The corvette is a huge ship so not surprised you can’t see what’s below you. Having a higher cockpit ceiling wouldn’t changes this.
Man I like my new vette and all but damn, the things I hate about it...

I can't wait. I just got Broo to G5 yesterday and he was the last piece in what I needed to make the standard lazors 'Vette build. Now I just need to collect a LOT of mats and stuff heh.
Not sure why you're equating wanting to see more ABOVE me to below. I just wish the ceiling wasn't so damn low.
That circle is part of the HUD and projected onto the glass of the cockpit, which is why it vanishes if your canopy is destroyed, so of course your nose doesn’t hide it from view.
I realize that. But it just looks pretty weird and ugly for me.
The belly gun is a poor place to put a wep. So l put my debuff turreted high ammo corrosive mc there. This way l don't fret about it...tot is enough to regen the debuff.

Designed specifically for farming mats and staying power namely not running out of ammo. She easily clears high czs as well as solo with threat 6 pirates plus the wingmen they count towards the massacres.
Fast agile and powerful. Can ram beautifully.

I love my Corvette. It's my go-to ship for PvE CZ/HazRES cleaning. I can loiter all day.
Things I don't like :
1: AGREE that the belly mount is absolute trash. If you don't keep the target balanced on the tip of the nose you'll never get to use it.
2: It's a big fat "meh" until you engineer it. I'd expect more out of a combat specific ship costs north of 800 million fully outfitted and is rank locked.
3: Jump range is atrocious until you visit Farseer AND add a guardian booster. A combat build without those modifications and you might not even be able to get out of the system you purchased it in. Not saying it should have the Anacondas 'magic' hull, but it should be better.

Nice build, some very nasty weapons there. Might have to rethink mine a bit.The belly gun is a poor place to put a wep. So l put my debuff turreted high ammo corrosive mc there. This way l don't fret about it...tot is enough to regen the debuff.

About your #2, I full agree, with what little money I had after buying it and upgrading what I could, was a LITTLE shy of rebuy so went out to a hazres with a friend in mc to get the few million to cover it, I was just utterly annoyed when I went from basically 100% to 0 in a matter of seconds in something I had ALWAYS heard was an armored beast with a really good shield regardless of choice(no prismatics don't @me
).I know BASE ships aren't SUPPOSED to be good but I really did not think something as expensive and COMBAT oriented would be made out of wet tissue paper. Now that she is fully A rated(no hull upgrade, gotta bit to go there) and engineered it's like I'm in a different ship all together.
I agree as well, that belly gun is just pure unadulterated garbage, all your power is on the top and everything BUT the gun you'd want to add to those huges is sitting there like, doo doo doo.
I boosted the shields with some more A rated engineered shield boosters. I swap some to D rated equivalents when I'm using a heavy power hungry wake scanner etc.
Having a beamset that both dps and cool whilst 2 huge rapid firing multicannons with incendiary make short work of the enemy's hull. Combined with a corrosive turreted mc.
Shes a destructive balanced ship capable of firing all weps simultaneously without heat issues or capacitor. All in volley can go on for 30 secs or more and the incendiary huge mcs take their toll...sometimes the enemy just explodes at 30 or 40%. Overheating I guess.

Long-nosed ships like the 'conda and 'vette make great cues for playing mailslot snooker with sideys
Are there any rules to mailslot snooker?
What bothers me about the Corvette is the inability to see the flash of the huge hardpoints firing away, or for that matter any of the weapons.
Imagine if the weapons were on the nose, at least the 2 huge and the large on the top deck. The P-38 Lightning comes to mind with a 20mm cannon and 4 .50 MCs on its nose. What fireworks!

I wish the Large HP was on that giant waste of flat space outside of the canopy, the Huges would take a lot of space up but the large would fit just fine there and give us better fire angles.
Pacifier frag with drag goes well on the bottom -)o7.
I love mine in VR, if you've got huge multi-cannons firing away from above you it's awesome.
My favourite ship to fly in VR is the Courier though, that mix of spaceship and fighter jet is amazing.

The large is perfect for a big fixed weapon like rails or PA. I ripped out the gimbaled laser and put a rail in mine and I suck at fixed weapons but it's awesome having the option to blast chunks off a big ship at close range.
Had the Corvette just like two days now and I'm never looking back. It's everything I wanted the Anaconda to be and then some.
Team Jupiter doesn't lose a single CZ when I step on the field
An NPC is "potted" when it gets itself wedged long enough or bounces off the station hard enough to aggro it. The score only counts after the station blows it up. Acquiring a fine yourself ends your "break" and you must dock and pay it off. If you acquire a bounty or aggro the station yourself that's a foul and you must leave the system for the nearest IF and cannot "return to the table" until you're locally "clean" againAre there any rules to mailslot snooker?
The scoring table is a little subjective but sideys count as "1" with larger ships scoring progressively higher
