So it's just come through on the newsletter that the Fed Covette's going to be packing some serious heat: two medium, three large and two huge hard points. :eek:

Compared with the Anaconda, it swaps 2 small hardpoints for one huge. Even using EDShipyard or Coriolis, I'm still struggling to figure out how much better that is. Might not mean much if this thing can't turn to bring those guns to bear..

Why is everyone talking about the Panther Clipper as if it's an Imperial capital ship? It's a hauler and it's not Imperial tied...

You all mean the IMPERIAL CUTTER.

The Panther is looking much better could be a reason. And earning money for the corvette with the panther would be probably much easier. The sad thing is that I probably become King of the Empire faster than Admiral of the Federal Navy Auxiliary Navy Federal Whatever… :(

Nobody is going to use the Corvette for combat. It's designed to look really, really cool - mirrored shades for the Admiral included. It's the ship to cruise around in front of a Station save inside the no fire zone ;)

It's a combat ship and a Federation ship.

It will have power issues, shield issues and speed issues and fly like a dead brick.

fed corvette sneak peek

In the new update, the Fed Corvette design is confirmed. I thought it would have 2 huge hardpoints when I first saw it, and I was correct. This is going to be one hell of a ship, and I will start grinding for my T9 to grind for this, then grind for max fed rank.

lol, looks like I was wrong, there going to be two medium, three large and two huge hardpoints.

Still, my bets that ship gonna have similar costs to anaconda, probly bit faster, but jump range will be poor. Probly t9 alike.

Hmm, 3 fixed/gimball beams on large, gimball lasers or multicannons on medium, with double cannons or PA on lagerst HP... Very, very sweet. Unlike rest of federal ships, this will be very dangerous. I only wonder wich Powerplant it will be have... Level 8 or 7...

If this game has taught me anything about how FD designs ships, it's that h-points are secondary to actually being able to outfit them without blowing the PP, cooking yourself due to heat issues, or having relatively nimble handling.
A.k.a balance, the dream killer.

Unless it gets a class 10 power distributor, that's not going to work ;)

I'll jsut throw five lasers on it.

This! I truly hope it will have the appropriate power distributor to make the impressive hardpoint config useful. Too many players seem to think more/larger hardpoints = more damage, when in reality the power distributor is often the limiting factor to damage output.

For the Federation!

The imperials will get the cutter I guess, it is the imperial counter to the corvette. I expect some amazing fights between these two beasts!
