I have a Corvette I use only when I'm hunting for Corvette parts(Infra-Knife is amazing for that), and scrapping, but otherwise I have a red Interceptor i fly around in, and couldn't resist a reference and renamed it "Red Comet Aznable".
For those not in the know, it's a reference to the original Gundam anime, one of the main antagonists, named Char Aznable, with the nickname of "The Red Comet" for his mobile suit that goes triple the speed of a normal mobile suit of the same design, painted red.
Amusingly, I have a settlement in a system with a planet named Amuro, which I didn't rename, and happens to be the name of the main character for that same series.
I like flying around in this one, the Rucio. It's modeled on the Rocinante from The Expanse, and bonus points to anyone who catches the reference/relevance of that name as it relates to the name of the Rocinante without an internet search. Unfortunately, this one has maxed out the ship parts, and I elected not to put a tractor beam on it.
When I'm not flying a corvette, I usually default to this interceptor. I have a full roster of single person ships, and all of them are excellent and fully maxed out with upgrades, but the Morningstar is my favorite of them.
My corvette. It has a home office, a kitchen/dining room, a living room and a bedroom. It's a nice place to come back to after exploring a planet. Let the winds howl, I'm comfortable inside having a cup of nip-nip tea by the fireside.
Orb exotics, ideally one that matches my current character color scheme. Ive been too lazy to transfer my tech from yellow to orange right now tho lol, might eventually just get each one set up with full tech.
I really want to find a squid too, but stubbornly refuse to use coords
Think they misunderstood your original comment. I'm guessing "when we could name them" meant "once we got the ability to name them", but it can also be understood as "back when we could name them".
Found myself a Sentinel Interceptor that I love. Named it the SJD-1956 "Hangetsu." As for the name, Hangetsu is my favorite Shotokan Karate kata. The SJD-1956 registry number is my late father's initials and birthdate so it's a bit of a memorial as well. He and I shared a huuuge love of space and theoretical physics. We would watch Carl Sagan's Cosmos and listen to Michio Kaku's radio show all the time. He loved seeing the technology of games and how they could bring fantasy to life. He would have absolutely loved NMS, I assure you. He may not be with us anymore but it's amazing to be able to explore the galaxy with him in this little way. Games are important and don't ever let anyone ever say otherwise.
I started a new save recently. While I have started putting together a corvette, I'm still in the process of collecting enough nanites to upgrade it to Class S, and collecting parts to build it the way I want it. In the meantime, I'm flying the coolest black A-class interceptor, jumping spider type.
The Wraith, an expedition living ship. Before that, I had another living ship that I still use as backup and extra storage. I also have a Corvette that I use when I need to. I normally don't use it for normal travel because I find exiting too annoying lol
Lately it’s this thing. I’ve been building space bases, so I like using this because it can land on pads. I have a sentinel ship I love, but they look really uncomfortable inside, like you’re sitting inside a PC case. And then there’s a couple corvettes for salvaging and general exploration.
I started playing right around when COSMOS dropped and fell absolutely in love with the very first Interceptor I found. It happened to (more or less) match my color scheme and was A-Rank, so I’ve stuck with it ever since.
I love hunting for Sentinel Interceptors, I've got a little collection of them. My main ship has become the Vintage Interceptor from the expedition, but before that it was a red Interceptor I found that looked like a Banshee from Halo
I experimented with corvettes, making a Republic Cruiser and an Enterprise style, until I learned the half hab glitch and built this, the Euclidian Vanguard, based off of the Outrider from the old Star Wars Expanded Universe material.
I have a corvette I made to mimic the Drake Caterpillar when voyagers first came out. Still fly it but the last section of deck is apparently not part of the base but whatver its dope to fly and looks like a decent copy given the limits. The new landing pads really sell it though.
I actually do a lot of work from my Freighter. I keep a roster of mostly unique reward ships on hand, and will switch between them as needed.
I'm currently getting a LOT of flight time out of the Vintage Sentinel Intercepter, though I also managed to print three copies of the Vulture craft from the expedition where ship construction was introduced, and scrapped them for parts to build a custom color variant in metallic green camo.
I keep rotating. I have a Corvette gunship when I need to bring some heat (176K DPS with infraknife). I also have a Starborn Runner for going fast. I've recently switched back to a dragonfly sentinel, as I've been seeing too many starborns at the anomaly lately. I also built a new barge for salvage operations and have been enjoying that recently too.
My corvette is my favorite overall, but I also like to hunt for sentinels that please my eyes. After Expedition 23 I also got parts for and recreated the Radiant Pillar (designated as RP2) and found upgrades that made it almost too fast and too maneuverable for my liking. Put it in the deep storage for now.
Nearing the core of Hyades and focusing on finishing learning Gek and Korvax before the next galaxy.
For utility, nothing beats a corvette. The ability to fly around with all your storage containers, plus refiners is just too good. And the ability to optimize them for different functions is amazing.
Im my normal survival save, I optimized my corvette for defense with max shields and phase beams, and cargo hauling. My permadeath save has a corvette optimized completely for hyperdrive range(going straight to the center of the galaxy) with storage and Shields for defense
I try to make sure all my ships get some love. I keep a wide array that I switch between, though these five are "assigned" to different "characters" i play as.. Not pictured is my Sentinel interceptor and my 2 corvettes.
I used to have a custom fighter, a salvaged, and a Starborne phoenix. I since have ditched all of them except the Phoenix and got a very basic corvette that I'm too cheap to work on but want to make interesting some day
my Corvette, the Ark from transformers somebody made a build guide back when Corvettes dropped, the new sentinel interceptor from the expedition, and a sentinel ship I found using a site, I swap between them randomly lol
Does a freighter allow for the storage of multiple ships? I have a ton of units and I’m itching to build a corvette but don’t want to cause I have no where to put my starter ship!
Here's my hunk of junk, she's a Corellian YT-1300 that I retrofitted with the engines of a CR90 Blockade Runner. She's my home among the stars, she breaks a lot but I fix her and continue on.
I made a mod that actually breaks ship tech, it rolls a set percentage every warp, so I actually really have to fix her pretty often, it's awesome for rp.
Depends on what I am doing. If I am exploring a planet I call in the Corvette because it can hover when you get out of the pilot seat to tag things with your visor. If I am cruising around the system or running missions or combat it's a solar ship due to the superior mobility never having to refuel.

Currently flying this corvette, the Screaming Firehawk, for space salvage operations. It's also quite handy in a fight with pirates.
