[merry fox]

I just went for a regular system freighter with the ps5 save, managed to fish out an S class.
Gotta love using the visor to see that one is an S but not able to be purchased.

[umbral pelican]

wdym not able to be purchased?

[trim osprey]

Not enough units I guess?

[umbral pelican]

yes but you can find one in a system you want, warp around 4 times then land back in that system on the fifth

I'm probably gonna have to warp another 5 times considering I'm almost at 5 warps

[merry fox]

Cant dock/no hanger, only 1 out of a clump that warps in or is found in the system will have the freighter icon on it.
Others are named and have a different rank but most you cant interact with.

[trim osprey]

Ah, so if you stumble upon those in small configuration, after five visits it spawns as big config?

[umbral pelican]

idk but 3 star economy and pirate systems have a higher chance of S class

actually 1 star economy just has 0 chance of S class

[merry fox]

I would pulse for a bit then drop out and head over to the nearest ones I could see, and then have another bunch warp in soon after.
I made that corvette on that save where I had rooftop access, could just go up there and look at them through the visor to see what rank they were.

[umbral pelican]

oh how do you have roof access? do you just build stairs to a hab unit without another hab on top?

[merry fox]

Yes, and that one actually has a lot of flat on top, you can walk around normally even in space

[umbral pelican]

it would be cool if y'know sentinels are less likely to attack you if you have a sentinel frieghter in the system

[trim osprey]

On the one hand it would be cool, on the other hand it would make sense to go after you more, cause you, you know, stole their freighter.

[umbral pelican]

rescued their freighter

they should be showering you with appreciation

[prime light]

Thought solar ships weren’t apart of the ship crafting yet

[trim osprey]

You can't craft exotics and sentinels, but solars can be crafted if you scrap solar ships for parts.

I've actually made two though I scrapped first one because I haven't liked the looks.

My advice is to find pirate system, get Autophage 'scrap ship for materials' quest, and then either scrapping for parts if wreck is solar or selling materials if it isn't and use units to buy local solars for scrapping.

[umbral pelican]

can you salvage sentinel interceptors?

[dreamy crypt]

Yes

[spring girder]

it is.

[dreamy crypt]

Cant get ship parts. Only scrap for sell

[spring girder]

they are.

[umbral pelican]

so it's a decent way to get units?

I mean sentinel freighters are easy to fight

[dreamy crypt]

There is many ways to get tons of units. Do what u like the most

[umbral pelican]

well there is the scanning foreigners method but that takes a lot of cooking food and my brain hurts

[elder briar]

Are the dreadnaught variants obtainable?

I mean the really big ones idk if thats the name for it exactly but

[umbral pelican]

yes pirate dreadnaught freighters only come in one size and appearance so you get the same every time, you just have to shoot out the engines and shoot all cannons. then you can claim one. if you mean the sentinel freighters, they are obtainable through rescue battles, kill the pirates attacking them and you can claim it, first time is free but be patience and get one you like. you can also get venator freighters.

dreadnaughts still have different classes like S or A tho

[elder briar]

Ive had a venator for a while but i kinda want a sentinel one now lol thanks for the info

[mild spire]

did anyone made a sentinel custom ship? in white and black?

[autumn iris]

Sentinel ships cannot be built, only found. Many white and black ones have been found.

Okay maybe I have too many of these

[pale python]

😭

[remote blaze]

I came back and realised I hated my S class solar. Need to farm parts again and build another

[raven wolf]

can someone please for the love of god tell me what ship this is

[autumn iris]

The Starborn Runner from Expedition 12: Omega https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Starborn_Runner

[raven wolf]

so i cant get it no more?

[autumn iris]

You could get it through having it traded to you using a minor glitch #nms-legacy-ships message (ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades), or use save editing/mods/replaying the expedition offline on PC to acquire it easily #nms-questions message

[raven wolf]

thanks

[hollow cradle]

I didn't realise we could replay expeditions at any time, thought it's only during the special event things 😮

I also realised my game is pausing when I press ESC. Multiplayer disabled does that I suppose?

[autumn iris]

Not necessarily, it only doesn't pause the game when in an active multiplayer instance with another player

[hollow cradle]

I see. I took too long a break from NMS. This game is so amazing every time I play it there's so much new stuff and another bunch of stuff I forgot

But having a blast on permadeath now and never going back

Completing the expedition gave me a nice boost to start the game, and I used the various twitch ships to gather stuff before getting the containers for my base hehe.

I have a Solar on my main save, is there any way to find where I got it from on my new save?

[autumn iris]

Only by knowing the star system you originally acquired the ship in

[outer mango]

(or building it by using the same pieces)

[tardy pilot]

Do exotic S ships have a higher chance in euclid galaxies?

[coral igloo]

.

[hybrid dome]

I found an exotic once totally randomly landing on a station
I am still looking for a ball one what isnt like a vertical sheet of metal

With a ball in the center

[coral igloo]

you mean the guppy?

[hybrid dome]

Yes
Theres one with a pointy nose
I want that kind

[coral igloo]

oh the royal, these are some of my finds, the portal add and coord are there if you want

[hybrid dome]

The dark orange one looks nice
Although i have mixed feelings with glyph sharing

[mild spire]

anyone has a red black sentinel ship (dragonfly pls)

i need cords

[coral igloo]

i found a lot of red black sentinel but i stop recording them, these two are the only left

[mild spire]

sc slots?

[coral igloo]

sorry i dont bother to look for higher classes or change thier classes, you know limited time playing

[mild spire]

i can understand thx tho

[umbral pelican]

can you save edit to give yourself a frigate?

[autumn iris]

You can give yourself anything that normally exists via save editing

[hybrid dome]

I got my first s class organic frigate recently

[mild spire]

chat rate my ship pls

[umbral pelican]

you only need the indium drive

idk why you have the previous hyperdrive upgrades

[mild spire]

have slots using it

[lean echo]

They provide slight boost to hyperdrive range with adjacency

[umbral pelican]

I mean once you get atlantid drive there's no need for them

[lean echo]

Theres no need for previous tiers at all, but if you want to squeeze the absolute most out of your hyperdrive range, then theres no harm

[trim osprey]

Question, Vesper Sail charges only pulse drive, right?

[autumn iris]

It does not recharge the Pulse Engine, it only recharges the Launch Thruster.

It does significantly improve the Pulse Engine's fuel efficiency though

[trim osprey]

Ah

[umbral pelican]

how do you get a vesper sail

[trim osprey]

Buy or fabricate solar ship

They're only type that can have them.

[autumn iris]

Also, the Vesper Sails technology cannot be packaged to cargo, it is fully exclusive to solar ships and cannot be removed/transferred to other ships

[umbral pelican]

oh so it's useless

[lean echo]

No

Solar ships are probably the best planet hoppers in the game

My solar ship takes ages to run out of pulse drive fuel, and the built in recharge is nice

[hybrid dome]

I am gathering the parts to build one of my own actually

I also have a nice royally fancy S class one i found randomly

[lean echo]

Thats what I did

Mainly because I wanted a gold solar ship

[hybrid dome]

Mine will be.... not sure about its color

I will also make a hauler

[elder briar]

I hunted a gray one FOREVER when they were new lol

[tidal cliff]

Like my new interceptor array?

[lean echo]

First, yeah

[tidal cliff]

What Abt the second and third?

[lean echo]

Second, you look like how the spore captain does when they finish a galactic adventure and do the dance at the end before getting beamed up

[tidal cliff]

No

I don't know

[tidal cliff]

This is the second

[lean echo]

The first thing was me saying I like the array

[tidal cliff]

Ohhh

Mb

[lean echo]

Maybe you need to go to sleep, too, lol

[tidal cliff]

Nah,

I've barley accomplished enough

Can't go to sleep this soon

[lean echo]

Look

Today all I accomplished was installing updates on steam before getting too sleepy to play any game effectively

[tidal cliff]

Well you already got stuff setup

I don't got anything on my list setup yet

[lean echo]

List?

[tidal cliff]

The camp, Corvette, the mutation, the farm, the other farms, finding the scrap planet, getting the furnace chassis, getting minatour

Making my freighter nice

[lean echo]

I dont have a list of things to set up

[tidal cliff]

Yeah. U got em already set up

Oh and I forgot

And story line

[lean echo]

I dont plan most of this

[lean echo]

Ive barely done it

I still gotta walk through a portal

[tidal cliff]

I have to talk to Artemis for the first time still

Well, the real first time

That spaceship coms doesn't count, she couldn't hear us

[lean echo]

I dont even think I was gonna progress the story today, lol

[tidal cliff]

And still, then I have the rest of the stuff to do still

[lean echo]

I wouldve done settlement and... maybe sending frigates out

[tidal cliff]

I can't send frigates out yet

Part of the frieghter thing on my list

[lean echo]

I barely ever can

[tidal cliff]

No like I don't have the console built

[lean echo]

Freaking frigate fuel is expensive

I should probably make more of an effort to use pyrite instead of tritium for pulse fuel

[tidal cliff]

I use tritum

[lean echo]

Yeah but tritium is used for frigate fuel

[tidal cliff]

🤷‍♂️ no frigate missions. Need need to keep tritum

[lean echo]

I like reading the logs

Theyre silly

[trim osprey]

Settlements can produce it.

[hybrid dome]

Solar ships are quite interesting in a lot of ways
Early game, they are certainly hard to beat
Although i settled on a sentinel inty pretty quickly

[dawn fern]

Yeah

I like corvettes too

But my solar ship doesn't seem to charge with the solar panel it's odd

[hybrid dome]

It does charge the launch thruster, just not very fast
You can speed it up with the solar charing upgrade
Also, it increases pulse drive efficiency quite a bit from my knowledge
Not sure if it does the same to the pulse drive

[dawn fern]

Nice

Thx

[rotund geode]

Anyone want a sweet ship?

[sly river]

are this ship in Euclid galaxy?

[rotund geode]

Yes

It’s a sentinel ship,

[sly river]

with wings?

[sly river]

oh i seen this video

i have ship from it

[hollow cradle]

I wish the sentinel ships could be the other way around, with the winds swept to the front

[hybrid dome]

Thats so nice

I am sitting on like... 8-10 sentinel ships rn?

Most of em are in long term storage to be upgraded later

[pearl salmon]

Not sure if it's the one you're looking for, but I found this one. Sorry, the lighting sucks in that station.

[hybrid dome]

Thats not bad
Although i am kinda the guy who likes to just run into ships randomly
I will at some point run into one i like
Black and gold is ideal, similar shape but the triwing one
It took me two months to find the singular wing i want on my hauler, was so rewarding to see it

Except freighters
If anyone finds a yellow-black/gray galleon/sentinel, i would love that

[lean echo]

I know, thats part of why I'm trying to get my settlement up and running, but it doesnt have a starship landing pad yet

[rotund geode]

I actually haven’t tried getting it should I do it?

[sly river]

I think yes

[inland falcon]

Not if you make it, just mine asteroids and refine tritium. They drop a lot of hyperclusters. Seems a lot of my solutions in this game involve shooting things 😆

[lean echo]

Tritium cant be refined

Wha

[inland falcon]

Lol I keep replying to the wrong message at first. 💀

[lean echo]

I thought i sent a message

I was trying to say that tritium cannot be refined from something

[inland falcon]

No, I pinged someone else on accident. Tritium refines into DI-hydrogen 5:1

[lean echo]

Correct, but both are needed for frigate fuel

And di-hydrogen is far easier to get

[inland falcon]

Right, but Tritium is found is asteroids

[lean echo]

Yeah, and (so far) isnt affected by resource yield mining bonuses

[inland falcon]

Yeah, that part lol gotta shoot a lot of them.

[lean echo]

And thats boring

At least for now on my permadeath save

Tbh I should start grabbing phase beam upgrades

[merry fox]

I somehow aquired several stacks of tritium on my main save... And not sure how either. I must have shot a lot of asteroids and got a bunch of hyperclusters.

[inland falcon]

Almost wish there were some large enough to land on instead of blowing up to build extractors.

I was asteroid mining for profit when I first started cuz I had a little gold mine on th side. I'd take all my silver and refine it with the gold for more platinum since it sells for more that way.

Then make craptons of frigate fule to sell off as well. I also had natural resources set to abundant tho. 😅

[hybrid dome]

i need to dupe ships
somehow
some way
any way

[twilit mica]

Euclid // Exotic Ship // Guppy // Yellow & Gold // Mosquito Fin // Side Booster // Planet Howdenn 029 // System Usmansk I // VyKeen // Manufacturing 3 Star // Level 2 Conflict //
(Other 2 SC slots are under the X-Class Shield Upgrade and the Launch Thrusters)

[inland falcon]

You can trade one to someone and have them trade it back or use the expedition terminal to copy them before finalizing it. Gotta finish the whole thing this time to do it tho.

[hybrid dome]

ah

[inland falcon]

The first trick won't work with fabricated ships or corvettes. Found that out the hard way when I made my squadrons. Any procedurally generated or exclusive ship like the Golden Vector will do tho.

[hollow cradle]

Would you say this is any good?

[cinder minnow]

Yeh, that's 2 and 2. That color scheme is hot as well.

[hybrid dome]

Is there some quick(ish) way to get a lot of ship slot upgrade thingys?
Those blue ones
Or its better to just farm a shitton of units and brute force it?

[hybrid dome]

Why does that remind me of a shrew

Also yes get it

[cinder minnow]

I explore and when I go from system to system, I stop by the guild desk. A lot of times they have expansion slots for sale. You need to be high rank guild member though

Or you can go online and look for S-class sentinel ships and scrap them. I think the higher class ships you scrap, the more and more likely storage augmentations you get

[light bay]

holy cow that’s perfect

[wide basin]

Thanks! Been wondering how i could get more

[cobalt elk]

In a purple system

[cloud storm]

Made a new ship today, Mostly needed one for space battles so I made a fighter

[dawn fern]

Nice!

[hybrid dome]

Never seen an S class sentinel in my entire life
Even the one i fly rn is class A
Also yes, the guild thing is neat

[viscid crater]

Iv had to start fresh as for some reason my save got corrupted and deleted so is anyone able to give me a certain ship. Its a ship from a past exsperdition that you cant get anymore, im happy to trade stuff later in my gameplay when i have stuff but its my fav aahip in the game and i hated to loose it

[earnest quartz]

Crashing on Xbox still happening now and again

[wooden carbon]

#nms-questions maybe will help..?

[cinder minnow]

Online like youtube or google or something

[hybrid dome]

Not really needed
I like finding them myself

[hollow cradle]

Question; Can I just fly around in combat disabled mode to see what freighters spawn where, and once I find a design I like do the system jump with combat on to get that one?

Or will the spawn differ between combat/no combat modes?

Because I am not having any luck finding the big guys...

And I was thinking ambitious thoughts like finding a 2x2 SC one... But at this point any would do, lol

I've put off getting a freighter for 2 days now, so tonight is the night. I will save once I get a freighter, even if it's just a C class system with bad SC layout 🥲

[hollow steppe]

I'm not entirely sure if the modes affect the spawns of them, but I came across a capital ship recently today, and 2 dreadnaughts that I had to fight off, your best bet is to go to outlawed systems and rescue the attacked Freighter

If you need help, I could taxi you around until we find one you like

[hollow cradle]

That's ok I like taking it slow, I'm just trying to figure out the odds 😛

But thx for the offer

Also; keep or scrap? Scrap, right?

[hollow steppe]

It's not bad, but fixing will be a hassle

[full fulcrum]

bit more of a hassle

damn near everything is broken 😭

good stats to be a casual ship though

[lean echo]

I decided to fix up a crashed ship in my permadeath run to use in place of my starter ship, and it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be

[wooden carbon]

Explorers have a Cool look to them.. 🙂

[hollow cradle]

question, if im alt tabbed and the game pauses do the time for freighter/ time played still tick?

[wooden carbon]

It's like you only freeze and nothing else does..

[cinder fiber]

Is there such a thing as an all round good ship?

[lean echo]

Exotics are essentially that

[cinder fiber]

I’ll use one of my 2 archived ones aha.

[hollow cradle]

I think best all rounder would be Solar, not exotic, no?

maybe I remember the infographics wrong

[wooden carbon]

They can all be pushed towards a good ship with techs, Solars are unique ships for sure.. 🙂

[hollow cradle]

Yeah, it was Exotics

took a looksee into the infographics

Still, probably worth to hunt for that explorer for max jump range, no?

shields and weapons arent as limiting as jump range I suppose

[wooden carbon]

They all have certain min/max at firt, then they mostly all converge upon putting in better techs, but i think ultimately if your goal is an Exotic you will be doing well for a long time, however, if you enjoy the fix up of any ship you like the look of you will enjoy that too. 🙂

For me it's maneuverability, speed, landing efficiency, Hyper LYs, shields, scanners, guns, in that order or so..

It's a slow climb game, but getting an Exotic can be a quick jump up..

[hollow cradle]

I haz Steam ship (:

[trim osprey]

Save mod?

[trim osprey]

When is Interceptor class set? Can it be rerolled?

[autumn iris]

Was set in 2023 when the interceptor update released, all crash site's class is predetermined

all 784352625434 of them

They follow these chances, per local system economy tier

Each system that has inhabited dissonant worlds only has one design of sentinel interceptor, but many many crash sites that each have a different class

so to "reroll", just seek more crash sites

[umbral pelican]

actually the game automatically saves when you get a freighter, so no takebacks unless you make a backup save

[umbral pelican]

but pirate systems have lower chances of other classes, highest S class chance but low chance in everything else

this is an easy way to grab a dreadnaught, altho I haven't tested it. the system may be ruined idk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inpJ91DNP8I

[umbral pelican]

can you recolor all parts of a freighter?

[hollow cradle]

I was just rejecting the smol freighters, and I finally got a big boi so I accepted

[umbral pelican]

B class..

[umbral pelican]

the venator resurgent is the biggest freighter visually. all freighter interiors are the same

this is a venator resurgent

[hollow cradle]

Yeah but I really needed the freighter already, I was getting backtracked so much with teleporting for mats and items and stuff every time... Now I just need to get the item teleporter, but it's still quicker than flying to station and teleporting twice with freighter anyway

Later I will be trying to get this guy;

As in farming creds to buy that boy

It's the pirate fleet battle event I think, it's in a pirate system

[umbral pelican]

yea that's a resurgent. pirate systems have the highest chance of S class but also really high chance of C class

[hollow cradle]

I'm gonna abuse the hands out of manual saves to get it on S 😛

[umbral pelican]

corvette saves the game when you exit while legacy ships don't save when you land inside a freighter you don't own btw so I guess it's better to use a legacy ship

[hollow cradle]

I heard you can scan from corv without docking, and reload, not sure how that works

I was just replaying the combat

[umbral pelican]

exiting from the corvette seat at any point in anywhere makes a restore point

[hollow cradle]

I see

So like exiting ship

[umbral pelican]

and now you can't reload a save

[umbral pelican]

no, because exiting a legacy ship after landing on a freighter you don't own doesn't create a save

so you can reload a save

[hollow cradle]

I see so the corvette doesnt work

good to know

[merry fox]

I think it was different earlier on but was likely changed.

[lost lodge]

these are the craziest ship stats i've ever seen

i've seen higher hyperdrive but everything else is insane for a sentinel ship

[sacred hare]

nearly identical stats to my two best ships, congrats

[lost lodge]

tyy also by rearranging everything i was able to get something much cooler :3

[sacred hare]

ooo

[elder briar]

Are those the glyphs for it?

Mine is 1 shorter it seems so im going to get that size now lol

[autumn iris]

Those are the coordinates to it, as an NPC fleet is alongside it

One like these might be easier to farm for though, especially since you could use a corvette to scan them w/ analysis visor, then warp away & back if they're an undesired class

[elder briar]

Thank you kindly dude

[lean echo]

Oh, grouch, Ive been meaning to ask, what is the smallest freighter you have found?

The coordinates exchange isnt very good at filtering for length when it comes to system freighters, lol

[autumn iris]

Probably all of these

[autumn iris]

I created the "segments" tags for this very purpose

[lean echo]

Ooh, yay

[autumn iris]

These ones are also extremely small/short, due to this "nose" mostly covering the end segment

[lean echo]

I encountered one like those during the beachhead redux, and it gave me the idea of using a tiny freighter for my permadeath run

[lean echo]

Do the ones without this nose always spawn without the booster/wings?

[autumn iris]

Correct, the "cargo" freighters never have wings

[lean echo]

Interesting

I wonder how much theyd block the view from the build area, lol. I want to see if I can manage to build an overlook to see the planet below the freighter

[autumn iris]

They also aparrently have three different hyperdrive configurations (engine shapes)

[lean echo]

What does that mean?

Oh, lol

[autumn iris]

They come as 3 in a triangle, 4 in a square or a big center one with small ones around it

[fading spindle]

Rate my ship

1335 ly range

Is it good is it bad?

[cloud gorge]

Good

100%

[pastel pollen]

Are any of those freighters guaranteed to be S tier, or is it just random? The ones posted coordinates for before I mean.

[autumn iris]

Randomized each time they spawn

You could warp in and out to restart the fight, which respawns them with new class randomization

At least those that say "Guaranteed Event"

[pastel pollen]

ok, so take the SS -7 Kikumaga, first image posted, if I want an S-tier of that, I just have to keep doing that event, hoping to get lucky?

[autumn iris]

Yes, and it would have a 5% chance to be S-Class every time, as well as an 85% chance to be C-Class

[pastel pollen]

can I check the freighter class of the civilian ship without wasting time on the dreadnought, until I know it will be an S-tier?

[autumn iris]

You could, by exiting the seat of a corvette and using your analysis visor on the freighter (you also can't be too far from it)

[pastel pollen]

ah, I must look at it directly, not through the cockpit window

[autumn iris]

That too

[lean echo]

Exterior observation decks are quite useful in those situations

[pastel pollen]

yep, I'm going to have to either build a different corvette or try to retrofit that onto one of the two I have, but it'll be a fun project 🙂

nah, no need, my bigger corvette have forward exit hatch, that worked wonders

[umbral pelican]

but how would you know its class? if you hop out your Corvette, it makes a save and you can't just reload and try again

[autumn iris]

That's correct. However with these Guaranteed Event systems, you can just warp away and back to trigger the event again, no reloading necessary.

Reloading restore point in the middle of the battle may be faster than getting away from the event to warp away though

[umbral pelican]

what happens if you load a save during a rescue battle?

[autumn iris]

It despawns the battle

The battle isn't something that is saved

[umbral pelican]

but then you can't re-roll the class

[autumn iris]

#nms-legacy-ships message

You can, by redoing the event

Again, warping away and back to these systems restarts the battle anew

[umbral pelican]

wait how did someone create and maintain a system that always spawns a pirate dreadnaught every time you warp in and out, for other players?

[autumn iris]

The developers did, yes

20% of all Outlaw Systems and 10% of all High-Conflict Systems begin a Pirate Dreadnought battle every time that they are warped to, if the player qualifies for Pirate Dreadnought battles to happen

this ignores the regular cooldown of freighter rescue events too

[umbral pelican]

but this youtuber shirty has a system that spawns a dreadnaught every time you warp and out of the system, for any player that goes there

[autumn iris]

Yes, that is one of these.

What do you mean by "but"?

Anybody can document these systems and share them with each other to use to farm Pirate Dreadnoughts/Capital Freighters

[umbral pelican]

well you said 20% and 10%

[autumn iris]

No, I said that 20% of Outlaw Systems and 10% of High-Conflict Systems have this property.
Systems that have this property spawn a Pirate Dreadnought Event every time that they are warped to, 100% of the time, unless the player has Space Combat set to Off or hasn't qualified for Pirate Dreads to spawn yet

Outlaw Systems and High-Conflict Systems are different things, they have two separate conflict states.

[oak bridge]

Is this a worth it S class?

[green meteor]

Depends on design ofc

[pastel pollen]

Am I right in understanding the supercharged module slots in that if I put a upgrade module, like one that adds +20% to something in that slot, that module will be buffed, but if I instead put the tool/weapon it upgrades in that slot, all of the linked upgrades will be totalled, and then the total will be buffed by the supercharged slot instead?

[autumn iris]

That is incorrect

The stats of the main module will be buffed, which are hidden in the vanilla game

[pastel pollen]

so it's only the main module alone that will be buffed by the supercharged slot?

[autumn iris]

Yes, which for all weapons except the Neutron Cannon will exceed buffing it's upgrades

[pastel pollen]

ah, so it is still beneficial to put the main module in those slots because the effect will be higher than for the individual upgrade modules

but not because of the "total" value, just because the main tool will have higher thats to begin with

[autumn iris]

Yes, the priority places the main module at the highest importance

Due to it technically having the highest stats of all of the modules

[pastel pollen]

ok, next question, is there any difference in connecting the upgrade modules in a chain, vs. 2x2 or 2x3 for instance?

[autumn iris]

Kinda, the more sides a module is adjacent on the more of a buff it gets

[pastel pollen]

ok

[autumn iris]

So square shapes are optimal, with the most important tech being adjacent on the most sides

[umbral pelican]

system freighters are pretty cheap, I found a B class one for just 8 million

but ugly af

[pearl salmon]

I tend to use a cross shape when I can, as I seem to get higher numbers from it. Here's the same multi-tool with both cross and square on the Neutron Cannon.

[dreamy crypt]

Yes. Cross / dpad/ plus layout is best for neutron canon numbers flexing. From what i know T layout is best for actual dps

[marsh bluff]

Does anyone have any vulture parts for trade? Not sure what I have worth trading for but hopefully we can sort something.

[pearl salmon]

Good to know. I'll adjust accordingly. Thanks.

[copper plume]

I thought you used to be able to claim a crashed ship, get back in your good ship, then fly to a station and then switch to it to scrap it without having to repair it

[main hound]

Can i have the glyphs for this one and coordinates?

[umbral pelican]

I think that got patched

[jolly wagon]

seems now you have to repair the launch thrusters at least to do that 🙁

[inland marlin]

hey guys, trying to get my hands on a very specific living ship, but the egg has now given me coords for another one on the same planet i dont want. how do i get the one i do want?

so this just landed on station in my home system, max base range is like 220ish for explorers?

[autumn iris]

Max would be about 220 base

[cosmic meadow]

Ngl the gray main colour with any secondary gives such militarised x power rangers feel I love it

[main hound]

Appreciate it bud

[twilit mica]

Idk if this would count as Legacy Ship, but my custom Solar Ship has been completed. Stealth Paint, All black with white sails.
Parts used are: Hex Sails, Jackal Cockpit, Double Blade wings with Drill tip

[autumn iris]

All non-corvette starships, all freighters and all frigates are relevant to this channel.

[hollow cradle]

I need to hunt for some good frigates tomorrow

[twilit mica]

Oh ok ty. Is my ship cool?

[lunar spear]

Is this S-Tier Ship rare? Im playing the second day and just bought it

[autumn iris]

Exotic ships are a 1 in 301 chance to spawn as any ship, so quite rare

[lunar spear]

oh wow nice, can I find better ships in the universe or do I have to build them? The Game is not the easiest..

[autumn iris]

"How good" a ship is depends more on the technology/upgrades you install

and how you organize it, as well as what you place in supercharged slots

[lunar spear]

ah okay thanks

[lost lodge]

guys what are the characteristics of shuttles

i cant pin point what they have that stands out

[autumn iris]

Average but balanced stats

while being extremely cheap

and allegedly this chart shows they have reduced launch cost, but it also falsely says that sentinel ships don't have halved launch costs

[lost lodge]

thank you!

[lost lodge]

from what i see here interceptors seem to be the best ones

[autumn iris]

That is subjective, some players heavily dislike their unique handling

[lost lodge]

i love this game because of how customizable and versatile everything in the game is

[umbral pelican]

can you salvage sentinel ships for parts then build a custom one?

or salvage living ships?

[autumn iris]

Only Fighter, Hauler, Explorer and Solar ships can have modules extracted from them for use in Starship Fabrication. Sentinel Interceptors, Living Ships, Exotic ships, Corvettes and Shuttles do not support this.

[autumn iris]

It is impossible to get rid of Living Ships or Corvettes using a Starship Outfitting Terminal. The only way to get rid of either of them is by exchanging them for another lifeform's starship.

Alternatively, living ships that are stored in the Starship Archive can be destroyed within it by holding the Delete button while hovering over their entry.

[random bobcat]

hey guys anyone know if this post is still valid or have ship spawns changed? https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/1k4fgeg/exotic_mosquito_vwing_white_with_gold_stripe/

[autumn iris]

Exotic ships have never changed

[random bobcat]

excellent tyvm

[lapis wigeon]

just made my first solar ship and my first s class ship

i literally was rocking the default ship through the entire story

[sacred hare]

to be fair the starter ship is a surprisingly good fighter class

[lapis wigeon]

it did me well for the entire artemis path so i cant complain

[chilly sedge]

How’s u save up for it

I’m lowkey thinking of just scrapping sentinel ships for money but it seems like a cheat code to me for some reason

[lapis wigeon]

i just farmed distress signals and sold my way up to around 20m

then i sat at an outpost and found 3 ships i liked and mixed them together

[hollow cradle]

Solar ships are great all rounders, and they look great too

But stats wise exotic are apparently better

[pearl salmon]

The way I usually get a lot of money quickly is just go and farm corvette parts. On average, I'll bring in about 30M units per hour or more just selling the salvaged scrap to merchants/pilots.

[pearl salmon]

I wish I could get the cockpit visibility of an explorer in a solar. I probably wouldn't use another ship if I could. lol

[hollow cradle]

I found my ship from main save! On the nmsce website!

How can I link to a search result? Hmm

I'll just SS it I guess

The name is correct and it looks the same so it must be the same ship, right?

So now I can go there on my new save to grab it?

[dreamy crypt]

Names and ship look is proc gen. I would need to compare from where u got your ship and see If the coords match to be 100% sure

[dreamy crypt]

Ship locations are cross save/mode.

[hollow cradle]

So there's a chance the generation couldve changed and its gonna be different since I grabbed it?

[dreamy crypt]

Name is also seed based. But there are more ship seed rolls than available ship variety. So at some point they will repeat. U could find same ship seed roll but in diffrent place.

[hollow cradle]

if it's the same seed, it's the same ship though?

[dreamy crypt]

Cant be sure without stats, slots , coords comparison.

[ancient basalt]

@theplaguedoctor1152 What is that

[ancient basalt]

Thats cool do u still have it?

[ancient basalt]

A fellow sentinel enjoyer, that looks nice

[pearl salmon]

I'm not sure. I found that on a save I was using for testing, so there's a good chance I don't still have it.

[ancient basalt]

Ohhh Oki

[pearl salmon]

Lemme log in and check the saves I currently have. One sec.

It seems I do still have it.

[pearl salmon]

Err, sorry @ancient basalt, it was this one I was thinking of. I don't still have the one with the rotating thrusters. I do have a base built on top of a trade outpost in that system though and have uploaded it. It's just called "White and Gold Exotic" if you go looking for it.

[hollow cradle]

starborn phoenix

[pearl salmon]

Any idea what this ship is and how I could go about getting it?

[autumn iris]

It's the Utopia Speeder

It's from Expedition 9: Utopia, which cannot be done anymore. The only ways to get it now would be to have someone """trade""" you one of their own #nms-legacy-ships message, or unofficial means on PC #nms-questions message

[pearl salmon]

I might have to look into that this weekend. Thanks for the info.

I have a save that I am using to try and collect rare ships on.

[ancient basalt]

How do I find that? Any space station?

[ancient basalt]

That's cool

I had a mod that unlocked the expedition ships as rewards but I feel I didn't deserve them and I'm using sentinels

@autumn iris did u find more sentinels? :3

[autumn iris]

Not really, I've only been doing planets for a while since it's way easier/less stressful. I have made up a workflow to document sentinel ships more easily when I choose to do that

[ancient basalt]

Oki, can I add sentinel ships that I find to your document? I'll send coordinates and pictures if needed

[autumn iris]

You could just upload them to https://nmsce.com yourself if you wish

[ancient basalt]

Did u find any planet with yellow or green lush grass, floating mountains and ruins like the aerin expedition?

[ancient basalt]

Do I have to know what part is what on a ship like this is wing and this is idk body? To upload them?

[lunar spear]

How can I farm Nanit as a new player? U have so much

[pastel swift]

colect slime from boxes and refine it

[lunar spear]

okay thanks

[bleak umbra]

Yeah, refine slime (3 variants) into mould , the mould refines into nanites

[autumn iris]

Unfortunately these are the closest that I have still, no "floating mountains" yet #nms-media message

[autumn iris]

Yes, you have to. It's definitely a learning process since there's so many little variables with sentinel ships

[ancient basalt]

I'll ask my partner where do we make a base :3

[ancient basalt]

Is there like, a place that tells u what this is or what this is not? I know how folding wings and tank paws looks like :3

[autumn iris]

Not really other than searching them to see what they look like, but even then they can sometimes be wrong

at least there's mine now, which I'm mostly confident that there's none I've documented wrong (I went back and fixed a bunch)

[ancient basalt]

Ohhh Oki

[winter obsidian]

You guys wanna see something funny?

[hollow cradle]

It's not an expeditioon ship, it's a Steam ship

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3380990/Starborn_Phoenix_Ship/

Steam

Starborn Phoenix Ship

STARBORN PHOENIX
An exclusive reforged starship, commemorating a time when Travellers old and new joined together to voyage across the stars.

This unusual ship is optimised for effortless gliding during flight, while a localised vector field allows the craft to hover above solid planes.…

[ancient basalt]

i can indeed park here so it is a legacy one right?

[autumn iris]

Incorrect, this is just a bug related to swapping between your own starships

[ancient basalt]

it never happend before to me, its funny tho

why do i have so many dissotant spikes?

idk why i have so many ship icons here but if someone wants to explore ill leave this here, im making the artemis quest rn :3

[twilit mica]

So I recently found the save where I had gotten my first ever Solar ship\

I would like to see if someone can find a system with a similar ship if possible

Blue primary and sails. Hex sails, Verta tip, shielded wings, falcon cockpit

[autumn iris]

This one's the closest I have

[twilit mica]

hmmmm

[autumn iris]

This one is also similar

[umbral pelican]

buy suspicious packets from pirate stations and sell the modules you get from opening them to regulated economies

[thick idol]

Does anyone have the coordinates for an S-class ship?

[low ingot]

Any S class ship?

Doesn't matter colour, type, parts

Any as long as it's S?

[thick idol]

Mmmm

Which one do you have?

Maybe I'll like one of the ones you have.

@low ingot

[low ingot]

I discovered it a year ago, unless the devs shaked something up it should still be there

[thick idol]

Omg

Thx

[umbral pelican]

is it guaranteed S class?

[low ingot]

At the specific crash site I noted planetary coordinates of it should be guaranteed S.

But again, it's been a while since I've been there

Usually the same crash site should always spawn the same class

[umbral pelican]

sentinel ship?

[low ingot]

Yeah

Sentinel Interceptor

[lunar spear]

pirate and outlaw stations ate the same right?

[autumn iris]

They are called Outlaw Stations

Pirate is another word that could be used to refer to them, but they're called Outlaw Stations

[lavish orchid]

I put the coords in but it took me to a different system instead of that one? Did I do it wrong

[autumn iris]

Then you don't have purple systems unlocked yet.

[lavish orchid]

Oh

[autumn iris]

#nms-commands message

[lavish orchid]

Alr ima finish that then

[umbral pelican]

yes they're the same, I just call them pirate

[lavish orchid]

Also do I just wait for a solar ship to come to the space station or do I do something else

[autumn iris]

Basically that yeah, or at any Trade Outpost in the star system

[lavish orchid]

Okay thanks

Just got to get lucky for an S class to spawn

[lunar spear]

Okay, thank you. That's perfect, because I've just settled on a tropical planet with a pirate space station.

[umbral pelican]

why do you have to make a base in the atlas station in ||in stellar multitudes||?

[umbral pelican]

it's faster to hop system to system to get the most without waiting for them to restock

[autumn iris]

You don't, it's just an old troubleshooting step avoider for those who go away from the system mid-mission without visiting a space station

I don't think it's really necessary since the "closer to mission" thing added to the teleport menu

[lunar spear]

Did you install the part that lets you spot trade centers? That helps the most.

[autumn iris]

many of the faqs kinda fearmonger like that tbh, mainly the corvette beginners guide

[lunar spear]

Ah, can I search for them separately? I thought you only found them by luck.

[lavish orchid]

What's it called?

[lunar spear]

Idk im not online .. its 7am in Germany 😅😅

[umbral pelican]

if you have a conflict scanner, you can see the conflict level of a system including whether it's outlaw system or not

[autumn iris]

Economy Scanner

You can do the same thing with an Economy Scanner

as Outlaw Systems have a unique Economy and Conflict level

[umbral pelican]

I think that's what they're referring to

[lunar spear]

ah nice I have to buy it later

[umbral pelican]

oh

[umbral pelican]

really?

I never knew

I guess you don't need a conflict scanner then

[autumn iris]

Economy Scanners are easier to install at least

[umbral pelican]

walker brain's not too hard to grt

[lunar spear]

Outlaw Station systems using skulls as a marker?

[umbral pelican]

yes

[lunar spear]

okay thanks

The game is not easy as a beginner

[umbral pelican]

but you can't see that without conflict scanner. you can do economy scanner like grouch says too

[umbral pelican]

it's because there's nearly 10 years of updates

[lunar spear]

So they do active Updates?

[umbral pelican]

yes

[lunar spear]

thats good

[umbral pelican]

there's one recently called remnant with a new expedition

[lunar spear]

and not normal for a Game lol

[umbral pelican]

all the updates are also FREE

[lunar spear]

Idk if I should do the Expedition

Its not fun for me

[umbral pelican]

yea up to you but you get millions of units and a decent amount of nanites from it

altho there's easier ways to get units

[lunar spear]

I got right now about 100m units

[umbral pelican]

how

[lunar spear]

Wait a second my friend send me a pic he farmed hours in the night and he has 600m units on his 3rd day

How tf can I get this

[lunar spear]

Corvette parts located and all sold

[umbral pelican]

that's from salvaging SHIPS

[umbral pelican]

you can sell Corvette parts?

I mean idk why you'd want to

[lunar spear]

wow thats Crazy

[lavish orchid]

yeah i got that, but how does that help when im alr in the system with the solar ship i want

[umbral pelican]

ships not scraps

scraps from ships

[lunar spear]

bcs I was new and units are important

[autumn iris]

They are worth a lot of units, compared to many other options available immediately from the start of the game

worlds that have Salvageable Scrap aren't too uncommon either

[umbral pelican]

also hard to get a specific one unless you trade

[lunar spear]

Idk what yall mean

sorry

[umbral pelican]

you can salvage a ship for units

if you don't want the ship anymore

[umbral pelican]

and you get that item in the picture when you salvage a ship

[lunar spear]

Okay, where can I do that?

and is it good

bcs he farmed 5hrs and I dont want to waste my time for that 🤣

[umbral pelican]

any space station, at the far back area, at the starship outfitting terminal

[umbral pelican]

easier to hunt sentinel ships imo

and salvage those instead

[lunar spear]

okay

[lunar spear]

okay 👌🏼

[haughty gyro]

I just found this baby

On 2 crashing planets

[ancient basalt]

WOAH

[umbral pelican]

I got stuck on the inside of a freighter

[ancient basalt]

Pls show more

It's really cool

[umbral pelican]

S class resurgent in under 8 tries in pirate system

[lean echo]

Ooh, that one looks nice

[umbral pelican]

yea, awful colors tho

but I can change it

[lean echo]

The colors are close to ones I would like :(

[umbral pelican]

so I over-did the corridors and now it looks like a liminal horror game

[lean echo]

I mean, ideally I'd have gold and teal, but gold doesnt exist much for colors in nms

[lean echo]

You can extend the corridors to place specifically straight and corner corridors so its not an endless series of crossways, lol

[lunar spear]

@kind bramble found this one

[empty sapphire]

can someone help me out? i want to find some new space ships to dismantle them. im new to the game

[lyric dust]

Best way to get new ships are through distress signals, repair them and use or sell for profit

If you’re just starting

Once you have enough cash flow after a time you can just buy npc ships and sell those too

[dreamy crypt]

Space station , trade outpost, planetary archive has often npc pilots ships landing there . U can also put multiple landing pads on your base and npc will start to land on them

[empty sapphire]

distress signals?

[kind bramble]

NICE solar wings sir!

[lyric dust]

Navigation data can get you Distress Signal planetary charts from the Space Station Map Merchant to locate crashed ships.

[dreamy crypt]

Cartographer on space station sells maps that mark points of intrests. One of them can mark crashed ships or freighters.

[lyric dust]

And don’t worry about nav datas, you get em through looting or finding save points on planets like small outposts. It looks like an antenna and usually has containers around em.

[pearl salmon]

Jumped on, went to buy some modules, turned around and there was this guy at the station. Not a bad start for the first exotic/sentinel/rare ship in my collection for this save.

[kind bramble]

oh no @desert spruce The ship make you crash?

[desert spruce]

It turned my screen white and put me in my ship

But the white screen meant I couldn't see anything, even menu

[kind bramble]

the effect of resummoning. 🙁 Mitey sorry. landed the ship so it will be easier for you to see when you return

apparently exploring it while its in the air is.. bad?

[desert spruce]

When I was in the ship I couldn't use the beam down or hatch button for some reason.

But I could use the refiner

[kind bramble]

that makes no sense. Those buttons should be operational if you can refine. WEll then again there is HULL access now.

[desert spruce]

Its a great ship ngl

Smol, cute

[kind bramble]

you can go all the way up the stairs and will be outsie the ship

[kind bramble]

hehehhe definitely smol 🙂

It needs more cozy furniture for passengers

[kind bramble]

you so kind. Thank you for the compliment

[pearl salmon]

Can someone that knows more about combat than me give an opinion on this fighter I just fabricated, please? I mostly just need to know if it's decent or if I should try again. The second picture is just to show what it looks like.

[final plume]

That thing will shred just about anything with an infa knife and some s class upgrades

[pearl salmon]

Good to know. Should I put the one that ups the cannon count in one of the slots or just all S/X upgrades?

[bleak umbra]

The infra-knife accelerator itself should go in one slot, a couple of S-class upgrades in the others. I don't think supercharging the cannon count one does anything, but I could be wrong.

[pearl salmon]

Copy that. I still have to unlock the Anomaly on that save so I can get the accelerator blueprint, but I'll give it a go. Thanks folks.

[umbral pelican]

sentinel ships might be easier ngl cuz not all distress signals are crashed ships and sometimes there's a survivor

[hollow cradle]

What's the smallest/least-parts Exotic we can have? It's the one with the side thrusters only?

[hollow cradle]

I'd say it's a decent SC layout, but you could get like 60 more base damage on a fighter iirc, but I'm no expert

And maneuverability also seems a bit low?

[rancid knot]

Got myself that beauty. Now I need to arrange the tech slots, but don't know how. Could someone please help me?

[ancient basalt]

Is it possible to get a white and gold sentinel ship?

[rancid knot]

Any tips to make it better?

[clear mica]

There's a page somewhere with a searchable database of sentinel ships styles and colors. It also gives the location with the glyph address.

[ancient basalt]

Yeah but it says yellow and I'm wondering if we can get something like this, proper gold

[clear mica]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4030223299339573723/

[ancient basalt]

Thank u!

[abstract lava]

How can you get this ship ? wasn't it only expedition limited ?

[bleak umbra]

It's possible to trade, or on some platforms grant yourself the expedition rewards through modifying data files.

[abstract lava]

How can you trade ships with other players tho ?

[autumn iris]

#nms-legacy-ships message

[umbral pelican]

did they change something? I repaired my ship's launch thrusters and it still said critically damaged

[abstract lava]

double check if anything else isn't broken, as well as some technologies may shown like a 1 missing piece or smt.

Can anyone trade that one ship from earlier expedition ?

Starborn one

[lunar spear]

Yeah, Its Not Bad

[trim osprey]

This can be get through expedition 12, right?

[umbral pelican]

why is there glitchy hitbox collision in my freighter

[rancid knot]

Dont know

[trim osprey]

Dunno, but I noticed those too.
Can you jump over them?

[umbral pelican]

yes

it's like invisible barrier

[bleak umbra]

It's the launch thrusters and pulse engine that need to be repaired at a minimum (though you can still recall them at a base after reloading a save, I think)

[flint orbit]

Rip Milano 😢😭

[random pagoda]

This screenshot would fit better in #nms-corvette-discussion. This channel is for normal starships and freighters, not corvettes.

[flint orbit]

Ok sorry. Could I post exotic ships with cords I find on this channel? Or just starship/freighters I find interesting?

[random pagoda]

Either of those work, yep!

[flint orbit]

Right on, thanks 🪐🔭

[pearl salmon]

I'll hang onto this one just to be on the safe side and make some more to see if I can get the numbers up. What's a good baseline to aim for with maneuverability?

[thick idol]

Does anyone have coordinates for a ship that is NOT a Sentinel and is a normal S-class ship?

[lunar spear]

Is my ship okay as is? Is anything missing or unnecessary?

[hollow cradle]

these are the max stats for fighter;

[hollow cradle]

I'm currently running this, long way to go to max it out though. Getting max slots was surprisingly easier than getting tech for the slots, lol

[severe wing]

Found this on the reddit

[lavish orchid]

Did I do something wrong? I used the portal, headed over to the station and the past two solar ships were just plain blue

[wide basin]

Yep you'll clip through their floors sometimes and run into barriers you gotta thrust over, sometimes the barriers aren't there too its been annoying

[autumn iris]

Could just be different solar ships. If you're at the correct coordinates in the correct galaxy, you'll eventually find them unless I made a big mistake

[lavish orchid]

its probably different ships, it says all the planets were discovered by you

also might make my base here, this planet is beautiful

[pearl salmon]

Is there somewhere we can post location screenshots of ships we find?

[autumn iris]

This place works, as well as places like https://nmsce.com/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/nmscoordinateexchange/

[pearl salmon]

I'll look into it. Much appreciated.

Here's the one that nearly landed on top of me at the station.

[clear mica]

You know, once you have the purple drive you can take out the red, green, and blue as purple gets you everywhere.

[autumn iris]

They don't, they only give adjacency to modules that do.

Which maximizes at around 70LY

[umbral pelican]

oh

so I've been lied to

[bleak umbra]

By themselves, they don't add range, they just enable travel. It's your hyperdrive upgrade modules that increase range.

But you can use your frigate for long warps (they can achieve greater range than a personal ship) and your ship for the small stuff, so it doesn't necessarily need that much range

[wet sonnet]

What ship is this

[autumn iris]

The Starborn Phoenix https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Starborn_Phoenix which was a ship only available for Steam players for a week

It can still be exchanged between players #nms-legacy-ships message or acquired via unofficial means on PC #nms-questions message

[wet sonnet]

Thanks

[clear mica]

Ah. Thanks. I didn't think of that...

[clear mica]

How did you get that color? I started playing after it was awarded so I used the nomansapp.com to get it. But it's like a gold or yellow color. How did you get black?

[autumn iris]

As I stated, this is incorrect, they only give adjacency to ones that do, which only totals to ~70 extra LY

[autumn iris]

The Starborn Phoenix only comes in white and gold, it's model is static.

The ship they have is the Starborn Phoenix, unmodified visually. You are most likely misinterpreting the gold parts as black due to the lighting.

[clear mica]

Ah. Thanks

[clear mica]

Thanks

If I download a mod from Nexus and it's only a .pak file do I need to make a folder for it to add to my mods file or add it just as a pak to the mods folder or add it elsewhere?

[autumn iris]

The game has not read mods in the form of .pak files for over a year now. Refer to the mod installation/troubleshooting guide http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

All mods last updated before Jan 29 2025 no longer work with modern versions of the game.

[clear mica]

Thanks

Sorry I thought i was in the modding page but thabks for the info.

[tulip violet]

does anyone have coords for a white and black sentinal ship?

or white and gold

[autumn iris]

I have a few

[tulip violet]

thanks

[autumn iris]

As well as a bunch that are white all over

[clear mica]

Use this

https://nmsint.vercel.app/

It's how I found my blue ones.

If I want a ship for my squadron and I strip all the tech out before I sell it will it still be a good ship or does it just matter on class?

[hollow cradle]

I've moved around the drives and modules to get the max jump range out of the ship, so they must do something, even if it's just the adjacency bonus 🙂
But good to know I don't need them

[bleak umbra]

Nice

[autumn iris]

https://nmsce.com/ is also an option

[deep garnet]

look at this absolutely beautiful specimen I just found (Shuttle // A:32+19)

[stoic jewel]

Compact

[deep garnet]

pretty cool s class fighter i found too

[umbral pelican]

literally looks like a peacock

[umbral pelican]

it's a real shame you can't fly the Normandy

[kind fiber]

Is this the highest possible core damage for a sentinel

[autumn iris]

Analysis Visor stats aren't accurate I believe, but even then the variance is extremely minimal.

[kind fiber]

I think any difference would be due to rounding. Just can’t remember if the cap is 323.4 or 323.5. I think I remember it being 323.4.

[inland falcon]

Or land on it :/

[umbral pelican]

but how do you repair it

it's a frigate

[inland falcon]

Not sure, I've never had it damaged. As long as your expedition team rating is like a star above the requirement any others you send along should be fine. Is it S class when u get it? I don't remember, but any negative stats can be cleared by leveling them through encounters.

[merry fox]

One like that I don't think will take damage. Living frigates dont get damage either.

[inland falcon]

Makes sense.

[merry fox]

Cant land on them to fix them so they get protected

[inland falcon]

Haha, does that count as plot armor?

[umbral pelican]

pilot armor

in their defense putting an interior inside is difficult given its shape

[inland falcon]

And the dimensions lmao I don't think they made it to scale

[umbral pelican]

it's probably bigger than a frigate

[merry fox]

I haven't even looked at that one very close, played the old mass effect a bit many years ago but the expedition one must be a different ship entirely.

[inland falcon]

A Normandy freighter would be amazing

[merry fox]

Yeah I think it would have been bigger, but then again I dont know what it looked like on the inside.

[umbral pelican]

well there are two SSV Normandy's. the SSV Normandy SR-1 and SR-2

not in NMS

I mean in mass effect

the one in NMS is the SR-1

[merry fox]

Hmm, would that have been from the original mass effect?

[umbral pelican]

haven't played the ME games but it does say SR-2 is in ME2 so I assume so

hope the NMS one doesn't ||blow up||

no idea how they even managed a collab considering mass effect is owned by EA

[merry fox]

That I do not know, but it was one of the early expeditions.

[umbral pelican]

yea beachhead

[merry fox]

Picked it up on my main save when the redux was running.

[umbral pelican]

I think they'll run it again this year so I can grab it

I missed the redux

[inner chasm]

here y'all go. I wasn't even trying lmao

[stiff pendant]

Can someone try to join my base please ? 🙏

[umbral pelican]

was it S class

[inner chasm]

it's an exotic so invariably yes

[umbral pelican]

oh it's always S?

is the color also always the same?

[inner chasm]

per system

[winter obsidian]

TS is so fire

[stiff pendant]

Hahaha yes

Are you seeing my bases ?

[winter obsidian]

I'm taking a gander

[stiff pendant]

Visit "Cosmo Bar"

[winter obsidian]

Yes sir, I'll check it out

[stiff pendant]

If you are still there , i will open my ps5 right now

[pearl salmon]

When you're trying to get the best SC slot layout or maximize stats, is it better to start at C and upgrade or just go straight to S class for fabricating a ship?

[autumn iris]

Both give the same chances. Testing all classes may save time warping to new systems

[pearl salmon]

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

I have to do some jumping around anyway, it seems. Trying to find just the right wings before I fabricate this hauler.

[pearl salmon]

Well, spent the day fighting Sentinels (mostly out of boredom) and ended up with a ton of Carrier AI Fragments. Anybody need some fragments? lol

I'm just hoping to find a cool sentinel ship.

[lavish orchid]

hmmmmm 2nd try or do i go for the big S

[autumn iris]

I'd go big because perfectionism/forever freighter, and that Outlaw Systems aren't too hard to get S in

[lavish orchid]

this worth it

[random pagoda]

seems pretty good

[clear mica]

Yeah all I do is warp to a pirate system and take my time destroying the Pirate Frigate and most times when it destroys the fleet I get an S class salvage.

[flat marsh]

wonderful folks of legacy - hello

has anyone seen mecha wings without a fin??

(fighter)

[autumn iris]

This does not exist.

[flat marsh]

doesn't look like it would be, the mecha come in odd numbers only

i was looking in pins while

a bit sad

hard to know how old that fighter page is too

[autumn iris]

In-game they are called the Swept Wings, and they always have a fin

[flat marsh]

looks like the first one i ever seen

[autumn iris]

Fighter models have not changed since 2018 at least

[flat marsh]

swept

ok

'we' adopted the mecha name somehow.

[autumn iris]

huh?

Oh, yeah all of the names in those images are from before official names were given

[flat marsh]

community adopted the name mecha for the swept wings a

[autumn iris]

Yes, because it did not have a name before March 27 2024, when starship fabrication was introduced in the Orbital update.

[flat marsh]

how about start jumper, (Radiant) with a fin?

[autumn iris]

All other wings with fin variants exist also without a fin

[flat marsh]

hell that not a ship

[autumn iris]

There are many examples

[flat marsh]

i have a set of vector with and without

love my pillar - i made one S class named her suffix BC4

[autumn iris]

This channel is for showing off stuff related to starships, not planetary bases. Stuff related to bases would probably fit better in #nms-base-building

[autumn iris]

Oh wait I thought you said without the fin lol

[flat marsh]

i haven't gotten out looking enough yet. as useless as it seems i was thinking of making my squadron Pillar style starships With the dorsal to match mine without

[autumn iris]

All wings that aren't the "Halo" wings have a fin variant. All wings except the Swept wings have a non-fin variant

[flat marsh]

lol

[inland falcon]

As long as they spawn naturally you can. Fabricated ships can't be put in squadrons though.

[flat marsh]

hmm not sure that is true - i have traded ships and recruited directly after several times, and i think the created legacy ships trade like any other.... but maybe it's been changed. i'll learn a hard lesson

[autumn iris]

Fabricated ships are fully incompatible with squadrons

this has been true since they were introduced

the file structure for squadron ships is exclusively made up of a ship type field, and a seed field

[flat marsh]

what seems interesting, and I dont have evidence - it seems like once I create a ship other ships like it appear in the system

[autumn iris]

no customization data

That is fully false

Ships present in a system are predetermined, made up of 21 different ship designs

[flat marsh]

will it vanish or revert to a natural ship?

[autumn iris]

When exchanging a fabricated ship with a pilot, it may have them next to it, not sure. If you somehow recruited it as a pilot, even if it somehow let you, it would go off of the seed that the ship uses internally for it's stats/SC layout, which do not align with it's visuals whatsoever

[inland falcon]

The parts will basically randomize when you buy it back. Fabricated ships don't have a seed, so it chooses one for you.

You can't tell until you reload

[autumn iris]

They do have a seed

just that it does not determine their visual design at all

only their stats/etc

[inland falcon]

Ah

[autumn iris]

the customizations are an override, stored in the same way that character customization/exocraft customization is

[flat marsh]

yeah I dont expect it to recruit same class or anything, infact all the mods vanish - but the look is all i am after

[inland falcon]

No NPC appears when you trade one to them

[flat marsh]

i spent tons upgrading for squad before to find it reverts

then spend tons more to upgrade at the terminal on the freighter

[inland falcon]

Same. Had all 4 made and ready to go then had to cry and scrap them all lol

[flat marsh]

so that is what i was asking - will the new pillar vanish at trade,?

[inland falcon]

The appearance defaults, so yes.

[flat marsh]

i know the golden vector i gave a guy through the npc reverted class but stayed the same shape

i think it only rolled down to a B for him

[inland falcon]

Exclusive ships and procedurally generated ones don't have that problem

[autumn iris]

The ships class is never saved at all when hired as a squadron pilot

[flat marsh]

i seen that

thats alright cheap fun.. all of it learning trying the limits

i love coming in here for reality checks - as rough as they might feel - at the time

[inland falcon]

The coordinate exchange saved my skin there. Was able to find some that matched the design I wanted. Colors are a pain tho lol

[flat marsh]

its hard to hear because i am recreating a spawned ship, you would think...

[flat marsh]

what about if I build a ship and wish to trade it to my pals? still no go?

[inland falcon]

Nope. Same deal there. :/ Gotta just give them the parts to make one themselves.

[flat marsh]

seems oddly restrictive maybe someday we could trade directly

[autumn iris]

yeah just hangin out with fellow pilots talking about L-ships, no reason to get official.

[novel cipher]

Don't remember if I posted this here, but so what.

[deep garnet]

just started an exped and found this in the second system

[zenith horizon]

Question do yall think it’ll be possible to make a like bay for your regular starship?

[autumn iris]

In what way?

We already have a hangar in our freighter for that

[zenith horizon]

Right don’t have one

[hard copper]

you can mod a corvette to have landing bays and shit

[autumn iris]

These are not fully functional, in fact they are barely functional at all besides landing your other ships on it temporarily (they do not travel with the ship)

Note that we can own up to 12 starships at any given time (regardless of freighter ownership) as well as an extra 18 in our starship archive, accessible from the freighter bridge. Non-primary starship position is not saved, so on next system load they are all in magic nothing-space, ready to be summoned from the quick menu. Corvette-class starships cannot be archived.

[gentle flax]

Why are the non-corvette ships called "legacy" starships?

[umbral pelican]

so if you have 12 corvettes, you're fucking screwed

cuz you can't swap out for a legacy ship

[umbral pelican]

because it's the "old-style" of ships where you have to "hunt" for the ships you want

[terse lily]

If anyone wants to build this, here's what you need.

[tawdry flare]

How can you get rid of a corvette?

[autumn iris]

By exchanging it for another lifeform's starship

[undone leaf]

also you need to have the cordimates for the system

[undone leaf]

no youre not screwed you can you swap them out on an space station with npcs

[umbral pelican]

why are we calling them lifeforms

[terse lily]

They're at the end of the video 🫡

[mild shore]

cool!

[merry fox]

Because they are alive and have forms.

[cinder wolf]

Not sure if this is okay to post here but this is my ship.

[pale python]

You can post about Freighters, Frigates and Starships (includes Living).

Corvettes in #nms-corvette-discussion

[cinder wolf]

Ty

Been looking for this one for a while now.

[pale python]

Someone here built that as a corvette.

[undone leaf]

oh sorry

[terse lily]

Hey np at all man

[undone leaf]

okay

is it the euclid galaxy

?

[cunning edge]

found this in a system and its a S class COME AND GET HER

[dreamy crypt]

All exotics are s class

[cunning edge]

Ah

[cunning edge]

Come on over and start a colony hehe🤣

[trim osprey]

I have a question about Exotics.
Is there one guaranteed per system, or it's pure by chance?

[autumn iris]

Every inhabited star system has one design for them

that design has a 1 in 301 chance to be any ship spawned piloted by NPCs, so you are statistically guaranteed to eventually see it

[trim osprey]

So, shipwatching at station will sooner or later show one landing?

[autumn iris]

Yes. More efficiently at a Trade Outpost too IMO

[terse lily]

Indeed it is mate

[deep garnet]

found an exotic

[true glen]

neat

i have the little bug one with the golden glass thing

[cinder wolf]

I got four in about 4 hours. I go to a 3* system, find the trading post, bring a junk ship for trade then just put a save point at the top of the trading post. Save then reload and watch the first wave of ships come in to land, if you don’t see one then just reload over and over till it comes. Some times it only takes a few try’s.

[autumn iris]

Know that exotic ship spawn chance is not related to system economy tier.

They have a flat rate of 1 in 301 to appear as any NPC-piloted ship spawning

[dreamy crypt]

And 1:20 will be a squid exotic

[cinder wolf]

I just thought maybe the economy tier would have something nicer so I stuck with that. Every exotic ship I got had bad supercharge slots so they are just fun to fly and look at.

[undone leaf]

thank you mate can i get a bootle of woa

[cinder wolf]

Right as we were talking about this my kid was playing and I said hey!! What’s that over there? It was a squid!

Found at a space station

[dusk mist]

just got my first exotic, i swear the trade outposts were ragebaiting me so hard so i went here instead

definitely a good idea to find my own and not use someone's coords since it feels soooo good!

[thick idol]

Does anyone have a Corvetta S-class ship? Send me pictures so I can see if I like them, please 😄

[autumn iris]

I do, but why so? #nms-photomode-gallery message #nms-showcase-corvettes message

[mild shore]

tell me when you find it 😂

[sacred hare]

does anyone have an exotic ship's portal glyphs with the mosquito top fin and the long bottom fin?

[autumn iris]

What do you mean by "long bottom fin", do you mean like this?

[sacred hare]

yeah like that ty

that first one looks great

[proud tiger]

Is the only way tk get rid of corvettes is trading for a npc ship

[autumn iris]

That is correct

[proud tiger]

Daggum ok

[umbral pelican]

why does everyone find an exotic except me

[umbral pelican]

all corvettes start at C-class, you upgrade them slowly to S-class. they have no difference visually, because you build them yourself

how much do exotics cost anyway?

[autumn iris]

Like 30-40 million units on normal I believe

[cinder wolf]

My living ship reminds me of Doctor Fill.

[sacred hare]

possibly the shortest living ship I've ever seen lmao

[inland falcon]

Are exotic SC layouts determined by the system as well?

[autumn iris]

Yes

Well, by ship design (with each system having one exotic ship design)

Aka the seed

All ship SC slots are determined by the seed, except for sentinel ships where the initial layout is determined by the crash site and the layout of slots added with upgrades is determined by the seed

[inland falcon]

So if you see the same system ship but it spawns in a different class they still end up having the same layout?

Haven't hunted many interceptors myself, I've been leaving that to professionals. lol Too many layers of confusion for me.

[upper thicket]

yeah, thats how I got my first one

[lunar spear]

Tf is that 🤣🤣

[lunar spear]

How Can I get it?

[umbral pelican]

void egg for living ship

[cinder wolf]

Use quicksilver to buy an egg at the anomaly. I have a few living ships, some look really different than others. I chose this one for its slots.

[vagrant gate]

Exotic Ship, all of them are S Rank

I don't think Exotic Ships that are any lower THAN S Rank are possible, unless you have like, a Save Editor or something, and even then
You'd only do that for the funny

[zenith horizon]

Check out my smuggler

[dim otter]

There's only one interceptor model per system. Want a different one, check a different system.

[terse lily]

Another T slot ship, Glyphs at the end of the video 🫡

[inland falcon]

I know, I'm not looking for interceptors. I was asking about regular starships.

[dim otter]

Ah. Regular ships have several models for each type per system. Best bet is to go to a trade outpost and watch the fly ins.

Outlaw has a higher chance of solars though

[inland falcon]

Thank you tho 🙂

[dim otter]

But every ship with the same name in a system will be the same model and color.

[inland falcon]

Oh, I know that too 😅 Was just wondering if I happen to see one that spawns in a different class if they SC layout would be the same

I'm assuming so

[autumn iris]

It will be the same, given it's not a sentinel ship

[inland falcon]

Sentinels are pretty easy to reroll if you're not too picky about slots once someone manages to find the style you're after. I usually only pop an echo if the one that was found already doesn't have any adjacent slots, as long as 2 touch I'm happy.

Never bothered to check the layout of the fighters I gave to my squadron tho, just happened to notice one was a C when it landed and the other was an A even though I was hunting the same one. Thank you both again. ^^

[fossil field]

I found a system, discovered by another player I am on the Atlas mission but is this rare? it was also discovered 10 years ago

[hollow steppe]

Must've been playing for a long time

[deep garnet]

armless explorer

[flat marsh]

oh noese

oscar

i haz a additional squadron question i found the ship I recruited yesterday and there is no prompt to recurit the pilot again. are they unique or all matched?

it was it's own spawed ship , and different class. same name.

I may have to get close but not matched. I am remembering from many years ago.

[autumn iris]

You can't hire the same pilot twice

[flat marsh]

There were two ships near the same with color differences that allowed me to recruit but I passed on the for low stats.

It might be same pilot but ship was same.

[autumn iris]

The pilot is tied to the ship design

at least within that same system

[flat marsh]

Yeah. That happened. I think that’s always been there

[autumn iris]

if you buy the ship, then exchange it with another lifeform in a different system, you can then recruit it

[flat marsh]

That might work. I got two so far that are fight cockpit vector wings one with fin and other no fin

All but match see

But I got lucky one was s and one was a so upgrade cost only one.

I know it’s matters little. But it’s kinda RP flex
Since I don’t get to customize them

My resolve it’s to get my ship to looked like one of theirs. My system has two more pilots with close enough ships. And not the same. I think color was different.

Layout has same parts

Only reason I didn’t take them at first sight was low stats.

Hope stats improve on next meeting

I hadn’t built a squad like this since stations had two sides for markets and upgrades

Dang it stats are tied to ship:pilot too

[hazy verge]

Can anyone gift me the areon parts it won’t let me do the expedition pls

[random pagoda]

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

[golden pivot]

Looking for ships that have these two parts

[dim ember]

i found crash ship S

[autumn iris]

Here's all I've found with both of those

[terse lily]

T slot hotrod

Details in the video

[lofty falcon]

So... are these good stats for a golden vector? Or do I need to up my tech game

[lofty falcon]

How and what are you using to cataloging and organize these?

[autumn iris]

https://nmsce.com/

[lofty falcon]

Ill have to check it out on my desktop, any tips for using the site?

[autumn iris]

Mostly just to expand the "Additional Inputs"

[gritty crow]

Where are bro's wings

[pearl salmon]

How is this hauler I fabricated, stat-wise? I don't know anything about haulers, but they're growing on me.

[deep garnet]

another s-class

[deep garnet]

and another

[gritty crow]

This one has even less wings than the one i sent

[deep garnet]

another one

[sacred lily]

what site is this

[autumn iris]

https://nmsce.com/

[merry fox]

If you had a ship you found as an A, or even C class and they were upgraded to an S but then later decided you didn't want them and scrapped said ship, the upgrade modules that scrapping gives should be S rank right?

[marsh bluff]

Hey, does anyone have some spare Vulture parts?

[craggy sun]

Could some 1 with the Stealth Paint for starships From the Adrift expidition would you mind showing me a photo of a solar ship with the color scheme Top Green middle black bottom Green?. i wanna know what it looks like cus i was thinking once i find a good player made starship i would Ask some 1 with it if they could help out

unless its no longer possible to trade starships to a random npc for the other player to buy it from em

[autumn iris]

not possible with fabricated ships, never has been #nms-legacy-ships message

[craggy sun]

dang i had hoped it was not the case

now im sad 🙁 its B.S that you gotta wait a Whole Year for the old Expiditions

[autumn iris]

We have no expectation for Adrift to rerun for the forseeable future, same with all others before 2026 except maybe one that HG really like

[craggy sun]

that's Even more B.S

Normally they only rerun the current year's expeds at the end of the current year. The last two years have had an extra one with those, but both times it was Exp 2: Beachhead

[craggy sun]

man i just wanted to make a black Solar ship it would look so nice 🙁

i also figured the A.i on google was not Accurate it said it was possible to exchange a Fabricated ship to an npc where the other player could then go said npc and get it from em

i even watched a youtube video on the trick but real unsure with the fabricated 1s

i joined Doing the Corvette 1 and there is alot of the stuff i wanted example the damn Atlas Staff which im not butthurt over at all

[autumn iris]

Then let them know!

At best, there's unofficial means on PC to earn those things #nms-questions message, and the game has cross-save

[craggy sun]

not rly a Fan. of that 1 i have heard of it but im not comfy with it

Quess i will just have to pray To RNG and ofc Hellogames that they make it reappear this is just my hopes crossing fingers. F.Y.I just let me have this hope yall XD
