[latent rivet]

but I also wanna find it myself!

[tacit drift]

Anyone have a somewhat interesting way to find squid ships? (Besides waiting for them or just going to coords)

[latent rivet]

there isn’t much of a fast way to find them

it’s the same as exotics… but somehow worse because they seem to be rarer

[tacit drift]

Do you know if the freighter exotic ship farm will work?

[fickle flax]

Veryyy cool

[latent rivet]

Since the two are obtainable in the same ways I would guess so, but don’t hold me accountable-

[latent rivet]

I was so torn on this but sadly I decided against it… I’m actually looking for tank ships mostly because I like their… oddly elongated and blocky frame.

[fickle flax]

I might actually have some

[latent rivet]

I am working on my white tank ships currently and plan to replace the yellow one with that, and scrap it.

[fickle flax]

Yea all of mine are like orange

I think I have a almost all black one

[latent rivet]

aw man…

[fickle flax]

But then again it’s got this yellow to it

I’ll take some pic in a little

[latent rivet]

If its a beige I’ll gladly take that off your hands LOL

[fickle flax]

Not sure if Ik what that is

To be honest

[latent rivet]

beige is a… faded yellow-ish color

It’s not the vibrant highlighter yellow

[fickle flax]

Let me see

[latent rivet]

In all seriousness, if you do need someone to look for specifics in sentinel ships, I’m doing a giant ship grind for a good while so I can fit out my fleet with toys that I can work on.

So I’ll gladly either post coords or just store it and try my best to trade it with you.

[fickle flax]

Ew yuck the one I had is highlight yellow

I wanna burn it

[latent rivet]

ew I’m good LOL

albeit with the black it’d prob be pretty good

my main ship rn is just solid highlighter yellow and it’s jarring…

But I have a solid white tank ship I’m working on and a light blue ship that is sitting in storage

not to mention a fighter and a shuttle waiting for some care

Got a good bit on my plate, but by all means shoot me a ping and I’ll try to find you sum’n.

[fickle flax]

This one is the one I currently use

For everyday travel

[latent rivet]

ornage

I just skip orange ones

[fickle flax]

Yea I thought it was really cool only thing that would make it better it it was red and black

[latent rivet]

but thas a personal choice on my end.

It’s not too shabby.

If you like the orangeboys, I don’t blame ya

[fickle flax]

These are just other ones I’m trying to get rid off

I’m not even sure why I took them

If you know or find anyone that would want them just let me know

[dense spruce]

This is easily the best looking ship I have found.

[zenith bolt]

Should do, afaik it works on steam, not on ps platforms. Other platforms 🤷‍♂️ as i dont have any other platforms to test on.

Just to note, each system with a station has 1 exotic design. So if a system has the ball kind, it will never spawn a squid.

Squids are in around 1 in 20ish systems, so you might need to search for a bit, especially taking into consideration that it doesnt work with systems that spawn dreadnought battles, or regular freighter battles with 8 or more enemy ships. You can usually tell which it is when you warp in. The ones you want, the enemy ships are in group of 1, the ones you dont want are in pairs.

[orchid schooner]

I have a very similar pure red one I‘ll get to sharing soon

[proven narwhal]

Anyone got squid ship portal coordinates for Euclid

[zenith bolt]

Any specific colour?

[proven narwhal]

Thank you

[dark timber]

Would you say it's worth to visit a ton of dissonants to find yourself a really cool looking interceptor than just looking up a location? I kinda want the achievement of finding my own black and red tats sleek and not too bulky. Cause mine kinda is. Wish there was a filter for dissonant, my first one is decent with the looks and also SC slots random lucky find, but I want one really pretty one. How long did you guys hunt for the perfect planet you then rerolled till there was a good one?

[grand tinsel]

For me it is definitely worth it, I like finding my own ships. But you may not have the time or the same feeling as me - it's really up to you

[dreamy crypt]

I think "strong" colors look best on squid. Like the red or orange one.

[dense spruce]

I have found a few nice ones and only a few ugly ones. It depends how specific your wishlist is. I like a simple clean looking orange white and black one, a blue and black one with the swing wings and today I found a gorgeous all red swing wing (see above). I have only been looking for interceptors in the last couple of weeks. For me I don't farm anything with obstructed vision in first person so I have seen quite a few pretty good looking ships that I found one and moved on. When I find a ship I like I farm it until I find one with good supercharge slots.

[wicked solar]

Got mine naturally (all of em actually, all 15. But I only fly my two favorite).

This is my main rn. I am thinking of using coords to find one I've really been looking for, but may or may not keep it (I also don't have glyphs unlocked yet)

[zenith bolt]

For me, i like finding my own ships, but if i see something cool that someone has posted, ive no problem going and picking it up. When you look for them, i might find loads of meh ones, so when you find one with an interesting shape, a nice colour, or nice colour combination, its always wise to pick it up, or take a screenshot of it with glyphs, so you can always go back to get it later.

When you see 100s of orange and black ones, and boring shapes, ones that are different stand out to you.

When you see 1 good out of 100s of meh ones, you want to go find the next good one, it can get addictive.

My name is Stobbsy, and Im a Ship Hunterolic...

[wet sonnet]

When you find the style you want put a little base down so if you wanna do something else cause it gets tedious you can come back anytime and hunt some more I have glyphs for a really nice black and red if you ever interested

[proven narwhal]

If anyone wants this

[gritty dew]

I like finding my own ships better. I did get glyphs for a squid ship because they look sooooo cool (imo) but I’m still searching to find one of my own. Stuff feels better when you find it yourself imo

[dark timber]

sure, send a pic of that one. i only have 5 glyphs on the char but ill check it out on my old cretive

[gritty dew]

Just found this single thruster w/ light blue last night. Doctinawyra must like blue seeing it in most of the systems I’ve been too

[wet sonnet]

I dmed you

[wet sonnet]

I found a squid ship at an outpost it took off before I could get to it 😔

[gritty dew]

Booooooo

[latent rivet]

this is why I have joined the hunt in my free time.

There is a basic shuttle in my fleet for a reason because it has a thruster I haven’t seen before and it looks awesome.

The thrill of the hunt is what pushes me on. That and it’s just fun to mindlessly turn your brain off, slaughter corrupted sentinels (or use the echo) and then find a ship that’s more often than not a mediocre ship, but you don’t wanna stop because the next ship might be insanely good or insanely cool

I had an instance of repetitive mediocrity for sentinel ships, declared the next two to be my last, and those last two are still in my fleet because they’re cool.

[merry fox]

Sentinel interceptors are more my thing but don't see too many solid color ships flying around that aren't exotics. Would be easy enough to make one from parts. (Forgot to look what thrusters it has on the back.)

[quartz kindle]

my silly little exotic in flight

[bleak umbra]

That looks like Vector thrusters - the other options are a mono-thruster, which is one big circle, or tri-thrusters which are in a triangular arrangement with an upward slope.

[queen sandal]

Twinsies almost . That's the best shot i have of it rn

[quartz kindle]

did you also order just a slice of an exotic ship

[queen sandal]

Except mine has a chunk off one side

On the left

That white one was the first exotic i was able to buy. I had to trade my Corvette for it cuz i was broke back then

[zenith bolt]

Little white/cream Rasa Fighter

Yellow? and Black Sentinel Interceptor

White with Red Highlights Fighter

Red HotRod Fighter, Euclid

[queen sandal]

I'm gonna start collecting ships i think look cool and not just exotics and sentinels

[zenith bolt]

People dont tend to like fighters etc cause they are older, but you can find some nice looking non exotic/ sentinel ships

My main is a fighter atm

[queen sandal]

My first ship i used for a while after the starter ship was a solar ship

I never used a hauler or shuttle. I had a dedicated fighter for a bit

Then it was exotic, then squid, now sentinel or Corvette as my main

[wicked solar]

It's so elegant 😭

[wicked solar]

I used a solar for a bit too. It was this gorgeous green one with purple thrusters I bought off of a pirate

[queen sandal]

I liked the recharging aspect of it, you do so much landing and launching early on and you're sort of resource light

[latent rivet]

That is a keeper I believe

[wet sonnet]

I have one like the one front left red but it has no Fin no nose peace and no thrusters on the side I'm at work or I'd send a photo of it it's a weird little looking thing

[zenith bolt]

Not my cup of tea as its Orange, Sentinel Interceptor - Purple system

[wet sonnet]

Yea I need black and red or black and white

[hazy oriole]

whats the ship

[hazy oriole]

,

[fickle flax]

The all black one

@hazy oriole

[hazy oriole]

yep

[fickle flax]

Yes I have that one

Give your code and I’ll join you

[hazy oriole]

is that sentinel ?

[fickle flax]

Yes it is

[hazy oriole]

is it a mission ship ?

[fickle flax]

Wym?

[hazy oriole]

like we obtain this ship by mission we get'

[fickle flax]

I mean technically you have to go to a dissonant planet and find a echo locator and then you have to find a camp then you can get the ship by breaking the s eal

[hazy oriole]

i asked the q cause i donot want to miss experiencing

[fickle flax]

I mean you can always go and find your own at any time as long as you have the main story line done bc there a whole bunch of sentinels ships to be found

So it won’t mess up anything

[hazy oriole]

KZZ7-FB12-ETM1E thx for the info

[fickle flax]

Np

I added you now you just need to add me and start a session and I’ll join

Also do you have money?

Like a good amount?

[hazy oriole]

I can check if i do

[hazy oriole]

Did u join ?

[fickle flax]

I don’t see you

What’s your name on nms

[hazy oriole]

I did add u tho

[fickle flax]

What’s your name I think I see just want too make it’s you

@hazy oriole

[hazy oriole]

Dm

[sly lichen]

2 in one?

[zenith bolt]

it happens

rare though

[wicked solar]

Honestly the whole systems needs a slight overhaul

Or more ship type specific roles

[exotic garden]

i heard that ship types used to have more meaning

but now you can just expand slots, so haulers are basically useless gameplay wise

[fickle flax]

Does anyone have a red exotic they would be willing to sell?

[orchid schooner]

Looks very similar to my iceblue/whitish one but it has the additional antennas on top, nice stuff.

I've also come to like the triangle visor more recently, it kinda makes them look more...tough/serious? Not sure what it is exactly, but they look more "terminator" style with it to me.

[latent rivet]

I have it stored in my freighter bc I was satisfied with it

idk why but every ship I want or like are C class, so I got a lot of work

This next ship I’m working on is a mix between a rocket launcher/cyclotron, as a way to test out two weapons I often NEVER use.

[orchid schooner]

I figure it wouldn't take that long to find a B or even A-Class crashsite though? Probably worth the trouble.

[latent rivet]

could be, I was on a time crunch this time LOL

I sadly also no longer have the coords to the other two, but they should be somewhere in this chat.

If I wanted to I can pop a search ig.

Just depends on how much work I wanna do. I’m at the point where I wanna take things slow as balls, so doing as much as I can to just grind nanites or vibe, so

I even sat a base in an area over some water so I can fish.

[wet sonnet]

I do if you still need one when I get home in 3 hrs

[latent rivet]

you like collecting all red ships?

[wet sonnet]

Who

[latent rivet]

you

lol

[wet sonnet]

Not really I like the black and red or white and black but I grab what ever exotics come along

Since I built my Corvette I don't use anything else it's why I have exotic for sale

[fickle flax]

Yes please if you have one

[wet sonnet]

Yea DM me red exotic so I can find you and remember what you need

[balmy vault]

Which weapons do you use on your ships? I thought about using rockets + cyclotron ballista, but the rockets fail to one-shot enemy ships and take forever to recharge so i was wondering what would be the best anti-hull weapon to use

[wet sonnet]

I use the infra knife it's a weak number but my Corvette does 106,500 DPS and it melts everything in like 2 seconds

Same for my starborn Phoenix it does 97k and same result

[exotic garden]

i got infra knife on my dedicated fighting ship, i get 40k dmg on a normal ship from em

they have a lil bit of an issue with hitting moving targets tho

so i got some spare photon cannons, rockets and a laser to steal shields

[wet sonnet]

Use the ballista it slows them down a little and finish with knife

[exotic garden]

oh ill try that, thx

[wet sonnet]

No problem once you get close to 100k with the infra knife you just spray once and there done so I don't even have the ballista any more all maneuverability and knife

[magic snow]

happened to me with squids once!

[queen sandal]

Can you salvage a living ship? If so what do you get?

[fickle flax]

Unfortunately you cannot

[queen sandal]

So what do you do when you have one you don't want

[autumn iris]

Exchange it for another lifeform's starship, just like Corvettes

or exchange it for a crashed ship if you are full on ships

or I believe you may be able to destroy it in the Starship Archive menu, but not sure

[dense spruce]

I can get you a red exotic with 4 square supercharge slots

[queen sandal]

Wish i could get those 10k nanites back 😂

[fickle flax]

I just got one but thank you

[dense spruce]

This one

[dense spruce]

Before and after - Upgrade class gave the 38 supercharge. First ship storage augmentation gave 23 supercharge slot.

[inner quest]

^ the portal code for a blue 42 squid ship. v the seed

[balmy vault]

Do you think a ship like this is capable of fighting a sentinel battleship, or should i go look for something stronger?

I could hunt for some extra weapon upgrade modules, but they give like 5-8% bonus even at s rank so i'm not usre how much difference it makes

[proven narwhal]

I think it could You’d need star shield batteries

it might be able to

[exotic garden]

im not sure if everyone else decided what i did, but after playing a very cheesy game thru i decided to buy nms, and the cheese transfered over

you can just

kiss the front of the ship

and stay there

giving it a lonnggg big kiss

you'll need heal like twice to compensate collision dmg

but you'll blow up the frigate, and it can bearly dmg u

id get rockets on those free slots tho

they do a lot of dmg to the big things like frigates

if you wanna do ot more legit

[balmy vault]

i can just keep shooting the hull without taking out the turrets ?

[fathom trout]

Yes

You only need to take out the shield batteries, you can ignore the turrets

[proven narwhal]

It’s like taking out a dreadnought in a way

[brave mica]

white and silver looks super dope

also found a cool mech widow tank today, I might switch for a while

[brave mica]

@zenith bolt got one for you, non pirate system, vykeen economy T2, conflict T1

I've put a message box next to it, should be easy to find

[zenith bolt]

Nice, i did one #nms-legacy-ships message here 2 star system, natural top, upgraded just over half way. Can always do more though

[brave mica]

ah, I missed it, seems not that much of a difference though, no? damage seems to be the highest 8 points but how much does it really matters irl?

[zenith bolt]

not 8 ingame, that figure is a multiplyer somehow of all your upgrades, im not sure how it works tbh

[brave mica]

hmm.. so, what would reflect it in game? damage on a certain weapon module?

[zenith bolt]

damage on numbers when you shoot something it probably will

maybe ill ask in questions

[brave mica]

but, let's say you get s class with 4 separate slots, you have only one SC slot for a weapon, I don't think it's going to level up with something that has 2 adjacent slots on upgraded though

[zenith bolt]

its the base damage stat, so i guess that if upgrades give a 2% increase, it will be on the base stat?

[brave mica]

same goes for manouverability, the multiplier is good but 2-3 slots is way higher multiplier than a single slot, no?

so unless you find both native s class and good slots setup does it worth chasing s class or better slots?

I wonder if the software you're using can take modules and compute the end result for the stats for both ways

[zenith bolt]

dunno, it all started cause someone said upgraded was same as natural, and I just said its incorrect as it is

ok pick that outlaw one from before, get that natural S class you just posted, and put same modules in same place without sc slots

[brave mica]

like this one is perfect example

[zenith bolt]

on both ships

[brave mica]

actually 4 separate slots

I guess each tech can get a good boost but I wonder what damage would it be on single SC slot vs 2-3 slots on upgraded ship

[zenith bolt]

ok this is how much difference it makes, left is a natural S from Outlaw 63 damage bonus, right is natural S from 2 Star 79 damage stat this is without upgrades or anything supercharged.

so a 70 upgraded will be say half way

Thats without upgrades, upgrades will probably make it worse (bigger difference)

[wet sonnet]

To be honest it comes down to the style you want and the supercharged slot set up you want and once you get 90 100k DPS it don't really matter nothing the game throws at you can handle it

[zenith bolt]

I agree, I function fine with 20k dps Photon cannon, its why I argued with the other guy all the time about how sc slots dont really matter, and that i wasnt interested in sc slot placement, so i wasnt gonna post them. But I also, want people if they are gonna educate people stuff for the info to be accurate.

For me its like the line "you are best hunting or exotics in 3 star systems, cause thats where you have the best chance", when its bollocks

[orchid schooner]

Life without adjacent slots best, keeps things kinda balanced. I still always hunt for at least 2 + 1 + 1 though cuz it just feels satisfying to have something „above average“ so to speak.

[wet sonnet]

Yea I have learned quite a bit from a few of your post on here about damage and the numbers

[orchid schooner]

But i‘d accept a huge nerf on the boost slots give without complaints, it would be for the better.

[zenith bolt]

The hardest content dps wise is the dreadnought freighter battle, I can do that battle and destroy the dreadnought with a c class hauler with no damage bonus, and 1 c class upgrade

[wet sonnet]

I like 3x1 or 2x2 weapon and maneuverability that's what I go for

[orchid schooner]

Yeah 2x2 to boost two different things is my favorite, it‘s unbalanced either way

[wet sonnet]

Yea my Corvette is 3x1 3 for my infra knife 106k DPS and 1 for maneuverability almost 3k

Besides my Corvette the starborn Phoenix I got from the service bot is my favorite it has all 4 slots together

[zenith bolt]

Me personally, I wont get a ships or MT from Outlaw space, cause of the reduction in stats, except the sentinel MT, and autophage weapon for mining purposes

as its only dmg and not mining that gets a nerf

The only ship ill hunt in outlaw, is freighters cause again im not botherd about stats on it, its a mobile storage device

[wet sonnet]

So outlaw system have a stat reduction

[zenith bolt]

Ive not checked solars, but most ships, except exotics get a damage nerf ie are bottom of the range in outlaw space

[wet sonnet]

Ok I only look for exotics in outlaw

[zenith bolt]

This one is from Outlaw, the damage range for an interceptor is 60-80 and that is a 63 as a natural S

[wet sonnet]

I found all my exotics and a gek 3 star so far that's where I do all my trading and ship giving to people and exotics to show up almost every time I trade with someone

[zenith bolt]

However an Upgraded S in Outlaw is higher

[wet sonnet]

At space station

[zenith bolt]

Exotic Ships stats are determined off whether its a silver or gold variant

Sentinel MT weapons dont have a nerf in outlaw, or from upgrading i dont think

but other Mts do to damage

mining etc isnt effected i seem to remember

I could do with checking solars, as they are mainly found in outlaw systems

[wet sonnet]

What is silver and gold variant how do you tell

[bleak umbra]

It's the trim/markings - it's either silver or gold

[zenith bolt]

yes

Silver markings

on the ball

[wet sonnet]

Ah ok

[zenith bolt]

Silver is usually, but not always lower than gold

[zenith bolt]

silver

[wet sonnet]

Ok I didn't know that was a thing they just land next to me at the space station while I'm trading with people and I buy them

[zenith bolt]

gold

but as you have said, You can upgrade the worst ship, and it will totally be functional in game

[wet sonnet]

Yeah they need to make it a little bit more worth hunting for natural S-Class ships and add a little bit more danger and action so that it's worth doing all the damage

[zenith bolt]

Its like when people go on about perfect sc slots placement, I just show this, noobie ship with 105k dps with non perfect sc slots, thats why they are meaningless to me.

[wet sonnet]

That's awesome

That just proves even more that its more about the style of ship you want than anything else they do need to add more action tho a more threats like elite dangerous

[brave mica]

my tank bug collection getting bigger 🙂

[wet sonnet]

Nice tho I'm not a fan of the tank feet ones

[flat marsh]

nms chat got toxic

i want to rally around my ship photo

my not purple ship...

i been told for many times

[sick oriole]

na thats purple

[brave mica]

is that white? almost looks light blue, I know it's space station lightning but in the overview page it's not quite white too

or it's just inhereiting the space station lighting?

yep, definitely white, hate taking pics in space station

[latent rivet]

lighting do make a difference

Otherwise, nice exotic!

[brave mica]

yeah, can't keep it unfortunately, no space...

[flat marsh]

eh worth s few photos and strip it?

[brave mica]

yep, pretty much, I decided I only will keep the bubbles or the one with the single engine/small tail, although this one does look super cute

[flat marsh]

Flat ish two tone

I have not perfected my steam app

i found another like this that has articlulating claws at the "mouth" well the "Face" i don't have a good photo yet. reminds me of a crab. My photo mode acts up if it's not true daytime. no amount of setting cast light on my pictures

oh i think they call it mantis or scorpion on the cheatsheet now i forget if the center one ar up or down.

[orchid schooner]

Mandibles are what makes a peak Interceptor for me, they look so much more rad with them

[zenith bolt]

Nice All Red, Needle Nosed Fighter

[flat marsh]

makes a good looking ship. the needle has a few more slots than viper or jet doesnt it? the speeder still has more i think

somewhere i saw a infographic that show the expected slot range for various parts. rough guide only nothing solid

naw no where does it show cockpits have more slots. it is the wings moreso

[zenith bolt]

the r2 wings give it more slots

[zenith bolt]

The R2 Fighters used to be called tier 2 fighters, and the Heavy Looking fighters were called tier 3, as they gave even more starting inventory slots and are more expensive to buy. There were similar ones with Haulers and explorers

[zenith bolt]

Black and Red Sentinel Interceptor - Purple system

Example of a tier 3 fighter, with the Heavy look, Red Fighter - Purple system

Lots of starting slots

[magic snow]

you can store a ship in your freighter long time ship storage!

[brave mica]

unfortunately I have zero slots in the archive

[magic snow]

?

[zenith bolt]

Very nice, white and dark grey needlenosed fighter purple star system

[brave mica]

all occupied

[magic snow]

how many slots do u get?

[brave mica]

18 I think?

[marble trout]

I personally just have one ship of each type

I think thats the best idea

[brave mica]

but what if you want it in every color?

[magic snow]

i have all the expedion ships which take up too much space

[zenith bolt]

Something like that

[magic snow]

like i hate the wraith but might as well have it

also my game is bugging i think cause somehow i have 500000 dps on my infraknife

[marble trout]

no infraknife is very OP in game

[magic snow]

ik but like

[marble trout]

combat severely imbalanced and not a priority

[magic snow]

500000 is a ton

been playing for years and never had that before

[wet sonnet]

Yea you only need like 90 to 100k DPS to slap everything the game throws at you even less than that sill dominates

[magic snow]

guys

[zenith bolt]

Probably reskin bug thing where u can put regular tech on as well

[magic snow]

how did my friend get 1000000 quicksilver

[marble trout]

duped and given to him in anomaly

[zenith bolt]

Save edit

[magic snow]

ah

[orchid schooner]

Wraith best ship

[magic snow]

so ugly

[marble trout]

people can give you stuff without you noticing

[queen sandal]

Can you give quicksilver to other players?

[zenith bolt]

Can dupe it?

[orchid schooner]

Nope, it's a beauty!

[brave mica]

not that I'm aware of

[magic snow]

i have 2 squids that look better

[orchid schooner]

The most beautiful ship to ever grace this beautiful universe...only thing I kinda dislike is the tail

[queen sandal]

Looks kinda like station wagon

[orchid schooner]

The tail could look a bit better, I'll give u that. Otherwise the Wraith rules!

[zenith bolt]

I dont like any expedition ship except Normandy, too common for me

[queen sandal]

I found a sentinel a while back that reminds me of a police SUV

[magic snow]

i have had my 2 squids since the first 20 hours in my save

i got lucky

[magic snow]

share picture?

[orchid schooner]

I like almost all of the expo ships, if I had to call one the worst it'd probs be the golden vector. That one is just meh

a regular alpha vector looks a lot better imo

[magic snow]

yea or the utopia speeder

[queen sandal]

#nms-legacy-ships message

[magic snow]

true

[zenith bolt]

Id just rather have something that only 1 or 2 people have

[orchid schooner]

I kinda like that one, it looks like a cooler snowspeeder from Star Wars. But still not as good as the boundary herald, iron vulture and the wraith. Those would be my top 3

[magic snow]

IT DOES LOOK LIKE STARWARS

oops caps

[orchid schooner]

lol, i thought you were being enthusiastic now

[orchid schooner]

Def a fair sentiment to have, I also dont main any of the expo ships

[magic snow]

mine are the boundary herald, the runner, or idk

[magic snow]

same lol

[orchid schooner]

oh i forgot about the runner yeah that one would probably be 4th in the ranking, not sure whether i prefer the regular one or the phoenix

[magic snow]

idk how rare it is to find 2 different squids, but in less than 20 hours of a save it was def up there, and my 2 brothers found squids as well in their first few hours, crazy ass luck

[magic snow]

idk if i ever redeemed the phoenix lol

lol

[orchid schooner]

I still need to get one myself I have coords for one I stumbled upon but didn't have the money back then.

I'm in no rush cuz I kinda do not like the Squid and would probably never use it.

[magic snow]

yeah i dont use coords when getting my ships

we found them naturally

[orchid schooner]

Yeah I mean like my own coords from a system I ended up in naturally

[zenith bolt]

I found 2, 1 jump after other, 16 light years apart

[wet sonnet]

For expo ships I like the Phoenix and the wraith

[magic snow]

ah

did u not have money for it or sm?

[orchid schooner]

Wraith also has nice stats compared to regular living ships, not that it really matters

[magic snow]

wow lucky u

mine are purple and sandy color

[orchid schooner]

yeah it was actually in a system i traversed during an expedition

[magic snow]

my brothers have red and yellow

[magic snow]

awesome

one of my brothers got his as artemis crashed ship lmao

[orchid schooner]

I wish that Artemis had some sort of unique ship tbh

[magic snow]

yeah

[queen sandal]

I just use a few positron modules and don't really bother trying to minmax. They still take down shields pretty fast and then hull very fast

[magic snow]

like

[autumn iris]

Then even more people in the anomaly would have the same ship as each other

[magic snow]

true

[autumn iris]

Artemis' ship is the first chance for the player to branch out

[magic snow]

either the pillar or artemis ship lol

Player Guilds would be a cool addition in game

[brave mica]

me too, two white squids, one jump after another, but haven't found any since...

[wet sonnet]

I wish I could find a squid 😞I seen one at outpost when I landed ran to it and it flew off 😞

[zenith bolt]

Took me 18 months to find my 1st wild one

[wet sonnet]

Yea I bet I mean I have cords for a couple but I'd like to find the exotics on my own

[zenith bolt]

Now ive lost count, i know its at least 45

[brave mica]

they're literally everywhere in euclid, I swear I couldn't find one in hilbert but in euclid is just raining exotics, the amount of waves you need to wait is luck but stick around for at least 10-20, you can use the hover next to the trade post method to regenerate waves faster, if you see one coming close land asap and grab it

I stopped documenting the ones I've already found before but I've got one almost in every non-abandoned system

literally everywhere

[autumn iris]

They're everywhere in all galaxies

exotic ship spawn chances don't change based on galaxy

[brave mica]

I need to get back to Hilbert and try again, probably was out of luck

[zenith bolt]

Im just tired of exotics, i dont actively look for them anymore, unless someone needs help getting 1. Im going through a fighter phase atm, as im tired of sentinels also.

Exotics still find me though, every now and again

Whats not to like about this view

[queen sandal]

I don't really like the cockpit interface of exotics

[twin hawk]

Anyone got coords and glyphs for a squid ship?

[zenith bolt]

#nms-legacy-ships message

[twin hawk]

Thanks

[zenith bolt]

have other colours if you prefer

all in Euclid - starter galaxy

Blue and Yellow Sentinel Interceptor

[wet sonnet]

Yea I got tired of looking for ships and since I built my Corvette I haven't used another ship

[zenith bolt]

tbh i dont like Corvettes, but im bad at designing/creative stuff

even bases are basically 4 walls and a roof

[bleak umbra]

I exclusively used my corvette for a while, because the storage access is just too nice, but now that I use my freighter to warp around I can access the storage via that, so I can use whatever takes my fancy again.

[zenith bolt]

yer all i can say, I go through phases, get bored, do it another way

or use something else

[wet sonnet]

I'm the same way all my bases are the prefab stuff

[balmy vault]

Do the ship stats take into account installed mods? I really like this sentinel ship i just salvaged, but it seems to be inferior to my current one in pretty much every way

[autumn iris]

Yes, the stats represent their stats with all the current tech installed

ships that lack upgrades will always display as far worse compared to ships with upgrades/tech installed

[balmy vault]

so, is there some way to view the baseline bonuses the ship has?

also, are there any dmage mods that apply to the sentinel cannon?

[autumn iris]

Without a save editor, no

[autumn iris]

Yes, Photon Cannon technology

[balmy vault]

i see. Is it worth using it over the infra knife?

[next magnet]

What's the best arrangement for a l shaped sc layout

[autumn iris]

What do you wish to prioritize?

[next magnet]

Speed

[autumn iris]

Like pulse speed or speed in general?

[next magnet]

Speed in general

All around

[autumn iris]

The latter cannot be improved in any meaningful way beyond like 25% or smth

it's capped, and that cap is reached without supercharging easily

the speedometer still displays added speed after this, due to a weird quirk, but this added speed is not physical

If you wish for greater speeds in certain scenarios, you must instead use a different starship type entirely

[wet sonnet]

I think the infra knife is the best weapon on the game

[balmy vault]

i am inclined to agree

[next magnet]

Can anyone help me hunt a royal starship

Ive been at it for wayyy to long

Dm me if you can help

[wet sonnet]

I know the beam is crazy numbers for the Corvette but I like infra knife it does 106k DPS on my Corvette and thats enough for me

And you can get close to or above that on sentinel ships

You just have find the right modules

[balmy vault]

Regarding supercharged slots: do they only affect modules with numerical stats? For example if i put a base pulse engine module there, it will not benefit, but an upgrade to a pulse engine will?

[wet sonnet]

You can put them in the supercharged slots but if I'm correct you should put your best modules in The supercharged slots and then everything else around it and a square or t-shape

With the infra knife you want the base weapon in a supercharged slot that makes my DPS higher I move mine around to get the highest number

[autumn iris]

Many benefit, but just offer worse stats than their upgrades

all core tech have stats internally

it's just that all core weapon tech have greater stats than their blueprints/upgrade, except the neutron cannon

also the core sentinel hyperdrive offers a bunch more hyperdrive range than any upgrade

The Pulse Engine is unique though in that it gives a small amount of Pulse Drive Power, which is the stat that improves pulse speed

the only other thing that has this stat is the Sub-Light Amplifier

and of course the other Pulse Engine variants, in which the sentinel one also has a bit more Pulse Drive Power than the base one

[autumn iris]

Note that supercharging pulse engine/upgrades does not improve the boost speed of an upgraded starship. Speed is capped, as I described before #nms-legacy-ships message

better described here https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3957

[wet sonnet]

I have them gives me the highest numbers I can get I've moved all modules around and this gives me the best numbers

[autumn iris]

Okay. That has nothing to do with what I said

I'm just telling you that the AI google readout is wrong in a few places

and to be wary of a common misinfo point about starship boost speed

[wet sonnet]

I see

[autumn iris]

The speedometer lies, and optimizing boost speed beyond like 2 decent upgrades functionally does nothing

[wet sonnet]

I don't look at speed it's maneuverability for me

[autumn iris]

Yes, then that can be increased as much as you wish

[wicked solar]

Stats?

[wet sonnet]

For

[wicked solar]

The ship

[wicked solar]

Hot damn

[wet sonnet]

106kdps and like 2500 maneuverability

[wicked solar]

Probably. But meta is boring 😏

I have infra knife and cyclotron on my one sentinel, and the cyclotron is good for disabling engines. Infra knife for hull

My other sentinel has phase beam and the shotgun weapon, and I like not having to recharge shields hehe. Shotgun is easier to aim than the infra knife despite having lower DPS. Alpha is way higher tho

[wet sonnet]

I used the ballista until I got my DPS up now they don't last long enough to have to slow them down

[balmy vault]

Given how much damage infra knife does and the fact that its shield damage is only slightly lower than hull damage it might be better to just drop cyclotron completely and just use infra knife all the time

[wicked solar]

I also like the purple projectiles 🙂‍↕️

That's a viable strategy but combat is so easy already I don't see a reason to waste supercharged slots on already powerful weapons. I usually reserve them for hyperdrive modules or maneuverability

Infraknife is INCREDIBLE for destroying dreadnought hulls. It just melts them lol

[wet sonnet]

Yea they do 🤣🤣

They need to add more threats and action to have a reason to have such high DPS

I get that it's more of a exploration and building game but if your going to give us weapons in the ability to have high damage give us something worth doing it for

[wicked solar]

But I like to switch it up 😏 so for rn its phase beam and........I still forget the name of the shotgun like weapon

And my next ship will just be the regular guns in a supercharged slot. I haven't used em in a bit

[wet sonnet]

I'm like 4 weeks in so I'm still on infra knife

[wicked solar]

Oh fr? I'm only 110 hours in on this save (it's my first save)

[wet sonnet]

I'm on my second save 120;on first one 55 on this one

And I'm 6 weeks in not 4 idk why my phone changed it 🤣🤣

[wicked solar]

Lmao damn 🤣 when I first started playing I wasn't that into it but this past week or two I've gotten hella into it

[wet sonnet]

I was hooked right away 🤣🤣I have like 10 other games I haven't played since I downloaded this out side of the the marvel cosmic invasion game

It's a breath of fresh air from playing ark for so long

[magic snow]

if you saved the system coords then you could get it again

[wet sonnet]

I did not

It was blue so not that big a deal it was just the first one I've ever seen

[wicked solar]

Lmao real 🤣

Nah at first I was still hooked onto flyout but I go back and forth

[copper brook]

anyone selling ships

[latent rivet]

This ship’s color is awesome-

I’ll post in a sec

It is white and mint green

The mint green is accents, so it’s not too flashy, and it blends super super well

This ship will be my first one I try to hunt its natural S class-

[wet sonnet]

The suspense is killing me

[latent rivet]

ik ik

friggin’ pc

My pc has an issue with rest mode

and it constantly freezes it when trying to wake it up

[latent rivet]

this ship is hawt.

[latent rivet]

Also I gots a question:

I am grinding out this ship and just learned that the supercharged slots DO INDEED change per ship.

Is it based on class or am I just losing it?

[fathom trout]

The starting SC layout depend on the ship's exact spawn location, as in one spot where you find a ship, the next spot will have the same ship design but a different layout, this sorta depend on rank.

the SC slots you get when upgrading ships depends on the star system, so for example, i got 2 copies of the same ship from the same star system but in different places, their starting SC slots will differ, but the SC slots they gain from upgrading their rank will be in the same places, mostly

[latent rivet]

AH! That explains a lot then!

So there are niches that make actually finding a natural S class somewhat more of a gamble and a rarity if it is a 2x2

This also means you can somewhat predict where the sc slots will spawn if you had a C class of the same ship in that system and maxed it out-

also I def almost killed my ship with my own rockets…

[fathom trout]

Correct, this is the exact reason why I never hunt for a natural occuring 2x2 starship, far too much RNG, I only do S rank hunting for freighter as there are no alternatives

[latent rivet]

But I can then see an appeal TO search for those ships.

It’d literally crush your spirit, but they are genuine precious gems

[fathom trout]

Yep

I was very giddy when I lucked out and got my dream freighter SC layout within 10 stars of searching for a search I was expecting hundreds, and found a second layout I wanted with 100 stars afterwards

[latent rivet]

lucky-

Most of mine have really scattered slots, so I gave up and went for looks.

not saying my ships are bad, bc that’s objectively untrue.

I am quite happy with my ship.

I say ship bc I plan to scrap the yellow one I used since before I beat the story

[stiff surge]

its really cool, thanks for sharing, i will get one for sure

[zenith bolt]

@latent rivet Frostnburns explanation only applies to sentinel ships afaik. Regular crash sites with fighters, haulers etc have fixed sc points, just wanted to clarify there is a difference.

[dense spruce]

sorry I forgot I had moved systems before taking the photos. @stiff surge

[latent rivet]

I’m usually doing sentinels so it works for me lol

[stiff surge]

ah so the glyphs arent the ones? and i guess you dont have the actual ones? i like the ship, for reference this my main ship and yours is almost same type but way better looking

[dense spruce]

Here are the correct glyphs

[stiff surge]

thanks a lot, its beautiful

[fathom trout]

TIL, thanks

[dense spruce]

The colours popped better in the original photos but as I said I forgot I had changed systems before I took them so the glyphs are wrong,

[latent rivet]

I can’t believe today I only found one ship and it turned out to be a ship that I legit got at least an A class with decent slots

[wintry fossil]

what do you call these little tic tac lookin sentinel ships? I need more of them.

[fast kelp]

bugs

or i like to call em USBs

😂

[dense spruce]

reminds me of the Boston Dynamics dog robot and I don't know why. It doesn't look like one.

[sage dome]

Iv read some people call it "fleas"

[fathom trout]

Flea generally refer to variants that has no wings of any kind, just the cockpit, rear thruster and landing gear

[glossy trench]

should I get this or keep looking (i've been searching for WEEKS)

[dense spruce]

I thought this was a flea - but maybe only if it was black

Blue and Black Interceptor (AND a Blue and Gold Royal Exotic - same system / planet. Edit: I just realised the blue and gold royal exotic pictured is not from this location. The one from here has a v wing.)

[fathom trout]

Flea adjacent for sure, the tail is the only part that's extra

[dense spruce]

is there a shorter end on a flea?

[fathom trout]

this one has no tail

[dense spruce]

ooh tiny

I guess mine is a silverfish

These are the correct glyphs for the orange and white small thing anyway

[twin estuary]

Thank you!

[dense spruce]

You only need to be able to fight pirate ships strangely for the best Interceptor farming. Get yourself an economy scanner and a conflict scanner (blueprints at the anomaly). Best to have a few upgrades on your mining laser too. You must have an advanced mining laser installed. After that go to the warp map and find a pirate dissonant system. A skull in the third icon space when looking at a star and the word dissonant at the right of the info above the icons. Find the planet that has dissonant in the summary when you scan it from space (press c while facing it). For some dissonant planets the rest doesn’t work - apparently if they have gold or activated metals in their summary you need to find a different dissonant planet. Fly around low and slow and look for things that look like drills (a purple diamond with a picture of one will appear at the top of the screen if you are close). Shoot them until they drop either an inverted mirror or an echo locator. You need one of each. Activate the echo locator in your inventory. Go to the harmonic camp do the maths puzzle (clues are in option two then enter matching glyphs from option 1) get the multitool and the interceptor location. (I strongly recommend placing a base at the harmonic camp before you leave to reuse it indefinitely for more interceptors). Fly to the crashed interceptor. Take the junk out of the interceptor. Give it the inverted mirror and three radiant shards. (Use F scan to find the nearest ones and if you trigger the sentinels, hide in a hole or melee boost away.) The next step is not obvious - activate the brain in your inventory to see where to go to make it harmonic. Then come back and slap it into the interceptor.

In a pirate dissonant system you occasionally get attacked by pirates. In a regular dissonant system if you attack resonators (drills) from the air the sentinel ships will attack and they are much harder and escalate all the way to a frigate. You are better off not fighting sentinels in the air or on the ground when in the middle of claiming an interceptor. Avoid agro but if you alert the ground sentinels when getting radiant shards (big purple crystals) just hide or run.

You can farm interceptors on a regular dissonant planet just attack the resonators from the ground (from a tunnel or long range if you are worried about the sentinels). Alternatively attack from the air but land your ship as soon as the sentinel ships are alerted and before they pop in.

If you like the look of the interceptor you get but want a better class or better supercharge slots (or if you want more to salvage for lots of cash and resources) you can reuse the same harmonic camp. If you don’t like the look of the interceptor, try another planet because all of the ones from a planet look exactly the same.

[queen sandal]

Why do you recommend pirate dissonant?

[dense spruce]

I like killing sentinels from the air with no consequence and it is faster to get resonators that way. Much faster. I can get about three a minute sometimes.

I actually farm interceptors on both pirate and non-pirate systems but I start on a pirate system to get a bunch of echo locators (and lots of inverted mirrors) to use on the non-pirate dissonant planets.

Inverted mirrors can be refined into 95 nanites each as well so when you get a bunch while looking for echo locators it isn’t a waste.

[wet sonnet]

Glyphs for pirate dissonant system

[queen sandal]

Had not occurred to me that interceptors wouldn't come after you for killing the drill things on a pirate system

[dense spruce]

I think it is because pirate ships replace sentinel ships in those systems. Not sure if there is a lore reason. Did the pirates kill all the sentinel ships or did they chose to settle in a system that didn’t have sentinel ships??

[queen sandal]

I find if I'm in a ship that can hover and stay close to the ground they don't really bug me that much in any case but that's a good tip if that's how it works

[dense spruce]

Since @twin estuary said they are new I was aiming for the approach that has the least danger and sentinel ships are definitely more dangerous than pirate ships unless you land on the ground as soon as you agro them.

[bleak umbra]

The three main races have an agreement with the sentinels to limit their activities in return for the sentinels enforcing their laws.

Pirate systems don't have that agreement, so the sentinels don't provide ships in those systems.

[zenith bolt]

Black and White Sentinel Interceptor

[zenith bolt]

White n Black with Red Sentinel Interceptor

[queen sandal]

That's a cool one

[latent rivet]

There is also the second option to max out an exocraft and go gung-ho.

Might not be as efficient though, but less time spent looking for a specific type of system-

You’ll also need the exocraft summoning thing for your suit to help-

[crystal thistle]

Umm, how rare is it to get S class sentinel large freighter just randomly when I was not even farming?

[zenith bolt]

quite

[elder oriole]

You mean you save it and get it for free or buy it?

[crystal thistle]

I technically bought it as I already had A class one. Though for only 40 mil.

[latent rivet]

Very rare as my current save sitting at 140 hours I have yet to see an S class freighter of any kind.

[crystal thistle]

Umm my luck just went insane at that time as I just got a S rank sentinel ship then a pirate fight followed by the S rank freighter

[brisk fossil]

What are the odds of getting an s-class sentinel ship?

[exotic garden]

white n red A class interceptor

[exotic garden]

o dam, a interceptor with those top wings that actually looks decent, might be the first time i see this type of wings and like em

nice find m8

[wet sonnet]

Not very high

[brisk fossil]

My sentinel ship looks like a box

[wicked solar]

finally constructed my first ship! i use it as a short range fighter/explorer (might as well warp around in my freighter ya know?)

[latent rivet]

YEZZIR!

I’m about to make my own too!

Just missing the wings I want

I have used so many sentinel ships that I need a throwback to a classic.

[dense spruce]

If you prefer light blue interceptors

[latent rivet]

That is a chonker

[wicked solar]

nah fr 🤣 came full circle

[latent rivet]

unironically…

[latent rivet]

I’ll use the ole shuttle as a throwaway and get rid of this old fighter I have

then I’ll make my own fighter and use it for pirate/high danger sectors.

[brave mica]

finally it happened, whew

only took like 80 missions to get two of these

[wet sonnet]

I have a lot of these if you need more and the eggs module things as well

[brave mica]

thanks, I really wanted to get my own, I don’t think I need much as the living ships have limited tech anyways, I just needed some to get better layout

[wet sonnet]

Ah ok I maxed out my wraith and have extra left over

[placid iris]

I use creative as soon as i get one. Feels like they're a little bit too rare.

[wet sonnet]

Yea I duped them when I got them I don't mind to grind but they are to rare

[sick barn]

is Spawning Sac the living ship inventory expander item? (and what is that log from? living frigate?)

[wet sonnet]

Yes and the log is from a frigate expedition

[sick barn]

I still haven't touched my living ship in a long time due to the grinding needed to get it on-par with my fighter starship...

[tropic pulsar]

i usually go for a sentinel interceptor, good stats in addition to being real easy to refuel tech

[brave mica]

yep got it after many missions, every one had at least one living frigate, funny thing is I got it from the only missions I didn't send my s class living frigates, it was from a balanced missions that I've assigned a b class frigate and it brought back 2 of them

[orchid schooner]

It's worth it, their sound effects make them such a joy to fly imo

[brave mica]

the sound is indeed incredible, but they are so damn hard to maneuver compared to interceptors. also I just now realized there's only the photon canon and laser beam equivalent weapons, no infra knife, no blaster...

dreadnaught fights must be a challenge

[wet sonnet]

I have everything you need to upgrade a living ship

[latent rivet]

Someone calculated that it takes half a literal year to max out a living ship.

Take with that multiple grains of salt tho whether or not its true

[wet sonnet]

That's why you gotta cheat a little and beat the system 🤣🤣

[brisk fossil]

Box ship

[strong ermine]

Just a random question , but what do you all think is the most common ship type

[orchid schooner]

fighter or sentinel

[latent rivet]

Living ships are legit the single exception to my personal rule of never using any cheats-

Fuckin’ DUPE THAT SHIT. The grind is the worst thing on god’s green earth.

[autumn iris]

Common as in player owned, or common as in found across the universe/by NPCs? If the latter, shuttles probably by a bunch

[latent rivet]

the 3 types you can get from stations, then sentinel, then ball exotic, then squid and living ship are tied

[strong ermine]

Ok I thought that the most common ships I saw were solar

[autumn iris]

if you spend a lot of time in outlaw systems, that'd make sense as 85% of solar ships and 10% of fighter/explorer/haulers are replaced with solar ships in those systems

[wet sonnet]

Yea if I didn't work 10 hrs a day or have a 4 year old some of the grind ive cheated I wouldn't have years ago

[latent rivet]

Bah its your game cousin.

My personal choice shouldn’t be other people’s choices.

However I still will joke about it out of good fun LOL

[wet sonnet]

Na I know what your saying I don't like to cheat either

[latent rivet]

I’m 23, no kids, and a job that’s sucking my life force out of my body-

At some point I’ll hit the point you hit and won’t give ANY fucks no more 😂

or I’ll completely lose the interest to play games as a whole… depends on the path ig

[wet sonnet]

Yea I'm 41 I am slowly getting to the point a barley play that and games aren't as good as they used to be to keep my attention

[latent rivet]

I grew up on NFS Carbon and Burnout Revenge. I was playing games when I was a wee toddler LOL

Still got the OG copy of Revenge. Sadly my Carbon copy went kaput last year… but I have a brand new one. OG 360 Xbox with no issues (I make sure to clean it)

god I love Burnout Revenge…

[wet sonnet]

Yea they don't make games like that used to

[exotic garden]

who's goofy ship is this 😭 ?

[zenith bolt]

Sentinel interceptor

[gray gust]

I used to have a random sentinel intercepter on a creative game

[exotic garden]

the owner tho non-verbal decieded to put up with me and show me the system where this goofball is, i got one too now

[latent rivet]

Based!

[latent rivet]

Finally found a build that feels so much more fun than infra-knife spam

but it does have the risk/reward feature bc it involves rockets.

cyclotron is awesome for shield shredding, and for general use, positron ejector.

Or if you wanna get rid of a guy right this instant, fire a rocket

[queen sandal]

I just only use positron. Less aiming 😂

I havent tried multiple positrons on a corvette, i bet thatd be fun. Multiple beams absolutely roast enemies

[latent rivet]

positron capitalizes on downed shields more is why I use cyclo with it

absolutely dunks on pirate fighters

rockets just hit like a truck so

[queen sandal]

I just often cant be bothered to switch weapons. Positron eats shields in a few hits too

[latent rivet]

that’s true if you’re close enough. It has the downside of cooking itself fast-

[quartz kindle]

does high manoeuvrability actually mean much

[latent rivet]

yeah it does

faster turn rate

[quartz kindle]

is 1.2k a good amount 😔

[latent rivet]

You’re in the average range so yeah

1.5 is higher end

[quartz kindle]

ok good cause i got a new ship and i was wondering whether i should prioritise getting it higher or lower

[golden pivot]

Any Bat Like sentinel ships ?

[autumn iris]

Kinda?

[magic snow]

i love that ship, never seen an orange exotic other than tiger squid

are those the coords for it?

i collect my pwn ships but I at least want to go and see it

[west wave]

Yea. I got another one that is the same with different logos on it

[magic snow]

wdym different logos

[west wave]

That one had better slots though. Was a 2+1+1

[magic snow]

noice

[west wave]

The accent things

On the wing

Top fin

[magic snow]

i lost the coords for the systems that i found my 2 squid ships in smh

one was deep purple color

other was sandy color

i had a base in one of them

but the save got deleted in an update a year ago smh

[west wave]

I’ve found around 10. No squid yet

[magic snow]

nice

they arent too hard to find

[west wave]

Is it like 1/20?

[magic snow]

i found those 2 in my first 10-20 hours of my old save

[west wave]

Systems

[magic snow]

idk

they just flew onto the trading post when i was doing missions i think

[west wave]

I have 4 or 5 different yellow guppies lol. All I get

[magic snow]

my advice is that since it is abt 1/25 or 1/30 go to pirate systems because 5% of ships are exotics, thats what I do when I want an exotice

[queen sandal]

I dont think thats correct

I would be happy to be wrong

[brisk fossil]

Does anybody know where I can find a ship like this?

[bleak umbra]

i think i’ve found one

i just need verification

[bleak umbra]

like this: #nms-legacy-ships message

oh nice does it do anything special though

[bleak umbra]

It's an exotic-class ship, but I don't think it has any advantage over royal exotics or cool visuals apart from looking squid-like.

If you want to know how the exotic class compares to fighters/interceptors etc, see: #nms-legacy-ships message

Every time I fire them I take phantom damage

[brave mica]

@zenith bolt I couldn't dm you but I've done some research of my own about upgrading sentinel ships, I'm not sure what it is but it seem that some ships actually lose base stats once upgraded to s class, for example, I've collected bunch of a/b class blue tank bugs, then I decided to upgrade one and I noticed that the base stats went down, so I reloaded and tried another one - same thing. it's not from a pirate system, but every ship I try to upgrade from a to s is getting the same exact end results, no matter the starting stats/class they upgrade exactly to the same numbers to the decimals. I hope I can find the native s class here to compare.

and btw, I tried upgrading at different space stations, same results, the upgrade path seems to be fixed.

[fathom trout]

Yeah that's somewhat expected that upgrading class can decrease the damage stat, due to the large amount of overlap between the damage roll ranges

[brave mica]

it's not always like that, I guess it's per ship model situation because I have red/white tanks I've upgraded and their base damage is 74-78 vs 62 on the blue one, it's just weird to see damage take such a hit after upgrade. and I think it's irrelevant to the pirate/non-pirate system nerf because this is the very bottom of the values from a non-pirate system

[fathom trout]

That's probably because that ship rolled high on the damage range, but it's S has a low damage rolled low

[brave mica]

yep could be, I still hope to get the native s class just to compare them

but now I can say that you can literally take any class you find first, upgrade it to s class and see the stats, because every other model will be identical, if it upgrades to good values then you can go look for the slots you want knowing that the stats will be identical regardless of the original class of the ship you find.

and the stats do reflect in the in-game overview, I've seen it go from like ~300 to ~240 in the visor view, so it's maybe not as accurate as the values in the save editor but they still reflect some values, for example my white bug tank shows 290 in-game and 70 in save editor, my red tank shows 306 in-game and 75 in the editor, the numbers pretty consistent, so damage > 300 in-game is good damage

[proven narwhal]

I’ve got you covered dude I might have coords for one of those

[wicked solar]

Wha?

[proven narwhal]

Does this one work

[wicked solar]

Ooooooooo I'm not looking for one rn but I might go and see!

When my fucking game starts working again

No reason why NMS should perform worse than elite on my PC 🫩

[vagrant turret]

Are all living ships S class?

[zenith bolt]

Are these low Natural S class from outlaw systems? The 2x non outlaw ones ive checked are like 79. Outlaw ones will always be low possibly, maybe cause of outlaw nerf

[fathom trout]

And so are exotics

[zenith bolt]

If they are outlaw system sentinel ships, then its to be expected that the upgraded may be higher

[vagrant turret]

Where do I find living ships and exotics?

[zenith bolt]

Exotics, any system with a space station, any landing pad

[vagrant turret]

So they must be quite rare right?

[fathom trout]

Quite rare yes

[vagrant turret]

Because I've been playing nearly 100 hours and dont think i have seen one

[fathom trout]

You know the ships that looks like squids or birds?

Those are exotic

[vagrant turret]

I know the squid ones, seen them in the anomaly

[fathom trout]

You can save on a trading outpost and try save/reloading after the first wave of ships land

Also there are systems with high likelihood of "first wave exotic"

[vagrant turret]

Right okay

And living ships, I just buy the egg with quicksilver right?

How do I then hatch it?

[zenith bolt]

Questline

[fathom trout]

And the 5 days wait is only for the first egg, all subsequent eggs is much faster, but requires 100k nanites, the first ship with the 5 days wait is "free"

[brave mica]

nope, regular system, I also have another mech tank a class I've checked and it also drops damage stats going from a to s

they have ~72-74 in a class then after upgrading it does down to 62-64

[dreamy crypt]

10k*

[zenith bolt]

So still better off with a natural S from non outlaw

Stat wise at least, maybe not taking sc slots into consideration

[dense spruce]

@wicked solar there is a blue and gold exotic with swinging wings at The interceptor there is really nice too mostly black with some blue and swinging wings also.

[wet sonnet]

Follow the starbirth quest and if you don't want wait 5 days just change the date on your system for each part can have it in like an hr n a half

[cinder folio]

Buy egg, and you have to complete a series of missions in which you build the organs (components) of the ship, the worst part is that you have to wait for each organ to "mature", which takes a day for each organ

But you can't do more than one at the same time

Don't break timers

Messing with your system clock has the potential to break every single thing that relies on a real timer. Settlements, frigate missions, farms, mines, freighter battles and time gates such as the Starbirth Quest. Just don't do it.

[wet sonnet]

I've done It on 3 characters and have had no issues

[grand tinsel]

That's terrific for you and won't be everyone's experience, I promise.

Seen it time after time, for years

That's why it says: has the potential 🙂

[wet sonnet]

It's good to know it can cause issue thought about doing it with my creature eggs

[grand tinsel]

Make backups beforehand if you can, just in case- sadly many users can't because of platform

[wet sonnet]

Yea I'm on Xbox

[grand tinsel]

If you have access to a PC, it's a play anywhere title - you could make backups that way

[wet sonnet]

I don't unfortunately I have Xbox and a switch

[grand tinsel]

I assume switch is as controlled with access to your save files

[wet sonnet]

I don't have nms on there to be honest I only got for Zelda games

[grand tinsel]

I got it for Mario

Lol

[wet sonnet]

Yea me and the wife play Mario cart deluxe and the Mario were multiple people can play at once I forget what it's called

[zenith bolt]

Reports Gleam for off topic 😬 😆

[zenith bolt]

Turquoise/Teal Sentinel Interceptor

Smol Red Rasa Fighter

[quartz kindle]

i need some help with working out what color my ship is 😭

am I the only one that thinks it’s blue

[indigo elbow]

its light purple, lol

[bleak umbra]

It's a sort of periwinkle, on the edge of purple and blue (slightly more into purple)

[quartz kindle]

periwinkle purple sounds brilliant

[vernal flume]

not the white gold dress event again.

[quartz kindle]

it looks blue

[zenith bolt]

might be purple?

[quartz kindle]

not when it lands

[latent rivet]

OOOOH that’s kinda pretty

[quartz kindle]

chameleon squid

[tall knoll]

I had a black one

On my 2023 save

Love it

😭

[zenith bolt]

not really black. more a dirty white

[tall knoll]

[latent rivet]

tbh that design is really cool for a squid ship.

[zenith bolt]

I know I went to number 8 on this list and was disappointed

prefer the lilac/purple one

nice blue

[dreamy crypt]

56?

[zenith bolt]

no clue, i thought 8 was blackest, i wasnt gonna go to every one

[dreamy crypt]

4 me both numbers look the same color

[zenith bolt]

maybe its cause its next to the white

I could check that one out, if i can remember which save has that galaxy

Thats number 8, just checked posts

[latent rivet]

first time seeing a rear like this. It actually has a moving part but it barely does move

I FOUND OUT WHAT NUKES MY SHIP SHIELDS LOL

So your enemies can also have rockets I believe…

[zenith bolt]

That is what I get at 56, doesnt look Black either to me, more purple

[zenith bolt]

Teal/Turquoise and Blue HotRod Fighter Purple Star System

Red n Black Sentinel Interceptor

[brisk fossil]

I have that ship in S-class. I got it by accident XD

[safe maple]

guys my ship is too small?

[autumn iris]

No, but also that's a corvette-class starship

which would probably fit better in #nms-corvette-discussion

[wicked solar]

That's beautiful. I wish we could remove those ugly wing thrusters from em

[magic snow]

i like the name of that galaxy lol

[latent rivet]

It’s a name of a medicine I used to take!

btw break time from transferring over my factories

so now ship hunting tiiiime

after I remove the two useless factories

[cobalt swift]

In a pirate system tying to get an S class sentinel ship and ive gotten like 10 c classes in a row, haven't seen anything above, am I just unlucky or should I move on to a new system

[autumn iris]

The odds you are observing are complete nothing burgers

it's completely normal

[cobalt swift]

Bro why is it as common to get a B class as it is to get an S class 😭

[autumn iris]

Because Outlaw Systems are weird

[cobalt swift]

Got that right

At least the units are coming in nicely ig

[cobalt swift]

If the cockpit was thinner and the bottom wings went the full length like the top it would be perfect

💔

[magic snow]

i got 2 in 2 warps :0

[cobalt swift]

?

[magic snow]

lucky ig

i alr had one tho

[cobalt swift]

You mean the small ones right, the little fighter ships

Not freighter

[magic snow]

nah pirate dreadnaughts

[cobalt swift]

Ah well I was looking for stuff more along these lines lol

[magic snow]

i saw a blue one with orange in the back that looked like that earlier

[cobalt swift]

Ye that one was actually my first ever sentinel ship, kinda proud of it but I was young and dumb and got rid of it for some reason

[magic snow]

ripp

i have a few ai carriers if u want them

[cobalt swift]

I mean im not gonna say noooo

Though I did just get this new one today i like, S class

[dense spruce]

You might be better off farming for B or A class in a three star economy (just get a bunch of inverted mirrors and some echo locators before you leave the pirate dissonant system). Put down a save before spending some nanites and a few ship cargo augmentation units to check where the rest of the supercharge slots pop - with a quick reload on any ship that isn’t good to get back the nanites and augmentations. Then scrap it for more augmentations and units.

I have S class interceptors, some with 2+2 supercharger slots and one with 3+1. I think they were all upgraded. I have found S class occasionally but they didn’t have good supercharge slot positions and weren’t great looking.

And since farming them gains millions of units, nanites, upgrades, augmentations and lots of knowledge stones, there is no wasted time. You find what you want or you make loads of almost everything in the process of looking.

[proven narwhal]

Could someone go to this planet and put a message Onto an S class one of these

[dreamy crypt]

All interceptors is system will look the same

[proven narwhal]

I know I’ve used a lot of Carrier AI fragments to try to get one of these in an s class

Highest I found was A class

[dreamy crypt]

Class can always be upgraded later

[dense spruce]

Farming the nanites to upgrade from A to S would be faster than trying to find an S sometimes.

And with nanites and a few ship augmentations you can set a save, try a lower class ship to see where its supercharge slots pop when you upgrade it and reload if you don’t get what you want - getting the nanites and augments back to try again on another one. This way you probably end up with a BETTER S class ship than just taking the first one you find because you are sick of looking by the time your first one finally drops.

[brave mica]

I really hope HG will bring the option to get these expedition ships, absolutely love this gorgeous hauler and really wish to have one, gives me serenity vibes

[autumn iris]

You could just ask for the parts in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[brave mica]

actually you can do both simultaneously, collect but don't activate the brains from the lower class ships, abandon mission and move on to the next ship, 10 brains = 2300 nanites, that's more effective than scraping and selling modules from c/b/a class ships

[brave mica]

never tried this but I might

[brisk fossil]

Black and blue interceptor

[nocturne pagoda]

Hi guys, I got a problem i claimed a ship from an expedition, but my ship archive is full already so that ship is gone can you tell me how i recover it

[hollow coral]

Can u share coordinates

[past vigil]

Reload

[sterile bison]

found this cool asf one today, first non bought ship

[candid basin]

Anyone able to NPC space station trade me any expedition ship?

[brave mica]

so that's pretty much it? no more upgrades? no other weapons? that's the best I can do with it? (except opening up couple more slots and having the shield in square)

[latent rivet]

no shot you managed to actually max it out-

but yeah its got only whatever weapons it comes with.

[muted bridge]

im pretty new to this game but all things considered this is a crazy find right?

the supercharged slots seem good and the color scheme is royal looking. first exotic ship ive ever found

[latent rivet]

not too shabby. You can get some synergies with the layout yeh

[exotic garden]

im only getting the goofy looking exotics 😭

[exotic garden]

cool spider

[orchid schooner]

Wdym those are the best, the Royals have way too much going on imo

My fav exotics are the waffle cone guppy and the one you posted but the clamshell variant

[exotic garden]

nah i like em, been driving my "goldfish" almost exclusively since ive gotten it, but still, give me an nosed one for once

[exotic garden]

i have 0 clue what those descriptions are supposed to look like

i mostely ignore exotics, just happend for that thing to spawn

they just look.. ugly

besides the goldfish, i loveee goldfish.

[orchid schooner]

Waffle cone guppy is basically like that guppy above but with the clamshell for the engine.

I am a sucker for the clamshell, it‘s my favorite part out of all the exotic ones

This is a waffle cone guppy (not mine)

In that color it‘s probably among my top 5 ships in the entire game, if not top 3. Right up there with what would be my fav living ship & interceptor

[exotic garden]

oh

like a lil lobster

[exotic garden]

ill keep u in the back of my head if ill find any offwhite goopys then

[orchid schooner]

Lol that‘s a fun comparison haven‘t heard that one before^^

[exotic garden]

im more of a shrimp guy tho, havent seen any shrimp

[orchid schooner]

It‘s grey i think but it‘s the closest to white for non-squid exotics iirc

[exotic garden]

living ships is the closest one to it ive seen

[orchid schooner]

Which ones the shrimp?

[exotic garden]

thats a question im yet to find an anwser for

but one day ill have an 🦐 .. i can promise you that

[orchid schooner]

I‘ll be happy once I have my trio of a cool ls, interceptor and a guppy like the one above completed.

My next favorite ships would all be expo ones anyways. I like some of the procedural fighters and solars too, but those generally can‘t beat the Wraith and other expo ships for me.

Only expo ship I don‘t like a lot is the Golden Vector, I think a regular alpha vector is much nicer.

[exotic garden]

ls?

[orchid schooner]

Living ship^^

[exotic garden]

ah

mb im kinda new

[orchid schooner]

Np

I have already found my fav interceptor too but it‘s not really mine, saw it on the coordinate exchange

I only want to use things I find myself though, else there will be no hunt left

[exotic garden]

yeah those are "cool", but at my friend said..

[orchid schooner]

I am kinda thinking of making like one exception and writing it somewhere down, basically like a „joker“ that allows me to use one thing from the CE…but i‘d probably not be satisfied long term and would try to find this ship (seed) myself in an undiscovered place.

[exotic garden]

collecting ships is cool but you know exactly that the one youve found yourself will be the favorite child no matter what

[cinder folio]

Hmm.....

[wet sonnet]

I have a black and red one of these

[latent rivet]

I like it!

[brisk fossil]

How do you get living ships?

[bleak umbra]

#nms-commands message

[quartz kindle]

did you know sentinel ships can hover

[autumn iris]

Because you most likely took the photo using the in-game photo capture

instead of external screenshotting methods like Steam Overlay's F12

[halcyon elk]

ah i dont have it on steam am i cooked?

[autumn iris]

No, you can just use snipping tool or whatever screenshotting method your platform allows

if on windows, Xbox Game Bar works

or just alt + prt sc to copy a screenshot of the game window, then paste wherever

[exotic garden]

steam here, ye print screen works

fount this lil thing

40 slots

[halcyon elk]

there we go solar green black hex purple wings

it spawns super quick at the station

[exotic garden]

uu that's an nice colour combo

[halcyon elk]

they spawn multiple times too so it should be somewhat easy to get a good class on it

[exotic garden]

ay7yy the wings are somewhat ruining it for me

yellow ones would contrast nice

[west wave]

Just found this doing my arena challenges

[magic snow]

nice congrats

[latent rivet]

this one is unironically hot.

I shall find a decent ship of this design!

[next magnet]

Ive been wanting the starborn phoenix for a while but i want it with a really good sc layout

[latent rivet]

Aren’t their sc slots forced in a certain layout if they’re not assembled ships like the Iron Vulture?

[latent rivet]

I removed some old sentinel ships I didn’t plan to work on-

[obtuse wigeon]

Can anyone give me a sental ship

[hollow coral]

They are fairly easy to find bro

[obtuse wigeon]

I don't even know how to find them

[autumn iris]

See this post #nms-commands message

Basically, locate a system that has dissonant planets, land on one and look for Dissonance Resonators, destroy those until you get an Echo Locator, use that to locate a Harmonic Camp, finish the puzzle on the terminal to locate a Dissonance Spike (crashed sentinel ship location)

[obtuse wigeon]

That's a lot

[latent rivet]

It’s really not.

[obtuse wigeon]

Well I'm also new to the game dude

No need to be rude

[latent rivet]

I… didn’t mean to sound rude…

Apologies 😅

[obtuse wigeon]

It's ok

I just don't know how to get it

[latent rivet]

If you’re brand new, I wouldn’t focus on it currently.

Your basic ship is pretty dang good maxed out

if you wanna get to it fast, then get a rifle and a neutron cannon.

Try to set up the neutron cannon on a supercharged slot, as well as its adjacent upgrades that you can get. The main weapon tech and the other upgrades must be adjacent of each other to get a bonus

[magic snow]

i would butim not on latest update

[obtuse wigeon]

What

[latent rivet]

It is a lot, ik-

Kinda just tinker around before heading into those areas, unless you’re confident on your ability to flee

[obtuse wigeon]

Well I'm not too new but I just don't know how to find those planets

[magic snow]

do u play on console or pc

[obtuse wigeon]

Console

[magic snow]

PS or xbox

[obtuse wigeon]

Ps

[latent rivet]

If you scan using your ship in space, while hovering over planets, it should show up information on the planet.

As for finding dissonant planets, start at the galaxy map and find a star system that lists “dissonant” in its description.

From there just follow the scan method

[magic snow]

i cant help you then yet sorry im on an older version of the game

[obtuse wigeon]

Oh

[random pagoda]

ps 4 and 5 are on different versions

I’m boutta head to bed personally and am a good bit away from Euclid-

[magic snow]

im on pc but use an xbox save

microsoft taking their sweet time, rip nintendo users

[latent rivet]

nintendo will get their shit together wednesday at best.

[dense spruce]

Interceptors make orange look good

[brave mica]

this is actually a very cool ship, and the short tail single engine... only if it had gold markings I'd keep it, nonetheless, looking real good

[latent rivet]

It just sucks that orange is the most common color-

[dense spruce]

Tiny orange flea. The back reminds me of a tiddlywink frog toy.

[latent rivet]

Even ships that aren’t predominantly orange still like to be associated with their tangerine brothers…

omg it does.

I know what that toy is! It used to be common in those dentist bags after your appointment LOL

Nude ships like that are also very rare so good find!

[dense spruce]

I'm good with orange. It suits the ships pretty well. But this would be a great looking ship if it didn't have nothingy beige. Swap it for almost any other colour and it would be a banger.

[latent rivet]

I am actually the opposite

Was looking for beige

but… that style isn’t for me

[dense spruce]

each to their own I guess

[latent rivet]

I like how we ended up being polar opposites in sentinel ship taste 😂

[proven narwhal]

I have a flea that has tank legs I have the coordinates not the ship itself

[latent rivet]

now that’s kinda cute LOL

[dense spruce]

Why Hello Games? Why? That is more than a quarter of the usual interceptor field of view gone

nice looking ship though if you fly in follow cam mode

[dense spruce]

This is the weirdest Interceptor I have ever seen. A tiny body with big wings and a jet powered surfboard.

[orchid schooner]

Flea dragonfly, I like them even better with just one engine

[dense spruce]

Yea the base plate with two engines that only attaches at a small contact point is the weirdest part

It is also the first bright green interceptor I have seen

[brave mica]

guess it's silver markings day

[prisma rapids]

How do you make thoose special ships, keep seing them but thoose are not corvettes and not regular ships since i cant find thoose peices so how? Mod?

[prisma rapids]

How do you make thoose special ships, keep seing them but thoose are not corvettes and not regular ships since i cant find thoose peices so how? Mod?

[wet sonnet]

They are exotic ships you find them in the wild

[prisma rapids]

Att like space stations?

@wet sonnet

[wet sonnet]

Yea or outposts on planets

[wet sonnet]

Go to a 3 star economy systems they spawn like crazy for me at the space station in these systems
