That was my experience as well for the first couple of years. But with the drop of the update where you can build your own Corvette, I finally converted. Finally I could build my very own Serenity! Next step is to make my way as a smuggler across the universe!

Edit: this is built after another players YouTube-tutorial by the way.

That's a sweet looking ship indeed! How was your experience collecting all the necessary ship parts to build this? Do you think it helped make it more enjoyable to follow a youtube guide?

Nowadays being over 30 and having a child I don't find as much time playing games anymore. Which makes the grinding part of games so much less enjoying and worth while. So following a youtube tutorial sometimes helps me to get through the more grindier spects of a game if its not possible to circumnavigate them.

PS: Woulf you mind sharing the youtube tutorial you followed?

So, as I'm also an "older" gamer, it definitely helped with the time management 😉 How I did it was to first just look up which parts he used and try to find as many of them as possible, or otherwise trade for them in the Corvette parts shop. For some parts I also used alternatives until I had managed to collect all of the "original" parts. And when I had collected all the parts, I then followed the tutorial to do the actual build. And I enjoyed doing it this way 🙂

There are several different alternatives, but the youtube video I followed was this: https://youtu.be/WyxeEKAnlek

Hehe wonderful, thanks for going into a deeper explanation on how you did it! Definitely gonna give it a try the next time I decide to start up the game again 🚀

I would pay good money for a mod that has Jayne as a crewmember, and any time you ask him to do anything he just walks away murmuring "I'll be in my bunk".

Yeah, that would be amazing!
