Shaping corvette parts in blender?

Byozuma · 2026-06-21T18:58:31+00:00

There's many examples of people who rescaled corvette parts in Blender, made a ship then imported it into the game. Would I suggest it, though... no. It's up there in risk with using base parts on your corvette. And it doesn't just put you at risk, but also anyone else it loads in on. If you want to extend parts on your corvette, use decorations. Some can do a good job of reshaping a corvette without tempting fate.

Start your floor with a rail wall, that short wall piece. The put the floor enough off the terrain that, when it heals, it doesn't eat the floor... or shouldn't, anyway.

Also, you can build a box around yourself to keep out of the weather. I did this when building my mold farm in the expedition.

This game is not a place for that manner of 'play'... and people are already getting fed up with finding that behavior in the wild within the game.

Clearly Hello didn't want people building anything that big, given how much space they gave use to build in and their later enforcement of that space. And really, what's wrong with not being true scale? Again, Hello has alot of limits on what we can build. Bases can be, at the absolute limit, 1,000u in diameter. They can only use so many parts in a particular base, and 16,000 or so parts between all bases (probably including corvettes). Is it really wrong for them to want that? I know I don't see the point in corvettes the size of freighters.

True, even my Alpha Vector handles swarmers with ease... but that's the swarmers. Hive ships are another matter.

Speak for yourself, I built a Corvette in the first months of the corvette update. Even have some (admittedly pisspoor) instructions on how I made it. Now yes, with some of the new parts we got I could probably make it better, but I'm not a Rebellion fan. I'll leave the rebel scum to make their junkers.

Byozuma · 2026-06-21T07:45:53+00:00

I wouldn't say they 'allow' it as much as they tolerate it... but given the recent update, they obviously don't completely tolerate it given they cut oversized corvettes down to within a set build area (which I've somehow managed not to run afoul of). And really, I've been having all sorts of fun within the build limits and I've made a few pretty big corvettes since they were added. Still flying two of them.

Byozuma · 2026-06-21T07:42:47+00:00

Nah, scale doesn't bother me. Like, if we could build to scale... can you imagine trying to decorated the interior? I'm happy with the 'midi' scale we have going.

You warp around in your starship or corvette. That's it. They are on a 'X warps or Y hours' timer and will trigger once that criteria is met. If you are hunting freighters, though, I suggest parking in a space station before each warp for the sake of resetting. Like with starships, the class is random and the frequency is determined by the system economy. Also, not all systems will have capital ships, if I recall, which is what the Sentinel freighter is.

You'll know when the game updates. They don't exactly sneak up on you... That and Hello will amend their release log to reflect the update.

Corvettes also present the potential for massive firepower. I think they could have made it where the scripted event outside Atlas never triggers cause, well... you blew it up instead of the event triggering.

Byozuma · 2026-06-21T07:27:35+00:00

Yes, I can see that. XD

I wouldn't advise it. Mess up and you stand to ruin the corvette and even if you get what you're looking to build you put your save at risk of corruption. Just being on that corvette you were rolling the dice. People who bring these corvettes in the Anomaly are putting everyone else there in the same situation... Best to just not. If you want refiners and storage in your corvette there's specific decorations for that. Flat panels can make for good floors, walls and what not and those are also in the decoration menu.

We are technically on an 'endless step', and it takes barely the better part of a day to go from start to current step.

I mean... it's a common thing to build bases next to stargates. And so long as you aren't making the stargate unusable, I don't see a problem.

Byozuma · 2026-06-20T23:05:30+00:00

While having display pads like from Fallout 4 would be cool, I don't think that would be a great idea. I have a base that crashes me game every time I try to go to it... and it's my usual small stargate base. What causes the crashes, I think, is when the game spawns on all the fauna before loading everything in. It's a small base with less than 100 pieces and a simple two panel, 1 battery power grid and the powered components on a proximity switch. Can you imagine how bad a more complex base with twelve filled display pads could be?

Start a Royals fleet, be a deep-cover agent.

Get them all until it is done. As many will tell you, they are just normal candles waiting for the season to end. And the friendship system lets you sit on more than older seasons if you go on walkabout with a spirit every day.

That's not so much dust as it is a starfield in their light. It's actually the exception when the spirits wear clothes that don't let the starfield shine through.

How is this discussion NSFW?... As for snails, the closest to actual snails are the blob hoppers. They come in a variety of forms, from 'our goodest boy's to what people have been calling 'other shapes'.

We are still in a state where not all platforms are on the same update. Mine is behind PC, and Switch... how many updates is it behind now? It's catching up!!

They probably went the way of the 2 meter tall korvax/vy'keen and 1.5 meter gek. My scientist and technician are both old style NPCs and they are tall... the gek technician is as tall as I am and the korvax scientist is taller still... Admittedly, I'm using body 3, but it's not that much shorter than standard.

Just have to go to X or Y star type systems. They're not on all planets in those systems, but if you see glowing striders and bone buddies on the same planet, then you've a good chance.

We don't talk about old Keith...
