So I have been gone for a while and I am out of the loop. I am just jumping into Engineers after spending the last week getting back in the swing. I already owned both the Corvette and an Anaconda, but since returning the Corvette feels like flying a moon while the Conda feels more responsive. I remember the opposite experience before leaving the game and I am really confused at this point. So the questions are, has the large ship meta switched away from the Corvette to the Anaconda, which of the large ships is "best", and why?
Keep in mind that I use 2 large Advanced Plasma Accelerators as my main weapons on the Anaconda. With 4 pips in weapons un modified they have a 100% up time and a DPS of 40 meaning I can run 4 pips in systems or engines till my weapons are drained then refill. Any recommendations should have better DPS or at least better say maneuverability.
Edit: Changed "your favorite" to "best" in the last sentence of the first paragraph.
