What are you supposed to do with the nomai ships? (vlemmy.net)

Pretty much done everything in the game at this point, but I could never really figure out if there was more to these ships than the logs inside. I know you can launch them and warp them back to the gravity cannon, but are they actually useful for anything?

Not really. It's just a fun little toy that you can attempt to fly in. There are speedrunners that can actually use these ships instead of the Hearthian ship, but personally, I found these almost impossible to control. I wished the developers had time to invent a better control mechanism for these things.

This is for a challenge run, or they actually manage to make these things the faster way to play the game?

It's definitely not faster since you have to wait for the launchpad to point towards where you're going.

But there is a 100% shipless speedrun which is only 9 minutes slower than using the ship. And using the ship only saves like 2 minutes in any%.

The runs have spoilers, obviously so don't watch until you have played the game: https://www.speedrun.com/outer_wilds?h=100-PC-Base_Game-Normal&x=rklv8vwd-789x5o68.814pv601-p85dkwxl.21g654oq-38dpo1x8.mlnpdej1
