[silk viper]

but i am not sure how long i have to wait

[golden pivot]

Time to make my living ship fleet

[supple quartz]

Exotic chance is a 1 in 301 for each ship that spawns not for a cluster or wave, it can take you a few hours of waiting to get one or it could be a few minutes.

With trade outposts reload after the first wave, once you load in view the ships flying in on the first wave, if you see no exotic reload, repeat until one spawns.

Also check if the poster has detailed that it is a first wave or second ect, you can use this in a space station (as they have set waves)

[sharp jetty]

Oohh, that hyperdrive range is rough

I dunno if an S-rank Solar ship is worth it?

[odd hare]

idk, maybe if you like the looks

[sharp jetty]

That's better with some upgrades. xD

[merry fox]

Hyperdrive needs good upgrades to push the distance, got my sentinel ship to 1800+ with lucky X class ones.
S class ones should be able to add ~200 ly. range per as well as much better efficiency.

[sharp jetty]

Yeah, I pushed it up to about 600ish, which is enough, I'm not doing cross-galaxy leaps lol

[silk viper]

gonna keep trying to reload it. i stg i want this ship so bad

[austere jasper]

I'm looking for an Exotic Royal that looks exactly like this, and I'm in the galaxy that it was found, but it hasn't even spawned. I've been at this for around 3-4 hours already, with multiplayer disabled.

[silk viper]

im working on the gold trim white of these

its been hours. nothing..

[austere jasper]

I'm really looking for a white with gold trim, needlenose, two thruster. I can always add slots and upgrade it's class, but I want something to replace my current Exotic. My current exotic is a boring white and silver, needlenose, single thruster.

[merry fox]

Blue colored with some light orange? Different lighting throws some colors off more than others hence the 3rd screenshot I've started to add.

[outer mango]

is there a way i can try forcing an exotic to spawn in the system im in? i think there was a way by restoring save points in a trade post but im not sure

[supple quartz]

Exotic chance is a 1 in 301 for each ship that spawns not for a cluster or wave, you can’t force it to spawn but you can force more ship spawns over a shorter period of time.

With trade outposts reload after the first wave, once you load in view the ships flying in on the first wave, if you see no exotic reload, repeat until one spawns.

[outer mango]

so, checkpoint made, reload, no ship, reload, correct?

[supple quartz]

Correct

[dreamy crypt]

Some interceptors near to weekend mission system

[silk viper]

day # 2. back at it again...

[silk viper]

do i just have bad luck D: nothing so far

ive tried 2 trading posts lol. nothing yet

[silk viper]

AHAHAHA FINALLY

GOTCHA

[slim quail]

I have that in red

[merry fox]

Looks like cream and blue for colors on this one.

[dusk hazel]

I. Want. Customizable. Interceptors.

[merry fox]

Doubt they will ever do that option however.

[sharp cairn]

Any idea how the F i keep finding these ? the right one is from two nights ago, the left one is from just now -_-

[merry fox]

Not sure other than pure coincidence.

[sharp cairn]

i know, i know ... but still, its sad to find 2 of these and multiple S tiers sooner than a (at least somewhat to my liking) white sentinel ship ...well im calling it a night with this one, gn !

[merry fox]

Hopefully you can find one soon.

[austere jasper]

Can you send me the list of these?

[silk viper]

wym?

it was just that image

thats all there was on it

[karmic steeple]

-# Recurring channel reminder

Post about legacy Ships ONLY (starships, freighters, frigates) See pinned rules

Corvettes? #nms-corvette-discussion or #nms-showcase-corvettes

[young carbon]

i love
those fkn
cube shuttles
like dont touch my son

found this when revisiting the star system i spawned in when first starting the save file back in 2022
bought it and souped it up big time into a decently ok s-class
glyphs in last image i gurss

gives the same vibes as those glitched tiny corvettes

[austere jasper]

Does anyone want an Exotic Royal starship? It has dual small thrusters, light grey & gold, needlenose, and royal fins. It's not upgraded in slots or anything else, so you'll have to fill it up yourself.

[merry fox]

Orange

Orange van.

[wicked breach]

the royal orb

[lethal veldt]

Guys is there an ship called iron griffin or smth? It looked pretty soecial so im guessing its a special ship

[quartz pecan]

Do you mean the Iron vulture

[lethal veldt]

Yes! Where can i find those

[quartz pecan]

They were an Expedition reward

For adrift

[quartz pecan]

You can ASK for the parts in nms-lfg-or-trades

[merry fox]

This one was at a quicksilver mission planet, didn't see anyone post it here yet.
Black with some cream(?) parts, mostly a wide body and folding wings.

[coral pine]

can i have a dragon egg please

[edgy dock]

Uhhh this channel is about legacy ships Try #nms-lfg-or-trades for trades. Or even #nms-fauna for posts or discussion about pets / companions

[coral pine]

thanks👍

[serene locust]

Oh hey, I could ask for dogfighting advice while I'm here.

Gameplay question; how do I maneuver around enemy ships so I'm not constantly in head-on collisions with them?

[sudden hinge]

very cool exo ship

[serene locust]

it looks a bit like a royal multitool...

[half valley]

I have one of these in yellow. I gave my ships RP jobs. This one is a planet hopper. It's strictly interplanetary, not interstellar. It has zero hyperdrive upgrades, but its launch thrusters are maxed out

[odd hare]

enemies WILL fly into you, they do not care. Usual case is that you tunnel one, and the one tries to tunnel you, so you both go in a spiral until either you catch up or they break pattern

and breaking pattern means that either one takes distance and gets hit

but shields are "endless", since salt is readily available. So space combat is chill

[serene locust]

My ship has near maxed out maneuvering, I’m surprised fighters are constantly outflanking me

Are corvettes just too fat for combat?

[odd hare]

maybe, I dont use those

wont be out maneuvering me ☕

then again the combat is just me holding down 3 buttons until red arrows are no more

[sharp jetty]

I swear, I keep finding nothing but Hauler Sentinels... lol

I prefer to move a tad faster than the average space rock

[grand notch]

Found a similar one in Hilbert lol was an ice storm though so it’s a bit washed out color wise but it’s orange

[odd hare]

I have a collection of outposts by harmonic camps, if you have a color in mind I could check

[grand notch]

I put a save beacon by the harmonic camps I visit lol

[odd hare]

I name em by color and size to warn others of uglies

the bulky ones are def over presented

[grand notch]

What’s funny is this is basically the ship I was always looking for in Euclid

Got myself a black similar one then I ended up in Hilbert and found this randomly

[sharp jetty]

I'm always on the hunt for a nice red Sentinel ship, only seen a few though lol

[grand notch]

Any idea what your preferred setup is?

[grand notch]

I got this red and yellow one

I can send you other red ones I find if you want lol

[sharp jetty]

...The heck happened to the wings? Looks like someone chopped them off lol

[grand notch]

Ahah idk

If you want wings I’ll keep an eye out

[sharp jetty]

And sure, but you don't have to, not that big of a deal lol

[grand notch]

Most times I’m trolling dissonant planets for a cool design anyways

Or farming them for scrap for money and storage augs to upgrade my ships. So if I see one I’ll let you know, I keep a catalogue of the ones I find anyways

[sharp jetty]

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. Find a Purple Star, check the ship, if I don't like it, bounce systems.

[odd hare]

is the style I used for a long time, it lacks the top parts making it look flat

[sharp jetty]

Ooohh, very sharp.

I just stumbled on this boi... gonna fix him up and see how he feels.

[grand notch]

Purple? lol they’re on other colors as well

Any system that has dissonant in the description has a sentinel ship on one of its planets

[serene locust]

Even if the planet is dead or Exotic? I found a dissonant Capillary Shell planet

[sharp jetty]

Ah... Well good to know lol

[grand notch]

Should be yeah

Might not have a harmonic camp to make it easier but there should be wrecks

[serene locust]

Just making sure, I’d heard they were missing some features

[grand notch]

Like i said, no harmonic camp but I’m pretty sure there’s wrecks

Would just be harder to find without a carrier map thing

[sharp jetty]

One thing I love about Sentinel ships is the massive tech slots

I feel like I'm really limited on even my S-class Solar ship

[grand notch]

You can add more slots

[serene locust]

Oh right I need to prepare a brain for that… eventually

[grand notch]

The crashes have a brain you can use for it

Just gotta use it to find a nearby monolith to convert it

[sharp jetty]

^

[grand notch]

Ah but be sure to stock a brain or two because if your ship ever gets damaged enough to lose the pilot interface you’ll need one to fix it if you don’t have a repair kit you wanna use for it

[sharp jetty]

Little slow, but man she can jump across the system lol

[grand notch]

You can use storage augments for ships to add slots to the tech area

[sharp jetty]

Ahhh, gotcha...

[grand notch]

Or just pay for it

If you gotta lot of money

[sharp jetty]

....I'm over 90 hours into this game. 90

And I JUST LEARND YOU CAN MOVE AROUND THE STORAGE UPGRADE slot xD

Wait, so if you get Tech slots via Upgrade augments, what does kicking it up to S-class do? Just a base stat upgrade?

Whoa. ._.

[grand notch]

A base stat reroll and adds a 4th super charged slot somewhere on your tech bar

[sharp jetty]

Yeah, I forgot about the other supercharged slot

[merry fox]

Just easier to find dissonant planets by going to purple stars but yeah, can find them elsewhere just not as common.

[odd hare]

first dissonant pirate systems, then purple systems, then the rest

[sharp jetty]

I've not seen a Dissonant Pirate system yet, weirdly

[odd hare]

not super rare, speedily mouseover reds with conflict filter to spot em

[sharp jetty]

So I get the 11% change, but what exactly is the drift bit? lol

[autumn iris]

Your starship will no longer automatically slow down when ending a boost in space

it will now continue traveling in the direction it was going, even if you turn in a different direction

[sharp jetty]

...Ah, hence the "high-speed asteroid impacts" bit in the flavor text lol

[golden pivot]

I swear I love living ships but I just wished they’re easier to modify

[outer mango]

if you have finished the Titan expedition you can obtain the Wraith and extract the mods it has to put in another living ship, then get rid of it and keep claiming more from the Quicksilver shop or the expedition terminal

[willow bough]

Dont you get one per save?

[merry fox]

Basically a 2 for 1 exotic and sentinel in the same system.
Exotic is a gray color with gold, sentinel is black with red wings.

[outer mango]

true... there is a way if when you finish the expedition if its your selected ship works

[willow bough]

Yeah, i realized rhat too late after i ended the expo

[willow bough]

Also thats a sick sentinel ship

[merry fox]

Yeah it looks nice, got sent to the system for a mission from the agent in another one, didn't expect to see the exotic land about the same time I few into the trading post, and figured I'd find the sentinel on the dissonant planet.

[steep bane]

aint no way i found something near identical to my main ship 😂

i got a base down at the site for the second one and should be able to get the planets portal code if anyone wants it

calypso galaxy btw

[merry fox]

Orange

Blue, grey colored wings, chunky body.

[tardy zealot]

just found this cuite its so little its giving tweety bird

[grand notch]

Too bad it’s not yellow

[tardy zealot]

it looks lil more yellow without the filter lol

[grand notch]

Ah it’s orange

[tardy zealot]

yea

[grand notch]

Still yellow would be better for a tweety version lol

I have a similar one except it has like a beak and is white and silver

[tardy zealot]

the other one i found is yellow

[grand notch]

#nms-legacy-ships message

[grand notch]

Looks more like a bird head lol

[tardy zealot]

yea i didnt notice that till now lol

[sharp jetty]

You can't craft one of the ball ships, aye?

[zenith pivot]

says ship but should be a tank honestly

[autumn iris]

This is correct, Exotic ships are not supported in Starship Fabrication

[sharp jetty]

That's what I thought. Ty

[autumn iris]

Only Fighter, Hauler, Explorer and Solar starships are supported in Starship Fabrication

[nimble stump]

The tank leg ones need to be able to walk. Maybe we'll get a walker like that soon. I want an at at

[sturdy sparrow]

YO DM ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE A LIVING SHIP FOR FREE

OR ADD ME

[sharp jetty]

Walk or double as a Land Exocraft lol

[random pagoda]

Like I said before, you should trying asking around in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[solar grove]

I tried

[random pagoda]

patience then

[young carbon]

i use mine exclusively to transport illegal contraband

[lapis lion]

Does anyone have a golden vector they can give me I can't transfer mine to permadeath from normal?

[supple quartz]

Would Be happy to.

If you have the golden vector unlocked from the expedition you can just claim a new one at the quicksilver shop in the anomaly on your new save.

[lapis lion]

I had earned it on an older account I no longer have access to but DM me on when you're available

[merry fox]

All black

Red with some black

[toxic orchid]

I found an all white one of this model earlier but i didnt mark the coords : (

the all black

[zenith pivot]

on the 4th pirate raid and already got one

[bold locust]

Is there a cap on living frigates for console? I've gone through dozens of anomaly detectors and around 9 systems and nada. I get sentient stuff but no whale songs...

I have a single living frigate on each of my saves but it's getting to the point where I think that's all you can have.

[autumn iris]

There is not, you may have as many as you wish

did you keep pulsing through all of the events, ignoring the ones that are not whalesongs?

[bold locust]

Yes.

I've pulsed for 5-7 minutes, stopped, pulsed again, used detector. Rinse/repeat for a few hours.

[merry fox]

I noticed that some are very slow to get the whalesong encounter, to the point I just moved to a different system.

[supple quartz]

If you are exceeding 5mins of pulsing change system, while still in pulse enter the warp map and warp to a new system this retains the used anomaly detector when you get into the new system. All that is required then is to initiate pulse after the warp.

[merry fox]

I would call that a gray and red colored one but if someone wants to take a closer look they can.

[bold locust]

Thanks for replies to my living frigate questions. Did the hyperdrive jump while pulsed to a couple different systems and finally got 1. Did it again and got another. Appreciate ya 🖖

[scarlet wigeon]

I've found a pretty ship.

[lyric flame]

Can somone transfer me a few expedition ships later, Ill give some void eggs

[pallid hare]

Is that white or blue?

Looks blue but also looks like station lighting

[scarlet wigeon]

Turquoise I guess.

[high roost]

Finally found square sc slots fabricated fighter,you need to use s class reactor, horizon wings,box thruster and alpha cockpit.(You need to purchase the 2 slots above the already existing sc slots)

[merry fox]

About the best way I've found for comparing colors is the compare ship screen (or the one before it) when claiming one.

[nimble stump]

I will certainly take a look at it

[tardy pagoda]

I want to collect explorer parts because explorers have some of the most unique designs

But I need a crap ton of money to buy every explorer

[red wasp]

I want one like this

[tardy pagoda]

I really like the variety of explorer designs

[supple quartz]

Would be happy to, dm me with the list of ones you want.

[tiny flame]

Is it just me, or do "dragonfly" interceptors look kind of unbalanced from the side when the wings are unfolded?

[covert thunder]

y can get only one per system i think tho you can farm as many as y want

[slim quail]

is that system first contact

[serene locust]

I wish to purify a Hyaline* Brain, but even though I have all the ingredients in my inventory and I’m at a monolith, I don’t know how to “probe in the inventory” as the wiki says

*spell check confirms this is a real word, wow

The drop down menu only gives me the general move or throw away item options, there’s no press X to consume item on any of the ingredients

Is it crafted? Do I need to do a mission first

[autumn iris]

Track the "Salvage Site" mission that's given from first interacting with the crashed sentinel ship and follow everything that it says to do in the bottom right

"probing the brain" is a scripted thing, you must be at the specific step that requires you to probe the brain to be able to probe the brain

probing the brain marks a specific monolith that is used to cleanse the brain

[serene locust]

Ah, that’s the problem, I’m trying to eat my dessert first…

There’s oddly no shortage of dissonant systems nearby, this shouldn’t be too much of a problem

[knotty cedar]

I never thought that I would buy an explorer starship. But I saw this one just now and the thruster layout and colour are perfect.

[mellow niche]

What do u think Abt this venator design, I’m not happy with the bridges has anyone an idea how to make them look like the original?

[grand tinsel]

This channel is for all ships except corvettes - you want #nms-corvette-discussion

[mellow niche]

Sry sir

[grand tinsel]

No worries

[mellow niche]

How far does one need to be in the story to build custom fighters

[grand tinsel]

No progression needed - you scrap a ship for a single part at the starship terminal in the back of stations. You can buy reactors for them (determines starting class) at the ship module vendor on stations

[trim osprey]

Buying s-class reactor is pricey in nanites but still cheaper than upgrading.

[trim osprey]

In any non-outlaw station, on the ground floor behind shops.
The big circle in the middle is building station, the smaller on the left is scrapping.
Get some ships (buy or find), scrap them for customizable ship part (not money), do that until you have parts you want.
Reactors are sold at spaceship upgrades vendor upstairs.
You need cockpit, reactor, and usually two wings of same type of ship, then you'll paint it and assemble it.

[merry fox]

Black with red.

[trim osprey]

From what I've seen so far... starting amount of slots is inversely proportional to ship class, isn't it?

[autumn iris]

That is incorrect, initial slot count is unrelated to ship class. Upgraded slot count limit however is fully tied to class and type of thing

[trim osprey]

THanks

[mellow niche]

OHHHHH ok tsm

[sturdy sparrow]

would anyone like a living ship dm me if your interested

[merry fox]

Kind of looks like a cream/tan color to me

[deep matrix]

Found this one today

[supple spade]

what baseline custom fighter stats should I be aiming for?

and does manouverability affect speed or only handling

[warped patio]

Speed and handling

[supple spade]

i meant a range for those

im going for over 400 damage and over 600 manouv

[autumn iris]

Both if them can be influenced by tech that they come with which skews things, and the variance within the same class isn't very large enough to worry to hard

[tardy zealot]

do you know what class thje ship is?

[supple quartz]

Class, stats and initial SC slots are proc gen per crash site, if you intend of players locating this specific A class you’ll need to provide the lat/long coordinates.

Interceptor model will remain the same as each system has only 1 model interceptor.

[tardy zealot]

ohh i see

[merry fox]

I don't remember for that one, and I haven't been keeping track of the exact location on the planet when I find one but by luck might even find one better than I did.

A lot that I find are C class and pretty sure that one was, some more recent ones I've been luckier.

[thorny void]

Do you guys know how to find a cool looking sentinel ship

[dreamy crypt]

By exploring

Or look in thins channel . There was a lot of nice ships posted in the past.

[nimble stump]

Theres a reddit too that has a thread for each type, sentinel, squid, ball, and normal types. I know they have it for Euclid and eisentam maybe other galaxies

[merry fox]

Someone on there even has a dedicated site with a lot of ships on it.

[vagrant gate]

Made this ship, I'm glad the whole ship customization thing exists cuz now I can have my real dream fighter I can deck out to my heart's content

[slim flicker]

Found this Blue Exotic S class at a space station yesterday.
Galaxy: Euclid, System: Nehuaia

[nimble stump]

The tiny guppies are so ridiculous

[nimble stump]

I want them all

[silk viper]

how

***o r b ***

[slim flicker]

if i could get one just like that i would

[slim quail]

LOL

[grand notch]

give it to me :D

[supple quartz]

These are created by changing the ship data when editing the raw JSON in a save editor, this is the only way these can be created.

In other words they are save edited and there are quite a few.

[grand notch]

the last ball is the best, the first 2 arent very good

[supple quartz]

Each to their own, but the First one requires flying in third person, and the last one can’t land without a landing pad present.

[slim quail]

Lmao

[silk viper]

my damage sucks but my manoeuverability went through the ROOF

[serene locust]

I can’t help but notice the refurbished sentinel ships have a default weapon which isn’t a photon blaster. Will photon blaster upgrades work on that still?

[autumn iris]

Yes, the Sentinel Cannon supports Photon Cannon upgrades

[serene locust]

How fortunate!

[fathom trout]

Sentinel exclusive parts are still compatible with their non sentinel equivalent techs

It's the living ships that has their own tech modules

[serene locust]

Nice helmet, though I’m glad the aliens don’t react to it, given what it is…

[golden pivot]

Can Living ships get a ton of maneuverability ?

[edgy rapids]

I am quite curious to know how many different versions of the sentinel intercepters are there

[autumn iris]

There is one version of Sentinel Interceptors, with millions of possible variations including many parts that are mutually exclusive and many that aren't in an extremely confusing arrangement

[edgy rapids]

Interesting

[fathom trout]

There are sentinels that's comparable to some of the smaller corvettes, and others called fleas that's barely bigger than nomad or pilgrim exocrafs

I think it's the most varied ship type in the game?

[autumn iris]

Very much so, yes. Though sentinel ships cannot compare in size to even the smallest corvettes whatsoever.

[supple spade]

I still can't figure out which parts are wings and which are thrusters or skirt intstead

[supple spade]

This chart actually lays things out way better than ones I've seen before

[gloomy oak]

hard to figur out but a nice sheet dont think i can be me simple to look all part by parts u need the vision

[fathom trout]

You can scroll through some images of the interceptors and maybe look at a few in person, eventually you will start to get an idea which part is which shape

[azure birch]

these ships look funny i like how the last two are just balls

[merry fox]

Then add the various colors that they can be, as well as how different parts can be different colors, so have a lot of variations just on colors alone.

[merry fox]

Mostly black, touch of light green on the lower flap type thing.

[hearty briar]

looks like saiyan pod 😂

[pale python]

Sqiud one looks funny. Exotic orbs fly decently, but no actual engines, so floating trails.

[tribal wyvern]

As in slow af?

[bitter flint]

The pod ships. Like the last one. Are sick looking. Draw back of needing a pad present but it’s nifty

I totally need to get one from somebody lol

[supple quartz]

Happy to give you one just need to know which one you want lol

[supple quartz]

Aside from their obscure look they function like any other ship, all aside from the explorer orb that cannot land without a pad.

Some do have solid mesh in the cockpit that does require flying in third person

[tribal wyvern]

Sad it’s the explorer I wanted :(

[golden pivot]

I have a specific question

If you can compare ship types to types of cars

Which is which

[high edge]

im trying to figure out what exactly is the fastest possible starship in NMS, would it be a standard one or a corvette?

[outer mango]

if in a ship i add more weapons, do i increase my damage in general or the damage stat in the ship is not accuarate?

[sturdy sparrow]

im giving all these ships away exept big daddy hmu if interested

[high edge]

That Tritsan one is cool 😄

[sturdy sparrow]

its yours if you want it

[high edge]

The damage of the ship afaik is accurate for the number except for Phase beam, phase beam its that number x the number of phase beams

[high edge]

would be cool. Ive only been playingf ro about two weeks

spending all my time making corvettes in freeplay

[sturdy sparrow]

oh nice

[high edge]

ive made my combat corvette, im trying to make one now thats pure speed focused

[high edge]

if you dont mind helping me figure out how to trade id love to snag that ship tho 😄 I need a living one for my fleet

[sturdy sparrow]

bet its super easy

i added you on discord

[autumn iris]

In-atmosphere, sentinel ships by a longshot
In space, not sentinel ships but the differences aren't that big imo there

[high edge]

i just finished looking at a guide on maximizing the speed of corvettes, im messing with it now

[autumn iris]

Due to the way speed works, it's not difficult to reach the speed cap for any ship type by just installing 3 S-Class pulse engine and launch thruster upgrades

Know that the speedometer is extremely bugged and keeps increasing beyond that cap, despite no further speeds being reached

Corvettes will always be slow, sentinel ships will always be fast, upgrades only rlly change it by like 10% max

[high edge]

Ah, so if i wanta speed ship get a sentinel, ok.

[edgy rapids]

Quick question: What's the best superchared slot layout for a sentinel interceptor?

[autumn iris]

That depends on how many different things you wish to supercharge, and even then all layouts can be made to work decently

Like if you wanna supercharge only one type of thing then a square is """best""" but not by a lot imo, not nearly enough to justify how much that narrows how many ships you'll find like that (I've still yet to find a square anything on my own)

Some things may be more optimal without a square layout too #nms-commands message

[edgy rapids]

Duly noted

[queen flicker]

Does anyone have coordinates or a seed for this ship but in blue?

[supple spade]

no man's sky coordinate exchange website

[queen flicker]

Tried that but the coordinates I found were all outdated.

[golden pivot]

What’s the sports car equivalent in NMS

[queen flicker]

No idea but I finally got my ship. Found a crashed one.

[lime creek]

can someone tell me the best way to find exotic ships

[nimble stump]

Coordinate exchange on reddit or here when someone posts one.

[queen flicker]

I've found a couple from the NMSCE website.

I prefer searching for crashed ships with NMSCE.

Don't really like waiting for them to fly in to a station.

[lime creek]

how do i use cords to find a ship

[nimble stump]

That depends. If its number coordinates then I'm not entirely sure. If its portal coordinates then you find a portal, input the glyphs, find somewhere with landing pads, and then you wait for it to land so you can buy it. Usually in the first couple of groups that comes in.

[lime creek]

how do i find a portal

[nimble stump]

Do you have an exocraft and scanner plus the scanner power amplifier installed on it?

[lime creek]

no but i can do that

[nimble stump]

Do that and then you can use the exocraft scanner to locate a monolith. Answer its question correctly and then interact with it again. Give it whatever it asks for, vykeen dagger, gek relic, or korvax casing, and you should have the option to locate a portal.

You will need to check how many glyphs you have learned. There's sixteen altogether. You dint need all of them to use a portal but if you don't know the required glyphs you won't be able to get to the planet you are trying for.

[serene locust]

You collect glyphs by finding traveller graves, right?

[nimble stump]

That and in Artemis path iirc you can get them. Talking to the various travelers in stations can give you the option to ask where they came from and that will mark a grave.

[serene locust]

And only one player can grab a glyph per grave, so in multiplayer you need to share fairly

[nimble stump]

Not that I'm aware of. Everyone can grab it.

[serene locust]

Really? My buddy wasn’t able to take a Glyph after I read the epitaph first

[nimble stump]

There's a system that someone found that has 14 Graves and they marked them for others to use. You have to find 2 yourself and then the rest you can get from that system.

Strange.

I'm not finding anything about only one person being able to interact with it. Perhaps a cool down of some kind is hidden.

I have to get back to work so if either of you have further questions others will have to answer or you'll have to at me and I'll get back to you once im done.

Number coordinates? You mean Like this: 542E02FFDFF8? You can Input them into the companion App or equivalent and get the glyphs
(Dont know where they lead to. Just know the Region and Galaxy for that one)

[golden pivot]

What’s y’all favorite Exotic ship you have

[nimble stump]

Latitude and longitude on a planet

[ebon trellis]

Ah, they're displayed in your Ship and in your Scanner. Its a Bit tedious getting to the right Spot but once you got a General direction it get's easier. Some / Most people Put down a save beacon or communication Station near the Ship Site for easier finding

[nimble stump]

It is a fairly simple process. I just haven't done it yet. The stations that people put down are very handy

[trim osprey]

This goes into #nms-corvette-discussion or #nms-showcase-corvettes , not here

[ebon trellis]

Yeah they're Not Always placed down but I've Seen them at Most of the interceptor crashsites I've went to

[nimble stump]

I think interceptors are one of if not the most popular ship

[ebon trellis]

I believe so yeah

[nimble stump]

They are the easiest to get as s class and they have a lot of variation of looks

[ebon trellis]

I'm archiving interesting ones on the NMS Wiki too

[nimble stump]

I will need to check that out then

I can possibly provide some from both euclid and eisentam. I love dissonant worlds

[ebon trellis]

Oh nice, I mostly Work in Euclid about 3.5k ly from the core. Working that civilisation Up through the entire Region and archiving interesting finds on the way

[nimble stump]

Im way out in the middle outer half

If you wanna I can DM you the Wiki Page If you'd Like to See what we already archived since October (we're Just two people currently)(and cause this is rather more for the General Channel)

[queen flicker]

Blue squid ship.

[merry fox]

Only have a regular yellow exotic with no big fins and two engine pods on the sides.
I'll have to try and track down what system I found it in, its one of the first ones I explored after starting.

[golden pivot]

Which ship type are generally fastest

[merry fox]

Sentinel ships are the fastest in the atmosphere of a planet, not sure about space.

[high edge]

Are there any ships that can hover like corvettes?

[supple quartz]

In terms of being able to hover in place, Any interceptor, both starborn ships and any fabricated hauler with the iron vulture wings. But these will not allow the same in terms of mid air hover and exit just being able to stop in place.

[high edge]

bummer. Thats such a great feature

the corvette hover mode just is so much more convenient then landing, but making good compact corvettes is painful

[supple spade]

for hauler parts, is the neck part of the cockpit or the tail?

[autumn iris]

Cockpit

[wicked breach]

it depends on how much you invest into pulse drive upgrades, but i feel like fighters and sentinel interceptors are the fastest. solars are pretty good too

[rapid belfry]

I read somewher that solar is the fastest for intraplanetary travel, but not sure.

[potent acorn]

[autumn iris]

To my knowledge, all regular ship types are at the same pulse speed, sentinels might be like 5-10% faster, corvettes might be a lot more but haven't tested that

Tech that increases pulse speed are the Sub-Light Amplifier and the Pulse Engine, supercharging both is what I always do

[neon marlin]

Who can slide me a living ship

If y do I’ll give u a b class sentinel ship

[lean echo]

Does pulse speed get a bonus from adjacency? I swear an upgraded ship has faster pulse than the starter

[autumn iris]

Yes, those tech modules I described do benefit from both supercharging and adjacency

[normal coyote]

What do you guys think of this interceptor? It was the first one I found and it still the most unique one I have

[vagrant gate]

The Hyperblitzer - Fightbreaker Variant with Envoy Color Scheme
Also known as the H.F.V. Envoy

Blue plus something else.

[keen grotto]

2 weeks until xmas

and i have yet to see one single christmas tree ship

wheres the holiday cheer?

I understand not everyone celebrates it

but to not see a single one?

[gloomy oak]

somone have a rare ship they dont need i have 1 slot left but i want somthing cool or any recommandation

i should try to find

[tribal wyvern]

Still want? I think I have one spare

I did not, or well I have the wraith if that one is fine w you, from quicksilver shop

[neon marlin]

Too late 😭

[tribal wyvern]

Sadge npnp ^^

[vagrant gate]

And yes, I dub my "purple green yellow" color scheme in most things I play to be dubbed "Envoy"

[merry fox]

Greenish color, not a lot of extra features on this one.

[merry fox]

Looks like light green and some shade of blue.

[vagrant gate]

I kinda wish the ship fabricator let you also have a Modification option aswell

[golden pivot]

What’s your favorite Fighter ship you own

[supple quartz]

Been my main fighter since 2019

[golden pivot]

I’ve been thinking about getting a fighter as my next ship

[supple quartz]

I adore their models, would say it’s good if you like that look.

[golden pivot]

I see

I’m a car guy and some of these fighter ships look like futuristic cars

[supple spade]

Ayo that with a mono booster is my new prefab ship

[merry fox]

Black and yellow.

[tardy zealot]

looked like a pinky purple on the planet but its really blue booo

[gloomy oak]

somone have cool looking ship they could give me

[supple quartz]

What are you looking for matey? “Cool” is up to you, is there a model you like in particular? A type you like?

I would also suggest checking out the coordinates exchange on both Reddit and discord, that way you can just search by key words and find the ship you want yourself.

https://discord.gg/hdwX59cKD

https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/SobGCbZEXy

[gloomy oak]

not really one specific but any ship that look nice or cool color or rare for collection

[supple quartz]

Wouldn’t class anything as rare considering how ships are generated.

But I would start by looking at both what is pinned here and what players have discovered in either of those places, gives you a better idea of what is out there rather than asking for a very broad thing.

In the pins you can see each ship type and its relative parts, helps narrow down at least a model and type you want.

[gloomy oak]

u konw what the name of the small ship that look like the milenium falcon

cant find it

[supple quartz]

Boundary herald?

Did you end up obtaining the phoenix?

[gloomy oak]

idk but is it lock in expedition cause i saw that ship 2 time ever

but ya somone got me one

[supple quartz]

Starborn runner is from an expedition, Phoenix is from a steam DLC that lasted a short time.

This the ship you are thinking of?

[gloomy oak]

yaaaaaa that

how i get one like that

i swear there rare ship i never see thise one

[supple quartz]

It’s from expedition 16, happy to give you one if you want.

[gloomy oak]

sure cause i have hard time in expedition and idk when they come back

and its look so cool

[supple quartz]

Expedition 16 and its rerun has passed it was in 2024 it’s unlikely that that expedition will have another rerun unless HG allows expeditions to be completed outside expedition times.

Of course save editing and modding is available that will allow yo into replay expeditions or just obtain the rewards.

[gloomy oak]

damm not a pc pro too so those ship not gonna be ez to get for me rip

[supple quartz]

As long as you have access to a PC and a version of the game on it you can use the cross save feature to save edit your save.

Anyway I’m happy to trade you each expo ship if you would like.

[gloomy oak]

sure ill take those but ya gota try somtime but its scary when you dont know much but ill figur out like that

[obsidian axle]

I’m probably gonna go on the website

[zenith bolt]

Yer thats mine from back,

[merry fox]

Orange, has some white or light gray bits, large...
Coords to this ship in the 4th screenshot, only reason I did that was it had 2 SC slots right next to each other. Don't know where A and S slots are though.

[flat reef]

hope this helps someone

[golden pivot]

What sentinel you like more a X wing Sentinel or Dragonfly

[fast perch]

guys can anyone tell me which ship is this and how to buy or find it? thanks

[quartz pecan]

Through Expedition omega

Its called Starborn runner

[zenith bolt]

As far as im aware, only way to get it these days is use a mod, save edit, or maybe trade it with another player. Not sure on last as i havnt played nms for a while. As truemmerkante says, its a reward from a previous expedition that is not likely to be rerun any time soon.

[sharp solar]

Starborn Runner, previous expedition reward. Overall it's a pretty terrible exotic ship but it did come with the Photonix Core installed which many players did not have and do not have to this day so at least it had that going for it.

[main sleet]

Starborn Runner, from Expedition Omega which likely won't get rerun for a long time, get it from trading or save editor

[merry fox]

Pink wings, some black, looks like a long spine on the back.

@gloomy oak there is also these

[deep valve]

i know that pirste systems have a higher chance for solar ships but where are fighter ships more common?

[grand tinsel]

Vy'keen systems

Gek for haulers, Korvax for explorers

[muted fossil]

the one fiying, how did u get those

[muted fossil]

ya fighters, are common, u can see solar ship in space station ones in a while

[zenith bolt]

Its just a sentinel, go to the coordinates in the screenshot in Euclid galaxy, should be the sentinel ship in the system

[muted fossil]

4 charged slots ?

[wind herald]

woa wondeful

[zenith bolt]

probably nothing special layout wise, I dont usually check them tbh, as Im more bothered about how it looks than the sc slots

plus with sentinels, if HG havnt changed how they work, you get different layouts for different crashsites with sentinels

so no real point recording sc slots unless its an S class, and then you would have to go to the exact same crashsite

[zenith bolt]

The number of charged slots is tied to class of ship, so C class = 1, B class = 2, A class = 3 and S class = 4

[muted fossil]

i see

[zenith bolt]

so if you upgrade a ship, it will gain a charge slot each time to a maximum of 4

[muted fossil]

okay

Thats a guide on how to find sentinels, if you dont know how to find/locate them, they are found different to fighters etc

I should maybe read the corvette Faq, as I havnt played since they came out

[deep valve]

thank you guys..

[deep valve]

...i appreciate it!

currently trying to make myself a rasamama
im in rewmanawa (i love this galaxy) should i do some simple bases to the systems where one can find the parts or arent people generelly not that into it?

[frigid verge]

Would anyone be willing to trade me for either a iron vulture, or a starborn runner? If yes, name your price, I can get just about anything you want for it

[patent spear]

now this is peak ship design

[merry fox]

Yeah only time I note coords of a sentinel ship is if it is S, or B-A with SC slots adjacent to one another. Though I may just do for A also since they aren't super common in the grand scheme of things either.
I typically look for the dissonant system, warp in with freighter in most cases, probe, and head to the planet to either use an AI core or fight a round of sentinels to reveal a ship.

Basically find ship and repair, add to collection and move to next system.

Eventually I have to clear out the hanger though.

[zenith bolt]

Unless its a design, I really, really like, I dont even look at class or search for a better class, for me its a case of jump to the next system to find the design of the sentinel in the next system, to see if its a design I like, after posting the design and location here of course, in case someone else likes it in the future

I dont even collect it most times

I just see it as logging/documenting the ship design in the system, and when Ive done that, move onto the next. Same with exotics

[zenith bolt]

reminds me of this hauler I got in an expedition once as a starting shiphttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/212051634790858754/1205922073797464164/20240210170159_1.jpg?ex=693af973&is=6939a7f3&hm=663ddbb1494089507d95f963fa9fa73f9be80d793fd7554bcec99f2673e5d6b8&

[patent spear]

😂

[deep valve]

was the rasa cockpit removed or am i just unlucky?

[zenith bolt]

not that im aware, if you have portal unlocked, you can search for rasa in this channel for locations

if you dont, then its just luck. im not 100% sure though, as i havnt played for a number of months, but its not likely that they were removed

[deep valve]

alr thx

[zenith bolt]

but thats part of the "fun" ship hunting

[tiny flame]

what is rasa?

[deep valve]

its the front part, the cockpit of the starter ship

[deep valve]

its like a fighter-shuttle hybrid

[merry fox]

Blue with black, wide front and kind of looks like some kind of SUV with wings lol.

[muted fossil]

Ya people create small bases for farming resources in other Star systems.
That's what people are generally into doing.

[lament onyx]

I know somebody here is going to want this Rasa

Same planet

They both came to the trade post in the first and second groups. No idea about station

[zenith bolt]

Yer its random at trade outposts

So wont be same all the time

[fading latch]

how do most of you aquire the ships? purchased, or find them broken, and fix them up?

[zenith bolt]

Depends on ship, non sentinel i buy, sentinels only way is crashed

[fading latch]

another questions, do you pretty much accept all ships found, and then just sell if you dont want?

[zenith bolt]

No, i just buy what i want to keep, usually what i like look of. I might visit 100+ systems until i see one i like.

I also take screenshots with portal address on in bottom left of any i find look interesting that i might want to get another time, even if its a week, a month or a year later.

But you could always scrap them also for parts and make one

I just like the hunt, and prefer to find a premade ship i like, instead of building one, cause thats what i find "fun"

[fading latch]

and you find them with distress signals or beacons right?

Im pretty new, still learning about the game.

[zenith bolt]

Regular ships? IE fighters, haulerd solars etc, you can find them at distress beacons yes. It will just be same models at station/trade outpost, so might be worth seeing what comes in there before searching for crashed ones to see if anything you like. Crashsites are random which model it will be.

Basically there are 21 models of ship per system, so you will only ever find those models there. If you dont like them, go to another system to see another 21 models

Crash sites will be also made up of those ships of 21 models

[fading latch]

ok thank you for the info.

[zenith bolt]

When it comes to ships in nms, the main thing is find something you like look of. There is no meta best ships, once upgraded, they all perform similar.

With some slight differences.

To prove a point noobie ship fully upgraded 105k dps

More than enough to kill anything in game

Main thing at start of game is lack of money, so you either need somehow to make money to buy one or find a crashed one and repair it.

[fading latch]

I have been finding them, fixing them to flying condition and breaking them down for money. may not be the smartest way of making money.

[final isle]

Great evil-looking sentinel for yall! Black base with red accents, this one is only B Class so I don’t have a good A or S Class location. I left a save beacon at a harmonic camp (plus a comms station at a great Atlantis multitool spot). I was by the space station in these photos so the glyphs will be a little different from the actual dissonant planet

[golden pivot]

My favorite ship I have

[merry fox]

Anyone looking for a chance at an S class pirate dreadnaught, freighter tech farming, unit farming, ect...
Found a couple outlaw systems in Elucid that will always spawn the dreadnaught battle when you warp into them with a spaceship, quite close together also less than 100 LY.
Both require access to BLUE star systems (Indium drive) and both have Vy'keen as the main race.
Idorid-Hag portal coords lead to an abandoned planet with no atmosphere, screenshot of sky with planet rings.
Miwonsa portal coords a lush planet with blue grass, does have a storm once in a while so don't AFK on it...

[fast perch]

guys how to get reactor core?

[zenith bolt]

you buy it from the ship upgrade vendor in the station

[fast perch]

thank you so much

[zenith bolt]

depending on the class of reactor, will determine the class of ship, so s class reactor = s class ship

[warped crown]

Is everything not a corvette considered a "Legacy ship" now?

[random pagoda]

pretty much

[autumn iris]

not officially, just for the purposes of this discord channel

[golden pivot]

Which sentinel ship parts have the most animations

[autumn iris]

Probably the "dragonfly wings" and "tank legs", alongside the basic wing varieties

[autumn iris]

Yay, I found two of these systems that are right next to each other for once

[zenith bolt]

sometimes, i think that is how the game generates stuff sometimes. Its like I've found systems like that, but also stuff like 2x Squid systems 13LY apart, or exotics in same area all the same colour. I've no proof about such things though, might be just coincidence.

[autumn iris]

Just the pattern seeking brain seeking patterns

[merry fox]

Found two systems like the pirate one last night except they are blue stars, only about 84 ly from each other. I know I poked into a bunch of other outlaw ones in that same area that didn't spawn that event.
#nms-legacy-ships message
Doesn't seem to be a pattern to the sentinel ship types either that i can see though sometimes it may look that way.

[willow bough]

If you want an easier way, claim a wrecked ship, go to the anomoly, summon it and the landing gear with fix, i believe, then you can just scrap it whenever you go to a space station without repairing anything else

[autumn iris]

To my knowledge this has not worked for quite a few months, damaged/unfueled starships cannot be natively summoned aboard the Space Anomaly or an owned freighter

[willow bough]

Ah ok, gotcha

Ive never done it, just heard about it from a friend

[merry fox]

A couple months ago I did manage to get a sentinel ship with a busted brain into the space station to scrap it but took some swapping and believe I had to teleport to the station from my base.

All that you really need to fix on a regular ship is the landing gear (cheap really) the rest can be left.
Pulse drive if you feel like flying it to the station.

[slim flicker]

I just fix both to avoid any issues and then fly to station or salvage it later; i just keep the ingredients in my exosuit for those even as the base ingredients

[autumn iris]

I believe the Pulse Engine is required to be functional to take off

neither is required to be able to teleport to the space station with it as the primary though

[inner mango]

anyone have spare Iron Vulture Parts? dm me and ill pay handsomly

[random pagoda]

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

[merry fox]

Mostly yellow, some black trim.

Black and white sentinel.

Red with some black, looks to have a folding wing on it.

Pink with some black.

[zenith bolt]

Problem with showing sc slots on sentinel ships, they vary position depending on crash site, so a person would have to get the exact same crash site to get the same sc slot layout.

[merry fox]

Typically the 3rd screenshot i do is just to better show the color since the planet lighting varies so much.
If i have a 4th one with a cockpit view that is for the coords.

I consider it a good day when a dissonant planet has earth-like lighting.

[zenith bolt]

I agree getting a good screenshot of the colour is hard, when I used to post often, I used to take the screenshot on the freighter, and used a mod to make the lighting more "white" on the freighter to get a better colour.

as a sort of comparison with different ships though

its the 1 mod i wont play without

[merry fox]

Mine is the pirate dreadnaught so more red tint. Would be nice to change that but depends on if HG overhauls it.

[zenith bolt]

ahhh yes, thats why i wont have a pirate one, ship hunting used to be the main thing i did in game, so it wasnt worth it for me having one.

@cunning briar does your freighter lighting mod also alter pirate freighters?

[merry fox]

Even space stations vary so much.
Would have thought they would all be a certain color lighting even if each race had a slightly different shade but it is so different.

[zenith bolt]

he has one for station lighting too, not tried it, so dont know how good it is

[zenith bolt]

Rasa ftw

[merry fox]

I only built one legacy ship and that was a solar, used it for finding living frigates mostly.

[distant sparrow]

SR-71 Blackbird

[autumn iris]

That would probably be a better fit for #nms-showcase-corvettes

[valid mulch]

What are legacy ships?

[autumn iris]

This discord channel's definition for any type of ship that is not a corvette-class starship

So fighter, explorer, hauler, shuttle, exotic, living ships, solar ships and sentinel interceptors, as well as freighters and frigates

[cunning briar]

There is one for pirate freighters. I can't remember if I combined it with normal freighters

[merry fox]

Might have to look into that one.
The red isn't horrible but feels more dim.

You can add more later, if would be wildly inefficient trying to optimize initial slot count

look at my best ship!

[hallow ether]

Good kitty

[hot kite]

Guys I'm a bit confused here... so from the calculation I look up in wiki...
this frigate would have 28-(0+1*6) = 22 base stats?

or am I cooked

[modest hemlock]

no, 7

(20+2+3+3)-(15+1*6)=7

this could have gone in #nms-questions btw

[hot kite]

oh im supposed to deduct the bonus ... i forgot

thx man

[merry fox]

Black with some orange.

[keen lily]

Once I have the coordinates, how do I find a living ship? Can they be found in stations or only in space? Is there an item required to locate them once you’ve reached the coordinate system?

[autumn iris]

You must have already claimed your first living ship through the starbirth mission and have another Void Egg to seek a new ship. Also, the post must have the latitude and longitude of the crash site listed. Follow the second half of this guide if all of those are reached
#nms-questions message

[keen lily]

Thank you very much!

[arctic spade]

Is there any way to get a wraith after the expedition?

Or am I just cooked

[autumn iris]

Only using mods/save editing on PC, or the service bot

[arctic spade]

Dang that sucks

[autumn iris]

The service bot is available to use on all platforms that accept multiplayer and can crossplay with Steam, though it may be locked behind a paywall currently idk

[arctic spade]

What’s the service bot?

[autumn iris]

https://nomansapp.com/ the Expedition Reward Unlocker service is what you want

[arctic spade]

Tysm

Having to subscribe to their patreon to actually order is crazy work

[autumn iris]

I guess it's better than the true impossibility of stuff like that on console

normally it's free to use 3 times a month per user, but high traffic has made it go into a subscriber-only mode that I keep assuming has already ended

[supple quartz]

Players can trade you the ship @arctic spade

Happy to do that for ya

Tho it will not unlock the reward as a claimable on any save current or future.

[arctic spade]

Dude I’d really appreciate it, if you want I can dm you the glyphs to my world if you want

[supple quartz]

I’ve dm you matey, just need friend code

[arctic spade]

Playing rivals rn ima need an hour or two

Or we could just do it tmr

[supple quartz]

All good, when ya ready just reply to your DMs

[merry fox]

Orange, with either light gray or white wings.

Orange

Orange, with some light gray or white

[silk viper]

ok.. i think i messed up. i tried to do the reconfiguration online for optimized tech but... my stats plumetted

???

wheres the rest of my stats?

[autumn iris]

Open the pause menu, then go back to the inventory

this bug is caused by viewing the multitool inventory

[silk viper]

ok thank you that was WEIRD

My stats went from like 2k manoeuverability to 850...

or close to

I moved a few things based on where my supercharged slots are.. that helped, but my damage potential seems low

[autumn iris]

The damage potential in that reading isn't something to go off of

hover over individual core weapons

[silk viper]

photon cannon can do 6351 dps

[autumn iris]

and at that, different weapons can't really be compared to each other directly

[hot kite]

That's some crazy rolls.... too bad there's DR and -expedition duration

[worldly karma]

Does anyone have a giant Corvette I could use as a reference for a capital ship

[tranquil sigil]

Better off asking in #nms-corvette-discussion this channel is only for normal ships

[worldly karma]

Thank you

[honest lava]

Orange-Black

[molten dust]

Oh, I like that

[golden pivot]

Any ships that you’ve found that looks like a Fighter jet ?

[autumn iris]

Basically any Fighter tbh

I like this one

[golden pivot]

I wish they had forward swept wings for fighters

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2f/aa/1b/2faa1b5742b6f3e57326ff7d9804067d.jpg

Like this

How rare are s class fighters ?

[autumn iris]

Same as any other S-Class thing

[obsidian axle]

look what i finally got

[hot kite]

Nice

Look's just like the kind of Starship I want.

if it's black with silver/red lining/accent I would love to have the coordinate

[hard ruin]

Kylo Ren’s tie interceptor

[main sleet]

To get a fighter, there's a specific starship pool for each system, which differs with race (there's 3 set explorers, haulers and fighters + 4 specialists differing with system) so for your best chances, go in a Vy'keen system.

As for the odds of it being S-Class, look at the message below yours :) so ideally get a Vy'keen Pirate system

[little osprey]

Does anyone know any ways to find extoic ships easily? i've been trying to get the squid looking one for a while and have been having no luck find it lol

[supple spade]

I've heard of a pirate battle method that works pretty quickly with reloading. Been meaning to look it up

[autumn iris]

Sitting at a trade outpost and saving+reloading after 5 ships have landed can make exotic ships land much quicker (due to cycling through more ships in less time), though squid ship designs are 1/20 of all exotic ship designs and each system only has one design, so you may need to do this in many different systems or follow portal glyph coordinates to a system that is known to have a squid.

[nimble stump]

Do you want to find them yourself or just aquire one?

[zenith bolt]

I dont know if freighter battle method works anymore, i dont know if anyone has tested it in the 6 months i have been out of game. Last time i tested it, it didnt work on playstation but did on steam. Had noone on xbox to test. They dont spawn during pirate dreadnought battles, just the old skool freighter battles

The other method i really know that used to work, was the freighter pulse method, but relied you having a freighter, with virtually no ship slots taken up.

Apart from that is the save and reload method that Grouch suggests.

I personally these days, just sit at a trade outpost and let them cycle, and go semi afk with the volume up, so i can hear the distinctive engine sound when they land.

[autumn iris]

Personally have had many more exotic ships spawn during freighter battles and even pirate dreadnought battles than should normally be there, they make up like half of the ones I see

idk how the "strategy" works but something from that is still there, even if it's not able to be reliably replicated

[zenith bolt]

Didnt used to spawn during dread battles

But then i havnt played for 6 months so may of changed

It will probably be something i can test end of the week when i finish work for xmas break

Ive over 45 squids listed on this channel if you want a specific colour, if you just want a squid, there may be also crashed versions around on here or other sites

[signal gulch]

Anybody know where I can find sentinel ships specifically with 4 adj charged slots, I want to get a good one for combat

[autumn iris]

I've found many that upgrade into layouts with 4 adjacent supercharged slots at the very least

[signal gulch]

thanks 🙏 these look really cool

i was also wondering what kind of wings these are

[autumn iris]

Those are these wings on https://nmsce.com/, called "U-Wings" there, most people call them "Dragonfly Wings". They are folded when landed, but extend when in flight

they are quite an uncommon thing for them to have

[signal gulch]

Do you happen to have any good ships with those?

[autumn iris]

I've found many dozens with them, though I'd consider any sentinel ship good. If you don't like the supercharged slot one has, you can seek more crash sites on the same planet as it for different supercharged slot layouts. The crash site's initial layout is tied per the crash site, but slots added with class upgrading are tied to the design of the ship which is shared across the same star system.

[signal gulch]

oh yeah I found the one i want, tysm for your help 👍

[pale python]

Kind of like this?

[supple spade]

That is one Yes

[sour night]

are there any outright better parts for making fighters or should i just go with the stuff i think looks cool

[autumn iris]

Whatever you believe looks cooler

[sour night]

oh cool
cos like the catalogue lists some wings as having more slots

[autumn iris]

Oh yes, certain larger wings do give the ship a larger starting inventory, but this can be increased regardless to the same maximums

[sour night]

oh ok then

[hidden drum]

Anyone got a left dragonfly explorer wing?

[merry fox]

Few more ships I found...
Looks like light gray or white/off white.

Orange.

Orange, only a B but coords provided if anyone wants to find where SC slots 3 and 4 end up.

[zenith bolt]

Black Sentinel Interceptor

Yellow and White needlenosed fighter

[hot kite]

Got lucky to find S rank shuttle that doesn't bloat at the back.

It actually looks decent

[wintry trellis]

I have almost that exact fighter but in Grey and red.
That yellow one is pretty neat!

Ah different nose, but otherwise it has the same modules.

[burnt jay]

Does anyone have any spare void eggs on ps5

[zenith bolt]

Might have better luck in trade channel, or asking in anomoly in game.

[neon acorn]

what's the ship you get that cool pulse drive mod off?

only comes off the one ship

[tiny flame]

starborne runner I think

[neon acorn]

kk

[merry fox]

Main color looks to be pink.

Yellow interceptor.

[merry fox]

Pink dragonfly?

Looks to be orange again.

[rustic scaffold]

Interesting ship

[supple quartz]

Photonix core? Comes pre installed on the starborn runner, previously available as a blueprint for players that bought the limited edition ps4 version.

Note that you cannot obtain this item from player trading or by trading the ship due to how ships are rerolled after a NPC trade.

For it to be installed in the ship, you need to obtain the ship as a claimable reward by completing the expedition, the expedition run time is well over and unlikely to have a rerun again, at the moment you can obtain the item by using a save editor (just add the item as a known tech) , mod or service bot (expedition unlocker)

[zenith bolt]

Yep i use a mod, that makes them craftable via unlocking at anomoly, for immersion

[supple quartz]

I like that, I just add the item item as know tech which allows them to be installed, but I do love mods when they integrate these items as if they were part of the general game.

[plucky oriole]

I love the old ships, i've been having a fun time collecting them

[zenith bolt]

@sharp solar @low ingot Quick sample of exotic ships, going off this small sample, I would say exotics dont get an Outlaw stat nerf.

[merry fox]

Not sure if my freighter has lower hyperdrive range or not, it was an S class dread out of a pirate system, but what i use one for im more concerned about inventory space.

I set it up for fuel efficient warping while exploring a cluster of systems looking for sentinel ships.

Happened to scroll up in the one channel and seen the debate over nerfed stats.

[zenith bolt]

I know it was studied many years ago 4 or 5, but Im not sure if freighters were really done as stats in the grand scheme of things arnt that important to 99% of people on freighters as getting as S class is a bigger benefit. People were more interested in Multitool and ship damage at the time, especially people who did structured pvp in game. Over time, things may or may not of changed, so its always a good idea to see what we think is true or was true at an earlier time, is still true now, as all it takes is for Hello Games to change something or make a typo and things can change. Especially on a discord that tries to educate people on the game, its best to have the most accurate info.

As this is a ship discussion channel, I just thought it a better place to have such a debate here.

@low ingot I'm not convinced that sentinel ships get nerfed, just had a couple of naturals in outlaw with 74 and 75 damage stat, where top is 80.

[low ingot]

So could be that I just pulled 3 weak rolls. Yeah, 3 isn't really a good sample size

[zenith bolt]

yer i just done 4, its harder to find outlaw/dissonant systems than exotics in a outlaw system

74, 66, 63 and 75 is what ive had 4 ships

[merry fox]

Ive just been going for the looks, wasn't paying attention to stats.
I have the interceptor I want and that came from a regular system had to upgrade from C I believe.

[zenith bolt]

Alot of old timers, myself included, are like you and get for the looks. Alot of new people though must have the best sc slots and stats.

[merry fox]

I do like that for most, they can just get a nice looking ship and once upgraded wont have to worry about not being able to win a fight against NPCs.

[merry fox]

Yeah so many games push min/max but typically a sandbox type is far more relaxed.

[zenith bolt]

yer ive maxxed out noobie ship before now, and its been fine

[merry fox]

Even my portable factory corvette does fine in battle.
And that has about the worst SC layout that I can think of. Don't know if any weapon ended up in a SC slot or not.

[tiny flame]

if I claim a crashed ship, scrap it, and go back to the location, can I get the same ship (same seed?) again?

[zenith bolt]

probably have to get one from a different crash site

probably wont respawn for a few days at that site

tens of crashsites on a planet though

[tiny flame]

well if I wait like a month, are you saying it will respawn?

[autumn iris]

It's not related to time, just the amount of stored interactions your future actions take up

once the game has seen you do enough things since then, it will discard old unimportant stuff

that eventually being the fact you claimed this random crashed ship in system whatevertheheck

[tiny flame]

oh, interesting, so if I scrap it, claim like 1000 other shíps and scrap them, it might respawn?

[autumn iris]

It absolutely will after 1,000, yeah

you'd probably be doing a bunch of other things between that which would also count towards the same interactions

[tiny flame]

if people build a base with a landing bay on a crashed ship location, and you buy the ship from the pilot instead of claiming and repairing it, is it the same seed as the crashed ship?

[zenith bolt]

yes

building bases next to crash ships can bug them out, not advised

people sometimes have difficulty accessing the ship

or it flies off if landing pad nearby

[tiny flame]

well I guess it's ok if it's the same seed

[compact quarry]

I’m stuck making a decision. I wanna make a cool custom ship, but do I make a fighter or hauler?

[tiny flame]

it's a matter of taste. I like fighter cockpits better, so I'd choose a fighter.

[lean echo]

Id have a hard time choosing too. Haulers have grown on me, I even found a screenshot of a hauler I flew at some point I cant even remember, but I love the vibes

[compact quarry]

I’m gonna do a hauler. Anyone have coords or an inv to a system with titan hauler wings?

[autumn iris]

At best I have this one, they are very rare

[compact quarry]

That will do! What is the easiest way to get glyphs early game?

[autumn iris]

#nms-commands message Easiest is by completing the main story, you could get them "sooner" using the other methods listed, including getting the first two glyphs and using them to go to this system to collect the rest from prefound locations

[compact quarry]

Oof. I guess I’ll just do the main story

I did manage to make a hundred million units by buying and scrapping ships, even getting an exotic ship.

I added 3 s class hyperdrives to my radiant pillar to make things a bit easier

[compact quarry]

Pre found?

[autumn iris]

As in the grave locations are documented in the image

[compact quarry]

Ah. I think it will be easier to just do the story.

[austere vine]

How rare are royal exotics exactly?

Cause I found 3 in about 2 hours of gameplay

[autumn iris]

1 in 301 to spawn as any ship spawn

each system only has one design for them

[austere vine]

2 within 20 minutes

[austere vine]

Yea I know that but I couldn’t find any exact spawn chances online

[lean echo]

In terms of exotics, theyre the more common one

[austere vine]

Yea

Now I’ve gotta find a squid ship

lol

[left bridge]

Should I buy it?

[austere vine]

Yesh

[zenith bolt]

If you like it

[austere vine]

One of the three I found was a red one of those lol

That one has better hyperdrive range tho

This is the other one I found

[autumn iris]

That's because it has it's hyperdrive in a supercharged slot

[austere vine]

Ah that makes sense

[zenith bolt]

Exotics are easy to find if you know how

[austere vine]

I usually use a sublight engine enhancement in my supercharged slot

Cause I like to beat my friends in races

lol

[lean echo]

Finding an exotic is usually not where the struggle is

Im trying to remember whether or not I've encountered a squid ship on my primary save, lol

[austere vine]

What is the highest hyperdrive range possible?

[lean echo]

For ships? Roughly 3500 ly

[austere vine]

I haven’t seen one yet but if I find one I’m snatching it up

[lean echo]

You might be able to push 4k ly with a corvette, but thats for another channel

Freighters can get 6000 ly range

[north dove]

I found a white and gold one today

[sour night]

should i save and hop between systems for good stats when fabricating a ship or nah

[zenith bolt]

up to you, depends how long you wanna do it for

Ive fabricated like 2 ships in 3000 hours so cant really say more than that

Blue Sentinel Interceptor, Purple Star system

[thorny lark]

Does the star system affect sentinel ships? I thought it was just randomly generated

[tiny flame]

I think they're just saying you need access to purple star systems to use the published portal address.

[zenith bolt]

What Inxi said, if people like it, i dont want them getting frustrated if they trying to portal there, but dont have purple stars unlocked. I used to see it all the time, that people couldnt find a ship as if you dont have them unlocked, it will just dump you in a nearby system.

For the extra 5 seconds it takes me to write it, its worth it to not frustrate folks.

[thorny lark]

👍

[vague cave]

worth it or not? It's some crashed ship and I'm kinda lazy to fix it

[modern halo]

@desert spruce

[compact quarry]

What do we think of the colors?

Or is the orange/white version more appealing?

[compact quarry]

And is darker orange better than lighter orange?

[strange grove]

Yea it's probably the best ship your gonna find unless your in a wealthy systems and it's a outlaw system then you have like 5 perecent change to get a S class ship otherwise you have like a 1 perecent chance

[compact quarry]

I really like the outcome

[winter obsidian]

Pretty fancy looking yeh

[winter obsidian]

Hell yeah

[hot kite]

Huh, so it took me 5 expeditions to get this. I guess Living ships very soon in this 1 week save.

[fathom trout]

What interceptor color is considered rare? if there's any considered as such

[autumn iris]

IME grey, pink

grey as in a primary/secondary color, not as the procedural parts that come hard-coded as grey

[fathom trout]

OK

[autumn iris]

like this

[fathom trout]

That's Grey?

Oh hang on

[autumn iris]

The primary color is grey, yes

[fathom trout]

Sorry, I see the grey, that top half isnt it?

[autumn iris]

This is another that's primary color is grey, it's secondary color is white

[fathom trout]

I see, cool thanks

[hot kite]

This thing is sick, i wish it has wing part tho... can't find the variation I wanted.

[fathom trout]

I think this is double white, isn't it?

[dreamy crypt]

The lower wing part has diffrent shade i think

Still looks nice

[fathom trout]

Yeah I think I might keep that, especially that two of its upgrade SC slots are in diagonal of a 2x2, could potentially find one with the other diagonal

[autumn iris]

Yes, that is double white

[normal coyote]

did you guys know that landing bay in dreadnought hides these beauties?

[dreamy crypt]

Pirate frigates have them in the open

[pale python]

And corvettes. The Torpedo Launchers.

[normal coyote]

yeah those are pretty obvious 😄 but i fell through the dreadnought apparently for the first time xD

[sour night]

first interceptor

[solar sentinel]

Is there a difference between Pirate frigates and combat frigates?

Do the pirate frigates launch missiles?

[autumn iris]

Not functionally

[autumn iris]

Only when as enemies during Pirate Dreadnought Events

[solar sentinel]

Oh darn that's lame

So the cool thing about them and they only do as enemies

So they launch fighters at least?

Alright, thanks for the info!

[autumn iris]

Most likely, as that's what combat frigates do

[slim quail]

I think i’ve had only one instance of one of my combat frigates warping to me to launch fighters

[autumn iris]

They only do so when your freighter is in the same star system as you, and there is at least one available combat frigate

[lean echo]

I think pirate frigates can have higher stats in trade and/or industrial

And I've heard that its only combat frigates that will assist you in battle

[slim quail]

i’ve had all those requirements met

it just doesn’t for me

I always have my freighter in system with me because its my storage hub

[sour night]

is it just me or do interceptors have ridiculously high hyperdrive range

[fathom trout]

They do have a high range yes, but I think explorers are higher still

But even then, 2000 LY is plenty for visiting any neighbours

Much better than fighters 1000LY at least

[slim flicker]

I usually get sentinel ships on expedition if i can and then i never have to really or barely upgrade the hyperdrive range for that expedition

[terse lily]

Elvis style

[brisk raptor]

Ngl i dont think ive seen a SMALLER ship than this, it has nothing on it

and i thought this was small

[manic vortex]

This one is a bug, the wings on it didnt load for me the first time i found one, normally theyre a lot bigger

Overkill or nah for a two star?

[fathom trout]

I have a similar one, but I lost the coords for it

[terse lily]

Sky blue crim tipped dragonfly

[fathom trout]

How did you spend to find an S of each ship?

[terse lily]

I didn't find them as S class, I upgraded them

[fathom trout]

Ah

[terse lily]

This one is a natural S class

[fathom trout]

So you just found one, upgraded that to S, took screenshots and went to next star?

[terse lily]

Pretty much. Once I find one with slots I like, I post it and then I go off to find more

I'm not too fussy about natural S class ships as most of them have bad slots

[fathom trout]

I understand, I just wasn't sure if they were natural S's or raised S's

[terse lily]

90% of ships I post are raised

I've spent the time getting S class versions bit like I say most of them ended up disappointing so I just dont bother

[fathom trout]

Yeah, I thought getting a proper laid out S was too unreliable from a probability point of view

[terse lily]

For me they're not worth it overall. You do get slightly better stats with an S class but tbh you can get more out of a good slot layout imo

[fathom trout]

Yep

Although I admit, you seem to be getting a lot of 3+1's 😄

[terse lily]

I don't post anything unless it has at least 3 slots together

Gotta keep them standards high lol

[fathom trout]

XD

I was spending time keeping track of where the SC slots show up after each upgrade

[terse lily]

Aah I see. I tried all kinds of things but tbh I think the slot layout is just totally random

I used to try fixing multi tools so the slot could be used by a supercharger, but it hardly ever lands where you think or hope it will lol

[fathom trout]

Agree

[terse lily]

Spot of orange anyone? Lol

[fathom trout]

I think I used up all of my luck on the tools, got an atlantid tool with a tetris S layout after upgrades, didnt keep the location, and my sentinel was a "comma" shape, also pretty good

[terse lily]

Oh nice

I've found some banging multi tools

Found a couple of T shape slot ones

In staff form

Gold/purpley blue dragonfly

[fathom trout]

interceptors spawn on abandoned systems?

[manic vortex]

Natural S, i added like 6 cargo slots but tech slots are natural too

[fathom trout]

Bullying freighters seem to be better for farming AI fragments

No need to land at space station after every carrier and they don't spawn the infinite waves, and you skip one wave

[hot kite]

I've been looking everywhere, I can't seem to find a Tall Fin + V Large Wing Royal Exotic. Is it impossible to generate? I can only find Mosquito Exotic with said Fin and Wing.

[split breach]

it's not possible to generate a ship like that

the front spikes / antennas and the top wing / fin are actually 1 cockpit part

and it comes only in 2 variants: royal (double spike with short fin) and mosquito (single spike with long fin)

[hot kite]

So Mosquito always comes with Tall Fin while Royal always come with short fin?

Damn

[split breach]

yup

[hot kite]

I guess I'm getting Side booster royal instead then. I was hoping for Large Thruster + Tall Fin + V-Wing Royal. But oh well

ngl V-Wing looks better docked than in-flight

[split breach]

royal and mosquito combinations, no other spike + fin combos can exist

[hot kite]

😭

[split breach]

the 3rd option being the guppy, no front spike no top fin

[hot kite]

also wtf that took you a minute to find them

[split breach]

just a ball with a little harness thingy

I got a collection of screenshots

[hot kite]

Are you perhaps related to Sentinel ship catalogue guy

😂

I should buy him a coffee later

@split breach Do you prefer side booster or small wing on Royal? They both look good to me

[split breach]

I don't know, I don't fly an exotic

[boreal lion]

I mean, you can't have more than an expedition at a time so why not just send the whole fleet

[fathom trout]

You can have more than 1 ongoing expedition

[hot kite]

No such thing as too much Combat Power. Gotta raise your Fleet to slay Pirates for Breakfast.

[manic vortex]

Also sent out on a two star trade mission with 150 trade stat

[zenith bolt]

i personally like winglets over side boosters

but then i only fly Guppies or Royals when it comes to exotics

[hot kite]

ngl the side booster should be a separate part
