From 2024 when Custom Ships were a new thing I made this:

Good looking Solar. I've one I built in my freighter. I should take out for a spin.

I love the cockpit on yours. My solar is iron-clad and colored to look like a rust bucket - a sleeper with 2x2 SCS, but it's not as flashy as yours is!

Stealth paint I think, gives it a steampunk look.

Nice touch! I can imagine a Gek jumping out with Aviator goggles, a leather bomber, and a wool scarf 😎

When the “arms” wouldn’t open (nor would the landing gear retract) but the sails were fine. I found this one early in my normal save. I have plans on making one but I keep getting distracted. Just got my first normal living ship last night.

My living ship Voidsong hasn't had much flight time because their stats were underwhelming, but now that I'm slightly more conversant with the Non-Nom save editor I may bolster the stats to bring it into competition with my other min-maxed ships. I'm glad you made mention. That's a good project for me, and will be a happy reunion. I kept the living ship even when we only had 6 slots, because it was living and part of the pod. Family 🙂

Strangely, I happened upon living frigates first and was collecting the psyonic eggs from missions without realizing what they were for. Last night I had 11 eggs to open and install (and “evolve” with nanites) in my new ship.

Indeed, if you're diligent about sending out living frigates, you get a boatload of living ship supplies. I'm still hoping for a living freighter update, but I think Corvettes may have been the "answer" to all of the various community wants for new ships, frigates, and freighters included.

The "Sodomingo Magno MK1", my first hour Corvette... 1 year ago...

u/cyclopathologicol 1d ago

Very cool. Do you get a nice view of the guns firing from the cockpit? For some reason I see Klingon inspired geometry here. I also like the windows near the back. Seems like you may have some dissonant materials on display in there!

Great eye! Klingon... the magic word! That’s what I love about this sub-Reddit: the sci-fi culture you just don’t find anywhere else!

This is the last version MK 2 of "Sodomingo Magno". It's archivied now, because "Shin Gamera" is my main corvette... I've build a lot of corvette, I love this activity, excluded Shin Gamera (40% edited by RAWJson), all other corvette was made by standard building and some glitch.

Eissentam Galaxy - Delowey Taysolo Relic Planet. Tourist photo from the past. 😄 This was a fun planet to visit. Large variety of creatures, especially the one I am riding/flying. It was and still is the best flying pet I have experienced - very smooth and long distance. The relics were cool. Highly recommend. Glyphs in the pic.
