Still playing this quite a bit. I love zipping to new systems and exploring them. As a result, I’ve collected some nice looking ships. Thought I’d show them off.
My main ship is an S-Class explorer that’s got some funky asymmetry going on. I have difficulty figuring out the color of this ship because it’s pretty reflective, but I think it’s silver and baby blue with some gold trim. I was lucky to get this one with a pretty big inventory out of the gate (36+12). I vaguely think I found this one crashed, but I don’t recall clearly.
From the day I got this, I’ve said to myself “someday soon I’m going to get a better ship and scrap this one” but I keep putting that day off. And as a result I’ve upgraded this out the wazoo. At this point it’s like an old friend so I’m not sure I could put it out to pasture!
A while ago I ducked into a space station for some reason. I bought a ship (don’t recall which) and this one landed about 10 seconds afterwards. I immediately bought it next because I thought it was cool looking. Unfortunately, I don’t really like the way it looks when it flies, but the colors ARE nice.
Another ship I picked up along the way. I learned this style is called a Guppy. I think I’ve named it Zee Eyeball. Haven’t used it much.
Found this fighter a couple of weeks ago. It wasn’t until I’d had it a while until I realized it’s got a backwards thruster mounted on the nose with some sort of vertical fin in front of it. I feel like it was some teenager’s home project gone terribly wrong. I did use this a while and enjoyed it.
This last ship I just got last night off the www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange, which is a subreddit where people post pictures of ships and planets alongside their coordinates, so you can go get one yourself. I really wanted a white/gold ship, and tried for an hour or two last night to get one from a system where the ship supposedly flies in to the space station. I never saw it though. Fortunately NMSCoordinateExchange had a listing for this ship which you find crashed on a planet. I grabbed it and have fixed it up.
As much as I wanted this, I’m not a super fan of the pods on the sides. Sort of makes the ship look like it’s got big hips.
I tend to only hold on to 5 ships (even though you can have 6) because if I see a ship I like, I want the ability to purchase it then and there. I flew into a station last night and an exotic landed right away - bright red, like the blue ship above, but the wings fold together above it when it’s landed. I really wanted it but since I had 6 ships and I didn’t want to trade in my current ship, I had to go swap ships, and by the time I got back it had flown off.
