So in my continuing addiction to building corvettes in No Man's Sky I finally put together one of the top picks I had for the game, the venerable Drayman class cargo ship. I finally tackled this one for two reasons.
1) In the current Cosmos update Hello Games added scavenge missions in space. So now you can go out and tear pieces off of derelict ships and overgrown infected space stations and collect it all up with a tractor beam.
2) You can now own space stations but it takes some work to earn the right to claim one and a big part of earning it is these space scavenger missions. So I wanted something that could haul a lot of scrap in a single shot and the Drayman's big cargo box was a perfect option compared to my retrofitted Kamrani or my blue Goat Boat (original creation). Scrap also is the main currency for building additions to the exterior of the space station.
ALLIANCES
Part of owning a space station also allows you to found an alliance that other players can join. There's a leader board and most of the stuff you do in the game, scanning animals and resources and I think fighting pirates, all contributes a score from all of the alliance members and you don't have to own a space station to join an alliance. Joining an alliance also gives you direct access to the other space stations\systems of the other alliance members and so i give you:
THE CONFEDERATION NAVAL FORCES WHITE LANCE
The capitol of the Lance is at the Repleetah Rendezvous and the image has the portal address for the Repleetah system for anyone that wants to join up. Just portal into the system and head to the space station to talk to the station core to join. I'm still working on some of the interior stuff, the restaurant and the "clothing shop" are finished, but I'm still working on the "hotel".
I've got a whole head canon for the White Lance that kind of explains the planet names in the system if anyone's interested.
By the way the current expedition, ending Oct. 28 2026, is a pretty good run through of the game's history. It changes up the look and functions of the game according to the milestones that are completed in accordance with the changes the game has gone through over the last ten years and, by the end, you can get two banger ships that are great starters if you're coming into the game with a new save.
