2. 🛠️ How to Set Up a Horizontal Quarter Step Offset
· First, set up the horizontal side quarter offset.
· Place the following parts to create the initial structure:
· No parts should extend beyond this 5x1 block. If they do, the shuffle will adjust differently.
· Place the following parts to create the initial structure:
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Magfield Landing Thruster | Place 1 |
| Hab | Place a total of 5 (1 in front, 2 on each side at the back) These Habs are temporary parts to be deleted later. |
| Access Way | Place flipped to the rear |
| Widebody Thruster | Place 1 |
| Any Gun | Place 1 in the center |
| Cockpit | Place 1 |
| Reactor | Place 1 |
· No parts should extend beyond this 5x1 block. If they do, the shuffle will adjust differently.

3. ➡️ Apply and Verify Horizontal Offset
· After placing all parts, finalize the design and save the corvette.
· Return to the corvette and delete the central Hab.
· Move the Magfield Landing Thruster next to the Reactor.
· Apply the edits, and you will see the corvette has shifted horizontally by a quarter step.
· Place landing gear to visually compare the original grid with the quarter step offset grid.
· Return to the corvette and delete the central Hab.
· Move the Magfield Landing Thruster next to the Reactor.
· Apply the edits, and you will see the corvette has shifted horizontally by a quarter step.
· Place landing gear to visually compare the original grid with the quarter step offset grid.

4. 🔄 Preparing for Forward Quarter Step Offset
· Now, delete all temporary Habs.
· Move the quarter step blocks a few spaces back.
· To shuffle the grid forward by a quarter step, both sides must be evenly placed relative to the centerline.
· Add a half step to align, then move it back forward by a half step to ensure both sides are evenly matched.
· Move the quarter step blocks a few spaces back.
· To shuffle the grid forward by a quarter step, both sides must be evenly placed relative to the centerline.
· Add a half step to align, then move it back forward by a half step to ensure both sides are evenly matched.

5. 🚀 How to Set Up a Forward Quarter Step Offset
· Perform a forward quarter shuffle. This process differs from the backward shuffle in terms of part count and placement.
· Place the following parts:
· Ensure the first block and 1.5 blocks are empty, and that external parts are evenly distributed.
· Place the following parts:
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Hab | Place a total of 5 (1x1, 2x1, etc.) Be careful not to snap to a quarter step. |
| Cockpit | Place 1 |
| Reactor | Place 1 |
| Access Way | Place 1 |
| Widebody Thruster | Place 1 |
| Weapon | Place 1 |
· Ensure the first block and 1.5 blocks are empty, and that external parts are evenly distributed.

6. ✅ Apply and Verify Forward Offset
· Apply the edits and return to the corvette.
· Delete the temporary Hab and move the landing gear back next to the Reactor.
· Apply the edits, and you will see the entire grid has shifted forward by a quarter step.
· Place landing gear to visually compare the positions of the original grid, half step, and quarter step to verify the forward offset.
· Delete the temporary Hab and move the landing gear back next to the Reactor.
· Apply the edits, and you will see the entire grid has shifted forward by a quarter step.
· Place landing gear to visually compare the positions of the original grid, half step, and quarter step to verify the forward offset.

7. ✨ Combining Horizontal and Forward Quarter Step Offsets
· Now, move the existing quarter step blocks further to the opposite side to keep them out of the way.
· They must be evenly placed on both sides relative to the centerline.
· Place the following parts to create the final combined structure:
· Finalize the edits and return to the build menu to delete the temporary parts.
· Move the landing gear next to the Reactor, then apply the edits to get a grid with both horizontal and forward quarter step offsets applied.
· They must be evenly placed on both sides relative to the centerline.
· Place the following parts to create the final combined structure:
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Landing Gear | Place 1 |
| 1x1 Hab | Place 1 |
| 2x1 Hab | Place 3 |
| Cockpit | Place 1 at the end |
| Reactor | Place 1 |
| Gun | Place 1 |
| Landing Bay | Place 1 |
| Thruster | Place 1 |
· Finalize the edits and return to the build menu to delete the temporary parts.
· Move the landing gear next to the Reactor, then apply the edits to get a grid with both horizontal and forward quarter step offsets applied.

8. 📐 Utilizing the Completed Quarter Step Grid
· You can now use all three grids: the original grid, the horizontal quarter step offset, and the forward quarter step offset.
· These grids can be used as templates when building your corvette.
· The completed grid blocks from this guide will be uploaded to a bot, allowing other users to download and use them as default settings.
