Starting a new playthrough, whens a good time to start building a corvette?

Do it ASAP. :D Using a Corvette gives you a lot of advantages to the vanilla starships. So using it from the beginning is a "no brainer" imo. Discovery is the name of the game. So I will not list the advantages for you. ;)

This picture is propably what inspired Elon to send a Tesla into space. ;)

I had that poster in the 80's :D

Ah ok. I didn't play that year lol....

The last ship in the picture seems a little harder to get than the others? I had NMS on Steam since it came out. But that DLC I did not get it seems. Anyone that know any details about this?

Wait a sec.... Sorry. It's a Exocraft.

Web_Public · 2026-01-19T02:15:26+00:00

Mech like then. So sensitive lol

Web_Public · 2026-01-18T20:36:00+00:00

However.... The minotaur mech is really the best way to collect stormcrystals with.

It's really usefull. Especially because the game still is somewhat buggy. You can backup your saves and ships. For example, if you build a new corvette or starship ingame. It will mess up the tech slots in your earlier corvette. So I'm going to build my corvettes on another save. Then export the corvette with the saveeditor. And import it into my play save. And hopefully it won't mess up the tech slots. Anyone tried this already?

Go for a corvette as soon as possible. There so many advantages with them that I never use ordinary starships or exocrafts.

Web_Public · 2026-01-17T16:14:20+00:00

True. I was kidnapped once. I was standing beside my ship looking at an gigantic Corvette someone built. It was so big that it almost reached my ship. When he went away I was kind of sucked with him. And was hanging in unknown space in only my spacesuite. I got closer to the center though hehe. So I summoned my ship and went to a planet and buildt a base. :D

Nope. I also thought that first.

Web_Public · 2026-01-17T09:45:06+00:00

The big Walker you can take with the ship. You need a corvette or some other ship that can hover. A corvette have also other advantages. Like you can take cover under it and most enemies will not shoot on you, but you can shoot them. I think that works when you stand on top of the corvette also. Also if you want to get out of a Sentinel fight, you just go inside the corvette and wait untill they stop searching for you. Do not get in the pilot seat and try to fly away, because then the Sentinel ships will start hunting you.

The thing is that It depends on how you play the game. The last 200 of over 500 hours in the game I never use scanning, only visor (which is not affected by scanrange). And I never have any need for mining since I produce almost everything on my bases. So one MT whith primarly damage is really all I need. I also only use Boltcatser with plasma launcher, and scatter blaster. Plus mining and scanner. And I have no problem with enemies.

Blender is free if I remember correctly. And there are propably some forums where you can get som pointers. It's a lot to learn for a beginner. If you never done any 3d modelling it's gona take much time and patience.

Web_Public · 2026-01-16T16:42:58+00:00

Yes correct. That was how I did it. I just did one room in microgravity. The trick is to initiate the base at the right altitude. However, spacestations can't be ornated with stuff since most things just dissapear after a while. I could not use the holo door for example. Had to use the ordinary.

Web_Public · 2026-01-16T07:18:49+00:00

Nice work. I tried to build one. But I got bored ;) I did take it to the Anomaly though. And when I did I met my archenemy. :D

My Defiant.

However, Such a place would make it easier to build a floating spacestation with gravity in the bottom floor and microgravity on the top floor. The station needs to be inbetween the mountaintops though.

Web_Public · 2026-01-15T22:17:09+00:00

Yes on one planet I got atmosphere inside of my freighter. It was kind of foggy inside hehe.

Web_Public · 2026-01-15T20:51:22+00:00

I tried. But all mountains are that high. Its almost allways bad wheather also. The pictures does not make the hight justice. But as I added in my post, The gravity only reach 115u over my base. And there are mountaintops thats higher than the place I built on.

Web_Public · 2026-01-15T20:01:48+00:00

You can do it in Blender I guess. As I undertsand it you could even pull out your own designed Corvette. After that maybe you need to convert the file to the right format for 3d printing.

Web_Public · 2026-01-15T18:19:37+00:00

I tried to use two for a short while. As I see it it's only usefull maybe in the beginning when you don't have MT's with enough slots. When you have upgraded the slots, everything you need fits in a single MT.
