[merry fox]

I just take screenshots and call it a day... Not sure what the part names are either.

[dreamy crypt]

Drum wing (obelisk)

[merry fox]

Im starting to think some part combinations have a low chance to be on a sentinel ship, haven't seen one like mine even in a different color.

[autumn iris]

Drum Wing (Obelisk)

[marsh yarrow]

ah oki

[ashen ravine]

cute little S class i stumbled upon today

[wicked epoch]

Trying to have a full squadron of sentinel ships, so I grabbed 4 matching ships from a planet, released all of my current squad members and headed to a space station. . . .

1st ship I traded, pilot disappeared instantly and did not show up at his new ship. I watched it fly away. 2nd pilot worked! 3rd and 4th pilots hung around but did not have the options to recruit, just trade, offer to buy ship and dismiss. So I went 1 of 4. Do I need to go to different space stations? 😵‍💫🤯🥴

[autumn iris]

3rd and 4th were due to it being the exact same npc pilot, due to same ship in the same system

you should have tried in a different star system for each of them

[wicked epoch]

Will do next time, kinda what I was thinking

Dude just parked the sentinel and came back in an explorer lol

I did get an exotic from the 2nd guy, the one that worked

[errant egret]

I got my S-class pirate dreadnought, but I don’t have a supercharged slot. Is that normal?

[autumn iris]

Have you unlocked all of the first 30 technology slots? If not, then that is completely normal

Supercharged slots can be in any of the first 30 technology slots of starships and freighters, even in slots that you have yet to unlock using inventory upgrades

[errant egret]

I got it with 23 technology slots, now 25

[wheat otter]

They are finally here.

Pirate Figther and Organic Starship and Sentinel Starship

There is a planet that Similar to the foundation series Trantor or Synnax?

[zenith bolt]

Turquoise and black sentinel interceptor, euclid

[plucky oriole]

Hey everyone! So, does each star system have an exotic that can show up or do some star systems not have any, or what?

[autumn iris]

All inhabited systems have one design that will eventually always show up

Even abandoned systems have one that could appear as a crashed ship I believe, but not likely to find that

[plucky oriole]

fascinating, thanks!

What's a good hyperdrive range to go for? 2000ish?

[autumn iris]

2,000 is a fine number to reach for exotic and sentinel ships ime

though directly reaching it may be a lot harder than getting somewhat close

[zenith bolt]

Depends how far you normally warp, personally i dont warp much over 500ly, so anything above that is wasted.

For expeditions, where you are warping longer distances, a larger warp drive is needed. Personally more important than distance is efficiencey, so your warps dont take as much fuel and so you fuel up less.

[plucky oriole]

well i cruise through the galaxy as far as i can go on one full hyperdrive tank towards the center. when i run out i'll stop and explore the areas around it a while before continuing

[zenith bolt]

wheras most of my time is ship hunting, so I jump system to system

1350 on my solar atm

[plucky oriole]

yeah i mix in that and fishing and stuff so my movement through is not exactly speedy hehe

[autumn iris]

Then a freighter may be more optimal for that, as those can reach up to 5,000 without much trouble

[zenith bolt]

or an explorer

[plucky oriole]

yeah i have ane xplorer it has.. 2073? for distance, i just wasn't sure if i should min max that somehow or if that's pretty good

[zenith bolt]

ive seen better

like was said, mainly depends how far you going

[autumn iris]

Corvettes can also reach similar ranges to an explorer, mine with 3,000 is enough

[zenith bolt]

not looked into corvettes yet and what their warp range etc is like

4800?

[autumn iris]

Idk, I don't supercharge it

When I tried, it didn't get much higher than what I wanted

[zenith bolt]

yer most ive had on explorer is 4883, but that was just an experiment with an explorer with best warp bonus's, i dont use it as dont warp far. i just have it archived

[burnt oar]

ive been wanting to build the celestial eye mothership as a corvette for a while now and i cant wrap my head around it bc of some the shapes

i always just go back to bare bones bc the nose of the ship always looks way off

[autumn iris]

Well this channel is about non-corvette starships, freighters, frigates etc. If you would like to discuss corvette-class starship designs/etc, #nms-corvette-discussion may be a better place

[burnt oar]

idek how i didnt see that lol

[nimble hawk]

i realized my home system has a first wave exotic

is that good or rare?

[nimble stump]

Do you happen to have the glyphs for that one? I've been looking for one like that

[autumn iris]

I have coordinates to one that is at the very least extremely similar, though it's secondary color is different

[nimble stump]

Thats perfect!

Thank you!

[bitter fractal]

found this cool ball today

[bitter fractal]

oops no coords in that shot, here they are

[merry fox]

Can't remember what color the system is but that would be the portal address.

[autumn iris]

That is a purple star system.

[merry fox]

Quite a few of the ones i found have been.

[autumn iris]

Purple star systems have their second glyph as and

[merry fox]

Thought I went back and took new screenshots of it one time but cant seem to find them.
Up until that one hadn't even bothered saving coords or anything since most were generic orange ones I didn't like.

[nimble stump]

Sweet! Thank you!

[ebon trellis]

found a tri-wing earlier

[lavish bay]

found an exotic ship

how do i share co ords

[autumn iris]

By opening photo mode and looking in the bottom left. If you're on PC, you'll need to screenshot externally to capture the glyphs in the photo

[lavish bay]

Why do all these exotic ships look so similar

[autumn iris]

They have a limited amount of variety, probably due to their rarity

[lavish bay]

s class exotic

[zenith bolt]

all exotics are s class, 1 of reasons people like them

[gritty crow]

Looks like flappy bird

[dapper breach]

If there all s class ships can I ask how i would get an exotic Mr deaths tranding man

Please

[ashen ravine]

found myself a new ride

[dapper breach]

How do you get cool af ships like that????

Mines a rectangle with an engine and guns

[autumn iris]

Those are sentinel ships, which aren't found in the normal places you find ships at #nms-commands message

[ashen ravine]

what Grouch said, every system has a unique sentinel ship design

[autumn iris]

Well, each system that has crashed sentinel interceptor ships in it, which are those with inhabited dissonant worlds

[ashen ravine]

every viable* system

[elder vector]

wth i literally got an identical ship 2 days ago, same color and everything

nvm yours is black, mines gray

[dapper breach]

I've looked all over dissonant planets I've found 3 and I'm currently using one just because of its stats but they are all square tubes

[dapper breach]

ITS SYSTEM BASED!

That explains much

So many missions in a single system

[autumn iris]

very fitting that this orange/gold exotic is found on such an orange/gold planet planet

[lavish bay]

I have 2 exotic ships with the same orange color and very similar design

Boring

I want some different colors tbh

[autumn iris]

I like their lack of variety, it makes me want to collect them all

[ashen ravine]

took me 3 hours... but S acquired 🥵

[broken crystal]

they just spawn randomly in stations the same as other ships, but only 1 exotic ship can spawn per system so if you see one you don't like then you gotta move on

there are 2 types, the ball and the squid, but the ball is much more common because it has a bunch of different variants competing for space while the squid is (I think) unique

[broken crystal]

I only have 1 exotic and it's a red and yellow tri-wing, I'm only gonna get another one when I find a really good colour

[nimble stump]

Why did it take so long? Just bad luck or how were you looking?

[fathom trout]

S ranks are just not common

[nimble stump]

It took me about 15 minutes to find one. If i try for a specific sc configuration then it would take longer.

The longest it took for a sentinel s class was 1 hour.

Maybe I'm just lucky. Which is weird because rngesus usually ignores me.

[blissful kettle]

found a tank looking interceptor

[ashen ravine]

found this #nms-legacy-ships message then proceeded to spam the harmonic camp for new coordinates until S class

unless there's a better/quicker way

[fathom trout]

I would personally have just scrapped a couple, kept an A class, used the scrapping money to hop 2 dozen or so Pirate stations, buy out all of their suspicious packages, opened them, sold them for nanites and used the said nanites to upgrade the kept interceptor

[nimble stump]

Same camp or new one each time?

[ashen ravine]

same

[nimble stump]

Weird. Guess I am just lucky then. Probably would have done what frostnburn suggested after a few

[ashen ravine]

i was intent on finding a natural S for the allegedly slightly higher base stats 😅

[fathom trout]

I generally hunt for better SC layout than better stats 😛

[ashen ravine]

i have thousands of hours in ARPGs so I'm used to grinding 😄

[nimble stump]

They have better stats? I thought upgraded had the same as natural

[fathom trout]

I generally tend to actually grind B classes, because I can then check which SC slots they get when they upgrade, if their new SC slots connect, I then farm that star to get a ship with the "other" two SC slots, or perhaps a different configuration, for example, disconnected 2 sets of two for more balanced tech loadouts.

Grinding S class just for the dice roll takes way too long, IMHO

[ashen ravine]

interesting, is there a meta for what people usually supercharge or just personal preference?

[fathom trout]

Personal preference, some like to juice their weapon, some wants a bit of both. I have 2 SCs on weapons and another 2 on pulse drive

[zenith bolt]

Black Sentinel Interceptor, Euclid Galaxy. Purple Star System

[ashen ravine]

interesting colors on this one

[zenith bolt]

I always like interesting colour combinations or part combinations

[ashen ravine]

another unique one, almost looks like a sentinel hauler

[honest lava]

It looks like the kind of thing that made the construction supervisor say... damn, I don't feel like climbing the ladder - I'll skip the upper part 😄

[zenith bolt]

Red n off-white needle nosed Fighter, Euclid

[terse lily]

Nah, you don't need to. Sharing is caring. People use my stuff all the time, which is why I do this.

This ones not too bad

[terse lily]

I have this in red and I have a black one too

I like haulers

[terse lily]

True, and not even worth it 99% of the time. Natural S-class ships almost ALWAYS have bad slots, so you'd be better off without the S imo

I've honestly never found an S class ship that's worked out better than a good slot one.

This one is a beast

Personally I love the shape of this one

[zenith bolt]

I very rarely even look at slots, when you have seen 100s of sentinels, I much perfer how unique it looks, be it design or colour

[terse lily]

I start by finding a sentinel I like the look of, then I search for a good slots one

This is why I find beautiful ships that are very good also in terms of function

[zenith bolt]

I dont mind people sharing, I'd just like credit for the find.

[terse lily]

I hear you, but giving credit for ships with bad slots, I'm not sure it's warranted tbh. Also, it's not difficult to find a good looking sentinel, so for that reason too it's probably not worth seeking credit.

Your ship, the one that guy asked you about? I have a black and grey one, a black and blue one, and an all black one

[terse lily]

You can build these yourself, and with whatever slots you like

So no credit needed there

Just saying

👍

[terse lily]

This is unique in looks though. I've not seen this shape yet

But I've had ones similar.

[fathom venture]

alright thanks

thanks for the coords

[terse lily]

You're welcome anytime 🫡

[fathom venture]

hey anyone got any sleek black with red sentinal interceptors from euclid

[autumn iris]

I have a few!

[fathom venture]

damn, thanks

[nimble stump]

But just a few

[merry palm]

so I wasn't playing when living ships became a thing...is it worth trying to get one now? just to say i have one

[wicked epoch]

If its worth it to you, its worth it to you 😇 I have 2 and they're parked untill my living frigates bring back enough upgrades, but I dont regret having them.

I also like that they recharge most if not all systems with asteroid materials. Im forever sentinel or living so all I need is purple stuff or asteroid stuff 😁

[merry palm]

yeah i went and got a sentinel cause that was cool...just hear theres a lot more work to getting a living so im hesitant lol

[wicked epoch]

Not REALLY more work, just more time. Its like a 5 or 6 step process and each one has like a 24 hour timer

[merry palm]

yeah i guess i associate time waiting with work 😄

[wicked epoch]

If you had to wait 24h for the dissonant spike to reveal, then24 to get the brain, then 24 to fix the brain, then 24 to put back in the ship itd be the same

[merry palm]

sounds like a mobile game 😄

[wicked epoch]

Its a nice little side quest

[green meteor]

Sorry my photo mode in game isn't working so the quality might be a bit off

[sonic fox]

That goes kinda hard tbh

[green meteor]

Yeah i just found a random station while searching for glyphs, it literally had the best possible sc slot layout for my build, also I think I am proud with this

[sonic fox]

That's cool tbh

[green meteor]

I find it more rewarding to make a custom ship with only 3 sc slots connected and not the best dmg potential then find a the best interceptor in the game if it is not really mine

[sonic fox]

Hell yeah.

[green meteor]

Frfr

It still has 80k dps

[tight zealot]

Guys, what's the weirdest exotic ship you have ever found? In terms of colors and shape

[green meteor]

Never found one 😔

Oh let's go I am familiar now

[zenith bolt]

Are there any weird colours or shape?

There are only 301 possible exotic part/colour variations, dunno if id call any weird

[tight zealot]

Or well, more than weird, not common

[elder vector]

don’t all colors have the same rarity? or im stupid

[zenith bolt]

Yep they do

[tight zealot]

Nevermind, then lol

[zenith bolt]

Purple squid maybe, or grey/black one

Cause basically there are no other naturally purple ships

[tight zealot]

Yoo, nice!

Do we know the actual chances of seeing a squid in general?

[autumn iris]

Each system has one exotic ship design, 1/20 of those designs are squid ships

[tight zealot]

Wait, there are 20 exotic designs?!!

[autumn iris]

No, there are not

[tight zealot]

I thought there were only 4

Oh, okay, okay

or 3

[autumn iris]

5% of all exotic ship designs are squid ships

[tight zealot]

Okay, okay

[autumn iris]

There's a lot more than 4!

The "royal" exotic ships have a ton of variations, all with that ball look. Though they only have 5 possible primary colors and 2 possible secondary colors

[tight zealot]

WHAT

[autumn iris]

the "squid" ones make up 5% of all of them, and have one shape with their only variation being a ton of possible primary colors

[tight zealot]

I'm ashamed for how little I know about this after so much time

[zenith bolt]

ive found over 650 exotics and probably still not found all the possible combinations

[merry fox]

Definitely less than sentinel ship combinations though.

[autumn iris]

Coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb

[tight zealot]

LMFAOOO

[autumn iris]

Exotic ships are by far the least variant ships, specifically so it's realistic to be able to find the one you want since they're already very rare/time consuming to find

Sentinel ships are the exact opposite and understanding their possible variations is the most confusing process ever, I fully expect them to never burden the player with this through ship building

[tight zealot]

I think the only one I got took me like 45 minutes sitting on a trading post lol

In a pirate system

[autumn iris]

It takes the same amount of time in all systems, but yeah that's around how long it can take

[green meteor]

I actually think that adding sentinel ships to the fabricator would be goated since the specific combination of parts and colours you want is basically impossible, it would not work

The other ships are man (I mean like korvax, gek, vy keen) made but sentinel ones are specifically like crashed and not a man made one

The fabricator is basically how the normal ships are made

[lean echo]

I think if they made sentinel ships able to be fabricated, it would have to be expensive and difficult to do

[merry fox]

Black with some orange.
Was going back through some systems I had discovered not too long after I had started, and this system might have been the one I was pointed to after the purple star system quest... But not really sure. Has a waterworld in the system I explored but never looked on the dissonant planet until today.

[terse lily]

@merry palm you can actually farm living ships really quickly. You just gotta dupe some void eggs, and you're good to go

[terse lily]

Can I ask you, since you're going back to places you previously discovered, have you had to reclaim the planets and creatures? I'm asking because I've had to do that on a hell of a lot of discoveries from 2 months ago.

When I reclaim them, my name and the date I previously claimed them appears instead of rhe question mark. Really weird.

[lean echo]

The game has a cache of the discoveries you made, and as long as you upload them, theyll say discovered by you on the date you discovered them, but it doesnt hold onto it for your save

Im guessing its to prevent save file bloat

[dreamy crypt]

They weight like nothing..shame that game forgets what u discovered and u have to discover it again to see that it was discovered already.

Game should download the discoveries when u warp into the system so u could see everything that was already discovered and save u time.

[lean echo]

Small bits add up, as I have learned from modding ksp

Though I do think there should be an option for keeping discovery details

[ashen ravine]

nice grayscale on this one

[near forge]

which galaxy is this

[merry fox]

Yeah ive been rescanning stuff, oh well more units.

Some things dont seem to last very long in the discoveries.

[muted carbon]

Ball

[merry fox]

Small little guppy, not sure where the cargo space is though.

[zenith bolt]

Should be euclid, screenshot is from before hello games added galaxy to screenshots

#nms-legacy-ships message

Link is to original post

[autumn iris]

Well the galaxy isn't important without the glyphs

[hot kite]

oh wait ur right, i thought the glyphs there

[autumn iris]

Know that taking photos using left-click will never include the glyphs and will always bypass the anti-aliasing

always try to take photomode pictures using external screenshotting methods like Steam's F12, Alt+Prt Sc, etc

[zenith bolt]

On ps5 its screenshot button

Instead of one in ui

[hot kite]

White Royal Exotic with silver trim, V-wings and single thruster. Euclid.

[simple violet]

I will have to go to that system when I get the chance to do so.

[green meteor]

Not really, actually maybe. Since there are so many parts of a sentinel ship though they would have to be grouped together as wings, fuselage, and engine

It would still be hard to get the exact combination of wings you want

[autumn iris]

#nms-legacy-ships message

[dreamy crypt]

#memes🤡

[grand tinsel]

@grizzled stirrup This channel isn't for memes.

[terse lily]

Damn

[terse lily]

No glyphs? Also, how about the supercharger slots?

[terse lily]

This is just lighting. All the squids have a purply blue fade to thier tentacles, it's just not always easy to see it

That squid is white or grey

As for squid colours, I wouldn't say there's a ton. You got red, orange, yellow, blue, green, white, and grey.

[terse lily]

What are the supercharger slots looking like?

[hot kite]

I didn't buy the ship 😄

[terse lily]

Ah, right

No point going for it then tbh. It can be annoying waiting for an exotic just to find it has poor slots

[terse lily]

Couldn't they do the same thing they already do with the old ships? I really can't see how it would be difficult for hello games to introduce a sentinel deconstruction yard or terminal for building sentinels from the pieces we find.

[hot kite]

They could do that, #nms-the-future and we can reacts

[terse lily]

Oh yeah true, I'll put it in there

I was talking about this idea with friends last night

[hot kite]

I was waiting for Shuttle customs tbh. I like the idea of making my own rocketship. But then corvette shows up and blows it outta the window XD

There's also the idea where Hauler need buff or fixed interior you can use as mobile base.

[terse lily]

I'm not a fan of corvettes tbh. I like building them, but not using them. I much prefer the legacy ships etc.

Corvettes are just far too unstable and annoying for me.

Teleporting to a base often leads fo me having ship parts replacing my body parts lol

[hot kite]

yeah the whole idea of corvettes class starship were to use it as Mobile base you can configure however you want. Not to replace the legacy starships doing what they do best.

But corvette definitely put Hauler back all the way to shuttle spot

[terse lily]

Heard. However, it needs improving

A lot

I want to live in my sentinel ship

I don't need a corvette

[hot kite]

it's definitely not balanced as of now. I myself hitchhiking others corvette is like 50/50 Star Citizen moment.

[terse lily]

I wouldn't know about that tbh. I've been a console gamer for years

I have no interest in messing around with a pc

[hot kite]

Sometimes I get yeeted off the ship mid Pulse drive. Audio missing during flights... falling off the map when I get off the furniture chair upon landing... etcs

[terse lily]

Lol sounds about right

[hot kite]

But ONLY as hitchhiker

i dont see any problem other than textures of the interior not loading for me.

.....well

[terse lily]

It's annoying how you can't just add a poster or a lot of decor to the inside walls of a corvette without putting something up behind it first

[hot kite]

there's also the annoying part your friend corvettes parked in the same spot as another player and you lost the access to enter his corvette.

But hey this is no longer #nms-legacy-ships discussion so ima stop

[terse lily]

Yeah, or you're own lol

This is one of my favourite sentinels right now

[zenith bolt]

No its purple

All the possible squid colours

Nearer a ton than 5

You will also note the lighting is a white light instead of a yellow tinge, cause i use a mod to make it like this to get more true colours

[hot kite]

I'm losing my shit looking at the side extra boosters. I didn't even know you can have them on Medium body.

[inland falcon]

Dude, that's sick! 👀 Sweet find!

[hot kite]

But yeah it definitely looks so very similar to ground patrol sentinels. The triangle OLED at the front looks like it's having fun blasting your targets

And the color is 1:1

[zenith bolt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPGnyqXz6IQ another purple/lilac squid

[terse lily]

Haha ty dude. Yeah it's a unique one for sure.

[terse lily]

Lol fr. 💯

[terse lily]

Ah yeah, I forgot about lilac. This isn't your discovery though right?

[zenith bolt]

Nope not mine

[terse lily]

Ah, aren't you the guy who wants credit to be given though? Anyway, doesn't matter. There's quite a few bases here, i guess from a time when this squid was rare and hard to get they arent hard to get anymore, and this one has bad slots so I won't be keeping this one. The spacestation doesn't look like the one in the video either, maybe that's due to an update.

[zenith bolt]

I never said it was mine, I thought it was obviously not mine, as the video isnt mine. I posted it to prove that there are purple and other colours of squid

there are 60+ shades of colours of squid, its probably gonna be different

[terse lily]

Yeah, I mean variations on colours don't count imo. If I have a green one, I don't see the point in having a slightly lighter green one. That's just me though, I go by the main colours.

This squid looks the same as in the video though, so that's one thing that didn't change

I wish I could see the inside of that old spacestation though

[zenith bolt]

Red Royal Exotic with gold trim, small winglets and clamshell engine. Euclid

Green and White Sentinel Interceptor, Euclid

[green meteor]

Anyone else made a custom ship at the starship fabricator?

[zenith bolt]

only 2 or 3, not many, i prefer non fabricated ships

[inland falcon]

Only a few

[green meteor]

Woah that is sick

[zenith bolt]

one of mine

[inland falcon]

Thank you. ^^ Hotrod, hardframe and tri-boosters is my favorite combo so far! Found a better pic of the fuselage

[inland falcon]

Nice! 😎 Looks like the Mandalorian's N-1

I love when the sails don't open all the way lol the Star Wars vibes are real

[zenith bolt]

similar to this with no top fin, non fabricated ship

[inland falcon]

That's a good find. I'm just not partial to the fin lol cool decals tho. I wanna make a black one with C-Type wings, but don't have the stealth paint 😫

[zenith bolt]

the only other one I made, was a white version of the Iron Vulture, but have no pics

quite like that for a fighter

[merry fox]

Only one, a solar, and that sits in archive now.

[inland falcon]

The fin flows perfectly on that wing set 👌🏻 Nicest needle I've seen so far

[merry fox]

Purpose built for finding the living frigates in space "Whale Finder" but now I have a full frigate fleet.

[green meteor]

Why?

[lean echo]

Why did you use a solar for that? Living ships have a higher chance for the encounter

[merry fox]

Didn't have a living ship at the time, was before the titan expedition when I got The Wraith.
Mostly for the fuel efficiency during the long pulse stages since it could be going for quite a while.

[merry fox]

I use a sentinel interceptor most of the time, or a corvette as a portable factory. Eventually might pull it out of storage, but plan on keeping it if something ever requires a lot of long distance pulsing.

[zenith bolt]

Red Guppy Exotics, with Gold trim, small winglets and single engine. Euclid Galaxy

[tight zealot]

These ships are so cute

I got an orange one

[simple violet]

Somthing I built. It's called the Prototype Arwing.

[green meteor]

Is Stobby like a ship finder?

[terse lily]

Diamond supercharger slot

T shape supercharger slot

[zenith bolt]

Ive found one or 2

[green meteor]

No.

[zenith bolt]

No?

[green meteor]

Actually yeah mb

A lot of people sent, you only sent two

[zenith bolt]

Sent?

[terse lily]

This one is square supercharger, I just forgot to show that in the video

If you go to these spacestations and apply these parts, you will get these supercharger slot ships

T, diamond, and square

[terse lily]

I am. I find ships, multi tools, beasts and planets. I think a lot of us do

I only post my own discoveries though, and I don't mind who wants to go get them or show them

I post them for other peoole so it's all good

[zenith bolt]

White Royal with Gold trim, with small winglets and single engine, Purple Star System

[merry fox]

I post sentinel ones i run across, typically just go to some random part of a galaxy and poke around for a while until I decide to move on.
Usually ignore ones right near where I have bases though although as of late the new ones are put in uncharted systems.

Starting to look back at some previously explored systems where im using my freighter to probe the planets i hadn't already landed on.

[zenith bolt]

White Sentinel Interceptor, Euclid, Purple Star System

I just post ships i think are interesting. Its also a sort of catalogue I can look through and maybe go back and get a month, 6 months or a year later. If other people like them, and go get them, then its a bonus

[merry fox]

Looks like the parts aren't even attached to it in flight.

[autumn iris]

They are, just the engine bug is visually occluding the connection points

Saving and reloading fixes the engine bug

[zenith bolt]

Red, Blue and Black U-Wing Sentinel Interceptor, Euclid

Blue Royal Exotic with Gold, small winglets and single engine, Euclid

[zenith bolt]

Yellow exotic squid, euclid

[tight zealot]

You find theses so quickly, holy

[green meteor]

Sent photos

Okay now that is another 3 to the count

[zenith bolt]

been doing it a long time

[zenith bolt]

Ive over 650 exotics posted alone here

plus fighters, sentinels etc

[green meteor]

Okay, so you ARE a ship finder

[zenith bolt]

yep

[muted carbon]

Wait should i have provided those?

[muted carbon]

Thats sick, you know if there's a black and green transforming winged one?

[compact umbra]

Finally done trainspotting shipspotting.
This is the luckiest NPC ship I ever found in the game — look at the starting inventory!

[terse lily]

I feel like its better if you do. I know quite a few people post without glyphs or without showing what the slots look like, but it really helps other people to know if they really want a ship or not if you include slots, and if you show a ship that someone likes, including the glyphs allows people to go pick it up.

I personally feel like if someone posts a sentinel with no slot info, you may aswell go there and hunt the slots yourself, or just find your own sentinel

[compact umbra]

Just realized that I didn't do what the comment above me said 🙃

Coords and slots. Euclid, yellow star, "Ikugos LL4".
Notably, this one always spawns with huge starting inventory (for its class)! No idea if this is a feature of the ship design, or the seed, or the system.

[terse lily]

Very helpful indeed 🫡

[merry fox]

With some of those ships the physical hull is so small you wonder where stuff fits.
The game coding doesn't care though, still has all the slots a bigger hulled one of the same type does.

[compact umbra]

With some of those ships the physical hull is so small you wonder where stuff fits.
In a pocket dimension, clearly 🙃

[terse lily]

Well, I'm gonna post two ships I didn't discover myself, but they both have nice slots. This one has the supercharger slots in a square.

This one has the slots in a T shape

I picked up both of these, until I find my own with the same slots

[muted carbon]

True sorry about that

[terse lily]

Hey, don't be lol. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I just wanted to highlight how it's much more helpful to include as much info with your find as possible, unless you don't care if other people want to go grab it for themselves.

Which is okay too.

Personally, I like to put the work in and find the good slot stuff for people who don't have an unlimited budget like I do.

So I post only good slot stuff for those people

[muted carbon]

Thank you for your service lol

[merry fox]

I just go look for sentinel ships for the fun of it and post an example here, obviously some planets might have a lot better ones than ive found but the looks will be the same.

[terse lily]

Hahah anytime fellow traveller 🫡

[muted carbon]

I think i remember what system it was, ill find it when i go back to that galaxy

[merry fox]

Never know when someone wants a sentinel ship that looks like the old Scooby-Doo van!

[terse lily]

But imagine I see your ship that you posted, and I'm one of those players who's playing the legit full game, and I can't afford to waste time and resources Levelling up ships only to find it has bad slots. If I want your ship, I must spend a lot of resources in order to have a good one.

That's where I come in, with my unlimited budget. I find ships, upgrade them, and post the good slot ones, just for those people.

[autumn iris]

Tbh any slot layout is good

once you start appreciating that a "good layout" isn't necessary for something to be good, the game becomes a lot more freeing

[terse lily]

I disagree. Any slot formation is workable, but not all are good

[autumn iris]

the difference between my corvette with "good" slot layout and my other one where they're all everywhere is minimal

at least to where the maneuverability difference isn't something I can actually notice

[terse lily]

Well, with corvettes it's a little different, and I agree with you. Still, try telling that to a min max fiend lol

There are so many people trying to squeeze as much stats feom their ships, it's crazy

[autumn iris]

yeah, they're crazy imo

working for nothing

[terse lily]

Totally

I like good slots, but I'm not as bad as those people lol

[merry fox]

If someone wants to look for a good slot one from ones ive found that's up to them, I just peek at what's on the planet and fly on.
A few have had promising SC slots (2 or 3 adjacent but not S class) so those i actually look at the coords for it.

[terse lily]

Each to their own man.

[autumn iris]

I like finding things that have good layouts for like ooo important/notable find reasons, but finding ones that look awesome makes me happier

[merry fox]

My main ship has spread out SC slots and im fine with it.

[terse lily]

I rarely ever go look for something that someone has posted unless I absolutely need that sentinel, or that slot formation. Otherwise I'd rather just hunt them myself.

[autumn iris]

and the knowledge of how rare a sc layout that ppl would consider "good" is just makes that not worth it

[terse lily]

Personally, if I find two multi tools and one looks awsome with bad slots, and one looks awful with good slots, I'll keep rhe good slots one because it would be naturally more functional.

The atlantid multi tools for mining is a good example.

They're the best for mining, but with good slots they genuinely do go up a level

[merry fox]

I think the Atlantid tool I found has 3 slots adjacent with 1 off elsewhere and works great for general purpose, have no idea where I even found it though.

[terse lily]

The one I posted up there is apparently the best mining slot formation you can have

So I learned from a nms content creator

When I use it I never have to take my finger off the trigger. The charge just doesn't go up

It's awsome

[merry fox]

The one im using mines much faster and gains more resources than my old one, but doesn't do as much damage in a fight.
Have a sentinel one that does a lot more damage but haven't really messed with the mining stuff on it. Doubt it will do very well.

[terse lily]

Yeah that's right. Atlantids are best for mining, sentinels are best for damage. Thays why its best to have more than one multi tool imo

[merry fox]

Think i had a couple other sentinel ships before my current one but hated the looks of them.
Kind of curious to see if i can find one with better slot placement than mine on the planet mine came from but could take some time.
Bring a heavy jacket its an extremely cold planet.

[terse lily]

Lol you got this bro

I believe in you

It can take an awful long time to find a good slot ship, yet sometimes you can do it on your first couple of finds

I like doing it though so I don't mind

[merry fox]

Still have my original one i swap in for core jumping, dont even need to fix anything on it just switch it back out.

[terse lily]

Same!

Exactly the same thing I do

I love the thrusters on this one

[lean echo]

What the... dang ship almost looks like the utopia speeder

[merry fox]

I do keep a ship just for core jumping too but keep the repair parts in stock. Have so much stuff hoarded up that what carbon or other bits gets used i have too much already.

[terse lily]

Haha its a beast right? I love this one

[terse lily]

I just take a crappy shuttle from a spacestation to hop in

[merry fox]

A scuttle shuttle lol.

[terse lily]

Haha yeah exactly

This one is pretty cool imo

I love this thruster layout too

[merry fox]

Found one like that with the outer thrusters held on by a pipe, definitely makes you look at it twice since that would never work in our world.

[terse lily]

Yeah lol its kinda cool looking thought at the same time

I found a few bangin dragonfly sentinels

Another similar one

[pale python]

Do you have coordinates for that one?

[terse lily]

I love this creamy gold colour

[merry fox]

Found a few with folding wings, look different when landed.

[pale python]

It's awsome.

[terse lily]

Hell yes my friend! Just click the picture and you'll see them on the bottom left of the pic

Discord cuts it off unless you click on it

[terse lily]

Yeah, tbh I'm not a fan of how a lot of sentinels look when they're landed, but I don't concern myself with it so much.

This is kind of a murky teal with red tips. Not too bad

Two light blues, nice little shaped sentinel this one I reckon.

Pretty cool for a green ship

Am I posting too many? I'll stop for awhile, my bad lol

[tight zealot]

For you ship finders, how many do you usually see if you go on a full day looking for them?

[terse lily]

If I'm not trying to find good slot versions, I could easily find 50+ in a day

[pale python]

Got it, I just didn't see it. Thanks, though.

[terse lily]

You're welcome anytime 🫡

[pale python]

I assume the interceptor location is in the bottom right picture.

[terse lily]

Yep 👍

[pale python]

Got it, thanks.

[tight zealot]

Holy fuck, 50+. I wish I could do that with diplos

[terse lily]

Lol. For the first two months I played, I thought I'd never find a diplo. Then, I realised I'd found them a lot, but didn't realise how rare they were or what I'd even found lol

Now I know. I find them quite a lot.

[tight zealot]

They say it's 0.25% chance or something like that. Honestly, feels like more

[terse lily]

It's gotta be more surely

[tight zealot]

My ratio is like 3 per day

5 if it's a good day

[terse lily]

Well, there ya go lol

Okay I'll post one more ship, then I'm leaving discord alone for a bit so I can go find some more lol

[tight zealot]

Sure!

Honestly, I don't know if I could ever change my ship. It was my second sentinel one, and it works so well I'm afraid of changing it. I'm kinda attached to it

[merry fox]

When I look for ships I tend to look around at what else is on the planet at least for critters, see a few interesting ones.

[tight zealot]

These look sick, don't get me wrong, and mine, let me tell you, does not look as good as these, but it's been with me in most of the journey

[terse lily]

Then don't change it. You don't have to tbh

[tight zealot]

And the super charged slots are very well placed, too

[terse lily]

I get attached to some things like that, I understand

Last ship post for now. Bit of green white and black anyone?

[tight zealot]

I used to use portals when I began to find better stuff, but I feel it's somewhat not cool? From my point of view, it's not cheating, but something close to it. Might just be me, though

[terse lily]

If its in the game and being used as intended, it's definitely not cheating. Life's too short to restrict yourself in a videogame. Enjoy yourself mate, as much as you can.

[merry fox]

I rarely use portals except for heading to the center of a galaxy or to get back to a spot i was long ago that I recorded the address of.

[terse lily]

Same, I also use them to go check out peoples finds

Anyway, I'm off to play some nms. Catch yous later ✌️

[merry fox]

I forgot how the one ring rotates as you enter in the address.

[simple violet]

B class. Trash or keep?

[terse lily]

I'm a slots guy, so for me if its got bad slots it's gotta look the bees knees, and I don't like those flat extentions on those top bits. Just my personal taste. For you, if you like the look of the ship and you don't care about slots, keep it! The class doesn't matter at all really.

[torn coyote]

Could you dm me the portal cords

[terse lily]

No need mate, if you click one of the pictures you'll see the portal glyphs on the bottom left of the picture. 👍

And the galaxy name.

[torn coyote]

MB I'm blind

[terse lily]

Lol nah you're not, it's discord. It cuts the edges of pics so you gotta click it to see the whole thing. You're good 👍

[torn coyote]

😄

[muted carbon]

@terse lily if im gonna become a ship finder how would i stert?

[terse lily]

Well, personally I would turn off the cost of playing in the options. It just makes your life easier if you're going to really put the tine in to find great ships

Thats one thing.

[muted carbon]

I locked my options lmao

[terse lily]

Well, it's not a disaster. It just means it will take more time and cost you resources

[muted carbon]

I like keeping things vanilla

[terse lily]

So it's not ideal, but not the end of the world

[muted carbon]

Thats fine with me lol

[terse lily]

You could always make a new save and dedicate that to ship hunting

I would do that actually

[muted carbon]

Actually i just found a ship

[terse lily]

Boom! Nice

I would think about why you want to hunt ships then. If its just for you, you don't need a new save

[muted carbon]

Do i upload the inventory

[terse lily]

I'm not aware of a time in the game where I've had to upload my inventory tbh

Unless I was smashed and I just didn't see it lol

[muted carbon]

I meant like take a photo of it

[terse lily]

Oh, no I don't think so. Which inventory?

You mean to show the slot formation?

[muted carbon]

Yea

[terse lily]

I would. Thays because I search ships for others not just myself. Its always better to show people the slot formation once it's upgraded so they can decide if they want it or not, and not just based on looks but functionality too.

[muted carbon]

Alr

Ty

[terse lily]

I always include a front pic of the ship, one from behind to show thrusters, one from the top, a pic of the glyphs, and a pic of the coordinates on the planet to help people find the exact location of your ship.

And you're welcome 🫡

[muted carbon]

My storage on my phone is sweating rn lmao

Im on ps4 i dont think i get coordinates

[terse lily]

Haha!! I used to have the same problem, but now I just put them into a thread in another discord and delete them from my phone

[terse lily]

Oh you do, you just need to take a picture in photomode to show the glyphs

[muted carbon]

Oh okay ty also hold on im a photographer why am i taking bum pictures

[terse lily]

For coordinates, use your scanner to look at the ground where the ship is, and take a pic of that with your phone or the ps4 built in image thingy

The coordinates are in the top right corner

Like this

I just found this white and black dragonfly lol. It looks pink coz of the lighting, my bad.

[muted carbon]

Better image

[terse lily]

Nice

[merry fox]

Black body, green wings. Another one I must have skipped over in the past.

Black head, yellow on the body, like a light green spine and wings. Quite an interesting look I'd say...

[green meteor]

Guys what is in your opinion the most useless ship

[green meteor]

The green power ranger

[green meteor]

It would have looked better in pink imo

[fathom trout]

Shuttles, explorers and haulers IMHO

[green meteor]

I think at least haulers have some use

[fathom trout]

There really isn't, sentinel interceptor has the same max cargo space as haulers and does basically everything betyer

At least that's my opinion

[delicate arrow]

Hi all, does anyone have a pair of Hardframe Wings without the fin to spare?
One of these: https://nmshandbook.com/item/?id=FIGHT_WINGB&type=fabrication

[terse lily]

And I got zero reactions to all of my ships posted lol

[terse lily]

Pink ships

[terse lily]

Ah well. It is what it is. Here's some more...

Bit of orange and white, not a fan of orange ships but someone is I'm sure.

[zenith bolt]

Shittles

[terse lily]

Black and blue

[zenith bolt]

See i like that, nice n simple

And not orange

[terse lily]

Yeah, lol I like these types. Totally agree haha

[zenith bolt]

In general i cant do with big ships

[terse lily]

Another orange lol. Sorry about the pic quality, I took these with my phone from the TV coz I found these on my old xbox which was broken

[terse lily]

Aw same. It's one of the reasons I don't do corvettes too often

[zenith bolt]

Yer my corvette is literally 1 hub

[terse lily]

I've got two or three mid size, and one that is as long as possible but that one is a train.

It's the only corvette I truly love

This one is square supercharger, from my old xbox again, sorry about the pic quality.

Old pics again, not the best slots here but I really like this ship

[zenith bolt]

Yer in general i dont bother looking at slots, just seems a waste of time to me spending maybe an hour, when noone would get it cause it looks naff. Same with looking for S class, unless 1st ship i find is s class then i dont look for one.

I leave that up to people who might be interested in the ship to find an S class or decent sc slot layout.

[terse lily]

Yeah I get you. My issue with it is, if you post a nice ship that I like, I then must go get a nice slots one if that's that you're into, which honestly most people would admit they want the slots. Also, it's your discovery, and rhe only way I'll take someone else's discovery instead of my own is if the slots are good AND the ship looks awsome. It will say your name on the planet, and system. I prefer to hunt ships in my own systems. Thats just me I'm speaking for though.

I'm here for those who don't have time to hunt, and don't have resources to keep finding and upgrading ships. It's a service really, that's how I look at it.

I agree about S class ships though. Most of them have awful slots so I just dont bother with them.

[zenith bolt]

Im just old skool, played before sc slots were a thing, so they dont bother me with ships. Multitools yes i bother, i tend to specialise so i like decent sc slots.

[terse lily]

Understood. At least you're not saying they don't matter, because they do. As you know with multi tools. I do love a good multi tool tbh

Elvis style lol

@zenith bolt did you see the mining special atlantid multi tool I posted?

Tis a banger

[zenith bolt]

no i not seen, i use a 2x2 with i think 49 mining bonus

[terse lily]

Ah ok. This is my atlantid for mining

#nms-multitools message

[green meteor]

Looks like the flag of Egypt without the eagle

[terse lily]

Ah yeah, it kinda does haha nice one

[ashen ravine]

funky little hauler style

[terse lily]

What are the supercharger slots on these?@ashen ravine

[merry fox]

Must be the odd color combo of that ship, I can tell I hadn't stopped and looked for it when I found the system a few months ago or I'd have remembered finding that odd thing.

[merry fox]

Some of the ladies love pink ships, dont see them very often.
I guess some sentinels (or parts of) used to appear purple but was either a bug or got changed to some green color.

[terse lily]

Yeah the purple got changed to black, and as for your ship I don't think people react to it because of its colour or anything. Clearly they did but I mean thats not why they reacted to yours and not mine lol. I didn't explain that very good but ah well. I feel like its probably coz I'm new here, or it's because people who like to put reactions just didn't see mine

Either way it doesn't bother me much

[terse lily]

Upgraded?

[ashen ravine]

no, as I found them

[terse lily]

Oh yeah I know, I mean I need the upgraded slot formations so I can see if it's worth grabbing the ships or not

[ashen ravine]

is there a way to sus that out without spending nanites? i'm still pretty new to the game 🙄

[terse lily]

Kinda. This is why I do what I do, because I have unlimited resources.

I can upgrade everything for free, so I find ships and tools, upgrade them, then post the results

You can always switch to custom settings to upgrade for free and then switch back once you've upgraded.

Unless you locked it

[ashen ravine]

doesn't that disable achievements or something? I still have 4 left to unlock

[autumn iris]

The only achievement that's affected by achievements being changed is the survival difficulty one when playing on survival difficulty

All others allow you to play whatever, except the permadeath one too but you can't turn off permadeath or change settings in a way that disqualifies it's achievement after starting the game

[ashen ravine]

I see

I guess I'm one of those who just flies around systems looking for the next banger ship and I just share anything interesting I find along the way

I don't really care about slots too much (yet) and I salvage 95% of ships I find anyway 😄

[terse lily]

Not much point in posting your finds then if im being honest with you. No offence, but anyone looking for ships is probably not just looking for one thay looks nice. Once you know you can have good slots, I really don't see why you'd pick one with bad slots.

Anyone can find sentinels and spew constant posts with ships, but that's not really helping anyone, because anyone can do it.

[zenith bolt]

me too

[terse lily]

People like me put the work in and the time so people can get good ships

Just no point posting without slots

[autumn iris]

This really isn't the spirit of this channel, not trying to be mean

[zenith bolt]

post what you want, people always like good looking ships, I post fighters etc also, cause it gives people ideas what they can build also locations for parts

[terse lily]

No I agree, and I'm not trying to be mean

I'm just stating a truth that doesn't sound too nice

But it's a reality

[autumn iris]

I guess if you live in youtube clickbaitland long enough

[zenith bolt]

its the truth as you see it, i know a whole discord which shows locations of nice looking ships with no slots

[terse lily]

Well I don't tbh. I don't see why they'd add supercharger slots if they were pointless. Better slots means better stats.

[zenith bolt]

White/pale blue Sentinel Interceptor, Purple star system

[autumn iris]

It's not as important as people think, I've been living with "bad slot" ships for the last year and if anything it's felt better

[terse lily]

Placebo

I'm not saying its important either really. I'm saying it's more helpful

For example that guy up there who can't afford to keep upgrading

If I upgrade and post, he saves nanites

Simple as that

[autumn iris]

Then link everyone to https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/1c9evgm/black_blue_sentinel_ship_with_square/ and stop looking by your metrics

[terse lily]

Reddit lol. Nty. I'd rather get a prostate exam from Freddie krueger than use reddit.

[autumn iris]

We've already found the "Best" ones, and IMO they don't feel much better than the cool looking ones

[split breach]

oh that pale white, really nice

[terse lily]

Well look, I'm not trying to insult or anything like you did, I'm just saying, as an adult, slots do matter, and it's more helpful to post upgraded ships than not.

[terse lily]

I find good looking ones with good slots. Best of both.

[ashen ravine]

I'm sure the min-maxers appreciate what you do, personally I regularly browse NMSCE or this channel just going by looks, and plenty others too from what I've seen

[terse lily]

I'm not a min max fiend, I just like good slots. I don't need the best slots.

Also, I would wager that this is mostly due to resources and time. Like I said I don't have to worry about that.
It's way easier to just find a ship and post it without spending.

[zenith bolt]

Yellow and Turquoise sentinel interceptor, purple star system

[ashen ravine]

I mean sure, anyone can find a ship and post it, but not everyone can be bothered farming echo locators or sentinel waves for that specific aim

I farm up a decent amount, then go exploring and document the cooler finds

[terse lily]

Not everyone can be bothered, exactly

I can though, and thats all it is.

I'm not trying to insult how anyone does it, it just annoys me when people dismiss slots through laziness

[zenith bolt]

Just post what ships you want, there are no rulesz on what to and not to post, as long as its not a corvette ship

Can put as much or little information as you want

[terse lily]

People of course can post ships with as little info as they want. My point is, it's just not helpful. Showcasing nice looking ships can make people want them lol

[green meteor]

My first exotic!

Found this while doing the Artemis path

[zenith bolt]

took me about 8 months to find my 1st squid without getting someone else's find

[merry fox]

Light blue, SC slots are pretty spread out on this A class ship. (One is the slot above my cursor) Only two planets in the system and both have star bulb but aren't all that remarkable.

[green meteor]

Yeah I am like 18 hours into my save, but the first time I played nms was in 2021

Don't remember finding a squid in that time

Didn't really search for them

Just found one while at the space station this time

[merry fox]

Not sure if I've seen a squid one flying or not... If I did it was when I was pretty new to the game and it was just flying overhead. Then again I haven't really been looking for exotics and the first one I seen just sort of popped up in the space station so I got it.

You can guess what it gets used for...

[zenith bolt]

Blue exotic squid, euclid

[merry fox]

Green with some red, Christmas colors... (And yes my galaxy map bugged out.)

[zenith bolt]

Yellow Exotic Squid, Euclid

[low ingot]

Yeah, seems like it to me too. Nothing in that picture fits this channel's topic @prisma hull

Galaxy: Euclid

Planet: Ryamr Minor
X, Y: -25.68, -56.30

[pale python]

Are there black squids?

[autumn iris]

There are not.

The closest is a lightish grey I believe

[ashen ravine]

S Class Interceptor, Euclid

(yellow system)
X, Y: +24.68, +62.70 (Comms Station placed)

[merry fox]

Red, even though the color looks off checked later in the station. Kind of like a cherry red...

[zenith bolt]

As Grouch said, they look light grey, i was very disappointed when i found one

[merry fox]

Bulky orange and black ship.

[fathom trout]

Do we know for certain that natural S rank interceptors have higher stats than another from the exact same star system but instead was upgraded from say C to S?

Or is that anecdotal experience talking?

[zenith bolt]

Not sure, only way to know is to test it

I think ive only looked into the pirate/outlaw system nerf when it comes to sentinel.

Unless you can find numerous posts/locations of natural s class ships might take a while

Most of my research is in multitool stats, and exotics, i know years ago it was thought regular ships ie hauler, fighter and explorer may of took a hit on stats on upgrade, but im not sure how solars and sentinels fit into this.

I dont even know if solars take a hit on stats in outlaw, as that is the primary place to get them.

[fathom trout]

I was planning to use sentinels and trading post ships as examples to test, I wasn't sure if the ship seed would all be the same even if they are in the same system

[fathom trout]

Wait, that's a real thing? I genuinely thought that was anecdotal talking lol

[zenith bolt]

No the outlaw nerf is real. Doesnt apply to exotics, not sure on sentinels, but with the limited pool i took of 6 ships maybe not.

[zenith bolt]

Only way to test sentinels, is to use same seed from same system at various classes and compare a natural s to an upgraded s of same seed

Not sure anyone has checked ships stats/rules for years. Maybe on creative hub they have. Sometimes over time, things might change and noone notice, so its good to investigate every now and again.

[fathom trout]

Cool, thanks

So maybe I should go level 3 conflict farming to upgrade my venator then

(j/k, I don't care too much about it)

[merry fox]

Im sure my freighter has a bit shorter warp range due to it being from an outlaw system but almost never warp far with it...
Only uses 2% fuel on standard fuel use settings anyways.

[dapper breach]

Is this a good deal?

[autumn iris]

I'd say so, the supercharged slots are placed nicely and the ship looks cool

[dapper breach]

Based :3

Now I need so much money tbh

If you move far enough away from a space station where you've been upgrading your rank do they just not know you?

Or have I done something bad

[zenith bolt]

One on left is Natural S class sentinel ship, Right one is upgraded from C class to S class ship. Ive only done one (seed) ship, but thats my results

[nimble stump]

I've been doing some reading into this. From my reading natural s class has the same stat range however when it is generated it tends to be in the upper regions of that range due to their stat weighting. Upgraded ships have more variance in that they more commonly end up in the mid or low regions of the stat range because they have no specific weighting for their generation. Upgraded ships can still have higher stats and natural ships can have lower stats so its still random within the set parameters.

[terse lily]

I wish. I don't get why there are no black exotics, including multi tools

It's baffling to me

The older ships too, I've never seen a black one

[zenith bolt]

black wasnt even a colour pre sentinel ships

[terse lily]

So I hear. I don't get why though

[zenith bolt]

even then at start they couldnt get it right and looked purple tint

[terse lily]

Haha yeah, they changed those to black if I remember correctly

All the purple went to black?

Something like that

With sentinel ships specifically i think

Ty @autumn iris 😊

[zenith bolt]

one of my early black ones

[terse lily]

I like

[rich anchor]

is there a list/image gallery of expedition exlusive ships like the starborn runner and the wraith?

[terse lily]

I'd imagine so. Online

Or in here maybe somewhere in a pin

[rich anchor]

my googling has come up fruitless

[terse lily]

My googling found this. Not sure how correct or up to date it is though

[supple quartz]

Googling the ships by name would result in the image.

A list of them if required.

Expedition starships

• Golden vector
• Utopia Speeder
• Starborn Runner
• Boundary Herald
• The Wraith
• Iron Vulture

Other (disregarding preorder)

• Nintendo Switch Resa (Switch pre order)
• Starborn Phoenix (Steam exclusive)

This is correct and up to date.

[terse lily]

Awsome

Ty

[rich anchor]

thanks all, wasnt able to find anything lkike that

[zenith bolt]

yer its just nice to make sure its true, over time, stuff can change, so sometimes its nice to see what we think is true, is still true today. Last time i know someone looked into it all, was years ago. I also know that some multitools act differently than the majority of multitools. We were just wondering if there was a similar thing with certain ships

[terse lily]

That reminds me. I have all the ships I can get from being gifted them except the iron vulture

Wouldn't mind getting that at some point

[supple quartz]

Happy to give you the parts, ship itself cannot be traded.

[terse lily]

Oooooh tysm!

Bless ya

[supple quartz]

Afaik this is still concurrent today at least remaining unchanged for original ship types.

Tho must admit not looked into it much after staves got their change.

[supple quartz]

All good, chuck me a dam and when I hop on I can give ya them.

[terse lily]

Tysm man, I will

[zenith bolt]

yer we were wondering if sentinel ships in particular got a stat reduction when upgraded as opposed to natural s class. Do you know if solars get a reduction on stats due to being found in outlaw space?

[terse lily]

I heard outlaw systems have as high if not higher chance of class S ships

I think it's similar

Not sure about reductions though

[zenith bolt]

thats not what im asking, ships in general get a stat reduction if found in outlaw space, but cause solars are primarily found there, i didnt know if it was true in regard to solars.

[terse lily]

Oh they do? Didn't know that

[tight zealot]

I didn't know that, either. Damn

[terse lily]

Literally never heard anyone say that

[tight zealot]

So it's not good to find an exotic ship in one of those?

Or well, optimal, let's say

[zenith bolt]

the exception from what i can gather is exotics

as they are based on whether its a silver or gold variant

[tight zealot]

What does that mean exactly?

Oh, you mean like, the ornaments at the front?

[zenith bolt]

silver variant

[tight zealot]

Yeah, yeah, got ya

[terse lily]

Huh, apparently its a trade off for the higher drop rate in an outlaw system.

Never knew that

[zenith bolt]

silver variant generally have lower stats than gold

[tight zealot]

Dude, silver feels like it looks better at times

[terse lily]

What about pirate frieghters though? Are they also exempt from the stat reduction?

I'd certainly hope so

[supple quartz]

Hmmm I’m not sure, never thought to have a look, I would assume yes but worth a try

[zenith bolt]

no clue, people generally rather just have an s class freighter for the extra inventory slots than stats

[terse lily]

Aaah I see. I used to have an S class pirate frieghter and I was told the best chance to get one was pirate systems with the skull on it. I switched to another one since though coz it looks like something from star wars lol and its a square supercharger slot one.

[zenith bolt]

i find the lighting bad in pirate freighters, no good for pics

[supple quartz]

I get cranky when my freighter hangers change from save to save 😡

[terse lily]

That can happen?

Sheesh

[zenith bolt]

well yes, if you have one save with a pirate freighter and another save with a normal freighter

[terse lily]

Ah yeah, that sounds obvious tbf, but I think he could mean the same type of freighter. I'm just assuming.

[autumn iris]

They're most likely referring to the bug where switching from one save to another doesn't update the freighter hangar/bridge design if they're different

[supple quartz]

Correct, it will update when the previous save loads the correct hanger

Game reset fixes it for me

[autumn iris]

So if you open the game and load save 1 that has a pirate one, then back out and load save 2 with a normal one then it'll have the pirate one still

[terse lily]

Aaaah, a bug. Gotcha

[autumn iris]

The current "player hangar/bridge" only updates on loading a save from game boot, or from claiming a new freighter

[terse lily]

This game got more bugs than the Australian outback. Gotta love it though.

[supple quartz]

And yet, Bethesda still wins

[terse lily]

Sorry but skyrim is still one of the best games I've ever played. Top 3 for me.

[supple quartz]

I can love a game and still find it a cluster fuck, but it has charm in that.

[terse lily]

Totally

[zenith bolt]

At least they aint bugs that lose 1000s of hours of progress, not like Dune

[terse lily]

Aw damn

That happened to me on fallout new Vegas. I never played it again after that

[leaden pagoda]

Erm.

What does this mean exactly? I deal damage still? or literally no damage?

[zenith bolt]

youve save edited too much?

[leaden pagoda]

Nah not really, just added a casual like 6 more sentinel cannons lol. But why is the damage going by the cannons? It's a gun I've not touched the json?

Normal/Non Sentinel Ships usually dont get their increased damage by the cannons and all that right or do they?

[zenith bolt]

not supposed to be able to fit it, as its a sentinel weapon

[leaden pagoda]

Yeah im on a sentinel ship

Im just confused why damage is being increased by cannons, Is that normal?

[zenith bolt]

you should only have one

[leaden pagoda]

On the other question through, Is that a visual? If you know by any chance? Like it shows im dealing negative damage but im still doing normal damage?

[merry fox]

Pretty sure the hyperdrive range is reduced a little like mine is but doesn't matter to me.
Could probably move some modules around for more range but mine only uses about 2% warp fuel per warp, on standard fuel use settings.

[terse lily]

I think I'm in love

[cosmic quartz]

understandable

[tight zealot]

That ship is so familiar

Is it from command & conquer?

[terse lily]

It's from an expedition, the iron vulture. Not sure what universe it's from if any, but I never knew I could love a hauler.

[pale python]

Could I see what that looks like?

[zenith bolt]

dont have it anymore, i was that disappointed i got rid of it

think that was it

yes that was it, before anyone goes to find it, its not in Euclid, and not my find

Galaxy 167

[nimble hawk]

whats the smallest squid ship look possible

<@&590975379678953522>

[sweet cypress]

I think I have the ship before atlas update on an old save somewhere 😂

It’s a relic at this point

[terse lily]

Lil x-wing thingimibob

[merry fox]

Sometimes they come to you...
I let him keep it.

Blue. Only 2 SC slots revealed on this one but got free tech though.

[autumn vapor]

What are legacy ships?... An old ship?.. like I have one from 2019. Maybe it's older.

[merry fox]

Non-corvette ships for the purpose of this channel.

Just how they worded it.

[pale python]

Freighters, frigates, and starships.

[vestal stump]

Dang, i never seen a design like this

[merry fox]

Ive seen some similar, but some parts were different.

[supple quartz]

The damage output is being multiplied each time you add another core weapon (photon cannon, sentinel cannon or spewing vent.) same would occur for most core tech you add, multiple mining beam modules would dramatically increase resources mined, damage and speed. I recommend not exceeding 3 - 6 core tech modules at once to avoid crashing, this depends on what core tech you are adding.

As for your damage value being at negative, when you installed multiple of that tech item you would have exceeded the 32-bit integer which is 2,147,483,647 reduce the amount of cannons you have (I find 3 a happy limit) and you’ll see an actual improvement.

[trim whale]

Bit of a new player here. I’m looking to upgrade to my first ship that isn’t that starter one. Are there any certain types I should go for? Heard good things about the interceptors and solars. Also a bit confused on what the exotics are if someone could help me out with that!

[worldly karma]

Solars are most easily found in outlaw systems but I think those need a conflict scanner to find

[autumn iris]

They do not, they can be found using an Economy Scanner too

They have both a unique Economy and Conflict level

[worldly karma]

And exotics are rare but if you want one of those I recommend going to a trade outpost and looking at the ships that fly over and some of them might land and if there is an exotic and it doesn't land try going to the space station

[trim whale]

I’m more so curious on the differences between the solar and the interceptor. I head the interceptor is overall better, but the solar might be more beginner-friendly for upgrading and fuel efficiency?

[worldly karma]

Thanks

[autumn iris]

Solar ships have similar stat bonuses to fighters, but with a special "Vesper Sails" tech that grants launch thruster auto-recharging as well as an insane amount of pulse engine fuel efficiency

[worldly karma]

By interceptor do you mean sentinel or fighter?

[autumn iris]

Sentinel Interceptors

[worldly karma]

Thx

[autumn iris]

Sentinel Interceptors handle extremely differently to all other types of ship, turning faster when boosting etc. They go the fastest speeds in-atmosphere out of any ship, can hover in place in the air and also have halved launch costs similar to explorers and can be charged using extra things like Radiant Shards and Pugneum

Also their core hyperdrive grants +600LY instead of the standard +100LY

[trim whale]

I see. So are they kind of the clear choice then for best overall ship?

[autumn iris]

To some people

Exotic ships are similarly excellent due to their very high yet balanced bonuses, including the highest maneuverability out of any ship type

The differences between most ship types are small and mostly on vibes since upgrades can substitute for most differences

But some things, like the many features of sentinel ships and corvettes, are fundamental to those types of starships

[trim whale]

I see. And what is the hype of the living ships, or are they more so cool just for their looks?

[worldly karma]

They are mainly just for their looks that I know of

But you need 3,600 quick silver for one void egg then you have to do a quest that takes a day or 2

[fathom trout]

4 days I think, if not 5

[autumn iris]

They also take different resources to charge, like oxygen and chromatic metal

[fathom trout]

But their upgrades are harder to get, requiring you to have organic frigates on frigate expeditions

So it's a mixed bag

[trim whale]

Alright I’ll look into getting an interceptor then with everything I’ve learned so far (and I don’t really like the look of the exotics)

Are there any key upgrades I should look for when trying to find a good interceptor?

[autumn iris]

I don't think any upgrades will help you find one, they're found crash-landed on special "dissonant" worlds, their crash sites can be located through many ways #nms-commands message

You can install all regular starship technology in sentinel interceptors too

[trim whale]

Yeah mb thats what I meant. There aren’t certain technologies or supercharger patterns I should look for?

[autumn iris]

None unique to them

[trim whale]

Good to know. Thanks for all the help!

[fathom trout]

Good luck with your ship hunting

[trim whale]

Thanks! One slight question I forgot to ask, apart from the rankings C, B, A, S), are there differences per each tier. Like are some S classes better than others or will every upgraded S class interceptor be the same?

[autumn iris]

A little, but not really by that much

you can see the main differences in this image #nms-legacy-ships message

[fathom trout]

Apparently natural S ranks will have higher stats than the exact same ship but upgraded from lower rank, but the difference is small enough that SC layout is far more important

[autumn iris]

these are the bonus %, so it multiplies the final numbers by that much extra %

upgrades are far more important than those though, due to them being what those numbers boost

[coral igloo]

@tidal cliff @vestal stump

[supple quartz]

Upgrading from A to S is likely to be better than natural S. When upgraded to S bonuses are seedlocked. When purchased as a natural S they are random.

So any seed that is average or better is likely to get better bonuses random rolls can be anything within that class range.

But as with anything to do with initial stats, these differences won’t make a large difference more noticeable changes come from the modules you use and the stats obtained on them.

[vestal stump]

My god.... Pretty

I dont have a freighter yet

How yall got so many cool ships dang

[dreamy crypt]

1000+ h saves dont come from nowhere.

[green meteor]

I got an S class dreadnought 15 hours into my save

[barren dew]

same

not on my perma death one

[terse lily]

And the slots. A great slot layout will often surpass a natural S class slots due to the fact that most natural S class ships have poor slots.

I'm only 4 months into the game though so this is based on what I know in 4 months. I do have nearly 800hrs already though lol I must be crazy

[slate kayak]

What were you even doing these 1k hours?

[dreamy crypt]

Yes

[slate kayak]

Everything?

[dreamy crypt]

Most of things.

[slate kayak]

Ok

What were you even doing the other 800 hours? 🙂

I forgot discord auto changes it to emoji

[dreamy crypt]

Its a sandbox. U find your own goals

[supple quartz]

Being Asta

[slate kayak]

Yeah, you're right

[signal wraith]

Who is Asta

[slate kayak]

Astaroth

[signal wraith]

Oh thank you

[slate kayak]

Oh...

[supple quartz]

A
Stable
Tesla
Apprentice

[slate kayak]

Thats the ultimate flex

[dreamy crypt]

Nah

I would say have base in every galaxy on permadeath is

[slate kayak]

Wonder what are these other 52 blueprints

[dreamy crypt]

Catalouge u can save edit

[slate kayak]

True

[dreamy crypt]

Some things are bugged in it and dont register or are unobtainable

[slate kayak]

But only the start is hardest part ig

[dreamy crypt]

Kinda

[slate kayak]

Ah yes, this game is like terrarium of bugs

[dreamy crypt]

Anyways . Back on topic .

[supple quartz]

Permadeath used to be more challenging, I miss it

[dreamy crypt]

Ship

[supple quartz]

Sorry completely forgot to reply, Is this in regards to SC layout? For any ship that isn’t Sentinel ships (which also factor in crash sites) SC layout is determined by the ship’s seed. So really case by case if that ship seed will have good SC slots.

[terse lily]

Mind if I hunt this for a good slot version?

[terse lily]

I gotcha. Upon my own tests I've found a C class upgraded to S class with T slot formation surpasses the S class version of that ship in stats. This is with sentinels though, and this is also based on the fact that the S class had poor slots. I'm sure there's an S class out there somewhere with awsome slots, but I'm yet to find it anywhere.

[autumn plume]

Plz share the coords if u do

[terse lily]

Of course! I always give info for the best ships so people can grab them. It depends if he allows me go hunt it though, I don't want to just go to his planet and do my thing without permission.

[autumn plume]

Can’t you turn multiplayer off

I’ll do too of i ever visit

[supple quartz]

In terms of SC positioning

Interceptors SC layout works similarly to multitools, their initial layout would be random per site. when you upgrade the ships class, it becomes seeded.

So for two different ship sites, one's A class, the other C class, in the same system. the first 3 SC slots of the A class are random placements, but the 4th sc slot will be in the same position as the C class ship will be when that one is upgraded to S.

[terse lily]

Yeah, something like that lol. I was told something like that I think.

It's a shame you can't really manipulate the sc slots on the ships like you can with the atlantid multi tools

I hear there's a way, but a complicated way. I don't like complications so I didn't bother asking. I prefer chilled hunting

[supple quartz]

You would use the same tactic, interceptors and multitool SC slots are determined the same way, cabinet/crash site (disregarding staff)

For example If you know that the last two seeded slots are next to each other that makes it much easier to narrow the randomised slots to get that ideal layout.

I employ this each time I find an interceptor I really love the model of.

[dreamy crypt]

Thats why i posted it 🙂

[terse lily]

Bless ya, tysm 🫡

[dreamy crypt]

Np

[terse lily]

I hear that with atlantid multi tools though, you can manipulate 2 of rhe slots by reloading on different places, so if you find a monolith that gives you a tool with 2 together, you then can go and reload in different places to align the other two.

Something like this.

[dreamy crypt]

Have few more

[terse lily]

Ooooh, I like the bottom right one here. I'm currently hunting a black and red x-wing that's a badass, so I'll get to the blk dragonfly after this.

[supple quartz]

This sounds like a confusion between staves and Atlantid.

I’m not familiar with a method to manipulate slots for Atlantis tools, their SC layout is determined the same as above.

For staves tho you can view the initial tool in that “cabinet” if the player constructs then backs out a few times they will be prompted with a new seed of staff they are constructing.

As detailed the method here. #nms-multitools message

[cosmic meadow]

Omg are these sentinel interceptors?

[terse lily]

I dunno mate, I'm still learning myself as my autism tends to get in the way of me absorbing a lot of information at a time tbh. I posted what I learned in the multi tool channel though. I'm still going through it lol

[cosmic meadow]

They look so pretty :0

[terse lily]

OK I'm done with this one now, I'm happy with the 3+1 so here it is:

Click the pics for glyphs and coords

Coords on bottom right pic

[supple quartz]

That’s ok haha, I don’t play the game much anymore so I tend to come back to more little discoveries players have made. It’s very warming

I will have a look at the guide

[terse lily]

There's a lot of bases here lol

[terse lily]

Sheesh, this one is taking some time

[hushed crag]

If I find a cool looking sentinel ship I just need to keep searching on that same system in order to get an S version of it ? Or it will always spawn as the class I found it first

[autumn iris]

Each crash site has it's class rolled separately, so seek more crash sites

[merry fox]

Not all systems will have an S, and chances are based on the economy.

[autumn iris]

you can also increase the class of an existing starship using Nanites at any Starship Outfitting Terminal

[hushed crag]

You can get an upgrade to S for 16.500 ? I was grinding around 50k for my corvette

[autumn iris]

As the image describes, this depends on your chosen Purchases difficulty option

[hushed crag]

Oh, it make sense, I think I have everything on hard mode

[spark otter]

Has anybody seen a flee sentinel with fangs? Lookin for one but after 2000+ sentinels not one maybe they dont exist or my rng is kaputt 😄

[autumn iris]

I believe that it's impossible for the "fangs" to appear without the base wings

Selecting the base mouth containing thing on https://nmsce.com/ forcibly selects the base wing part

It seems to require this part too (which is always present when an under wing is present), which means it's impossible for it to appear without at least one of the under wings too

[spark otter]

Dsmn it! 😄

[autumn iris]

So at the minimum, fangs require something like this

[spark otter]

Thats a ugly ship 😄 o well

[jolly turtle]

😭😭

this frying me

[gritty crow]

Mcdonalds colors

[muted carbon]

I literally warped into the system, went into the space station, and less than a minute later this came flying in ,

I think it costed around 41 mill so it incredibly easy to get

[tidal cliff]

Expensive to some 😭 (myself) but yeah mine costed 39mil

Thought they also commonly like landing on dreightnoughts I heard after u beat them and land on em

That's where I found mine atleast

[terse lily]

I love it when that happens

@tidal cliff BTW if the cost is an issue you can always switch to custom settings in your options and take away the cost temporarily. It won't effect your save file negatively either so it's a no brainer

[merry fox]

I leave mine on reduced costs have to spend that moldy money somewhere.

[merry fox]

Looks nice, few days ago found a similar looking one that was green instead of the black.

And an extra bit on the top but looked festive.

[cobalt elk]

Strange.. I went to your galaxy codes and no echo there for me. Must not be the same for everyone

[merry fox]

Which galaxy?
That one is in #10

[cobalt elk]

Took the gate to that location and nothing

[autumn iris]

Which galaxy did you initially use a portal in though?

Know that portals can never take you from one galaxy to another.

So to get to the discovery shown, you must use a portal in Eissentam Galaxy

[cobalt elk]

I have no idea. ROFL. Still trying to figure this thing out. Only been on for less than a week I think

[autumn iris]

There is a featured base at the Space Anomaly Teleporter that's in Eissentam Galaxy, if you would like to go there to portal to places in that galaxy

[merry fox]

Yeah, can be confusing at first since portals only work inside a specific galaxy, and cant jump from one to another.

[cobalt elk]

So use the galaxy code to get to that gate, then jump to the location

[autumn iris]

Hyperdrive warping is not necessary for this, no

[cobalt elk]

How things work in this game, My break feels like an egg in a blender.

[merry fox]

Yeah go to the featured base in the anomaly, then find the nearest portal and put in the glyphs.

[autumn iris]

Using that glyph sequence in the wrong galaxy will send you to those coordinates but in the wrong galaxy, which won't have the same things there

[merry fox]

It's a lot to learn at first then gets better.
And you will still be learning new things.

[cobalt elk]

I have seen this. When that happens, RED text comes up

[autumn iris]

Oh, also this is in a purple star system

purple star systems cannot be reached until the mission "In Stellar Multitudes" is completed #nms-commands message

Attempting to portal to a purple star system before you have access to them will treat them as if they do not exist

[merry fox]

I tried out glyphs for the planet I had a base on in Elucid in a different galaxy, seemed to work fine until I opened up the galaxy map and it looked cloned.

So decided I didn't want to do that again.

[cobalt elk]

Still not bad for my first week and the massive amount of info for this game

[merry fox]

Feel free to save the screenshot and once further along on the path you can check it out then.

Typically I find a ship, take some screenshots and move along.
With a few exceptions I probably wont be back to that system again.

[terse lily]

That's a way to go fr

[edgy musk]

look at my friend sentinel then

[terse lily]

Nice. I got a few of these bug types in different colours

I kinda like em

[edgy musk]

but this not a bug either.. my friend delete the wings but keep the cockpit

use some tools

[cobalt elk]

Found a yellow one almost like image 4

[muted carbon]

Dis i do good posting the stats?

[muted laurel]

legacy? why are the ships legacy

[autumn iris]

It's just this discord channel's way of describing the difference between corvette-class starships (the newest type of starship) and every other type of starship/ship in general

[muted laurel]

ohhh ok. thanks 💖

[terse lily]

Hell yeah 🫡

[inland falcon]

Nice one 😎

[inland falcon]

Same, they're some of my favorites! Lost the original coordinates tho I think. Not too hard to find anyway. I call em Fleas and Scarabs lol

[terse lily]

Haha I'd love to line up my ships like that. I often get rid of them once I've found good slots and posted it. I've got my favourite sentinels and other ships stored on my frieghter though

[nimble stump]

Definitely need some kind of archive or way to see where you got a ship. Cause there's way too many to collect

[inland falcon]

Yee, I'm a bit of a hoarder when I find ones I like 😅 Still gotta get freighters on my new saves so I can archive some.

[muted carbon]

I have all 16 glyphs now does anyone have any cool mainly black and with green sentinels

[terse lily]

Oooooh yeah

One sec

Here's one

#nms-legacy-ships message

This one has a little green on it too

[muted carbon]

I need to look at those after school, my phone wont run near it, ty!

[terse lily]

I think I have one or two I haven't posted yet too because I haven't found good slot versions of them yet, but when I do I'll let you know

[terse lily]

You're welcome 🫡

[teal brook]

ive noticed that in a given system only a certain roster of unique ships can spawn similar to how on a unique planet a certain number of unique creatures exist, does anybody know the number of unique ships that spawn per system?

[random pagoda]

I believe each system has one exotic in its pool. I could be wrong though

[teal brook]

im not too worried about exotics im just trying to find the total pool in a system

i wanna salvage parts and build a cool looking fighter

[tranquil sigil]

Supposedly it’s 21 according to the wiki I’m just not totally sure how accurate that is

[teal brook]

thanks

now that i have a number ill do some in game testing too

for myself

[autumn iris]

Each system has 7 shuttles, 3 fighters, 3 haulers, 3 explorers, 4 more of those last 3 depending on race (Vykeen get Fighters, Korvax get Explorers and Gek get Haulers), and one exotic ship design.
Also, in non-outlaw systems, 10% of all shuttle designs are replaced with solar ships. This chance is predetermined, so if a shuttle is converted to a solar ship then everyone will always see it as a solar ship forever every time it spawns. This means many systems can fully lack solar ships too.
In Outlaw systems, 85% of shuttles are replaced with solar ships and 10% of fighters/explorers/haulers are replaced with solar ships.

[terse lily]

I know it's one sentinel ship per system, but I don't know about other ships

[terse lily]

I guess this is the rest hehe. Nice
