The information on this page was put together with help from other great NMS corvette builders. We actively discuss builds, bugs, and techniques together on NMS - Creative & Sharing Hub>Ship>Corvette to keep everything accurate and up to date.

Edit your Corvette - The fastest way to copy and modify
Learn the fastest way to copy, edit, and replace your Corvette in No Man’s Sky.
In this video I show how to use NMS Corvette Optimizer, BaseBuilderApp, and Blender to modify your Corvette safely and reload it back into the game.
Dual Cockpit Systems
In this video, I show how to build a dual cockpit in your corvette. Different setups are covered, including small cockpits and two cockpits in a single view. Step-by-step tips make it easy to follow.
For Blender help and tips, check out the Discord topic by ChefZiggy. He shares a collection of the most useful Blender plugins for building corvettes and explains building techniques in Blender. There are many plugins out there, but not all are relevant. His list is a great starting point once you get comfortable in Blender.

Do's (Handy building tips by the community)
These are core building mechanics
- If multiple cockpits are used, the first cockpit in the order is the camera cockpit and the second cockpit is the enter/exit cockpit.
- If multiple landing bays are used, the highest landing bay in the order becomes the active beam-up destination and the beam up landing bay must be no smaller then 0.058
- Short-range teleporters must be placed below landing bays, otherwise beam-up will not work.

Save Beacons
There icons will get everywhere and clutter up your screen
Base or freighter refinery
These are glitchy in-game and filtered out by the Service Bot. Use Corvette refineries instead, they work fine.
Nutrient Processor
These can make your ship fly through a space station or anomaly, or make the camera rotate strangely.
And also filtered out by the Service Bot.
Fossil display stands, settlement ship upgrade stations, and other interactive settlement objects
These can make your ship fly through a space station or anomaly, or make the camera rotate strangely.
Message modules (Communication Orbs)
These are not always downloaded by the Service Bot, messages may not display, and they constantly trigger notifications while placing them.
Geobays (Exocraft bays)
These are blocked by the Service Bot and are very glitchy. Exocrafts placed in them may not spawn correctly or can fall through the corvette.
Terminals in corvettes
Interacting with terminals to spawn NPCs can cause black screens or crashes. NPCs only spawn from terminals sized 0.025 or larger; anything smaller will not spawn NPCs. NPCs work only for the player who spawns them and are best viewed while the ship is landed; otherwise, they rotate with the ship and appear flat.
Landing bay and short-range teleporter bug
If short-range teleporters in the JSON order are above the landing bay, the landing bay won’t allow beam-up while floating in the air on a planet. To fix this, place the landing bay first and then the short-range teleporters, or adjust the JSON so the landing bay is above the teleporters.
Base storage boxes
You cannot quickly move items with Base Storage-boxes. Use Corvette Storage-boxes instead, which allow fast item transfer.
What you can do is make a corvette storage rack really small and place them inside a base storage box, both open the same box or anywhere else on the ship just to use fast transfer
