No Mans Sky making first Corvette super ship was not hard at all, salvaged parts on salvage planet, sold a bunch of them, found some valuables to sell too. Putting it together was tricky and ugly looking, got it wrong and think first build had too much crap blocking the access ramp. I was getting stuck in place trying to enter too. So took it all apart and put together again this time in a better order plus it looked better. After that everything worked excellent, now to upgrade and do more collecting of parts.
Learning this process teaches you how to build many of the ships in the game plus how to make easy money. In about 10 minutes I sold about 7-8 million in parts, that’s like 4-5 of the 7 basic parts needed to make a corvette. The Corvette adds a bunch of QOL features and makes farming easier, auto pilot, jump out anywhere even while warping.
