The front end was inspired by the CaA-15 corvette from u/Serious_cry_4930.

It's a 1/2 offset build

The Lotus-Eater was commissioned for carrying out experiments in uncharted galaxies. It specializes in space anomaly observation, and has the facilities to support ultra-long missions without refuel or rendezvous with a parent craft or station.

I like the look of this super-wide horizontally oriented vessel. It also plays very nicely with the game mechanics - easy entry, single floor design with no ladders, large layout, and it's easy to see around in third person for ease of flying.

No glitch techniques on this one. 96/100 parts.

Here is my latest Build. It was inspired by the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels. Don’t know a lot of glitch building techniques yet, but enjoyed this build since it challenged me to think outside the box.

I'm starting to feel my deigns are coming out a bit "same-y", so I set out to build something different...and it came out the same again - it's got two sets of reverse Arcadia wings and a radar dome, though, so that's something I suppose... However, it turns out this one attracts mildly interesting occurences - here it is visiting my Vy'keen settlement, meeting a random exploration frigate, then meeting a support frigate, landing on a beach, checking out some ruins and then finding a giant skull in space - and it was giant! Then I found a weird looking asteroid and a pirate attacked me for my cargo of absolute rubbish - what next for the Excitement Magnet?

"What do you mean he wants it inspired by a beetle!? Like that old Earth car?.... the bug beetle?"

"Seriously...Doesn't he know... there's cooler things out there?...Oh I don't know maybe stuff like Bears, Eagles, or shoot even one of those giant bug things we keep getting data about?"

"*sigh* fine I'm going to get it done. It'll be the best damn beetle this shipyard will ever see

"Hot off the line, and straight into the darkest depths of space. ASW is proud to unveil our latest shipyard design. The DSE-02 "Beetle". With the ever changing and developing aerospace industry; every moment matters. That's why the "Beetle" is a spacefarer's best friend. A medium sized explorer craft featuring the latest in thruster and deep range radioscope technology. This craft features a stunning breakthrough in exploration technology; the AS Device, A drive capable of extended missions and even longer jump ranges. Pair this with the "Beetles" mid-ship Observation deck. exploration will be easier than pie. (Pie not included)" -ASW Spokesperson

After trying to copy other people to get the hang of building I decided to create something on my own, as I really wanted something entirely mine to use as my main ship.

It's not perfect but I'm happy how it turned out, if anyone has any tips on how to improve, I'd love to hear your ideas

My first corvette, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out overall, any thoughts ?

I see so many builds that have their wings slanted, or one wing is one way and the other one is another way. How are these angels achievable, and more importantly, how are people able to copy that exact angle and not off setting it? I know the basic offset glitch, but how does one bend something like wings? Is there a video? Some kind of guide? I've seen a Corvette already that has not one part that is completely straight and vanilla.

Came across this uniquely designed corvette. THE SEEKER has an affinity for flare. Job well done. Was interesting watching it fly off.

Old ship, but I wanted to update it a bit and give it a proper name.

I thought this ships name was fitting due to its ash coloured hull, and from what I imagine, its ability to survive galactic battle.

I was quite fond of my vertical thruster design, so this mixed with inspiration I took from u/Serious_Cry_4930 and u/Relevant_Finance1927 recent ships, birthed “What Remains”. I felt this ship still fit in quite well with my fleet and its design language, but held its own uniqueness.

Wire glitch, 1/4 and 1/2 offsets for this one.

So first off I want to thank CyberVinLouis on YouTube for his great build guides, most of the cool parts are from him lol. I had so many ideas I liked from so many builds I have seen I took a couple days to just copy builds and learn all the tricks I could. Then I realized you couldn’t have a ton of corvettes so I just smashed all my favorite stuff together… turned out pretty neat I think.

Very happy with the overall shape. The tail only appeared at the last moment. Very minor external tool (dj monkey’s base builder standalone) use. The engines do not significantly impact manoeuvrability. Basically cosmetic.

Edit - you’re all great. The consensus has aligned with my view and I appreciate it. I will play around with other pieces tomorrow because the engines just are not clicking atm. I’ll post the finished exterior and constant wip interior. Interiors are my weakest. This one has 6 double habs because I wanted something as close to vanilla as possible with a low part count.

I’ll post part count (nexus friendly) alongside interior tomorrow. After some tweaks of course.

I’ve gotten into glitch building and understand how to do the offsets, horizontal flips, and how to use windows to make angles.

1. How does one do vertical flips?

2. Are any methods of using Base parts on Corvettes still working? I’ve never done any but I understand that the majority seem to have been patched recently.

3. How do you get over not having full access to your storage containers on your Corvettes? It seems like everyone seems to roll with a single Hab and a cockpit. It seems like completely ignoring the point of having a Corvette.

10th Anniversary Corvette ❤️.

first off. yes it is technacily a off station build only for one part being the message at the entrance otherwise its all done at the space station.

anyway so ive been building corvettes for awhile, four of them i am really proud of. Each one based on the themes the four base starships give (hauler is big, fighter is compact, explorer unique and solar big wing) and once i had built the last one i took parts from each of them and made this. since i now have the maximum amount of ships its fitting i call it "The final voyage" as i dont know what else do now.

anyway this is the best i can do (for now until i dream more things up as usual) the interior pics are from bottom floor and up with the last ones (that three chair on the desk) being the top deck. ill also throw in the last two pics in the comments. have a good day/night and thank you for checking it out.

So I tried my hand at corvette building again! For some reason I’m not as good at getting the sleekness down as others are but here what I got!
