Federal Corvette, it IS worth it.

You can stare at the numbers on paper all you want and argue the pros and cons. Once you get that baby all alone in an outfitting room... sparks fly and everything else in the galaxy just melts away.

Yes, the grind is God awful and the money is outrageous. But COME ON! It looks like a Decepticon mated with a galactic great white shark, and now it has a taste for Imperials and pirates.

The weapons look beautiful and line up like a pool cue. I drove it around the block, (not fully covered with insurance with the bells I put on it.) Handles great, sounds mean too.

Bottom line, the damn thing is like Christmas morning for any commander wanting to fly a finely tuned death machine. Haters gonna hate, baiters gonna bait, but the ship is well done.

[Luke3079]

While I can't guarentee it, I assume the new huge hardpoints will definately be added to the base game as well. Would be a little weird not to imo since all the other weapon types are available to everyone.

I guess yeah. Wouldn't be fair if it's a DLC only item.

Well, Corvette is good combat ship on it's own.



Second thing. Let's take Cutter. It is no way better combat ship than Corvette, BUT it goes well in PvP, because of tankiest shields ever. And if it fights Corvette, it's only tactic is pew-pew-pew, boost away, fly back. No chance of outmaneuvering it in Corvette, cause it will just fly away. And it also beats Anaconda in trading (732 ton vs 432). What's Corvette advantage over Conda? It maneuvers better? Yes, but not enough to outmaneuver Conda or chase Cutter. Conda can easily keep aim on smaller targets (watch CMDR Olivka's videos on youtube) with fixed weapons.

Corvette is a good combat ship, but it's not worth a grind, because there is a cheaper and no-rank Conda, which does everything with same efficiency. Jumps further, costs less, has more armour, trades further, has same firepower, will be able to launch 2 fighters as well...

this ... couldn't said any better lol

Its a good ship the Corvette loving mine using it as a Trade Vessel YES a trade vessel over my conda as i have found a nice trade route earning me 2mil per run in around 49Ly range (4 jumps to go and 6 to come back 35-40min avg) @ 576T cargo my conda can only carry 432T, Did some Combat (PVE) in it aswell its awesome.

Given the randomness and repetetive kind of missions: What role (except a virtual p-enlargement) can this ship fulfill? There is no content that would require me or give me a goal to get the ship other than getting the ship for the sole purpose of owning it. Is there anything you actually *need* the ship for in the game? Some game content or game play mechanics that gives it a purpose?

I will definitely going for it as soon as I have returned from DW. Want to own this war maiden.

well, until those guns are not in, they won't see them, there is a grain of truth in that.

Anyway, having a real purpose or not, huge multis and lazerz in or not, I will get that Corvette. Why? Because looks big, cool, big and powerful, and big, and because reasons.

Ships in Elite dangerous is like classes in a RPG.. You either love it, hate it or just feel its allright, and thats entierly individual.

But. There is a point of veiw i like to point out when that above is said.
Lets compare the Corvette with a Anaconda. As the Corvette is obviously a combat vessel. and the Anaconda a multi-role vessle. lets see this from a combat point of veiw.

Corvette has 2 huge, 1 large 2 med and 2 small...7 Hard Points tot
Anaconda has 1 huge, 3 large, 2 med and 2 small....8 Hard Points tot

But the Corvette has 2 huge hard points the anaconda has 1 you say ?
> True, it does <
but the Anaconda has 3 Large the Corvette has 1.
> Yea but one huge over 2 large is better <

Ooh really ? is it ?

So what would you equipp those 2 huge hard points with ? 2 PA's?
> Well yeah obviously....<

Well. here is the ting. Canons and PA's are not primary weapons. they are intended to be support weapons...hence their high dmg and low ammo. At least thats my theory.

So lets equipp the Anaconda and the Corvette with primary weapons only.

(Example of mix)
Corvette gets 3 large lasers 4 multi canons.
The anaconda gets 4 large lasers and 4 multi canons.

Seen from this point. Pure firepower the Anaconda wins, but the corvette may be superior due to its better manuverability and probably speed.
But then again. we can step out of this veiw a little and just say. "But the anaconda has MUCH higher jump range and can be used for SOOOO much more" :p

But no matter how much we say that and that and bla bla bla.

BOTH the Anaconda an Corvette is in theory NOT solo combat vessels. they are Support Vessles, Intended to be in wings with smaller vessels to buff them up in the fight. again, thats my theory.

I love flying my Anaconda around RES nukeing everything in my path with 4 large pulse lasers and 4 multi canons.
Will i do the same once i even find the courage to grind rank with FED to get it ?
Only time know that =)

Good flying commanders =)

This will be a very funny necro thread when the Imperial equivilant to the corvette is released.
