Corvette Build

Opinions appreciated. Please keep in mind, I have been slowly upgrading components as I do bounty hunting. I have enough for 1 buyback at all times. I like to live dangerously...


I have not flown the Corvette, but I understand it has nice convergence and handling, on the other hand what you have now on paper is arguably not as good as this standard laser boat Anaconda of the same configuration if only because the Anaconda would be 34 million cheaper. That is to say you could invest an additional 34 million as I did here.

Just playing a little devils advocate because I still feel that the Anaconda is a stepping stone, a rather larger one, that you should not skip over before you get the Cutter or Corvette. :D

I was in an Anaconda trading, then I got bored and had to switch back to combat. A shame trading still has a higher payout by at least a factor of bloody 10 than bounty hunting. While the combat conda I had was more fun, it was a bit sluggish in combat, I did not really like the aesthetics of the ship itself (the BOX on the bottom, presumably the cargo bay, annoyed me greatly) so overall I was unsatisfied.

Then the Corvette reared it's gorgeous head and BOOM. I made it my goal to acquire it. And here I am.

I will not go back to the Conda. The 'vette is my baby and she's the only one for me.

My build isn't bad it performs perfectly fine, the only thing left to do is to just make it more efficient. FSD will be the last thing I get as I don't really need to leave my current system and this is where a bud is grinding his empire rank and farming a HAZres. So i'm happy to be parked here.

7A SCBs without Heat Sink Launchers? Where does the heat gauge go at?


Hello,
Was wondering the same thing. A 5A and 6A SCB fries my Pythons systems without a heat sink launcher. Have not tried 8As on the Cutter.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

i'm about to concentrate on ranking up in the Empire (need to increase by 2 ranks to get a Cutter) and i'm looking for a new 'general duties' ship for running missions. the most likely contenders are the Python and Ferdie, oddly enough i sold one of each when Horizons hit and now i'm about to buy one back again. it needs to be able to defend itself, haul a typical mission-sized cargo load, carry at least one SRV, and land at outposts - if i've missed any other obvious candidates, please speak up

last night i had my first experience in a trade wing - my trader Corvette and CMDR. Laursen's beautiful Cutter, carrying 576t and 720t respectively. we only made a few runs but i was surprised to see i'd made over 12 mil from them

now i'm off to Founder's to build that new ship

I take some module damage for a few moments, but never the hull or the powerplant, usually around 2% on the modules. Luckily the corvette has such strong shields I rarely have to use the cells, and when I do I've got an AFMU to bring everything back to 100%.
