What do you do with your Federal Corvette
So, I finally got my Federal Corvette and haul cargo within Ceos. Good money but kinda feel like a waste of talent lol. What do you guys do mostly with your Corvette?

Cargo runs in a corvetter???, you are such a monster. Fit some guns and shield banks in that puppy and ruin NPC's dreams.

:steamhappy: 😂😂😂 should have Type-9 instead for what I'm doing with my Corvette lol.
In case I equipped her with 3 fighters, can I launch all 3 of them if I have them all crewed? Ruining NPC's dreams seems fun lol

No, you can only have 1 NPC. However, if one gets blown up you can send the other instantly.

I think you can in multicrew though

It's my all purpose, no job too dirty, mission ship. I also farm powerplay points with it.

If you are an NPC her hull is the glint in the steely eyes of death herself.

You can, I've had friends who were learning combat out in both fighters and it's a riot.

Do you mean your friend and 1 NPC crew flew the fighters? Who's running the Corvette? I bought an hangar bay with 2 fighters, hired 2 crew but I can only took 1 crew with me on board

Yes, one npc. It flies the fighter, and if fighter gets blown up, if you have multiple fighters, you can instantly deploy the next one. The pilot doesn't die with the fighter.

If you pilot a corvette, NPC takes over. You can't have both NPC and multicrew friend, you can either have a friend (or two) with you in your ship, or NPC crewman.

I have a NPC but this was multicrew with two friends. I drive the Vette and each of them had a fighter.

Mines a full combat spec, with an RV bay and detailed surface scanner as the only none space combat modules.

I added those two so i can scan planets for geo sites and use the rover to get raw mats. Then it gets data/mechanical mats from combat. Lets me stay in my combat ship to get all 3 types.

Copied a cut down version of the same build into my Krait, thats a lot of fun to fly around in :)

Fighting NPCs the most efficient way in my Corvette. When the number of kills is more important than the fun value of fights.

For the most part, I use it when I must do wing massacre missions in systems without hazres sites (so I know I'll be attacked by 10 enemies at once as soon as I drop into the signature location and start shooting) or for hostage rescue missions.

Or when I need a combat ship that can cover relatively long distances reliably (mine has a size 6 fuel scoop and an FSD booster).
