw. I wanna buy it on my own. I need that carrot dangling from the end of the stick.

[winter obsidian]

Like max it out

[dreamy crypt]

Claim

[oak marsh]

@woeful flickerBut thanks again. Scrap away. How much should I be saving, btw? Someone gifted me a butt ton of money the last time around and I didnt even bother looking at the price tag.

[woeful flicker]

I think that one was 15-20m

[sacred cosmos]

Ik its a really bad sc but i wasnt even looking for it and i found the exact capital freighter i wanted. The massive star destroyer looking one sadly b class tho

First freighter ever cant wait to mod it out

[woeful flicker]

Cool

[winter obsidian]

Thanks

Now how do i take the red things out of stash?

Like those

Is taking inventory

[timid siren]

They work the same as broken stuff. just fix em and it gives you that space back

[dreamy crypt]

You need to fix them

[sacred cosmos]

I normally fix the basic stuff and then sell the ship, im way too lazy to fix everything

[winter obsidian]

Ok i will fix everything then

What are bes mods or what is best for that

[surreal sapphire]

yep, just find materials and apply them to the broken parts. you may want to make a list of the materials and quantities you need so you know what to look for.
you don't need to fix all of the slots at once. if you're having trouble finding a given material, just let it go for now and fix those slots later.
one other thing: this may seem like a pain, but recognize you got a hauler for which you'd have to pay about 65M for free. i'd call it worth it.

[winter obsidian]

What u mean?

Thanks

[granite urchin]

u gotta fix them

[haughty birch]

Oh ok

Thanks!

[worldly yew]

What’s an efficient way to find a good ship? Also which is better, a hauler or freighter?

[harsh temple]

A freighter is not part of your fleet, its like a moving base. You don't get to drive one but you can do a lot inside of it, you should have one from an early encounter.

Good ships depend on what you want, a fighter has more attack, a hauler has better shields and an explorer has more hyperdrive sistance

distance*

shuttles and exotics are more like all rounders

the higher the economy in a system, the better the ships are, besides black market economies, which has the highest at S. The thing is with the S ranks there is they are usually still cheap, aka, lacking a lot of storage modules

if you're early on but you have decent money, going to a wealthy economy and looking for a decent a-s would be fitting

[worldly yew]

Perfect! Thank you 🙏🏻

[harsh temple]

race will matter in what spawns, with gek having haulers, vy'keen having attack and korvax having explorers

they all get every type, its just more of that type in those systems, besides black market, where you get solar, a somewhat unique class

[worldly yew]

Great to know, if I could tip you I would 👌🏻🫶🏻

[cold wren]

I wish we had the coords ;_;

I'm about to have a squadron of these!

Sick find

[clear bronze]

how do you get Exotics?

[grand tinsel]

Patience, there is one in every normal inhabited system, and odds are there will be one in most Outlaw systems. They just have a low spawn chance, 2% for normal, 5% for Outlaw

[silk cape]

you can find them at trading posts and then buy them

[clear bronze]

are Exotics found crashed/sunken or do they have to be bought

[silk cape]

i think they have to be bought, ive never seen a broken one

[grand tinsel]

They can be found crashed, low odds there as well

Any ship you see in a system, can potentially be found wrecked.

*Excluding the pool for pirates

[clear bronze]

is there a way to know if a system has an Exotic or just painfully check every inch of every planet

[grand tinsel]

If it isn't an Outlaw system, it 100% has an exotic

[silk cape]

do they have multiple variants or is it just this

[grand tinsel]

Outlaw systems can replace any ship with a solar model, so there is a slight chance they won't have one

[grand tinsel]

There are variants, you can check the pins here for the different types

[silk cape]

ty

[grand tinsel]

They have far less variety than other ships though, for sure

[patent grail]

@grand tinselEconomy has zero effect on spawn rates for Exotics, 1 in 301 regardless of economy. And Outlaw systems will always have 1, it's the only type that cannot be overriden by Solar.

[grand tinsel]

Yeah I was thinking S for no apparent reason

Game files say different for the solar override on exotics

[silk cape]

So in outlaw systems, there is only 1 exotic combination?

[patent grail]

In any race affiliated system, always 1 exotic

[grand tinsel]

From Gumsk and Pixy

Supposedly, 21 solars is theoretically possible

[patent grail]

@grand tinsel I'm pretty sure itwas Gumsk who attempted to force a Solar override of Exotic via mod, and found that it is impossible - the system would only spawn 20 ships, the conclusion being that Exotics are exempted from Solar override through some other means.

[grand tinsel]

And I didn't mention economy

[silk cape]

But you can get infinite exotics in one solar system or am i wrong

[grand tinsel]

Correct

[grand tinsel]

Let's get him involved @cunning briar

I want accuracy

[patent grail]

#nms-legacy-ships message You didnt say the word economy, you did reference economy spawn class probabilities.

[grand tinsel]

Ah, I see

Thanks

[patent grail]

YW 🙂

[cunning briar]

Correct, when I forced everything to exotic and then forced 100% override, I couldn't get anything to spawn.

[grand tinsel]

Sweet, so Exotic guaranteed

[silk cape]

sorry for the stupid question, but whats override?

[cunning briar]

Not necessarily, it could be that if an exotic is rolled as an override, it just won't spawn

[woeful flicker]

They're testing in editing

[cunning briar]

So you might end up with a 20-ship system

[grand tinsel]

Hmmm

[cunning briar]

Or it could be as you said, exotic is guaranteed. I don't know which and not sure how to test it

[woeful flicker]

1 exotic type per system

[cunning briar]

Override is how solars are determined, they override what the ship would normally be

[silk cape]

ok

[grand tinsel]

Yeah I dunno, might need brute force to help with that one - nothing springs to mind right away

[patent grail]

Mjstral tasked the bot and had it running for days to find a 19 solars system, no telling how long itd have to run to try and locate a 21 system, especially without knowing whether it's even possible

any other sudgestions from anybody?

Living ships are fun but take a while to obtain

like ships that are from other npc?

(reminder that the planet doesn't matter, each system just has a specific set of ships you'll find on any planet or space station)

and that the best method for finding said ship is a trading post

No but you can do nexus missions and collect units to buy one from an npc

[covert lodge]

ah true thank you'

[scarlet mica]

It's a normal ship. Just go anywhere in that system.

[scarlet mica]

Map/Exocraft Radar.

As long as it's not an uncharted system.

[covert lodge]

ahh okay and how do you suppose I obtain one?

[scarlet mica]

Elaborate. One as in which.

[covert lodge]

A map or exocraft radar

[scarlet mica]

Maps in space stations.

Radar is either doing the quest, or Anomaly.

[covert lodge]

Thank you very much

[shell bloom]

I finally did it. After almost 5 hours of ship hunting, I found the S-class freighter I want.

All that stress and tiredness, wiped away

[paper dune]

I’m suprised they didn’t throw that into this update letting people upgrade freighter so no one has to grind for class

[tender inlet]

Yes

After an hour of grinding I finally gave up and got an a class

[paper dune]

Keep up the grind it’s worth if you get a ship that matches s warp potential

Also keep note you still prob can’t change bridge color so it’s stuck on when choosing freighter

I don’t change it anyway all the selected colors look off, went looking for 4 hours for red and black s

[sour pier]

Does the "reload on space station" trick still work? Congrats by the way!

[shell bloom]

Yes, but it took me almost 5 hours still

Thank you

I'm stoked

But now, my game infinitely crashes due to using a derelict freighter finder.

Bro, I had to get stabbed in the back for finally getting what I wanted xD

[sour pier]

Every star system has one exotic in it's spawn pool. Odds are 1 in 301 for finding one at a space station or trade outpost.

Best way to "farm" an exotic is to go to a trade outpost, and wait it out until one appears. Also bring about 20-30m

Very very rare to find a crashed exotic, but they do exist in the verse

[rugged sonnet]

The maps you exchange at the cartographer in any space station. you want the "distress signal" maps and you buy them with navigation data.
As for the radar, i think only the minotaur radar array can find distress signals. it wont work on any other exocraft i don't think.

[covert lodge]

Dude thank you so much I was so so confused

[scarlet mica]

Nautilon can scan directly for sunken ships.

[rugged sonnet]

if you dont have any exocrafts yet its probably easier just to get the charts from the cartographer. you will need some navigation data but thats easy to find a couple in laying around in any space station. they look like little blue or yellow cubes on the tables

[scarlet mica]

Note to get 6+ distress signal charts.

The process is a bit finnicky.

[winter obsidian]

The real GOAT baby!

[rugged sonnet]

it really is a great ship.

[winter obsidian]

I know right, I love my solar, living, and exotics etc... but this even in its simplicity is the greatest ship so far

Also first Squid I found in the wild

[rugged sonnet]

i was actually thinking it was too good for a ship you can acquire on a new save as soon as you enter the anomaly but then i realized it cos 1400 nanites to unlock.

seems a reasonable price considering how good it is.

[rugged sonnet]

just started a new permadeath save with the goal of getting off the planet without using the starter ship. 10 mins later i hear the unmistakable sound of an exotic landing...
i cant buy it but the sound led me to a trade post so thats good.

Euclid.

[winter obsidian]

You also have to have done exe first too

Any new players after this exe are missing out big time

[rugged sonnet]

yeah i didn't play for over a year and missed the golden vector and the normandy.

[winter obsidian]

I missed vector, but I love mass effect so had to jump on for that

[patent grail]

@worn sage I didn't realize I had no max rolled Shield mods on this save, but everything else should be about perfect. 🙂

[worn sage]

Ooooo that looks great

I wonder

I’ll also share some tests as soon as I can

[winter obsidian]

hi, can someone give me the codes for a station with good spaceships

Where spaceships are very fast

[rugged sonnet]

now to start the long walk...

[toxic pawn]

S-tier fighter

S-tier hauler

[rugged sonnet]

mission acomplished

[rugged sonnet]

arent you missing one of the starship trails there? the sputtering one?

[patent grail]

@rugged sonnet Yeah, claiming it got messed up on this save, and just havent cared enough to go fix it via save edit - the only difference itd make is a near imperceptible speed increase.

[rugged sonnet]

yea i have never seen any confirmation that those bonuses stack anyways

[hollow snow]

You can look through Nms coord exchange for a ship that looks nice, but speed mostly relies on the upgrades you put into it. Fighters and explorers are the fastest, I believe

[robust shoal]

that is quite the maneuverability stat

[hollow snow]

It’s a lil maneuverable isn’t it

[robust shoal]

just a little

[toxic pawn]

S-tier freighter

[patent grail]

@rugged sonnet The bonuses do stack, but I'm not willing to try and dig through my PS4 screenshots for hours track down the evidence from years ago to show you, lol. It amounted to something like ~20-25u/s per additional trail when averaged out with the 5 trails + Artemis available at the time. Since the speed readout was recalibrated, tis likely a difference of <5u/s/trail nowadays, negligible enough that it doesn't really matter whether you believe either way.

@robust shoal @hollow snow Meh, 400.4 Core without my Photonix Core, a Vesper Sail, or T-shaped SC slots - hand me 7 out of 10 Fighters, I can push them all past it using only tech mods stripped from this ship.

If SC slots didnt have such a big impact when maxing single stat, itd be 9 outta 10

[sour pier]

Personally I'm all about maneuverability as my favorite stat. I hate flying haulers because of it, especially C class haulers without upgrades

[hollow snow]

I wish I could get photonics core

[hollow snow]

I haven’t been in a hauler in a long time, so i didn’t realize how hard they were to fly until I had one in utopia

[patent grail]

If the expedition wasnt so short I'd have likely grabbed the first wrecked Shuttle I saw and used that instead, lol.

[summer forge]

Shuttles are great

Used one for most of my first campaign play through

Best of both worlds

Storage and functionality

[rugged sonnet]

i found a crashed ship on the first planet and did some magic repairs using the bonus content button xD

also gave me a hyperdrive but i didn't use it until the expedition was finished

horizon omega is pretty trash tho but it certainly handles better than the pos starter ship on the expedition

honestly felt like that hauler was going to fall out of the sky

[winter obsidian]

Would anyone be able to take me there pls ?

This one

[stark mesa]

Looking for an s class capital ship

😳😳😳

[wary garden]

for the twitch drop, wouldnt it be possible to find the same body and colors in the wild? or is it exclusive to the drop

[woeful flicker]

Pretty sure I've seen that ship in the wild

[rugged sonnet]

all the twitch ships are built from existing parts but they come as A class and have in some cases pre installed tech.
they are more for new players or fresh saves really.
i have played a new save where i took all the best tech from all the different twitch ships and put it on one ship then scrapped the ones i dont like

i dont have all of them but after today i think i have 10 ships

end up with a starter ship on steroids and a bunch of units and a load of a class mods to either install or sell for nanites

[patent grail]

All the Twitch Drop ships have a gimmick, as well; regardless of their type, they all have Bonus rolls that belong to Fighters, so at S Class, +70-90% Dmg, +24-38% Shield, +0% Range, +35-45% Agi.

[fallow pollen]

Can do, you still on?

[winter obsidian]

Yeah I'm on now

I dm u btw

[fallow pollen]

Ok@ gimme a min

👌

[winter obsidian]

@fallow pollen when ever ur ready lad 👍🏻

[tacit talon]

How does one go about finding the ships that are posted here? I’m looking for a new ship, cheers all

[plain panther]

The images of ships normally have a series of glyphs in the bottom left. If you haven't used a portal before then as a quick guide every planet has a portal structure you can use maps to help find and at the gates you can put in the series of glyphs seen in the image to go to that planet, making sure you're in the right galaxy. One way to learn the glyphs is to find transparent glowing people in space stations and asking where they're from, which will put a market on a traveler grave that will teach a glyph. Once you're in the system the photographed ships will generally land a lot at the space station or trade post, unless it's a crashed ship where you can also go to the shared location to search for it.

[robust shoal]

as someone who hasn't played in a while, how good is the utopia speeder compared to an exotic or fighter?

[scarlet mica]

It's pretty much the same to the Golden Vector.

[wary garden]

golden vector have buffs or just a regular ship?

[scarlet mica]

To min-maxers, it's actually a pretty terrible ship lol.

[wary garden]

so basically just a flex to have

[scarlet mica]

Pretty much.

[wary garden]

and it comes in the one color?

the new one that is, sorry

[pure sleet]

to the REST of us, it's a pretty AWESOME ship

[minor oak]

dang found an s class freighter but low slot count

[pure sleet]

you upgrade that with freighter shells

ummm...whatever you call 'em

The S-Class is for the POTENTIAL for higher count (and of course, better stats overall)

[worn sage]

This particular arrangement of upgrade modules is the best (in terms of maneuverability) so far we’ve seen for the Utopia Speeder ship.

The ship has 1 seed for everyone, meaning this arrangement is viable for everyone. The arrangement has the best X class modules, however, even with good modules this arrangement should work the best.

(friend-entity @patent grail, please do correct me if I am wrong)

[patent grail]

@worn sage Only inaccuracy is that those are the best X mods, mine got it to 2735 or some such in that arrangement 😄

[worn sage]

Hmm! I am pretty sure it is the bis seed for all X class 😦

Can it be bonus roll difference?

I did not touch that at all.

Because 32 maneuverability difference feels very odd.

[split breach]

Lol I like the hyperdrive range bar

Tiny white, lots of orange

[copper girder]

@worn sage why leave so many ways of colored trail, which one prevails?

[dreamy crypt]

The one you instal first stays in think. They boost stats by small amount

[copper girder]

Thanks dude👌🏻

[mossy trench]

Hesperius Dimension

[worn sage]

Ship trails add to speed bonus of the ship.
3 ship trails covering the Polo figurine on 3 sides add to ship's maneuverability bonus.
The chromatic (rainbow) trail will prevail over any other when it is installed. Same goes with Polo figurine.

[stark mesa]

Does the golden ship trail do something?

[worn sage]

All ship trails are usually cosmetics but adding them will increase the ship boost speed.

The trails individually don’t do anything fancy though.

[stark mesa]

Oh, alright

[copper girder]

Many thanks guys

[rugged sonnet]

its definitely the bonus rolls. using your arrangement mine came up around 5 points short of yours.

assuming the same roll range as a fighter this is the theoretical max according to my testing using the save editor

[worn sage]

Yeah! I did change a few seeds here and there to boost the maneuverability by 10

lol! that's funny because seeds and stats are calculated in a weird way.

[rugged sonnet]

dmg and sheild would be 398 and 333 respectively

[worn sage]

The game uses 12 decimal points for calculations, rounding off to the nearest whole number.

There are some serious calculations happening behind the scene, for I didn't touch the bonus rolls.

[rugged sonnet]

i also completely forgot that the launch thruster boost stat affects flight speed. without thruster mods was flying around 440 u/s but with some trash mods was flying 550u/s

[worn sage]

Yep

And ship trails too

Polo-artemis adjacency as well.

[rugged sonnet]

they should be only 1% per mod tho

[worn sage]

I have officially (without altering the stats) managed to minmax the ship's stats.

6% give or take

[rugged sonnet]

the max for x class launch thruster boost is 20 or 25% each maybe

[worn sage]

max x class boost is ~10%

give or take

because of roundoffs

and decimal calculations

[rugged sonnet]

ahh sorry yeah im mixing it up with the launch cost

[worn sage]

Launch cost is -ve 25%

yep

[gaunt roost]

Saving this as I have my setup wrong -_-

[kindred hull]

EUCLID
Rasa little Fighter

[edgy dock]

aww it's like a portable tent ⛺

[rugged sonnet]

remember parts of this layout only work on the utopia speeders supercharge layout. it also prioritizes maneuverability and speed over anything else as it uses all 4 SC slots for the pulse engine.

for the speeder its an excellent layout though

[wary garden]

L pulse distance, 2k+ or not at all

[vagrant mural]

On the hunt for my living ship, will share screenshots of other ones I also find interesting

[rugged sonnet]

todays twitch ship upgraded to S super layout

doesnt come with a solar sail. kinda wierd

[plain panther]

That's painful actually

[dreamy crypt]

Can you pack the sail tech from other solar and put it in this one?

[split breach]

You can't pack the core tech and I think Vesper Sail counts as such

[rugged sonnet]

only way to add it would be a save editor afaik

[vagrant mural]

Not the kind of colors I'm looking for but man that sure is a cool one

[split breach]

I find it weird that the Twitch drop ships don't have it

@patent grail any idea why would that be a case?

[vagrant mural]

Quite a few red and black ones around huh

Pink and green

This one as well on a lush Earth-green planet

[vagrant mural]

How hard is it to find one with blues

[gaunt roost]

Ya, I need to reconfigure the ship as the maneuverability on mine is not that great.

[sacred cosmos]

C class but still a cool ship (im new enough so idk if this is rare or not)

S class hauler, in space station

[vagrant mural]

That's enough for the living ship hunt for now, keep getting the bug where it shows a regular ship...

[shell bloom]

Restarting your game temporarily fixes it. This bug has been in the game for a while now.

[vagrant mural]

Yeah I've heard, I just figured it would be a good sign to take a break too because I've been hunting since I got on the game this morning after breakfast. It's been hours

[shell bloom]

For sure. I was just making you aware for the future.

@worthy magnet You can also ask others in this channel for ideas on standard names the community may use for specific Hauler parts / designs. We have pinned naming conventions for other statship types. But I'm not seeing any pins about haulers specifically

[worthy magnet]

Yeah.. almost nothing for haulers in pinned

But i found fan-wing Hauler with that reddit-search thing and i probably will stick to that design

[worthy magnet]

Thx again!

[edgy dock]

Nice! So glad you found something you liked!

Is it hard to find ships that are gold?

Wait, nevermind. It's sliver(ish).

[worn sage]

LOL! WHAT?

How?

LMAO!

[random parrot]

If anybody can find a ship that looks and fits my type of scrapper character, I will be happy

[worn sage]

What does your type of scrapper character entail?

[random parrot]

What do you mean by entail?

Because I just kind of explore desolate freighters and sell my findings

[orchid gale]

😩

[bold meteor]

whats so bad?

[orchid gale]

Nothing that’s me having an what do you call it

[bold meteor]

k

[orchid gale]

I forgot what it’s called g my b

[bold meteor]

idk either

[orchid gale]

OOOOH

Nevermind

[bold meteor]

???

[orchid gale]

I thought I remembered

[bold meteor]

oof

what part of the expedition you gotta finish for the new ship?

[winter obsidian]

Hi everyone. I've seen a couple of vids on where to get S class starships. Some are crashed locations, some are at space stations and ports. With the ports the vid creators usually show waiting around for a ship to spawn, so what is the benefit of that especially when they will cost so much. Is it because it saves time on repairs if you don't have the parts or something?

[bold meteor]

certain ships can be found more easily because finding a crashed one can be hard to find

of a specific type

[winter obsidian]

Cheers man.

[worn sage]

I mean, what does the scrapper character look like? What race is it, what is the purpose of “scrapper”, you know? Some context to suggest a ship type that would fit best.

[random parrot]

Well, I usually swap between traveler and anomaly, so I would guess saying human so anomaly

I have a living ship, but I absolutely hate it

Dang thing is slower than my first ship

[worn sage]

The ports, or trading outpost as we call them, have the highest landing pads NPC ships can land on. If you don’t land on one of the landing pads, instead land on the ground and leave the pads for NPC ships, a wave can potentially have up to 6 ships, while in the space station, including your ship there can only be 4-5 more.

The other reason why the trade outposts are better is because the trade deals we can make there have a higher cost multiplayer, meaning items can be sold to NPC pilots at a higher price (~25% higher than space station).

[worn sage]

Alright, the best ship to haul cargo will be the hauler. Big, chunky, slow ships but highest cargo space of 120.

A good all rounder ship for such activity with great maneuverability and damage potential alongside extra cargo space will be a solar ship.

Haulers also have the highest shield, making them the best shield tank.

[worn sage]

The entire expedition. Utopia Speedster is the final reward for completion.

[random parrot]

Well, I play creative so I can do any amount of cargo and stuff I want but a hauler may actually work if it can be smaller than three sections long I would really want two section one

[worn sage]

This is an explorer

[worn sage]

There are small haulers, indeed.

[orchid gale]

That wasn’t what I was tryna say LMAO

[random parrot]

Most of the ones that I’ve seen are like three to four section

[worn sage]

For example: #nms-legacy-ships message

[worn sage]

Oh! Then what? 😅

[orchid gale]

Idk I forgot the word

But I know the different classes of ships

[random parrot]

Maybe ones with wing parts I guess

[worn sage]

I just did a simple search in this channel with these parameters
In: <channel name> has: hauler

I’m sure you’ll find something here

[winter obsidian]

Cheers for further info. Just got that ship off the twitch drop. Been struggling with the default ship for the last 20 gaming hours, so good to gave an A class ship. I have to say though in terms of looks I prefer it when its planet side as opposed to when in space and the solar panels come out. Not a fan of the solar look and on this ship they take up half the frikkin screen haha.

[winter obsidian]

You could always buy some of the data maps for beacons. I've just been doing that and made about 7 million units, and most were of the hauler build size you seem to be after. If you don't like them when you find them, just fix up the booster and launch and sell them.

[worn sage]

Oh I know. I don’t like the sails either

😅

[dreamy crypt]

Now we have helm that matches the freighter 😂

[worthy magnet]

That's really helpful tool, but i didn't found my desire design :C
Anyway thx so much, i will use it for other designs ❤️
