And then? No one would use it except for alpha-striking a target (aka gank)
The Fed. Corvette we lost...

What you really wanted to say (and I totally expected coming here) was:
Both Corvette and Conda stink against the might of a fully operational battle-Beluga.
Equally true, the beluga can out run both, good luck dodging a ram
Im all for a glass cannon, but not with three large and two huge.
As i said before, thats just excess for the sake of excess. For a ship like that to be even remotley balanced you have default hull armour around that of an Eagle. (Engineering giving ships way more G5 level defence than they have any right having withstanding)
Fewer internals would compromise it's combat ability more than a hardpoint reshuffle would aid it.
"This would affect PvE", straight into "but this is what people do in PvP". Rapidly moving goalposts.
Up to a point, two extra C3s are DEFINATLY that point.
Nah his point was that even with shields nerfed to 1000 mj the FdL would still be effective in PvP.
And what is effective in PvP wipes the floor with PvE configs (except for endurance, which isn't relevant here cause bi-weave)
Nope. Not at all.
If you have PvP and PvE in the same game you balance stuff to PvP. Otherwise its all ends up being a broken mess where only certain things become viable..
See ED engineering. See ridiculous HP stacking, see the ever increasing punsihments for smaler hardpoints Vs engineered hulls. Etc.
I don't feel the current incarnation of the vessel is at all lacking in firepower, or that swapping the smalls for larges would significantly help it; the ship is generally distributor limited when under fire with the hardpoints it's already got.
It would not, however, take the removal of many optional internals to noticeably weaken it's combat utility and survivability.
1 vs 1 sure, against multiple enemies when backed by a wing, sure. When it becomes asymmetric, not so much. The worst haz res wings are 3 medium to large ships with a fighter each. It gets even harder when soloing a wing assassination. You can't dodge them all at once. And then it's quickly game over.
Biweaves only regenerate when not under fire.
Also, nothing beats the satisfactory "thump" of two huge PAs hitting the target.
The lamenting of their women comes pretty close.
Hmmm, I currently have those Size-7 slots as cargo, so I can have a constant cloud of collector limpets surrounding me, vacuuming up the debris of my enemies. Might have to think about the benefits of an SCB though.
We had the discussion before. You can completely control the circumstances you get under fire in PvE, especially in a FdL 200 m/s faster then anything in PvE that can hurt you.
Haz res wings.
For reals. Seriously those poor excuses for big ships take less than thirty seconds each for a good FDL, probably closer to ten for many people.
I fly both ships in comparable configs. Anaconda and Corvette manoeuvrability in normal space really are equal.
I don't agree. Higher DPS of Anaconda can drop shields on Corvette pushing through SCBs (even easier with feedback cascade rails). I think Anaconda and Corvette are quite evenly matched.
Why this ranty bit?
As Bigmaec said, you have full control wth a ship with even G4 engines, in pretty much any ship, you can fully dictate the terms of engagement for the entirety of the fight.
You dont get that opportunity so much in PvP.
