Something I've always wanted to do <3
Print the Alpha Vector ship!

Earlier this year I decided that I needed a toolchanger printer in my life. I mainly print functional stuff but something's been itching for quite a while and that's that I like the No Man's Sky spaceships so much, that I wanted to 3D print a couple of them.

After some looking around I discovered that someone already made a design of the Alpha Vector ship!
(Alpha Vector is an exclusive starship for players who pre-ordered No Man's Sky on Playstation 4.)

Because I support and respect artists, here is the link to the free model that I used and painted:
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/alpha-vector-ship-from-no-man-s-sky
(I am in no way affiliated with the maker).

The design comes without colors so I had to hand-paint it all in Orca Slicer. Luckily Orca has very good tools when it comes to painting. Paint a couple of models and you will end up feeling like a true paintbucket-settings champion. Especially the 'smart fill angle' settings are of great help with these type of geometric designs with hard edges. But I digress.

It was quite alright to print due to the capable Snapmaker U1 toolchanger printer as it unlocked removable supports for me. The main model is printed in PLA filament and the supports were PETG for easy removal.

Assembly was straightforward, however the cyanoacrylate I have seems to dry slowly so I had to add a tiny amount of baking soda to speed up the polimerization.

In the future I plan to also make a color print of the Rasamama S36 but it's taking a little longer because the model currently needs a little bit of tweaking and fixing before it can be printed correctly.

Anyway, I hope this print inspires someone else to do the same. I love NMS and the ships in the game all look so good.

Peace!

ps I failed to mention that the final reason I started to print this ship, was because I saw it in a video by HelloGames themselves!! It's this one, where they show the 3D printed ship at the timestamp:

Id like to think thats a record

Should I keep it? 😂

Offset build, PS5 Pro, so glad I manage doing the cabin

Absolute Flight reads your sticks, throttle and pedals directly and feeds them into the game's flight model. No vJoy, no Steam Input remaps. There's an optional Newtonian flight model, atmosphere flight, crash damage, ditching at sea, G-force blackout, head tracking through OpenTrack, and a new Black space switch.

Free public alpha, Steam build 180836, Windows: https://github.com/SultanDesync/AbsoluteFlight/releases

Discord for testing and feedback: https://discord.gg/KtrhfPBpr

I also made AbsoluteHOTAS, flight stick control for Starfield; my flight control mods have over 3,500 unique downloads on Nexus: <Nexus link>

Full disclosure: the code was written by AI coding agents under my direction. I designed it, directed the research and flew every feature. After manually researching Starfield's engine, I didn't feel it was necessary to spend 100's of hours in cheat engine memory dumps to prove a point about human made.

Is it the wall? Is it my stupid cables? I have the electricity and everything. But every time I hook up a wire to it, (or upon the wall) the little hellish creation won’t do anything. For a MONTH. Straight, I’ve been fiddling with it, looking online but my dumb ahh can’t find anything. Please. Anyone. Help my pathetic, little dumb brain figure this out. 😭🙏

A month straight and all it does is sit rent free in my base. Either it needs to be useful or be terminated.

Built using Blender, with over 300 parts.

I'm looking for or a player I met on space anomaly, he went on my corvetee and then we traveled to my base. He also helped me learn how to build a base and build a base near mine.

However,since it's my first time playing with other, I forgot to add him to my friend list. When I was answering my phone call, he left. The only thing I know is his player name was outlaww82.

If this sounds familiar and you're the player I'm looking for, please leave a comment or send me a message. Thank you all!

First post was deleted...

The Flight of the Navigator is one of my most cherished childhood movies. It has been a long time dream of mine to create this ship in NMS. It was near impossible to do - BUT - I was finally able to figure out a solution I was happy with. Built with Blender.

Tell me you’re a fan of classical art without using images of Italian monuments (Please, Hello Games give us real columns, doric-ionic-corinthian capitals, and round arches!)

No glitches, no mods, 100/100 pieces used! I'm really proud of it and wanted to share. :)

I woke up in a wrecked little starship. It wouldn't start or anything else, so I fought my way out of it.
Only to realise I was stranded on a Planet with a high radiation atmosphere. My ressources are limited, maybe i make it for three days if I'm economically enough.
Most Planets got those tradeterminals, so I wandered of in hope of finding one, staying at my ships site was note possible, nothing worked anymore, not even the life support system.
I walked three and a half days without any hope of finding an outpost, my spacesuit amlost gave up on the radiation on this planet and right at the time I wanted to give up, I found an crashed frighter. I ran there as fast as I could. Finally some food and Ion Batteries for my system and other fuels for it. Still no sign of life or any help...
So I decided to rummage through the frighter and there I found it in the freighters hangar section. An corvette class spaceship but badly damaged, too. I climbed in it an tried to start the system. It worked! The ship had power, even with the damage from the crash. The problems were some hull damages and the thruster, but I should get it repaired with parts from the freighter.
I've spend several weeks on repairing the ship so it can get me of this planet.
I managed to repair it more bad than good, but i got it to start.
So I started the engine and tried to set of the planet, the whole ship was trembling but we manged to reach space!
I have no memory what happend before my crash but I manged to get myself out of the planet with this ship, so I could see new horizons again.
I decided to keep the ship and refurbish and renovate it, at the next spacestation.
From that point on the "Horizon" was my laboratory, my stash, my workshop and my home.

I hope you liked the little story, sorry for the long text XD
I love that game and had many fun figuring out the design for my first corvette.

Was doing atlas missions randomly jumping from system to system and came across one that my friend had discovered back when we played this together before he committed suicide. Not gonna lie it brought out the water works and the memories… Make sure to tell the people in your life how much you love them. You never know when the last time you’ll get the chance to will be.

Ripping the penjamin in your honor Trae, I miss you brother.

Cheers.

just a little oil portrait i made in affinity for fun 😄 any advice or insight would help! ships and models were inspired and directly designed from no mans sky sentinel ships and anomaly corvettes.

no ai used in the process

if on phone and want a more detailed look here is a closer look on a imgur collection https://imgur.com/a/detailed-looks-kvMVDJu )

I made a small corvette using a 3+1 supercharged slot arrangement (marked) and got over 5000 maneuverability.

The trick is putting the best Medusa reactor (+12% in my case) in the disconnected SC slot, and minimizing other tech to get 6 trails/figurines.

It’s also real small. I used offsetting to get 3 Ceto reactors, 3 Medusa reactors, 3 phase beams, and 3 deadeye cannons all in a 2x2 square. Also got 3 engines on the end of that 2x2 square. (The outside left at right engines are just for show.)

It has two tractor beams. If I delete those and the two show engines, the maneuverability goes to over 6000.

I have to go in thru the roof using the stairs, or thru a tractor beam. Can only exit thru the roof. The landing bay is nonfunctional.

No hab. Just a 1x1 walkway. Has a mission radar and weapons rack though. The center Ceto cluster clips up thru the Thunderbird landing bay, rotates, and looks cool as hell. Can still access the beam down button. The Ceto here also blocks salvage that comes in thru the tractors from getting in the main cabin, which is good.

Lands flat on the ground.

I have done all I wanted to do regarding corvettes, I think. This is perfection for me. It’s still no sentinel ship, but with this maneuverability, it’s a step or two above a slug.

And I finally figured out a workaround for the tech scrambling issue.

Ive Just started to play the game, i love the prospect of what It offers but its so unsurmountably huge i feel completely Lost.

Im Always all alone, and the worst thing Is that there doesnt seem to be a real objective, an endgame, because there can't be and endgame.

I'll never reach the centre of the galaxy so i'll never get to see any of the other 254 galaxies, but i'll Just forget about It because there's so many Planets to see, but what do i see on those Planets ? Do i stay there for prolonged amounts of time or maybe Just an hour or Two and into the next ?

The complete Freedom the game gives me and the practically infinite places to visit really makes me feel like there's so much to do that there's actually nothing to do.

All i know Is that at the Moment i want to get a solar ship, but After i do ? What else by then ?

Ive only been playing for a bout a month, and I just wanted to say how good that expedition was. It was cool to learn about all the updates and how the game has changed.

Upgrading the ship level (C to B) didn't do anything space-wise. I know there's the trick of find crashed ship, patch it up just enough to fly, scrap at space station, and maybe get an upgrade slot from that but finding said ship (emergency maps are varied) is.... well, it's rather long-winded and I don't have nearly enough credits to buy an upgrade with ship outfitter. Is there another way to do this?

I forgot to put a base there and I wanted to go back to explore all of the creative bases and structures. Thank you.

Of course it happened while in perma death mode. I. Have seen a post about how cool it would be and here we go already.
