Ships Federal Corvette

Do you really think this is a python class ship? 2 med, 3 large, 2 huge....sure, is they python gains a few pounds maybe...FD have a hard on for multirole ships, they are all multiroles, some of them just suck at all the roles but one.

If you take what looks like the utility mount slots and compare them to the Python and the Conda, the corvette looks like its slightly more Python size.
 
Yeah. It would still be balanced if it had crazy shields and maneuverability, despite lack of sustainable firepower.
 
That being the case I'd expect some good maneuverability or shields.
Exactly that's what the ship is going to hinge on. Considering it looks like it has at least 8 utility mounts just on the top of the ship.(if those are indeed the utility mounts) Then it will have the most utility mounts in the game if it has some on the underside of the ship. Throw in the weapon hard points and its going to require a lot of power to run so I would throw that as a hinge too. If those 3 things fall short it will be a pretty meh ship just slightly more fire power than a Python.(If you only slot c3 weapons, more if you use the c4s) If it does have all 3 of those things in abundance its going to be like a better FDL.

I just want the anaconda to have some competition in its weight class. It's a great ship, but there is so much you could add at that level. The idea of a big FDL is very appealing, just wish FD would give combat ships what a real combat ship would have....a power plant (though I am super pleased with the FAS power supply).

I think the only way to balance multi role ships with combat ships at this point is to nerf the multi role ships flight envelopes and buff combat ships flight envelopes. The Anaconda should handle much more like the Python. Throw combat ships equal power plants. Then the whole thing would be that combat ships could pick off multi role ships 1v1 but multi role ships would still be viable for pve combat.

Why should the larger and heavier member of Faulcon DeLacy's Multirole ship line handle more like a smaller and lighter member? What does the balance between these two Multiroles have to do with the balance between Multiroles and dedicated Combat ships?

Because the larger and heavier ship is more maneuverable than the smaller one....


Not saying make it worse than the Pythons but make it around the Pythons maneuverability.

Yeah, Anaconda currently has better handling than Python.

which is kinda ridiculous honestly.
 
Are ... are you guys even playing the same game as me? Am I talking to a parallel universe? Among my friends, Anacondas don't maneuver better than a Python, so either you guys are on something or are from an alternate dimension. If what you say is indeed true (I haven't seen it, but who knows), then yes, that is broken.

Anyway this still doesn't explain what the balance among multiroles has to do with balance between multiroles and combat ships.

I do believe you are in a different universe. The only person talking about balance between multi roles is you. I was saying that moving the Anaconda towards the flight envelope of a Python would balance it a bit more towards combat ships. NOT balance it towards the Python.

And yes the Anaconda is well known to be able to pitch and roll better than the Python given both are A kit. Thrown in FAOFF and the Anaconda is even sillier.

... that's still technically balance among multiroles (Pyton and Anaconda), so you're the one that brought it up first apparently without realizing it and I was asking how that applies.

Is my hotas set up wrong then? because I've easily maneuvered better in a python than in an anaconda, yes, both were tested with A grade modules.
 
Ok the Python is slightly better on the roll. However the Anaconda is nearly twice as face as the Python on pitch. Don't get me started on the yaw.

WoW...so why buy a Corvette instead of keep my Conda?

Corvette: 2x C4, 1x C3, 2x C2, 2xC1
Anaconda: 1x C4, 3x C3, 2x C2, 2xC1

The C4 are only for Cannons and Plasma. The C3 are Needed for Laser/Pulse/Burst Firepower.

So an Example;

Corvette;
2x C4 = 2x C4 Cannons G (Because Fixed Plasma with this Big Ship...yea sure)
1x C3 = 1x C3 Pulse G
2x C2 = 2x C2 Laser G
2x C1 = 2x C1 Pulse T

Anaconda;
1x C4 = 1x C4 Cannon G
3x C3 = 3x C3 Pulse G
2x C2 = 2x C2 Cannon G
2x C1 = 2x C1 Cannon G

So Overall Anaconda has a lot better Firepower to Shield and Hull. The Only Way for make the Corvette a Alternative you Create a C4 Laser/Pulse/Burst. as Exapmle:

Corvette;
2x C4 = 2x C4 Laser T
1x C3 = 1x C3 Cannon G
2x C2 = 2x C2 Cannon G
2x C1 = 2x C1 Cannon G

So the Corvette is Current not an Alternative to a Fighter Anaconda. So Hope the Corvette will have a lot more of Internal Modules as the Conda.
 
That's an interesting theory :D I haven't seen anything to support bigger=faster/more mobile, but very interesting
I did say might be it could also be rubbish. If it does not handle well or if it isn't fast those two C$ are going to be useless. The FDL is fast so its C4 is useful and the Anaconda handles well so its C4 is useful. If it doesn't do either then...
