Class 7 FSD for Federal Corvette
- Thread starter RevenantFallout
- Start date
Not counting 60% of its damage potential, sure... realistically the Corvette isn't outgunned by anything. Even the Anaconda's slight hardpoint advantage is negligible, as the distributor is usually the limiting factor unless you are comparing two pure cannon fittings
Not a solution for all, but Horizons is now £4.79, so less than 2 pint or a cinema ticket(or a bucket of thieving ripoff popcorn at UK cinemas)
Nerf the Conda, buff the DBX

I guess that’s the problem in a nutshell - 60% of its damage potential comes from two huge hardpoints, meaning the others all “have” to be “undersized” and hurting your loadout flexibility. TBH, I would sell it but I love the way it looks and I’ve engineered all of the modules now ...
I”m currently considering trying an asymmetric loadout of efficient beams (1xC4, 1xC2, 1xC1) on one side and Overcharged MultiCannon on the other. Maybe some missiles in the underside C3?

just to throw it out there... What's the worst that could happen if every FSD max jump range was literally doubled?
People will ask for the resulting jump range to be doubled again, because what's the worst that could happen?
And then whine why it takes 7 neutron boosts to Colonia and why FD doesn't respect their valuable time
Upgrade the Corvette to a class 7 FSD and upgrade the iCutter to class 8 FSD, problem solved.
Absolutely. Only buff my favourite ship though, as that needs to be the best one. All the other ships need to keep their drawbacks.
I argued about this a year ago at least. FDev putting both base game players in the same Universe as the Horizons beasts is an absolute fallacy. Yet they still sell the Demo called Base Game, which stores wrongfully label as "Full Game".
I feel sorry for them harming their own game, because if anyone actually thinks the Base Game is the full experience then uh oh.

Exactly, one can engineer the Vette to do this or that. Then again, one can engineer the Cutter to do the same, thus engineering becomes a moot point.
These people, amiright?
I remember the days when FORTY lyrs was considered the extreme limit in a fully stripped down jumpconda. Now look, we got the conda topping in at 80+. Not to mention jumponium and the neutron highway. There's no excuse for "short" jump ranges anymore these days.

I concur.
Distance and scale of the game would be even more trivial. I preferred things when getting double digit ly jumps was good enough and you had to make serious compromises to get most ships to jump more than 20ly.
Three to five minutes to cross the entirely bubble is a travesty and seriously undermines many of the strategic logistical considerations of the past.
My former favorite ship was actually buffed out of existence.
The vette is both quick to deploy relative to other rated warships (none of which are likely to ever be playable), and the only ship of comparable size that is really faster than it in any significant measure is the Cutter, which is no where near as agile.
