Ship designer

[≽(✿ ˃ᆺ˂)≼]

I know this game is about having random generated things, but I am tired of having ugly ships. A ship designer would be appreciated.

If you would like to find really beautiful ships you certainly can. You should join The GekNip Gang Discord. They have tons and tons of ships and multifools - not to mention they are an absolutely fabulous group of ppl, they play a bunch of different games -- though they were founded on NMS. https://discord.gg/fyttC2

Procedural Generation doesn't fit with a 'designer', you have to move around and buy what you like, simple as that. But you can use NMS Save Editor to chose a specific 'Seed' for your ship, this will not be a design because it can also be found in the game - at least in theory, but you will certainly find faster what you like.

I know it doesn't really fit the procedural generation thing, but not everyone wants to search super long for a ship that fits their requirements. Besides a ship designer function would be optional, so if you don't wan't to use it, you can simply just ignore it.

It would already be great to have a simple ship customizer, like with exocraft, to change hull colors and maybe the exhaust flame color.

As for a ship designer, it *maybe* could work by creating predefined joints where parts can be removed or attached, like simply swapping out one wing for another. This, however, would surely require alot of work to do for every ship in the game, for every part that would be replaceable.

In my opinion, this would certainly be possible, however I dont see it happening anytime soon if Beyond really is the last major update, unless Beyond drops the biggest surprise update ever and implements this into the game.

Depends on whether you want discovery or instant gratification.

The intended way is to explore the universe and if you see something you like, you hang around that system for a while to get the grade you want.

The instant gratification way is to go on reddit (or elsewhere) and look up the ship you want, find the seed for that ship/freighter and edit you save file.

I would like some options to upgrade ships (or frigates, freighters, multitools) however i dont think we'll be seeing that. Maybe if the game goes long enough they might decide its a good idea.

we need this... currently the best fighters come in only 1 style with minor variation, and explorers have to have a beer keg to be maxed out ... all the pretty ones are like 19 slotters. You should not have to hack a saved game to get something nice. The original game was better in that regard, before the ABCS class thing any ship could have max slots so you could get great stuff (but only own one).

Pick a ship; plant the seed w SaveEdit. No more whimpering

I could go for this. Assemble the ship you want out of pre-made parts. Like they did with bases. By the time you are wanting the "perfect ship" you should have all the resources you want and tons of cash. I wouldn't care if they made it "really" expensive in terms of resources and cash to design and build your own "perfect" ship. It would be yet another thing to do in the end game. They could extend that even further to freighters, frigates, and multitools. Even to the point where in order to do that you have to first construct your own "VERY" expensive ship yard or in the case of the multi tool your very own manufacturing facility.

I like to look through found ships at the sites below until I find one that catches my eye. Then I portal in and the hunt begins. Kinda a fun and rewarding thing to do in its own right. Although I would like a tool or some in game means to alter ships.
https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Starship
Here under Archetypes you'll find locations of found ships with pictures.Not a fantastic catalog but it's something.
https://portalrepository.com/search-database/
Portal Repository is great site for ship shopping. Again just search for type and filter by galaxy.
https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/
The NMS Coordinate Exchange is another (frequently) updated place I recommend to window shop before the hunt begins.

IDK about the whimpering part but this works well too if you don't mind manipulating the game with tools outside the game.

Also I know what you mean about "ugly". I'm in Eissentam and it may just be my luck cuz I know with 998,957,222,663,790,296 / 200,000,000,000 Star systems per galaxy I'm just scratching the surface. But I swear there's the fugliest haulers here. I've actually started collecting pics of them.
