The Voyagers update in No Man’s Sky introduces an exciting new feature: the ability to build, customize, and walk around your very own Corvette-class starship, even while it’s in flight. This guide breaks down each step, including how to unlock the workshop, purchase modules, construct your ship, and outfit it with interior structures and missions.
1. Where to Start: Find the Corvette Workshop
Head to any Space Station.
Inside, you’ll now see four new terminals on the left-hand side as you enter.
These terminals take you to the Corvette Workshop, a new area added in the update.
Interact with any terminal to enter a design space.
Missions
Upon entering, you’ll automatically receive a secondary mission titled:
“Corvette Assembly: Design and assemble a habitable starship.”
2. Understanding the Corvette Workshop
Workshop Menu Options
Create New Corvette – Opens the build mode in a 3D design environment.
Purchase Modules – Buy components for your corvette.
Workshop Cache – Currently empty (future use or special trades?).
Module Categories (Purchased with Units)
Core Components: Cockpit, Hab Unit, Landing Gear
Engines: Pyro Drive Booster, Titan Sublight Thruster
Weapons: Cannons
Other: Defensive Systems, Hull Plating, Access Ways, Wings, Attachments
3. Building the Corvette – Step-by-Step
Start Assembling
Go to “Create New Corvette” to enter build mode.
Use camera tools to rotate and place modules.
Key Components to Start With
Landing Gear – Base placement.
Habitation Unit – Living module.
Cockpit – Attach in front or top.
Reactor or Thrusters – Side or rear placement.
Cannons – Can be mounted on top or sides.
Wings & Add-ons – Customize for performance and aesthetics.
Tips for Assembly
Don’t forget mirrored parts (two thrusters, two cannons, etc.).
Adjust positions for symmetry.
Store unfinished designs for later editing.
Experiment with Winglets, Radar Domes, and Cowlings for stat boosts.
4. Customize Appearance: Colors and Finishes
- Available paint styles:
- Gloss
- Inverted Gloss
- Metallic
- Weathered
- Choose color palettes (e.g., blue + light gray).
- You can paint each module independently or apply a global style.
5. Finalize the Corvette
Once you’re happy with the design:
- Hit “Finalize Design” to finish the build.
- Choose to:
- Swap with current ship
- Add to your ship collection
You’ll need free ship slots to keep your new corvette.
6. Testing Your Corvette – Flight & Autopilot
Flight Behavior
- Flies like a typical starship, but bulkier.
- Maneuverability may be limited based on your thruster and wing choices.
- Supports full landing and takeoff animations.
Autopilot Features
- Can be sent to planets or space stations automatically.
- You can walk around inside while it’s in motion!
7. Building Interior Modules (Walkable Interior)
Yes — you can customize and furnish the interior of your corvette!
How to Start
- Exit your pilot seat mid-flight or while docked.
- Use building tools to place structures.
Interior Modules Available
- Storage Units – Store resources like in freighters or bases.
- Mission Radar – Unlocks quicksilver-like missions.
- Crew Births – Sleeping pods.
- Nutrient Units – Food crafting.
- Living Walls – Decorative and organic carbon sources.
- Medical Pods – Heal and treat status effects.
- Refiner Units – Process resources.
Many of these require materials like Metal Plating, Microprocessors, etc.
8. Upgrades, Trading & Salvage
- Better modules (A-Class, B-Class, etc.) can be found or bartered at the workshop.
- Example upgrades:
- Cockpits with more shield strength
- Hab Units with mission capability
- Reactors with higher hyperdrive range
- Trade salvaged modules (possibly from Expeditions or new missions).
- Visit new systems for “Salvageable Corvette Scrap” to acquire rare modules.
The new Corvette system in No Man’s Sky is one of the most immersive ship-building features ever added. From modular construction, to interior walkthrough design, to autopilot mechanics, this update combines base building, exploration, and fleet mechanics into one sleek, flying habitat.
