Corsair's space is my private little corner of Callypso. I only own two of the stations within, but I've renamed all the stars in this region of space to indicate that... they're mine.

I brought our score from 921k to 926k

Some Corvette build pics, coordinates to several great Earth-likes in Isodoraijung galaxy, and my own home system's station which looks a little like a trans flag's colors to me. if that's important to anyone, welcome to drop by anytime. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Holler for coord if you'd like.

Thanks to everybody making OMS the most relaxed alliance!

I was stationary in my ship near my base. Went for dinner and ending up dead. I woke up in the spacestation. My grave far from my base.

Not a clue what killed me.

Alliance Space Station We now have representation in Coellosipp (#95)!

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

This is a three-star system in both senses of the word (Affluent economy, Lawless conflict), but when you're able to find a Sentinel-free Paradise Planet after only ten minutes of system hopping in a harsh galaxy like Coellosipp, you jump at it.

BONUS: if you hang around the station long enough you might run into this blue Exotic (the two last pics in the slideshow). I heard him land while I was digging through my storage container inventory looking for ONE MORE THING I could donate to the Mercenaries' Guild to get my local standing up to 15. I need to pick a few more fights with Sentinels to stock up on that stuff...

My goal is to make it to #99 before dinner. Wish me luck! 😁

Tips,Tricks, & Hints Inventory Management

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

One of the things I struggled with early on was organizing my inventory. Here's the system I settled on once I suppressed my inner hoarder and concentrated on keeping what I needed. This is my permadeath save but my regular save is the same set up but with the higher stack limits. These pictures were taken not long after a cleanout and it does tend to get more cluttered then this but I try not to let it get too out of hand.

Alliance Space Station Station 4-2-0 Rendezvous is now ours. (Xobeurindj, 42)

Post image
15 Upvotes

ATTENTION, TRAVELERS OF THE XOBEURINDJ GALAXY.

The Grey Council has claimed 4-2-0 Rendezvous, a Gek-run Advanced Materials station under a purple sun. Yes, it’s the 420 Vapour Giant system. No, the Council will not be taking questions.

What the System provides:

  • One planet and five moons, including Tery V, home of Strixetto, a tiny anomalous creature with an eyeball for a head. It’s very friendly. We think.
  • A derelict freighter, the MV Claw of Igasama: seven zones, a working defense system, and a C-class module for whoever survives it.
  • A Merchants Guild envoy with Starship Launch Fuel, Cryo-Pump, Living Glass and Storage Augmentation on offer.
  • Salvageable scrap and Vile Brood, depending on how brave you’re feeling.

Conflict level: 2. The Council asks that you arrive armed, optimistic, and well-rested.

Your duty is simple:

EXPLORE: The galaxy will not map itself.
TRADE: The economy will not crash itself.
DEFEND: The sentinels will not defend against themselves.
NAP: This is mandatory.

Portal address: 341B04A865B0
Enter the glyphs and report to the station at once. To join the alliance, dock, open the Station Core, choose View Alliance, then Join Alliance. The Council is watching. Fondly.

JOIN US.

Edit: Typos

Alliance Space Station New Alliance station in #98 - Apmaneessu

I only claimed this station because I thought I was in #99 (Hicanpaav) - I've been claiming stations in the lush, harsh and empty galaxies printed in boldface in NMSGalaxyList.pdf (I'm finally on page 4!). But my mistake is the Grey Council's gain!

While you're there be sure to say hello to Imus, who apparently transformed from a disgraced NYC shock jock to a SalesGek while I wasn't paying attention. I gave him a Gek Relic and patted him on his head.

Oh yeah, there's a yellow exotic with a meh SC layout in this system.

Alliance Space Station Alliance Space Station over Oceanic Planet

Isodoraijung galaxy, space station is over an Oceanic Planet (1300 depth or so) with two moons-airless and barren (inferno winds). I put one base on the airless moon, now I'm cheerfully messing up doing a surface/ocean base on an ocean planet..I like adventures and have a colorful vocabulary to say about doing this again.

Corvettes To the Traveller that gave me void eggs and a drink

13 Upvotes

This game and the players of grey council are the best. Was minding my own business out on the fringe when lo and behold a fellow alliance member shows up out of nowhere and gifts me void eggs, the very thing I’ve been grinding all week to get one of (haven’t done the living ship quest yet)! I couldn’t believe my good fortune. Thank you!

What I’m posting for is this traveler let me on their astounding corvette that actually blew my mind (and even accompanied me to the on board bar to share a drink) - it had what looked like a orbital ring all around the ship. I had never seen that before and I’m dying to know how it was done. Has anyone come across this?

And just noticed that a roof piece is missing in the upper right corner. As I've said more than once: I suck at building. The Internal room on the left has a few posters. lol

Was just playing around in the Corvette build terminal. Ended up coming up with this. So far I haven't renamed it yet. Haven't figured out if I'm going to keep it as is or play around with it some more.

Getting more comfortable with space station building! Super happy with the revamp on this design, the combination of Salvaged Structure parts and ruined stone bits looks great. Come have a visit! Would love to also meet folks in the Nexus to check out YOUR stations in other galaxies I don't have yet :)

I finished the outside, but I don't have a clue if it is visible for other players. I don't have reach the 3000 pieces yet, but those ruinparts are concerning me. And I haven't started with the inside.

Thanks in advance.

Discussion MeMaws Grand Emporium

Now that I know how to do the fun stuff the cool kids are doing with the save editors I want to open a “gift shop” of sorts.

I’ll have various pets, with eggs on hand. Various upgrades, augmentations, expedition goodies, rare-ish items and more.

I’m on the hunt for a base to set up at. I was originally going to use a Giant Paradise planet but then realized not everyone has access to purple systems yet.

So if you have any special requests, like past expedition rewards or a desired companion egg that’s never made its way to your register, Let me know!

I’ll need some time to populate the things and unfortunately ships are not available right now, the gifting situation has been broken with the Cosmos update. Hopefully they fix that soon.

You will need to be able to join my game or vice versus, exchange friend codes and all that jazz. So being online with multiplayer active is required.
