The Fed. Corvette we lost...

I don't think the Vette needs buffed. The Conda has only slightly better DPS, and slightly worse maneuverability, but MUCH weaker shields because of the Vette having 3 Class 7s. Maybe buff the jump range a touch, but then we are going to start the buff train. The first passengers on the buff train are going to demand a Cutter maneuverability buff, especially if the Vette gets improved. There are ships that need buffed and the Vette ain't one of 'em .
Yeah, let's keep the conda speed at 360 while every other bloody combat ship in the game is 500 plus.
Are you completely daft? This is not okay,
The corvette doesn't need a buff. It already one of the best combat ships in-game. There is nothing in PvE that can withstand a well engineered corvette (and as others have said, there is nothing that can withstand any well engineered ship) and it's a dangerous opponent in PvP, which isn't usually the case for the anaconda. At least if you are able to use fixed weaponry (which every combat pilot should be capable of) the small hardpoints are perfectly aligned for dual cascade rails. If you're looking for a ship that does the fighting for you though, there might be better ships.
Are you suggesting speed is all that matters in combat? Who's daft? The Cutter can boost to 500 but the Conda and Vette can turn circles around it. And smaller ships need the speed for combat bcuz the big 3 can tank a supernova.
But yeah, let's just make all combat ships the same speed. Way to put some thought into it.
The Vette is not supposed to run down other ships, its not built to be an interceptor, its an area denial vessel designed to pump out a fat ton of firepower whilst being covered by smaller frigates and fighters.
One thing that keeps big ships out of PvP seems to be the lack of tactics applied with them, they have to have a role in the fight or you might aswell have another FDL.
And helicopter destroyers are no aircraft carriers.
And Zumwalt destroyers have more displacement then cruisers.
Applying real world nomenclature for spaceships is borked

It's more that the real world nomenclature isn't very objective or consistent, with different navies using different terminology at different times.
The Anaconda's description does refer to it being used as a frigate.
Frontier! Stop wasting your time on stuff we don't need!
also
buff the Corvette!
Doesn't take long to do though. Time "wasted" is minimal.
People like buffs and making people happy is not time wasted.
Not saying the corvette needs a buff, but as the dedicated combat ship of the big 3 (well T10 and Beluga too I guess) it has no great combat advantage because huge weapons have no real advantage over large, and it lost its original loadout.
What I mean is this: The vulture's two large weapons have an advantage over four medium weapons because it can do full damage vs large hulls (is that still correct actually? I just realized how long ago that was). Once we get to large weapons that advantage is done. We have no huge ships where huge weapons have the advantage over large. Maybe fleet carriers?
So two large weapons can be better than four medium, but two huge aren't necessarily better than four large. Of course barring engineering and mixing secondary effects that might have you favoring more weapons with a damage penalty.
I can't tell which your claiming to have superior fire power, and thus, which will win.
Maybe I need more coffee.
you realize this is a pretty big "aside from" right? 2 huge hps and mid-size ship maneuverability is crazy good. IMO corvette was not worth using as a main ship because of the abysmal jump, but guardian tech made it much more tolerable to run around the bubble with.
