if the mamba med fighter/racer has an armour rating of 70,
the person who developed the small warship aka the Corvette must have been on drugs.
(not the developer in real life, but the fiction designer in the game)
Armour rating 75?

Anyhoo back to the topic....
A nice little ship you have for hunting bigger game (prey).
What patch level was all of this made? Before or after the adjustment to heat and speed?

Maybe that's the lore reason why it's slower than one would expect a racing ship to be... they took a racing ship and strapped a bunch of guns and armor on it.
BTW, it looks fantastic in VR. If anyone from fdev is reading this, please update the older ships so they look as good as the new ones...
Looks like it was mostly, if not entirely, Beta 3, before the changes.
Corvette, Cutter, FDL, Mamba, are all tied for second place hull rating at 70.
That's probably the first thing Zorgon changed when converting the racing prototype they had into a more combat focused vessel...giving it the same sort of armor the FDL has.
I love my Corvette but barely use it now because it’s just all sorts of wrong. Other than the huge hardpoint the weapons are too small and the description says it’s the “smallest ship in the federal navy” and is “fast”. Neither of those is true.
I wanna got hunting Thargoids and am thinking Gaus Cannons and AX Multis. Would like to use the ‘vette but simply not fast enough and hardpoint placing will be sub optimal. Will probably end up using my Krait instead.

You would think, the bigger the ship the thicker the armour plating, just like the real royal navy ships.
But I guess this is bypassed by the weapon size Vs Ship Size
It's the smallest properly rated warship class, the other pilotable ships in the Federal Navy proper are fighters. It's also considerably faster than the other warship we've seen (the Battlecruisers) which, excepting short-lived bug, have been depicted as static structures in normal space.
As for the hardpoints, they just take some getting used to. If they were all bigger, even a class 8 distributor would have issues and full sized turrets placed in the flanking positions would track too slowly to be useful anyway.
