[short shell]

sugest it

[brave mica]

yeah I should, imo more people would be using them and they have all the benefits of a starship like quick enter/exit, proper landing spot at the landing pads everywhere...

[short shell]

yeah

[dark palm]

One of the goofiest ships ive seen

[grizzled copper]

Oh hey we're twinsies

[flat marsh]

its alright mine dumb one have floppable wings - they bug me - but AT least the entry exit animation is no longer jumppy and stuttery

i'd much rather have that badboi

[gaunt gazelle]

[gaunt gazelle]

twins fr

[brave mica]

this is hilarious, I had this one, then I scrapped it because I didn't have a freighter and couldn't archive ships, now it's back with me haha, gotta make a nice showcase of my exotics

[orchid schooner]

Those are my fav type of those alongside the waffle cone looking guppies; they look really neat when they fly and those wings are folded

Like this (not mine) ...it's too much.

But this...this is perfect; alternatively also with a clamshell. Unsure which I prefer, I def like the clamshell look more when they're in the landed pose, but for flying it's a tough one.

[random pagoda]

you can post media in #nms-media for now

[empty shale]

I need a name for this guy

[signal wraith]

What about chunker

[sinful patio]

She looks so damn good, coordinate plz

[autumn iris]

It's a fabricated starship

At best, here's one ship with the correct cockpit and wings, and another with the correct sails, both in the same star system

[sinful patio]

thx!

[queen sandal]

Kinda looks like blue SUV

[queen sandal]

@autumn iris happen to know the nmsce panels to search for to find this? ^^ specifically the side panels, not wings. I'm trying stuff but not finding the right looking ships

[autumn iris]

This should be everything, except for the back boosters which can't be seen

The white things on the wings are near the top right

[lethal chasm]

got another sentinel ship in esseitam glx

[queen sandal]

Courtesy of nmsce

I think i like my blue one better

[brave mica]

wth it's raining exotics in euclid goddamn! two in two days

[brave mica]

this is probably my finest s class tank find so far

[astral jolt]

Holy engines Batman! Pretty sick.

[brave mica]

sweet indeed, it got 2+2 adjacent slots as well once you open the 4th one, very cool ship, still fiddling with modules trying to see how far I can push it

[astral jolt]

Very neat! I'm more into aesthetics myself when it comes to Sentinels, but as one who prefers the black or white ones, finding one with aligned slots is a good catch. Hoping to find one of my own exploring Eissentam.

[tiny haven]

So do the ships still actually spawn from distress signals

[autumn iris]

Distress signal charts can locate crashed ships, yes #nms-questions message

The crash site, along with the ship itself, are already there

[tiny haven]

I mean the pic ones

[autumn iris]

Oh, they don't run out

If you have multiplayer disabled and go there. the ship will be there
Having multiplayer enabled gives the chance of another player being there that recently claimed the ship, which would tell your save "this crash site has been claimed"

[brave mica]

yeah finding color+slots+class is a tough combo, there are plenty of a/b class I get with 2 slots from the getgo but rarely it develops to 2+2 or 3+1, this is my second s class with 2+2 slots and they upgrade pretty similar, slightly different in handling but both beasts nonetheless. I did find a nice white tank but didn't get to check the slots yet, in euclid though, still didn't get to eissentam 🙂

[astral jolt]

I went through a few dozen galaxies before deciding to double back to Eissentam and stake out a sector there. Been locating systems that have either a T3 or Pirate economy, one for each economy type, while also having minimal sentinel presence excluding Dissonance. Having accomplished that, I'm now farming for an S-Class freighter. After that, I'll probably go through the local Dissonant systems, regardless of other sentinel presence to catalogue their interceptors.

[empty shale]

Flying and forgot to deploy the sails

Also, this is a dumpster fire of a dogfight.

[placid anvil]

Found a radiant pillar-like in gold and greyish blue, put it on nmsce as I dont have image permissions yet - https://nmsce.com/preview?i=e19b6161-fc53-4b6f-92e1-6583b13addb92

Has a dorsal fin but otherwise is the bc1 design

[delicate idol]

hi

some 1 can help me get a Pirate Dreadnout? Frigate Pirate

[frozen flicker]

When finding a crashed ship, you can save a bunch of money by putting it in storage. That will “remove “ all broken cargo slots.
News to me, hopefully someone else will find it useful to.

[sonic stirrup]

You can?!?!?

New life hack

[frozen flicker]

Yea all broken cargo slots are fixed

Module slots are not affected by this unfortunately

[short shell]

lol

[queen sandal]

Man when I'm hunting for a specific exotic in a specific system i feel like they never spawn, such a drag

[golden pivot]

I know this is a stretch but is there any ship that has an Evangelion vibe

[frozen flicker]

I apologize in advance for not remembering where I found it

[delicate night]

Kinda reminds me of the B-Wing

Kinda Similar how the Sentinel Interceptor reminds me of the V-Wing from Rogue Squadron.

[echo pendant]

Second exotic lmao

Incase grouch wants

@autumn iris

[frozen flicker]

Decent damage output finally

[echo pendant]

Try and find better s class upgrades

And put them in supercharged slots if u can

I did that and got 217k dps

[frozen flicker]

On the infraknife ?

[autumn iris]

Yeah, but 50k is already more than enough for anything

[frozen flicker]

All 4 sc ?

[echo pendant]

Yes

Wait

No

3

[frozen flicker]

Idk, if maneuvering drops to much ill not be able to hit anything with ika

I have 2sc on pulsedrive, maybe I could swap around a bit

[brave mica]

the combo of cyclotron and positron is absolute beast without sc slots, cyclotron rips through any shield and positron kills the ship in two-three shots, imo putting weapons on sc slots is a waste, whatever you get from 3 s/x class modules + the blueprint upgrade is more than enough to deal with anything, pumping manouverability by prioritizing the pulse drive both give you far better control and speed.
these my two s class sentinels that I've used a similar setup for, the hyperdrive and pulse engines both have dual sc slots for the technology+best module on the sc slots, the other two s moules build a cube, the blueprint technology goes around that setup and if you move modules around you can find the highest score possible.
both weapons give me ~20-30k damage and I swear I never had any issue ripping through 10-15 pirates or killing a dreadnaught in less than a minute, the positron is killing the engines in 2-3 shots, the turrets in 10 shots while me not holding the button but just clicking the shots, that way it doesn't heat up quickly.

also positron is the best farming gun for salvaged scrap, dissonant generators or minerals that don't require the advanced mining laser.

[brave mica]

this ultra minimalistic tank I've found, it's so cute and got pretty good slots setup I almost hate to scrap it, but I've documented it so maybe will come back try to find the s class

[queen sandal]

Man ive been hunting for this guy in one of my systems for ages. Finally saw him on a trading post i built a base on.

[brave mica]

I still want a white one, I have the orange one but would love to have a white, and a red too

[brave mica]

decided to upgrade this badboy and dang it just got better! 3 perfect slots, gonna see what I can squeeze out from pulse drive on 3 slots

[astral jolt]

Yellow tank in Eissentam. System is a T3 economy

[torpid skiff]

as a creative player, they need to add the ability to buy modules for your starships because like I want these cool wings and I want this cool cockpit and I can never get these two together. of course it would also help normal players a lot because everything has its own ability and They can just price it as much as they price the Corvettes

[torpid hull]

How are you getting those numbers? I'm stuck at like 40k

[brave mica]

my current exotics collection, turns out I did have the yellow folding "Nemesis Of the Gek" in archive, now I have two of them, they even have the same name!

[autumn iris]

Place them into supercharge slots, and also install the Q-Resonator blueprint tech. Know that the overall combat difficulty option impacts damage readings

[brave mica]

got my first living ship, it's beautiful but how do I upgrade it? also, mine doesn't have any adjacent slots, does it come with adjacent slots in other variations? i.e. does it worth buyin another egg and do the quest again? or they all come with scattered slots?

[autumn iris]

#nms-commands message supercharged slot layout for all starships, multi-tools and freighters are random, based on the design of the ship (besides sentinel ships and multi-tools which are more complicated)

[brave mica]

oh wow it's easier than I thought to get another one, maybe I'll try again, 3k quicksilver and 10k nanites is not that bad, thanks!

[brave mica]

@autumn iris one more question, I see I'm left with the cracking egg, do I just get rid of it or should I keep it?

[autumn iris]

It can be safely discarded

[rustic current]

Yellow and black Sentinel

[maiden hollow]

Supercharged slots….and move the modules around till you get the highest number. Try to get ships with the super slots grouped together

[cinder folio]

Is there any way to find an A or S class sentinel?

I found 3 ships, but they are all C-class...

[vernal flume]

wait how do you even get a C class

its always A or S class sentinal when you found them

[cinder folio]

No... Even now I use a class C one

[vernal flume]

bro its that im just pure lucky or your luck is minus in this situation

in my 10h of playing

im confused rn

[autumn iris]

Class is random, each crash site has a different class

the chances for which are determined by the local economy tier

[vernal flume]

welp those sentinal ship of mine are all A or higher

so im confused

:/

[autumn iris]

Why are you confused?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luck

[vernal flume]

i never have a B or lower sentinal ship

[autumn iris]

Okay

That's not unfeasible

especially if you've only found two or three of them

[vernal flume]

so i thought its only A or higher

[vernal flume]

nah like 10 already

[autumn iris]

Then you are very lucky

[vernal flume]

i guess then :/

[autumn iris]

It's not a mystery, it's just luck and statistics

unless you have some sort of mod installed that modifies these chances

but this would modify the class chances of all ships, freighters, frigates and multi-tools too

[brave mica]

sure, keep digging through, I've found some s class after 20 c/b/a classes, I keep digging the ones I like but sometimes if I get an a class with 2 or more adjacent slots I prefer to get it and upgrade, sometimes b class results in the same thing, recently I upgraded a 2+1 a class and got 3+1 slots so now it's my fastest ride.

[fluid adder]

Are base stats important for custom ships? Or just sc slots?

[autumn iris]

tbh not really, you can upgrade ships enough to do whatever you need regardless

and the stat bonus % range variations are not very large

no matter what you make, it will feel bad without upgrades and amazing with upgrades

[fluid adder]

Ty, what are the ranges tho? DMG 70-90 for example? Its in 300 to 360 most of the time when im looking at it in the stations

[autumn iris]

As I described, these are bonus % ranges. They apply to the final stat, multiplying it by that amount. Also, damage potential on the right is not accurate on starships, hover over individual weapons for accurate damage information #nms-questions message

[fluid adder]

I see, thx a lot

[junior sand]

found a red and black living ship

also has triple engine on back

[dreamy crypt]

Also planetary +- coords of crash site spot would be handy . If someone would want to brab it

[royal zinc]

Damn, that's a nice informative picture. I shall save in somewhere

[little carbon]

Can you put a communication station down so its easy to find?

[queen sandal]

Yellow boy

I'm running out of archive space for exotics

[twin hawk]

Any coords?

[brave mica]

I finally got one, now I need the red one too 😄

[rigid crater]

Boneless starship

[bleak umbra]

Found this one on a freighter after saving it from pirates

[undone ore]

cool red and black one

[broken granite]

Bro ships are so expensive

[cinder folio]

Not really... Price it depends on a lot of things....

[brave mica]

some haulers are pretty expensive for a ship, but others not so much, solars very cheap, fighters too, imo fighters can be a really good "do it all" ship, fast, lots of slots and so on. also, if you get yourself a crashed ship, just fix the engine and thrusters you can use it for trade against a ship you want, in many cases you can dramatically reduce price of a ship by trading off a salvaged one.
or, you can make a lot of units from trade routes, scraping ships and more, if you have plenty units you'll see that ships are pretty cheap.

[broken granite]

I got my first free freighter and it had less storage than my fighter how tf lol

[brave mica]

it's probably low class and the freighter bulkhead (storage modules) is relatively hard to get, and it's not transferable if you switch freighters, honestly I'd save any bulkhead modules for a good freighter, a/s class once you'll get it. for now expand your exosuit and starship storage as much as you can because you can buy these, scrap ships for storage or use the exosuit maps to get to drop pods that give you slots for free.
but bulkhead is harder, you can't buy it, you have to do things to get it, like save freighters from pirates, level up with guilds that give you a module here and there, do derelict freighters, so save anything you get for a good one.

[cinder folio]

@brave mica
Maybe @broken granite, He's at the beginning and doesn't have many units, and maybe that's why he finds ships expensive...

[brave mica]

yee that's why I suggested couple of things that doesn't cost a lot, like maps for salvaging ships, you get navigation maps at every save beacon, convert them to emergency maps, get a c class hauler that will cost a metal plate, di hydrogen jelly and a hermetic seal and will pretty much cover almost any s class ship in exchange.
or, getting economy scanner and doing trade routes, very quickly you can can get enough to get almosts any ship.

every minor settlement gives you like 3-6 maps easy, that's enough emergency maps to grab couple of ships and scrap them or trade them, costs almost nothing

[cinder folio]

This is the cheapest and easiest way to make money

[brave mica]

s class explorer is like 12M, scalvaged c class hauler is 20M? so for a plate, jelly and seal you pretty much can get free s class ship

on another note, euclid been too good to me, this is beautiful! never had a blue one

[mossy pumice]

Living frigate 🔥

[sonic stirrup]

Cool sentinel fighter, looks better than mine

[mossy pumice]

Thank you! This is my main 🔥 🌶️ reminds me of peppers haha

[brave mica]

how is this even possible? I got the same ship again, the glyphs look identical except the first one, I found the same one yesterday on a space station, bought it, archived it, and now the exact same ship landed on my freighter, same name, same slots, same everything

modules a bit different so it's another ship, but exactly the same

[cinder folio]

Maybe a bug or something...

[brave mica]

has to be, right? like, it's the same ship but another one

how two exotics can exist in the same system?

[cinder folio]

I don't have much experience with exotic ships, I only found 2 and bought them

[brave mica]

I guess technically it's not 2 exotics, it's the same one, but two of them

they supposed to be one in a system, has to be a bug

[cinder folio]

There's no way... There's only one on the system

[brave mica]

it's a gorgeous ship but I don't need two of it haha, weird to pass on exotic...

[autumn iris]

This is completely normal, each system has an infinite amount of each ship design

you can even see multiple of the same ship design (which each will always have the same pilot) land next to each other

know that the first glyph denotes the nearest planet, each planet has a different first glyph

[brave mica]

yes but exotics? I assumed it was only one ship per system

[autumn iris]

One design, infinite ships

[brave mica]

good to know

[autumn iris]

this goes for all other ship types that spawn via npcs, and even via crash sites as the stored data for claimed crash sites is eventually cleared

[storm thunder]

I saw a red and white one of these earlier but had no clue it was rare

Found this cool yellow squid earlier though

[random pagoda]

Corvettes belong in #nms-corvette-discussion

[tulip atlas]

My bad

[queen sandal]

I wish i found a cool squid. I got one from someone elses find but finding my own would be cool

[brave mica]

I got twins too, and with the same colors hehe

[queen sandal]

I had twin exotics show up once, and i didn't have enough money back then to buy one

[brave mica]

is that a cool freighter?

never seen shaped like this

also dual sc slots seem useful for something?

[eternal token]

Niceee

[eternal token]

I found a all white zebra print one

[storm thunder]

Been driving around in it since I found it

I think they all have the zebra print

[fallen plank]

Once i got like five of the same huge shuttle spawning lol

[cinder folio]

The most beautiful fighter (in my opinion)

[dreamy crypt]

Am i doing something wrong? Im trying to get specific living ship but game marks diffrent same crash site every time.

[brave mica]

I really like another variation of a shorter one, I can't find a better picture but this is the only fighter I kept, absolutely love it, some hotrod ones look nice too but a bit too long for my taste

[bleak umbra]

If this is your first living ship, you need to claim the one from the quest first. Then you buy/obtain an additional void egg then go to a specific one and claim it.

[dreamy crypt]

Not first

[dreamy crypt]

Ok thx. I think i know where i made a mistake

[dreamy crypt]

Idk how to fix it tho

I accidentaly identified the crash site

Idk how make it unknown building again

[heady orbit]

Anyone had the chance for 5 star missions for fleet?

[dreamy crypt]

I had 3* max. Maybe if your frigate was very weak it could go higher?

[honest cobalt]

Im fairly new and I just spotted this weird-named ship, so I gotta ask, is it common to see ships named like this? its the first one I see and I found it pretty cool

are there more like it? *** of the Gek or of the Vykeen?

[merry fox]

Yes, since the names are proc gen.

[honest cobalt]

Oh damn, now I wanna find a gek and vykeen one

[viral geyser]

That name 'Hayasuki' seems very familiar.

[viral geyser]

I like the 'Triumph' ships myself. 😎

[pliant stag]

By any chance anyone knows the name or where cna i find this ship

[marble trout]

That ship type is called "exotic", and whilst I can't tell you where you'd find that exact one (if there is a full screenshot, it will have the portal address and galaxy at the bottom), These ships pop up in most 3 star economies in various shapes, sizes and colours

[bleak umbra]

I can find them in blue & gold or silver on NMS CE, but not blue & red.
Example blue/gold one: https://nmsce.com/preview?i=4e95a49a-838f-48e3-b2c1-98aacce32f15
Example blue/silver: https://nmsce.com/preview?i=07c1ff97-9f01-4cb1-9141-811a8695a8c12

I can't find a blue/red one on reddit either

[pliant stag]

Lol yeah i know they are on the exptic class, yeah i know they usually have the planet address at the bottom but in this case i was only able to find this pic no name or address lol thats why i came here to try to find someone that has seen it or knows about it by any chance

[pliant stag]

Oh man thank you soo much!!! That works its close enough

[autumn iris]

Exotic ships do not have red as a secondary color, only silver or gold

the one in the image shown above is blue and gold

[bleak umbra]

That explains why I couldn't find any, thanks!

[autumn iris]

Their possible primary colors are red, blue, white, orange and yellow. So there aren't any green or purple or black ones either

[merry fox]

It looks reddish due to the lighting.
Some of the planets and stations have odd light filters or poor lighting.

[frozen flicker]

Location and planet picture 2
Cords and galaxy picture 1

[brave mica]

found very cool white folding one in a T2 economy, I was avoiding T2 economies but no more, found a very cool s class experimental tool and an exotic

[upbeat fossil]

I know that's cool and all but that looks like Vector's ship from Despicable Me...

[oak ocean]

Nice!! I've been exotic hunting with 0 luck yet.

[brave mica]

well it's raining exotics in euclid, dunno maybe it's my luck but I got like 6 of them in a week or so, I even got some twice, spend time hanging around where ships land like trade outposts, space stations, archives, freighters, eventually it will come, it has to, right? I don't sit long time in one place but for example many of the times I've got one I was sorting out new tool or new ship with modules, so if you spend time on setting up new tool/ship do it where ships land and occasionally keep an eye on the platforms. also most of my finds are in T3 economy but T2/pirate deliver too

[grand tinsel]

Economy tier doesn't matter for exotics, same spawn chance in all inhabited systems.

[brave mica]

yeah I suppose, I don't spend enough time in T1 economies to say I didn't find any exotics, I spent some time in dissonant systems hunting sentinel ships, which I generally couldn't care less about their economy, I actually went more into abandoned than normal systems, but now I'm doing multitools so T1 doesn't actually attract me at all.

[oak ocean]

Coordinates would be cool, if allowed! I'm new to the discord and the game itself! 😫 Already landed myself an S Class Pirate Dreadnought xD that was a super proud moment for me 🤣

[brave mica]

depends on what color/type you're looking for, there's a lot of them in https://nmsce.com/ just choose exotic and the galaxy you're in and you'll get a lot of options to choose from

[oak ocean]

Thank you for the help! Appreciated very much!

[brave mica]

second one today, never had a bubble!

[oak ocean]

I tried finding the bubble but it was like it was not allowed to spawn?

[brave mica]

what do you mean? it's in the system it was found, you just need to meet one

[oak ocean]

I went to the coordinates it supposed to be located at and nothing was there, couldn't even mine for buried tech bc of a person's base.

[brave mica]

oh no it's not in the specific coordinates

it just means that the one they've found is in that system, you can find it in space station, trade outpost, freighter and the planetary archive

best you can try is to explore the system and spend some time on those places, it's there you just need for it to spawn for you somewhere

it can take time but it's there somewhere

unless you looking for a crashed one?

[oak ocean]

Ok! Sorry Im being such a noob. Im use to playing Ark Ascended.

A crashed one.

[brave mica]

ah, so maybe you need to reload somewhere?

do you have the link of the one you're trying to find?

[oak ocean]

Let me get it

[brave mica]

btw I'm not sure about the rules of crashed ones I think they different from pc/ps4/xbox etc.

like some players can't get same ship on a different platform

[oak ocean]

Im Xbox

[brave mica]

yeah it might be the reason, if the player found it on pc it could be that you won't be able to get same ship

[oak ocean]

https://nmsce.com/preview?i=0926ebd3-d58a-4a60-8a2b-18c6d19e7cd6

[brave mica]

I know it's like that with multitools not sure about ships

[oak ocean]

I find same ships as my other half quite frequently, he's PC

[brave mica]

I'm in the middle of searching for a tool, I'l jump there to see but I'm in pirate system it would be a mess to get back to

hmm

[oak ocean]

No no, youre good! He's going to log in and assist me in ship hunting!!

[brave mica]

some people on reddit post reporting they don't find anything

I just showed up at this ship (PS5) and another player was already inside it. They fixed it up and flew off.

Does it respawn? How long would that take?

[oak ocean]

I appreciate all the help and input you've given me so far! Very helpful

[brave mica]

PS5 seems to have different thing too

np

[oak ocean]

Got it!!!!!

[brave mica]

hard to tell with the planet filter, are the markings gold or silver?

[autumn iris]

Gold

Or wait...

Nah that's gold

[brave mica]

I thought so too but the yellow is so strong there

one simply needs to take a picture in deep space without planetary hue

[autumn iris]

We already know that it's gold

My blue light filter gave doubts but I fixed that

[brave mica]

I had trouble to see that from the link as well, too much yellow, the silver can easily look like gold with such strong filter

my fully red sentinel sometimes look green or grey with filters, the markings sometimes look very different on these planets

[marble trout]

Thats almost identical to mine

[brave mica]

glorious ship, absolutely love the exotics but always wanted the bubble, it gives me the dune imperial envoy ship vibes, just in a very small form factor

[wicked solar]

HOWW

tehe found this yesterday and been flying it since. it replaced my beautiful green solar sailer (which i still have)

and then i found this today. couldnt afford it and i prefer the style of my current one anyway. howeever, it wouldve been nice to scrap for slots

[wicked solar]

found another!

[brave mica]

spend some maps on distress signals and try finding any class broken hauler, it’s not very hard to find one, keep it in your inventory and just trade it next time, they are worth more than the exotics or maybe you’ll need to add something not significant to get exotic/fighter/explorer, all of them great for scraping because they give you s class modules and augmentation slots, just invest some time to search for broken haulers they are great for this

[oak ocean]

Its baby blue body, dark blue inner fins, and gold accent designs

I actually managed to retrieve 4 designs of the bubble!!

[wicked solar]

Oooooooo alrighty! Thanks for the advice!

[storm path]

my kingdom for a fighter with the right engine 😭

[analog orbit]

mfw I opened this channel and this is the first thing I see AND I'M WATCHING DUNE AND IT'S THAT SCENE

[wicked solar]

4th exotic in 48 hours 🥹 what the hell devs?

finally found a SQUID

[wicked solar]

weird, i think steam takes higher quality sc's than the game itself lemme check

ok yeah. first picture is with nms sc and second is with pressing f12. better quality on second one (position is slightly different but didnt affect anything)

[brave mica]

I've found my new favorite way to render new waves of ships, if you're looking for exotics you don't even wait for them to land, for standard ships I guess a corvette can work, you can get up from your seat and scan them but if you're after exotics or specific design that's the fastest I've seen new waves render

[oak ocean]

Living Frigates exist?

[brave mica]

yes I have one, you need a device for that and you can get one in no time

called Dream Aerial

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Dream_Aerial

I think I got if from one of the expeditions, I'm not sure if there's another way to get one

[oak ocean]

I have one!! The Doomed Faterekhae

[brave mica]

so you just equip it in the exosuit inventory and pulse through space

it should catch one

[brave mica]

nice

I have this one which I somehow got in a class from the getgo, apparently you can feed it too but I haven't figured it out

I guess it will yield more things in return? dunno, I haven't explored the whole food aspect yet, at all

[brave mica]

it worked!

[trail arch]

Anybody got a Utopia Speeder they can gift me?😇

[fathom trout]

Food, AFAIK, just changes the traits (and thereby stats) on organics

[brave mica]

caught my first squid using my new method (with 3 adjacent slots woohoo), it really works!

[fathom trout]

noice

[jolly quail]

How do people find these things?

[dreamy crypt]

Exploration

[marble trout]

And /r/nmscoordinateexchange

Theres also a discord where people post their finds and the portal address screenshots

[echo chasm]

Can someone help me I need spawning sac

[graceful arrow]

should i keep this one or scrap it? got it while doing a quest, voice of freedom or something iirc

[dreamy crypt]

Try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[merry fox]

Up to you, if you like how it looks then doesn't hurt to keep it, can always use a secondary ship now and then.

[echo chasm]

Did that no response lol 🤣

[golden pivot]

What do you guys like more the guppy ships or squid ships

[graceful arrow]

i decided to scrap it for the main body part

[echo chasm]

Living ship collection

[merry fox]

Got plenty of options for the wings if you make your own.

[west wave]

So I just started playing recently and have been trying out hunting exotics. I have found 3 so far and two of them are the exact same design. I can’t see any visible differences Is that normal?

I was in different systems

[west wave]

Found 4 now and another dupe. I’m confused lol

[wicked solar]

Found my squid naturally (as well as 3 other exotics in the last 48 hours) I really should've recorded locations 😭

[wicked solar]

Just found another in a pirate system 💀 wish I'd find one of the folding wings ones. Oh well. Won't be buying this one

[wicked solar]

Tehe found my 6th exotic lol

[hushed zephyr]

what is an exotic

is like and advance ship

[queen sandal]

I have found several exotics but never found my own squid. My nmsce squid was my main for a while, now i probably use Corvette or sentinel most

[west wave]

Yea they have a different design and are always s tier.

Each system has only one variation of them

[golden pivot]

I should get another Living ship

I just gotta figure out how to do the coordinates thing

[wicked solar]

Solar sailer are so fineeeeee. I still have mine even tho I usually fly something else. Bought a beautiful green one off of a pirate

Bonkers

[random pagoda]

@errant lynx i summon thee

[errant lynx]

g8erhju j

[wicked solar]

Damn that's a ton of slots

[craggy sun]

i upgraded the storage opf the ship abit :3

[craggy sun]

if you get the parts i mentioned and go to that space station you can get the same ship tho not in black if u dont got the stealth paint. im a big fan of the solar ships they are my favorite to fly Around in and fight stuff i dont rly care for dmg i jsut wanna fly a Fun ship

[wicked solar]

More than a bit lmao

[wicked solar]

How do I get parts again?

And same. That's why I fly a squid ship now instead of the Corvette lol. I like the weird alien looks and smooth lines. When flying an alien ship I don't like sharp edges. Anyway, I have a green solar sailer, I just don't use it anymore. I'd love a white and gold one with blue sails

But I'd prolly still mostly fly my squid

[latent rivet]

you break down existing legacy starships to get parts

[rustic current]

Not my favourite style of ship but I really like the colour scheme on this

[latent rivet]

Looks very nice

[brave mica]

does it matter the class of the ship if I want to use it's parts? like scrap for parts? I want to build a hotrod fighter but I realized I might be wasting time looking for s class just for the part, I don't see class on the part itself just the core

[split breach]

class doesn't matter

the parts you extract only tell the game which model / shape to use when assembling ships

the reactor class sets the finished starship's class

[brave mica]

that's great, I've literally passed on ships I wanted for their wings cause their class wasn't s, now I need to find the correct parts again 🙂

[dense spruce]

Reminds me of Lego Mars Mission

[latent rivet]

making ships is fun. Underrated ngl, because it seems a lot of people just get a sentinel ship

[brave mica]

I've made a solar, it was quite good ship but I guess it depends what you need, for example I've been rocking my white squid for the last day and after 4 systems I'm definitely going back to my sentinel.
I mostly hunt sentinels and multitools, so couple of things that interceptor just does better for this just make it a better suited ship for a job:

• interceptors hover, crucial for pirate dissonant systems for farming resonators, I just can't do it with the squid and it's quite frustrating
• interceptors much faster within atmosphere, same setup 3 adj sc slots for squid and interceptor dedicated to pulse drive, squid gives me ~315u/s while the interceptor ~460u/s, that's a huge difference that I literally feel, when I'm doing 100+ settlements per system the time it takes for the ship to get from outer space to the settlement is almost cut by half, squid takes ~10 seconds to get from jump to the target while the interceptor ~5-6 seconds, that's huge difference.
• interceptors are way more efficient on the launch thrusters, I can do a dissonant planet looking for a/s class interceptor and never recharge, but squid takes a lot more fuel with the same tech upgrades.
• interceptors have more slots from the get go, I only opened the tech slots to fit everything I need and I've been rocking this ship for weeks and didn't feel like I'm missing cargo slots, the squid ran out almost instantly

so, it depends, if you only flying for fun then any ship with good tech upgrade would work, but for a job interceptors are extremely great and have benefeits.

[latent rivet]

true. However I get tired of sentinel ships after awhile. Will most likely make a small hauler ship one day

I use my classic yellow one that I got.

Gets the job done even at A class.

definitely not any 4 lined supercharged slot sentinel ships or anything like that-

I’ll get one of those only if I find it myself. Otherwise I’m just color matching things…

[brave mica]

I want a cool looking hauler I keep looking for them, I've seen some in the anomaly but I can't find them anywhere, I think they might be from older versions and not available anymore

[latent rivet]

mayhaps

I mean some current haulers are cool, but they vary WILDLY in style.

[brave mica]

nope, not mayhaps

[latent rivet]

tbh I was unsure myself but if it is then it is lol

[brave mica]

I can't find an image in google, I need to see one again in the anomaly, they are gorgeous ship

[latent rivet]

give a vague description-

I’m actually in the Anomaly currently so maybe I can find one

[brave mica]

well, it's a hauler, but it's not looking almost anything like the current ones... I maybe need to go through nmsce maybe something is there

maybe it was a special one from some old expedition or something...

[latent rivet]

That’s what I’m starting to think tbh…

[brave mica]

yes found it

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Iron_Vulture

[latent rivet]

Yeap that sucker is an expedition ship

[brave mica]

it's from expedition 13

gorgeous ship

[latent rivet]

It is indeed very cool.

You can prob adjust the game to have access to that expedition-

[brave mica]

people got it for 1400 nanites goddamn

nah I'm not modding the game, but this is a very cool hauler

[latent rivet]

idk if it’d be called a mod, but it also prob could be, so maybe one day they’ll bring that expedition back.

depends on HG’s mood tho

[brave mica]

if they do, I'm after that one for sure, it's one of the best looking ships I've seen

[pearl salmon]

Can the Iron Vulture be traded in the same manner as other ships?

[latent rivet]

in pieces

[latent rivet]

btw if you make a ship do you get a choice of what color it comes out as?

[karmic sierra]

Hey guys i found a sentinel and i dunno If its common or not, so i thought about ahsre an imagem with other players, and If its worth it share the coords. Is this the right place

[latent rivet]

believe so

[bleak umbra]

Yes, you can also post it on the Reddit (/r/NMSCoordinateExchange) and/or the nmsce.com site.

[karmic sierra]

ok, but first and since im a relatively new interceptor hunter i wanna know if its worth sharing, because for me its kind of unique, but again, i havent seen that many

[graceful arrow]

my captain's quarters in my freighter

[merry fox]

When i was looking for sentinel ships on my main save id share them here anyways, I didn't like most of them but maybe someone else would.

[brave mica]

beautiful specimen, I have a red one with a different eye that’s my current ride but would love to find a black one too

they’re not quite the same but this variation reminds me the tank from ghost in the shell

[latent rivet]

It’s a walker! Unironically haven’t found a wingless sentinel ship like that. Indeed very unique

It looks like a tall tank, not gonna lie

[dreamy crypt]

Really good find. Glowing cockpit is kinda rare.

[bleak umbra]

Definitely share this one, it's a great find!

[craggy sun]

you can get the parts for the ship if u salavage Solar ships in that machine u can extract 1 part from each Solar ship. the core is sold by the starship mod merchant

[wicked solar]

Can u choose colors tho?

[craggy sun]

yes you can :3. when you make the ship you can pick the Color of the ship its trim and its solar sails

there are two color options that are expidition only tho but yes you can color the things :3

[wicked solar]

Oh 👀

[wicked solar]

What are the two? Better not be white or gold or purple lol

[craggy sun]

you saw the colors of the solar ship its that Color sceme its black and darker colors in general

you get white purple and gold on the basic colors that every 1 got

[wicked solar]

Ooooooooooo okay

[craggy sun]

you can Find more solar ships in pirate systems just go to a trading post dont land ur ship there land on the side of the place place a save point on the roof of the place save then reload restore point if u dont see the solar ships land there :3

it also works as way to find exotic ships like the squids or the balls

[wicked solar]

Yes! I found my first solar ship naturally in a pirate system.

[odd ermine]

I need help getting quicksilver but I can’t earn enough

I want the void egg

[brave mica]

400 a day, 1800 at weekends, you can do it, takes some time but that's the only way

[brave mica]

solars very common in systems with high confict level, iirc I've seen the most in korvax t2/t3 conflict levels

[craggy sun]

i see i mostly go to pirate systems

[brave mica]

also I got some quicksilver from a frigate mission but it was peanuts

[craggy sun]

that right there i did not know i will be keeping it in mind when i go hunting for more crafted solar ships :3. im looking for an empty square surrounded by Supercharged slots i share the ships with close supercharged slots so if others want em they can go there

[brave mica]

well, pirate systems are absolutely overflowing with solars but I've seen them elsewhere too, don't remember exactly which species but it was in high conflict systems for sure

[latent rivet]

they do show up outside of pirate systems, they’re just rare

[cinder folio]

3 ships found in underwater with the submarine 😉

The easiest way to make money

[brave mica]

exactly, however, iirc exocraft radar took some time to unlock while doing the distress signal is available from very early, also, for efficient underwater farming you definitely need aqua jets which also took for me some time to unlock. but yeah it's great finds. haulers and shuttles are so good for trading/scraping, and if you get a class it will also drop slots.

[cinder folio]

It takes some time to unlock them, but after that, you can make a profit extremely easily....

[merry fox]

The regular ships don't really scrap for all that much especially compared to sentinel ships, but in the case of abandoned mode where ship scrapping might be the best option for upgrade modules, then the regular ones might have more depending on type.

[vernal root]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for the Starborn Phoenix spaceship. Is there anyone who can trade it with me? Message me here without Discord.

[cinder folio]

On all the ships I find, one of 3 things happens:

1. I'll keep them if I like them
2. I destroy them and sell the parts, if I don't like it and I don't need them
3. I take them apart and build other ships the way I want.

[latent rivet]

breh I was gonna send a lead to a decently cool looking sentinel ship… instead Steam thought it’d be funny to auto-crop the bottom half of the image

I’ll get another one-

it doesn’t seem to want to… actually have the system glyphs to show when taking a screenshot. Why tf is that tied to the stupid menu?-

just gonna hafta ignore the menu...

[merry fox]

L shift does toggle the menu and glyphs, but the menu itself does go away after a few seconds of not moving the mouse/touching keys.

[latent rivet]

downside it also removes the glyphs which I wanted to keep so people could actually find the ship.

and the photo mode cuts off all that info anyways, so I have to Windows + Shift + S, which THEN opens the menu regardless of what I do (it is sensitive to movement)

[echo pendant]

Never seen that visor before

[latent rivet]

but yeah the ship itself is not very remarkable… but it IS a gateway to a base I have there (:

[echo pendant]

Wtf is your pfp

[latent rivet]

scuffed art I drew when I was heavily into analog horror.

[merry fox]

Odd, mine has been working like it should, I know there is some other settings that might need tweaking but have to open up the overlay menu for that.
L shift + tab might be it... Ive opened it by accident a few times.

[latent rivet]

i’unno. Tried some more tweaking and it’s a bit weird.

yeah the in-game photo mode cuts off the glyph overlay no matter what...

I'm prob missing something but it's not overly serious, just mildly annoying

[merry fox]

Yeah it shouldn't be cutting that off.
The regular photomode doesn't include the glyphs, but Steam overlay with F12 keeps them in.

[latent rivet]

Oh?

OH!

Okay’

That actually helps solve my problem

didn’t know Steam could do that.

[small adder]

Had no idea you could do this, I really need to read the fine print on these things I get.

I was afraid I might get attacked when I flew it into a Space station lol.

[latent rivet]

nah they’re just alternate starships

Really good ships too

[safe trout]

first living ship

it accidentally duped one of my void eggs so maybe i'll grab another (i am lying, i will not go through that hell of a quest ever again)

[noble ingot]

Hi! congrats on your new ship! you actually dont have to do the quest again! you only have to pulse into space and it will bring you to a new ship

[noble ingot]

i used to have a save that i found 2 different naturally spawned squids, i think that is rare, but it was deleted in the update that added fishing, i really miss that save i found both of them in the first 30 hours of it too :C

[noble ingot]

i can

[eternal eagle]

Exploring a tropical with my first living ship

[safe trout]

actually? i just need a egg and it'll summon a new one?

[iron spire]

You got a nice colour as a first one

[noble ingot]

YEP! and i can give u a few eggs if u want

[noble ingot]

we should make a paradise planet community

i have a spot

[safe trout]

bet i would appreciate that a lot

tryna collect as many different types of ship as i can

[noble ingot]

awesome

[safe trout]

me and my friend are actually starting a mini-paradise planet community as a subset of aurelius prime

[noble ingot]

ill send my friend code in dms

[noble ingot]

cool

i have one too

[eternal eagle]

Could be cool

[eternal eagle]

Yea i love its color

[brave mica]

yesterday funniest thing happened, I caught an exotic mid flight, followed it around for a while, what a terrible pilot, was running into mountains and other things

[frozen flicker]

I found this picture online but I haven’t started the hunt yet.

Very bad resolution.

[brave mica]

yeah that list ain't the best, this one has basically all the possible combinations, you can find either of them in every color variation: yellow, orange, white/grey, blue or red and with either gold or silver markings

[echo chasm]

First time I saw this color hammer head living ship

[brave mica]

beautiful

[echo chasm]

Rainbow color i guess.. but at night the color change into green and white

Red and gold living ship

[echo chasm]

Can anyone help me I need spawning sac

[frozen flicker]

Send living frigates on missions

[echo chasm]

@frozen flicker did that 50 times not a single drop

[frozen flicker]

Strange. I get 1-2 on every mission

I think I got spawning sac or pschonic egg on every single mission i sent

I have stacks of them

[fathom trout]

Spawning sacs have a weird spawning pattern I think, I am in the same boat, the I have several stacks of psychonic eggs, but only 1 stack of spawning sacs

[brave mica]

same, always the eggs never anything else

[brave mica]

this is ridiculous 🙂

the second one had different slots which made me wonder that I'm not maximizing my hunting efforts, I'm grabbing the first exotic I see but apparently the slots do change from ship to ship even if it's the same design, previously when I found the same ship twice it had the same exact slots just different modules, but now the slots are different too, so I guess if you get one you like you can keep searching for preferred slots layout

[latent rivet]

I actually need to get my second living frigate-

since a non-expedition living starship is somehow one of the most rare ships to see on the Anomaly.

[brave mica]

I thought you can only get one? I've been pulsing forever with the device in the inventory but never had the thing working again

[latent rivet]

I think if you have max frigates another one won’t spawn.

But I know you can have more than one.

[brave mica]

max i.e. 30? I don't have 30 for sure

[zenith bolt]

Yes with exotics, the slot amount and thus as a result, the cost can vary each spawn. Most people dont want to wait multiple spawns of an exotic though to get more inventory slots

[latent rivet]

Then idk, that’s weird…

Also don’t use the dream thing-

They show up using anomaly detectors from the first one onwards

after the dream aerial quest

so the second one is found by using one of the anomaly things you randomly get from asteroids

[brave mica]

oh that's why, I keep the dream aerial for no reason then, I'll try the anomaly things I have a lot of them

[latent rivet]

if you have a ship egg from the quicksilver you’ll be locked to doing that if its in your inventory so store that away before you go finding frigates

I learned my lesson the hard way…

That was a week of waiting.

[merry fox]

It can take a while but you should see a thing about "whalesong" when one is detected.

[brave mica]

nope I got already my living ship I don't have the egg

I thought about getting another egg and getting another ship with better slots layout but dunno, really enjoy my sentinel

[noble ingot]

wdym?

[latent rivet]

I don’t really see them often in the Anomaly

[zenith bolt]

Probably cause a lot of people dont like them. Personally, you couldnt pay me to take one.

[latent rivet]

that and it takes a literal real life week to get one-

[upper pewter]

i still want a living ship myself but i got really used to how interceptors handle so normal ships are too clunky for me now

need me that hover and fast turning

[merry fox]

Doesn't help that getting inventory space upgrades is more difficult for the living ships.

[latent rivet]

very annoying yes

[grim geyser]

and upgrades are a pain to get for them

[wicked solar]

I just sit and wait in a pirate system to buy cheap S class normal ships and scrap them for new slots for my squid

[wicked solar]

Oh damn why?

[grim geyser]

takes too long to get, upgrades are harder to get for them, and they look ugly to most people

[latent rivet]

less annoying but getting the one you WANT is a nightmare

[grim geyser]

the only good looking living ship IMO is the wraith, and it's expedition exclusive

[wicked solar]

Ah I see

[latent rivet]

idk I like normal living ships, it’s just I never model myself to represent them better

I am an autophage. I like my blocky and scrappy ships

[wicked solar]

Ah. I like my weird alien and smooth/lumpy ships so I fly a squid. That being said I really like the solar sailers too

[grim geyser]

i'm mainly a fan of the starborn runner/phoenix

[wicked solar]

What's that?

[grim geyser]

starborn runner is an expedition ship, starborn phoenix was available for free for a limited time on pc which is just a gold version of the starborn runner

[wicked solar]

Pictures?

[grim geyser]

idk if i can post any here yet, i'll post it in media

[brave mica]

didn't know you need a slot to install the figurines, and the trail color?

[wicked solar]

Oh alrighty!

Why not here?

[grim geyser]

i'm not high enough level yet i think

[brave mica]

very cool ship

[wicked solar]

Oh weird

[brave mica]

I see it all the time in the anomaly

[grim geyser]

only thing that could top it is if i could build my own dream sentinel ship

[brave mica]

yeah but I guess it would lose the magic of hunting, same for exotics

they come as they come and you need to look for one, forcing you to explore more, etc

[grim geyser]

i think it just makes sense at this point to let us custom build every normal ship type in the game now that corvettes are a thing, which would still be more customizable anyways

[iron spire]

The trail is gold anyway but I just put it there to fill the last slot so it wasnt empty but the figurines take up slots on any ship when you install them

[brave mica]

well you have plenty of options to build, but exotics/sentinels not exactly standard ships, so imo it makes sense to keep them "unique"

[merry fox]

Been told they feel weaker since living ships have been out for years, but haven't been changed much since unlike other ones.

[zenith bolt]

can you get x class upgrades for living ships yet?

[noble ingot]

nop

:C

cause it is living not hardware

[zenith bolt]

another reason they aint as good as regular ships then

[grim geyser]

true

[latent rivet]

I like the organization… but doesn’t having all S class upgrades surround the main weapon system/whatever system actually increase their effectiveness a little more than it normally would?

This is a question bc the difference is enough to think I’ve been gaslighting myself

[iron spire]

Grouping weapons of the same type and modules of the same type give a small boost and the figures also give a small boost if applied right

But I just went for pure hyperdrive range so built it around that

[latent rivet]

I mean like… you take the base weapon, and on each corner (up, down, left, right) you install your S upgrades-

Is that any different than taking the base weapon, and just forming a line of S upgrades tied to the weapon while still having the adjacent bonus?

[grim geyser]

i think as long as they're adjacent, you're good

[iron spire]

The most optimal is having as many touching each other as possible so a 2x2 square of the same upgrades would have every module touching 2 others its the same as sc slots.

[grim geyser]

they don't necessarily have to be surrounding each other

[latent rivet]

ah okay. So the way I learned is technically the most optimal but it technically wouldn’t matter unless you’re wanting to juice your build

[iron spire]

You will know the boost is applied when there is the outline around the effected modules

[latent rivet]

yes. for both examples this’d be true.

[iron spire]

Yeah it wont make too much difference the main thing is sc slots

[latent rivet]

Is it better for the base weapon or S upgrades to be in SC slot?

I always put main equipment in them that I wanna juice up

[iron spire]

Yes and sometimes the best upgrade is the craftable one

[latent rivet]

Infra-knife’s best upgrade is the B craftable one by 300 miles so yeah

[iron spire]

So on some weapons neutron cannon obviously multitool but putting the A class one you craft on a sc slot does more than the s class

[iron spire]

Yes exactly

So put that on sc slot and the closer your sc slots are together, the better bonus you will get when you group the same modules touching

2x2 cube is best possible

[latent rivet]

ah okay!

btw you know your infraknife build is good if the audio fails to work right

[iron spire]

Wdym audio

[latent rivet]

the audio of the gun firing

[iron spire]

Oh yeah

[latent rivet]

you’re shooting so many rounds that the audio overlaps and cuts off LOL

[iron spire]

😂

My audio is terrible anyway in this game theres some weird sound bugs

And ui

But its a huge game so have to accept it

[latent rivet]

I have some graphical bugs sometimes on my end, rather than audio.

[echo chasm]

Im i having a bad luck or spawning sac drop rate sucks... not a single drop again

[iron spire]

You should see some of the pet ones you can just fly through the planet

[iron spire]

I could give you some if you want

[echo chasm]

I need it badly bro 😫

[iron spire]

Send me your code Ill join

[echo chasm]

Hold on

How to check the code

[iron spire]

Main screen join game then at the bottom it says show code

[echo chasm]

Got it

[queen sandal]

is this really something possible to find?

[iron spire]

Yes the ball

[queen sandal]

i was looking on nmsce for a ball like ship w/ no schmutz

[iron spire]

AXS9-KT1X-1VWDY

Add mine

[split breach]

no, such a ship doesn't spawn in the wild

that's the result of save editing or modding

[queen sandal]

fibonacci you betrayed me

i will never utter your sequence again

[iron spire]

I sincerely apologise for nothing

[echo chasm]

It says already been added

[iron spire]

Go into your game

[echo chasm]

Im in

[iron spire]

Well there is one that spawns with that and a tiny wing and the landing gear

[iron spire]

Im coming

[echo chasm]

Ok

[queen sandal]

i tried to find one of those the other day, but gave up after a few reloads of first wave. closest one i have has a rear fin

[iron spire]

Come to the station

[iron spire]

Oh daym I saw that one earlier 😂

I wasnt even looking for it either

[queen sandal]

thats the best way to find em

[echo chasm]

On my way

[queen sandal]

then its a nice bonus instead of a grind

[iron spire]

Yeah I didnt take it tho

I have too many ships

[echo chasm]

Thank you bro

[iron spire]

Np enjoy

[latent rivet]

THE BALL!

[open iris]

That's how I've been hunting exotics after discovering my 2nd squid back in 2024. I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses that method, it's so much faster than reloading. I just got back into squid hunting after taking a break from hunting them over a year ago after discovering my 10th squid when Worlds Part II dropped. I just recently discovered my 11th and 12th only 109 LY apart in Isdoraijung in a yellow star cluster.

[west wave]

Are you finding them randomly or looking up what systems they are in? I’m new to exotic hunting and having fun. I’m a yellow guppy magnet

[grizzled copper]

Launched the game to keep making my way through the Atlas quest, noticed the tailfin, got my second exotic design!

[dim cradle]

I like the grey colour.

[grizzled copper]

Picture of it mid-flight. I screenshotted the system icons if anyone wants.

Goes nice next to my sports-car yellow one.

[noble ingot]

it does look like a sports car

F1 spaceracing

[queen sandal]

Anyone know a good system in which to construct iron vulture?

[open iris]

I'm finding them randomly. Exotic Ship hunting is one of my favorite things to do. I'm still on the hunt for a pink squid of my own. All 12 I've found so far are different shades of colors and the 11th is ruby red with a hint of pink. Of the "Pod/Ball" Exotics, my favorite is the variation with the V-wing, Clam tail, and the Royal fin/nose that I call "Royal Long-tailed Pterosaurs" and is the rarest variation of exotic for me. I've only found 5 of them versus at least 50-100+ of all the other variations.

[novel cipher]

Just found this after more then a day of c class versions, new find

[west wave]

Is there any specific systems that boost the chance for squids or just any pirate/3 star?

[craggy sun]

its mostly any system have its own exotic ship its the sphere's or the squids from what i know

1 or the other

[open iris]

From what I've read in the past, it's supposed to be random no matter the economy, but my first 11 Squid were in 2 star and my 12th in a 3 star. I go to all three economies and pirate systems in yellow star clusters and any other color star in those clusters. I don't bother with Abandoned systems since hunting for crashed exotics is too time-consuming. Once I finish a cluster, I either move on to the next or find another about 50k LY away. That's just the way I've been doing it.

[grizzled copper]

Yeah, found it on my first base world in first hour of game or so lol

[west wave]

Thanks for the info. Do you know if the economy lvl impacts odds of exotic spawns? I’ve seen mixed info on it.

[west wave]

Yea that’s what I thought

[bleak umbra]

Every system has one exotic ship design, and it's random so there's no way to determine whether it's a squid or not, unless it's previously been documented.

[queen sandal]

I don't know which one is my favorite

The white one was the first one i found

The tall white one that is

[west wave]

I like that blue royal

[west wave]

I’m trying to confirm that exotics do spawn more frequently in higher wealth systems. Like the standard S class ships do

I have read some mixed stuff on it

[noble carbon]

I like the small white one

And the one beside that tall white one in the front

[queen sandal]

The small white one has a gold rear fin

None of them have particularly good SC layouts

[latent rivet]

beetle moment (I posted in the wrong channel like a dumdum

[brave mica]

I discovered this by accident but this method got me like 10 exotics already including two squids, once I saw one that didn’t have space to land so I followed it for a bit, I already had that one so I didn’t need to catch it but it was a good way to see which exotic is in that system.
I also use this as a “break” from multitool hunting, after every stack of maps I go to the trade center looking for a ship then get back to the multitools, very fun way to look for ships

[queen sandal]

Just used that method for the first time

I think that's how I'm gonna try from now on when I'm hunting

[brave mica]

it's the same chances as any other method but it just refreshes the waves so much faster

I actually have a theory that if you spend more time exploring the planet the chances of getting one goes higher, like, if I go "cold" into a trade center on a new planet I rarely see any, but if I do the minor settlements for a while, scan some fauna, then come to the trade center I almost always get in like 3-10 waves, obviously hard to prove but I did get a lot of them like this

[wicked solar]

Hell yeah got my first sentinel ship

It's kinda ugly ngl

[zenith bolt]

According to game files its a flat spawn rate

[west wave]

Tyvm

[zenith bolt]

Exotic spawn type is also totally random, ive found and documented over 600 exotics, and found more ive not documented. Ive even looked in every system in a cluster and found the exotic to see if there was a pattern. The closest ive seen 2 squids was 16 ly apart, ive tried the same with other squids and not found any nearby. It totally is random.

[zenith bolt]

Yer thats the key, me and a friend used to hunt exotics, there are a couple other methods as well that refreshes waves up.

There also used to be a way to get a guarenteed spawn also, but as far as im aware only works on Steam version now.

We also used to have a competion between us on who could find the most exotics that day 😃

[zenith bolt]

Has no effect in my time hunting them. Planetary exotics seem to be random spawn. Station exotics seemed to be in a sequence at least before stations were updated, hence why some stations had 1st wave exotics. Couldnt say today as stopped doing stations, when like you, you find an easier method of finding them all.

[zenith bolt]

The confusion, especially from youtubers comes from the fact that its an S Class ship, so people, especially Youtubers assume that it must follow the spawn rules of s class ships. However the exotic ship type has different spawn rules as far as i can see than non exotic legacy ships

[west wave]

Yea I saw different info on YouTube and also the google ai would say different based on wording. It just pulls from vids and reddit though.

[zenith bolt]

My collection on my exotic save.

1 of each colour guppy and royal with gold trim

[brave mica]

yeah that's why I said "theory", so, I spend time hunting multitools, sentinels and exotics, so I now go into T2 economy systems a lot, however if there's no a class cabinet in the space station I don't stick around, I just grab stuff from the guild envoy and move on, if I do see a class cabinet I dig in and start reloading planets and doing some hunting.
so I noticed that for the systems I don't do the multitool hunt I almost never get one, even if I do 50 waves, but if I do search for the multitool and just jump on a trade center to take a break I almost always get exotic from it within 10 waves max, usually 3-5 waves. it's probably luck, but it is something that happens often

There also used to be a way to get a guarenteed spawn also, but as far as im aware only works on Steam version now.
would love to hear about it, I'm on steam and would test it, I don't intend to use it all the time I actually enjoy hunting for them but in a rare occasion just to check which one is in the system would love to have the option

[brave mica]

the bubbles are so cute, I actually loved the single engine with the tail the most, I want to find all of them in all colors, I only have the red with the tail

[zenith bolt]

You not heard of the freighter battle way? Only time ive found to guarentee a spawn.

[brave mica]

nope, didn't hear about it

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> **Farming Exotic Ships through Freighter Battles** <:exotic:936061996560969788>

-# An exotic spawn via these methods is NOT guaranteed on most platforms. It's only been confirmed to work on Steam. Feel free to test it and report back in this thread or via #contact-us.

Initial Setup

-# Freighter Battle Requirement: You must have played 3 hours (cumulative), and have done 5 ship warps since the last battle.

Before the battle requirement is met, always exit your ship to update the restore point save slot before ship warping out to another system. Once the requirement is met, continue as follows:

• If using glyphs, reach the target galaxy and portal to your desired system. Then warp out to a nearby uncharted system, drop and claim a base computer.
  • -# The step above ensures that when the battle triggers in some random system, you can always: 1) reload restore point, 2) teleport to claimed base computer, 3) exit ship once more to update restore point and 4) ship warp out to your target glyphs system nearby.
• A freighter battle should trigger, and you will fly towards the capital ship. Upon getting close to the freighter, the game informs you how many hostile pirates are present. See example »
  • With 5 pirates, proceed to battle.
  • With 8, the exotic may not spawn, so it is recommended that you try a different system.
• You may reload the restore point to search for different exotic designs through many systems, until you find a system that only has 5 pirates and the exotic design you want.
• Once you decide that you want to get the current system's exotic, try either method below.

Method 1

Rescue the NPC freighter and dock with it. You should see the ships heading towards it as well, and the exotic will land shortly thereafter. You can reload restore point and re-warp back into the same system and redo the battle to respawn / re-roll the exotic's stats.

Method 2

-# ⚠️ Use this method only if you're certain you'll have enough units to get the ship, as the exiting ship in the space station will overwrite the restore point save slot, removing the ability to reload to the previous system and redo the battle if you need to for some reason. Exotics go for about 40M units.

• Toggle through the friendly ships to find which one is the exotic. As in you must visually identify it as seen in this example.
• Kill the pirate the exotic is focused on. Kill each pirate the exotic is focused on. If the exotic doesn't go after another pirate, follow it to the space station.
• Once the exotic is close to the station, land in the station. The exotic may fly a couple rounds around the station. Then whenever the exotic flies in, buy it.

[zenith bolt]

Basically during freighter battles with 5 enemy ships, an exotic is guarenteed to spawn to help you fight. After the fight it docks. You used to be able to reload game to pre jump and swap system if it wasnt one you liked

Obviously the downside is that it only happens every 3 or so hours

[brave mica]

hmmm, not going to use it unless it presents itself, but good to know

[zenith bolt]

I used to keep a save just on perminant freighter battle, to help people get exotics who had been trying to get one

[brave mica]

maybe I'll try it once just to have it in the arsenal, setup a base in a system next to it

[zenith bolt]

Thats fastest way ive found, of finding one

Exotic every 5 min

Usually you can see it flying around before it docks, like you do with trade centre

[west wave]

What method is that?

[zenith bolt]

#nms-legacy-ships message or see post above it

A similar method to the moving away then to trade outpost, was to use freighter, pulse in space for a few seconds, then stop pulse. Npcs spawn, check ships, pulse again if no exotic.

Ships then land in freighter if enough open spots on freighter

Doing same thing, speeding up wave spawns

[brave mica]

I've discovered it by accident when I had triple archive popup, two of them were far enough so that when I hovered over one of them the second one would dissapear, so when I went back and forth between them I noticed that the ships were regenerating, so I tried it with the trade center and it was same thing.
with freighter I get way less ships coming to dock, some planets also have very little ships coming, I usually find the one with 7-9 ships coming in a wave.

on my freighter usually I'd have one more ship docking max, but I noticed that even on trade centers they don't fill the pads, there's always a space for me and one extra ship, so it's 4-5 out of 7 docking max

so yeah, same amount of pads everywhere but the waves are not the same everywhere, some planets have bigger waves, some smaller, freighter has like 3 ships coming max that I've seen

[zenith bolt]

It used to be that if you landed on side not on a pad, an extra one would land at outpost, not sure if still true

[brave mica]

nope, I tried that many times, even if I went to the trade spot manually I've never seen more than 5 ships land, and it has 7 pads, 2x3x2

[zenith bolt]

Ive seen 9 before now

[brave mica]

yeah, 9 coming in, only 5 land

[zenith bolt]

I should maybe reinstall nms, after reinstalling windows

no ive seen 9 land

[brave mica]

on 7 pads?

[zenith bolt]

on 9 pads at trade outpost

or maybe im mistaken

3 + 2+2 is it at trade outpost or 3+3+3?

[brave mica]

3+2+2, 2 on sides, 3 center

there's no outpost I've seen with 9 pads

[zenith bolt]

hmm 7 pads then filled

for some reason i was remembering 3+3+3

[orchid schooner]

Found this beauty today, not expected and I usually prefer the hammerhead types as they are a bit larger, but the color scheme of this one is really...clean & ethereal, I have to say.

[brave mica]

nice slots setup, I got all scattered with mine, I need to look for another one

[zenith bolt]

to be fair I probably have seen 9 land when they used to bug out back in the day and not take off and land on each other 😆

[orchid schooner]

Yeh I was in the same situation with my previous one, though that one had a significantly higher base damage. But with these slots the ceiling here is a lot higher so I can't complain

And it also looks a lot better than my prev one, so yeah. Big win today

[zenith bolt]

just reinstalled nms, not played since Garbage truck expedition

[dreamy crypt]

Not much changed since then

[brave mica]

beautiful orange bubble with the opening tail and gold markings

[zenith bolt]

That didnt take long, to find 1st exotic after reinstall😆 , Blue Royal Exotic, with side engines, Clamshell engine and gold trim

Red Royal Exotic with Clamshell engine and V wings, gold trim

White Royal Exotic with single engine and V wing, gold trim - Purple star system, so need to have purple systems unlocked

[brave mica]

speedrun 🙂

[zenith bolt]

Rasa Fighter - Purple Star system

[latent rivet]

Since nobody responded:

I wanna see it! Eventually I wanna become a sentinel ship appraiser (literally just to do it rather than it being serious).

I helped my friend get his first sentinel multitool and ship too, despite the ship being a simple C class

[latent rivet]

you collecting those specific cockpits?

[zenith bolt]

no but people used to like them, so I post them

[latent rivet]

Ah okay!

[zenith bolt]

I post ships I think are interesting, even fighters etc, people can always get for parts then also if they see something they are after

[latent rivet]

That’s cool then!

[zenith bolt]

if i name them eg Rasa, its easier for people then to search for posts with Rasa cockpit then, using the search bar

or if they are looking for a fighter in general, or exotic, thats why a put a description when i post

[brave mica]

I'm collecting parts for hotrod fighter, can't find the wings I want, I used to see them a lot but now can't get any, it's a conspiracy!

[brave mica]

nope, not those, seen those a lot but not the ones I'm after

[brave mica]

I'm looking for those, can't find any, been in at least 20 vykeen, 20 gek and 10 korvax systems and can't find those

[golden pivot]

https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/warframe-landing-crafts.jpg

Any ships that look like these ?

[zenith bolt]

that one babi?

[brave mica]

yep that's the one

I wanna build one with triple engine and those wings

[zenith bolt]

not really, wraith maybe looks a little like middle top, no reason cant try to build a corvette similar to one of the others

[brave mica]

@zenith bolt I'm telling you, spending time on the planet increases the chances goddamn, literally the first post I've been to after a stack of maps looking for tools, I landed to see if I can buy maps and it's already there waiting for me

[zenith bolt]

not really, all the ones i found today arrived within 5 min, at space station, not even been to planet, just entered system, docked at freighter, scanned system, gone to space station and checked Mts and they arrive when at station checking

[brave mica]

and it's the small tail like I wanted

but silver markings... the search continues

[zenith bolt]

yer, i spent weeks, maybe at least a month, looking for a specific colour/combination of parts for one exotic, thats when i decided to check every exotic in a cluster of systems

was a yellow "bubble" Guppy, with small winglets, single engine and gold trim

[latent rivet]

this dark yellow one-

I actually kinda want…

would fit my color scheme perfectly

[zenith bolt]

that was me searching for it, all circles is visited systems

[zenith bolt]

all are in Euclid galaxy

[brave mica]

you look in abandoned too?

my galaxy map is 80% abandoned systems, I don't go in there, I get zero ships there

[zenith bolt]

they only spawn in abandoned during freighter battle

[open iris]

I only play the Steam version and first wave exotics can still be found today. My 5th squid will always spawn as one of the first 4 ships to land. My 10th squid will never be the first 4 ships, but will eventually land as the fifth or last of the first full wave that spawns to orbit the station. That wave is a bit broken. If my last save point is in space when I exit out of NMS, when I start up NMS and load the save, the squid will never spawn. I have to at least enter a planet's atmosphere, then fly back to the space station, create restore point and reload and the squid will always appear again with each reload.

[zenith bolt]

cool, i stopped finding 1st waves after HG changed something in a patch and made my 1st waves, no longer 1st waves, we are talking 3 or 4 years ago, might be longer

but when I can find ANY exotic in less than 5 min, I m not too bothered about 1st waves

[latent rivet]

I really haven’t bothered to do exotic ship hunting…

too many other things to do in this game LOL

[open iris]

My 11th squid is also a very broken first wave. When all ships start spawning in, they may and may not land in the space station at all and continue orbiting around the space station since they orbit too far away from the entrance. Two squid will always spawn in each reload, but it usually takes a few reloads to get one or both to land.

[zenith bolt]

hehe the only reason I got into it big time, was cause when HG broke my 1st waves, I waited 3 hrs for one of my ex 1st waves to come, and it didnt come. Took my friend an hour using freighter pulse method, that usually takes 20min max. We then started looking at ways of making it appear faster and looking at techniques to make it spawn faster. Thats how I got into it, turned into an obsession. Now I seen that many, I dont look for them, unless someone needs help with finding one

[latent rivet]

That’s fair, that’s fair.

Tbh I’m gonna start documenting various sentinel ships so in a way I am ship collecting myself-

[zenith bolt]

Thats why I post ships here, that I find interesting, I can come back 6 months or 5 years later and look through my ships, and go get any I want. Sometimes others might like them too

all you have to do is use search bar, and put filtered by your name, with image in this channel and will come up with all your posts in this channel. I add fighter etc, so I can also search for specific colours/ship types

for example putting "from: stobbsy1 in: nms-legacy-ships has: image red exotic" in search bar will fetch up all the red exotics Ive posted

unless you are on mobile phone and then its slightly different

[queen sandal]

I built one but and tried to trade it to an npc and then hire them as a squadron pilot, which i did successfully with a sentinel ship. But mf just flew away with his new s class before i could recruit 😔

[zenith bolt]

can you do it with fabricated? since its not a proper seeded ship?

it being squadron pilot

i stopped getting squadron pilots once i got fedup of them of them getting in my way of pew pew

cause i dont think you can trade fabricated ships to ther players either for same reason

[latent rivet]

I never got to hire squadron pilots bc it always said it was full.

[merry fox]

I have an old discord server i used to have for a different game that I just use as a personal collection point for the ships I find.

Used to also put them on here but started playing abandoned mode and wasn't sure if they all showed up in normal...

[zenith bolt]

only way is to test it........For Science!!!!

[merry fox]

I did test a couple with my main save and they showed up but might be hit or miss if any are uncharted on normal.

[latent rivet]

I play normal on this save so

[open iris]

I'll have to try your way of farming exotics with freighter battles. From what I've noticed while hunting exotics, each system no matter the economy, each have their own different spawn rates. One system they can spawn as early as every 5-10 minutes on planets and another it can take 3 hours before one spawns each time. One of the squid I found, I had to fly back and forth at a trading post for 9 hours to get it to land the third time it spawned. That was tedious.

[zenith bolt]

yer i dont use that anymore, still guarenteed exotic with 5 ship spawn, but i stopped using it when dreadnought freighters were released as they dont spawn in those battles.

[latent rivet]

If you have a normal save you can find any of mine.

I’ll try to jankily send screenshots of the glyphs as well, so

but I do not put save beacons down as I do not take time to find S class versions (I’m lazy and that grind is a little tedious)

instead I record any weird or over-the-top ships I find.

I may expand into normal ships that I think look cool or funny, and exotics as well.

I sent the beetle one without glyphs but I’m saved on that planet rn so

[zenith bolt]

post what you do or do not want.

[merry fox]

I normally just find one sentinel ship in a system to see what they look like, only times I note the coords on a planet is if they are A, S, or B with 2 SC slots together already.

[open iris]

It would be nice if HG could make some kind of distress signal chart specifically for crashed exotics like the Carrier AI Fragment for sentinel interceptors, even if they added them to the quicksilver vendor in the Anomaly. That would make a great 10 year anniversary gift.

[latent rivet]

I’ll mostly be more dedicated to #expedition-logs tbh… bc I have been a roleplayer for like… 6 years?

Not the cringe ones but ones meant to tell stories and such.

btw srry for the lapse, I’m workin’ and it got spontaneously busy LOL

[open iris]

No worries about the lapse as I'm currently getting ready to spring clean the yard all day.

[latent rivet]

that is objectively worse than my job LOL

[merry fox]

Need to do that too.
Im usually on NMS in the evenings and just put in some time, tonight though I may just plop down a base on a decent looking planet i found then go back to a different galaxy, Calypso just seems to be acting strange on the ship finding side and I'm not liking it.

[latent rivet]

Calypso is barren for ships, I’ve noticed.

It’s overall very… weird.

[orchid schooner]

Interceptor hunting is rough

[merry fox]

Purple systems not having dissonant planets, other systems having a dissonant planet but no tag, that one needing to do shenanigans to claim a ship, didn't have issues in Elucid...

[crisp owl]

Class hunting or ship hunting?

Cuz I'll do it with you if you want

[autumn iris]

It's just buggy like that due to increased aggressive sentinels, which in some cases creates new dissonant worlds that the game didn't intend for and in other cases overwrites existing dissonant worlds

[orchid schooner]

Ship hunting for now, not coming across a model I like but I‘ll take a break for a bit

[crisp owl]

Well lmk if you start looking again cuz I'll help

[brave mica]

yeah it can be tedious, however, you can farm plenty nanites, units or other things in the process

• farm as much inverted mirrors, radiant shards and unused brains as you can, all of them convert into nanites in the refiner, when you traveling from your warp point to the dissonant planet open the inventory and throw stuff into the refiner, easy nanites farming!
• if you get a decently priced c class (~30M or higher) or b class and up, take it, drive to the monolith by exocraft and farm as much as you can on the way, this will both be a break and great farming
• if you are not in abandoned system go check out the trade spots for ships and minor settlements for multitools, finding nice stuff in the middle of sentinel hunt is great relief
• invest in scanner modules, scan fauna, without food I get 600k for rare fauna and dissonant planets usually have lots of them. usually I leave a planet with 2-3M units just from scanning few animals, I'm still checking every module I can in space stations to see if I can find a better bonus module and use at least 2 sc slots just for the best bonus modules.
• finally, if you absolutely don't like the design don't even get out from your ship, just move on to the next system!

[wicked solar]

Oooooo okay! I'll try to remember later when I hop on. And thanks!

Do u have any yet?

[brave mica]

is there a benefit to give squadron sentinel ships?

I've built a squadron from s class pilots but it's trash anyways, zero damage always

[split breach]

nope, squadrons are next to purely visual

give them the ships you want to see fly alongside you

[brave mica]

couldn't care less tbh haha but it's two fighters and two explorers

[queen sandal]

Just thought they looked cool

[brave mica]

ah, but you could technically fabricate c class for them

don't think it matters, they are literally useless

[queen sandal]

Yeah it was a waste of nanites

Found this guy, i have nearly an identical ship but with a single thruster

One single one double

[latent rivet]

welcome to Calypso.

I loved it SOLELY because it felt like a constant fakeout full of weird things

[queen sandal]

The other one

[brave mica]

is the millennium falcon style ship from some expedition as well?

[split breach]

yes, Boundary Herald from the Cursed expedition

[queen surge]

I joined this server about an hour ago to find out how I can find rare sentinel ships and... I found this one 5min ago. Also here are symbols if someone would want this one

It's not a great unique piece, but it's quite nice in my opinion

[brave mica]

very nice black tank with a hat

[queen surge]

thanks

[latent rivet]

Its kinda neat, reminds me of a mantis almost.

[crisp owl]

I can see that

[wicked solar]

i need the middles green

they should do an update that lets us build small ships like corvettes, but much smaller parts

[wicked solar]

damn beautiful

@latent rivet

[latent rivet]

So many engines

[queen sandal]

I built a base with a landing pad near the trading Post that I wanted to farm for its exotic. Figuring I wasn't going to find it in my first session. As soon as I finish building the landing pad, I look up, and the exotic is sitting at the trading Post

[mighty cedar]

GUPPY MY LOVE

[wicked solar]

fr

another exotic found me

[hazy hamlet]

My Favorite so far

[versed bluff]

Where do you find that ship?

What’s the coordinates?

[wicked solar]

Oh that's gorgeous

[delicate zinc]

That really looks amazing. i have been looking for an xwing that doenst look clunky for a while now

[latent rivet]

it looks light and nimble

for whoever wants lime green

[queen sandal]

I just found a green one too

[latent rivet]

yours is much cooler lul

I haven't found a bright lime green one until today so it was a bit of a neat find, despite only being a C class-

[wicked solar]

Oooooooo show better angles?

[latent rivet]

I’d have to find the planet again… luckily I have the glyphs if you wanna get it for yourself

[zenith bolt]

What colour is that? Hard to tell with the red sky.

[dreamy crypt]

Orange imo

[brave mica]

finally found the wings I was looking for, got a pretty good slots setup, not the best, not the worst, gonna setup this properly and try it for a while

[crisp vector]

taken a snap of it cuz it looks cute 🤣

[heady gorge]

Wait a minute, what? That might be my ship. Could you please DM me some top-down pics?

[vernal flume]

tiny sentinal snail

[crisp vector]

Ill name the ship snail in honor of you ❤️

[vernal flume]

thanks ❤️

[brave mica]

nope. back to my sweet interceptor.

[heady gorge]

Nope. Not mine. But close enough

[orchid schooner]

Hmm not sure how I feel about this one...if it had the four additional boosters on the Wings, it'd prob be irresitable for me but this way I'm not quite sure

[brave mica]

well hello there

[orchid schooner]

I found a sexy tank today but it's red and was only c-class, I'll need to get back to it and take some pics.

I'm sure someone will fall in love with it.

[lost lodge]

wtf 😭 flying feels smooth as butter now 🥹

[umbral pelican]

found an A class sentinel freighter, didn't take a screenshot of the coords tho

[brave mica]

cool ship, that slot setup tho 👀

[terse lily]

Thanks! I usually only post good slot things, just incase the min maxers wanna grab it aswell as those looking for cool looking ships.

[brave mica]

was it native s class or upgraded?

[terse lily]

Upgraded from C. I've only ever seen one natural S class with good slots lol and that was a 3×1

[brave mica]

I've got way over 5 that had 3+1, but I'm after this white tank and so far none of the a class had anything better than 2+1+1, I might start trying all the b classes, never got a 4 adjacent slots, that would've been great to put pulse drive and hyperdrive clusters there

I really want it but no way I'm settling for 2+1+1

[terse lily]

Yeah, don't settle. You'll find a banger I promise

[terse lily]

I don't even settle for 3+1 anymore, purely because I find square slots or T slots on a regular basis now

If you upgrade a sentinel from a C class to a B class and look at the slot it gives you, if it doesn't give 2 slots next to each other, go to A, and if still it doesn't, then move on. There is no square or T there.

[brave mica]

I don't think I have an option... all the a classes had 2+1+1, all the b classes I've seen already have two scattered too far away to be 4, I'm still looking, setup a base but I'm starting to think there's no good option here...

this is the closest I got to a potential of 3+1 or 4, gonna teleport to the space station see if anything comes from it

better than the a class I got but still, not good enough

so close though...

[deep mesa]

Yall got some coords for S-Rank damaged ships in Euclid

[terse lily]

Ah so close!

[terse lily]

You don't want a natural S class if I'm honest. It probably won't be as good as an upgraded one

IF you get one with good slots

[deep mesa]

I mean upgrading one takes... a lot, to say the least

[terse lily]

Nah, it's free!

All you gotta do is change the cost to free in your options

[deep mesa]

h u h

[terse lily]

It doesn't affect anything negatively either

[flat marsh]

does someone know if you build your own Iron Vulture if you can get favorable slots, by traveling to good stations? i've only just thought i have not started that quest.

[terse lily]

Yep, you can indeed

I got a T slot iron vulture because of where I built it

[flat marsh]

heh i am so used to make due with the slots given, I wouldn't know what I wanted

[brave mica]

wait what? you can build iron vulture? the hauler?

[terse lily]

Yep, you just need someone to give you the parts

[terse lily]

T is best, followed by square L and Z shape

[flat marsh]

yeah I don't know much about it, other than getting parts the cockpit from a user that scraped one - or many

[terse lily]

I can give you the parts np

[flat marsh]

i have it unlocked i just never took it apart

my best 'reimagined' pillar has 2 + 2 not far from each other

[terse lily]

That's not too bad tbf

You could go half attack half manoeuvrability

yeah, its not so far that i can put three connecting a expanded Z shape and still use one for the pulse drive - doing the count modules - install tricks i got 3 near 20% and only SC the main

just dawned on me that, since I am running old Expeds on PC - i could copy and strip several IV for my own use rather easy

hell, i could become a IV printer! if I was inclined

i love the value (INV slots) the hardframes give I wish I found the one I liked the looks of better. E isn't bad. I think I want the "down pointing" Hardframe vector wings?

[brave mica]

welp, I finally got a 3+1, so I'm saving this ship for sure, gonna hangout for a bit more see if I can find the s class or maybe 4 slots, I also peeped the exotic here and it's a red top and bottom fins so I'ma look for that one too

[wicked solar]

Oh heck yeah. Will I get more supercharged slots if I upgrade my ship to s tier?

[brave mica]

of course, every s class get 4 slots

but if you care about the slots layouts, adjacent slots get extra bonuses, you can get higher damage, shield, engine, hyperdrive range, whichever you choose to boost more

[wicked solar]

I did NOT know adjacent slots got bonuses

[orchid schooner]

Man its probs been 50 Interceptors for me today and only 3 designs I kind of liked, let‘s not even get started with SC-Slots…

[marble trout]

I don't understand the obsession with sentinel ships

I think they're all fugly

I got one just to add to the collection, but it sits in the hangar and i've never done anything with it

[brave mica]

have you seen shuttles?

[marble trout]

shuttles are fugly too

I like my solar and exotics

Also not a fan of corvettes

[brave mica]

love exotics too, beautiful ships

[orchid schooner]

For me its about at least having one cool ship of each class I like, which would be in no particular order:

Fighters, Haulers, Exotic, Living Ship, Solar and Sentinels.

Sentinels and LS especially can be hit or miss, but if its one of the former, then it‘ll def be among my fav ships

[marble trout]

Solar is my main

I have one of each class

just for the sake of it

[merry fox]

One I found is actually pretty nice looking, otherwise only 1 or 2 others id actually use just based on looks.

[marble trout]

Still need to add a squid to the collection mind you. In the years i've been playing this (2019?) I have never yet found a squid through natural exploration, and i've jumped through multiple galaxies

[orchid schooner]

For exotics I only like waffle cone guppies or V-Wings with a clamshell but not the royal variant.

Squids are okayish but I‘d never fly one myself tbh, still saved a creme one I found to someday get.

[merry fox]

I haven't looked very hard for exotics in general.

The main sentinel one i use.

[orchid schooner]

Found one very similar to this today, but for the Sentis I really tend to like the X-Wing variants; haven‘t found a white one yet though…in fact among the like 50 Senti designs I‘ve scouted yesterday eve and today I only found one full white Senti

[wicked solar]

oooooooo

[merry fox]

Of any with things that stick forward of the cockpit, this would be the only one of those id use just due to its color pattern.

[wicked solar]

literally the one ive been searching for 💀

[merry fox]

Almost looks like a fighter from the air except for the black wings.

[orchid schooner]

I think the one white I found was similar to this but I try to avoid the top fin

[merry fox]

Should be easy to get to the planet, Elucid and not a purple system.

[wicked solar]

Unless I'm thousand of light years away

#nms-legacy-ships message

Here's the one I use rn. I'll have to take better pictures

[orchid schooner]

I saw this one in a post online no doubt that'd be my fav if I ever came across one myself

tho i usually tend to pref x-wings, this one's just perfect

[merry fox]

You can save the screenshot for later, portal glyphs are in the bottom corner.
My black one i saved the portal code for but its a purple system in galaxy 10.
Had been playing a month and by time I took those screenshots I was in a different system.
All the sentinel ones I found before that were ugly so I didn't keep track of them.

[wicked solar]

Yeah I've been searching but all the others I've found were kinda ugly. I'll keep that in mind thanks! I do want to find it naturally but also.........

[wicked drift]

My main is a living ship I named Craig

[brave mica]

one of the first ones I've documented was almost exactly like this but with different colors and extra thingy on the wings

love it

[wicked solar]

Lemme seeee

[wicked solar]

I should've documented mine but I didn't

[hardy reef]

I still trying to get the last part for my living ship ):

[wicked solar]

Ok, should I continue the main quest now?

[wicked drift]

I’m away from my pc rn

[wicked solar]

I love geks so much

[orchid schooner]

Oh lol I forgot Interceptor SC-Slots are based on crash site lmao; well that doesn't change much about me not finding a super exciting design yet, but it still is a relief

Alrighty, I‘ll do one more system than settle on one of the few decent ones I‘ve scouted.

No forcing from my side, will jump to Hilbert soon and then want to take everything slowly and mindfully over there.

[flat marsh]

i hunted two from the same planet and they didn't match SC but the style was the same

i ground up the C class and kept the B class for the time being. I had to get back to the exped i am running

i wanted to be able to hover, so I found me a interceptor

its orange AND Yellow

my content doesn't look like its on my phone i'll show it in here later

there is the twotoned I found

i posted it yesterday in NMS

[hazy hamlet]

@zenith bolt light tan with green/red accents

[deep mesa]

@latent rivet

from the front it looks cool

from behind it looks like if someone sticked wings to a car

full pics

[latent rivet]

yo that style is very very unique what-

I’ve seen similar styles but not like that. It makes it kinda look like the hull of a tank with small wings.

[deep mesa]

Yeah true, and the black/blue combo is lowk great

In case i can also link the coords for it

The ones in the pic is close to the system where it is but not quite on it

[orchid schooner]

I found so many of these todays…this butt or them being orange, or pretty much any color other than black/white/red/mint are the largest turnoffs to me

[merry fox]

Fight pirates and get groceries all in one trip.
