I love the corvette. Favorite ship. It is VERY slow though. (Even with G5 7A dirty drags it boosts to 372 m/s). To balance it against the cutter (vette turns extremely well unlike cutter) it could have a trade off. Turning for some speed. If a cutter can boost to 525 the vette could boost to 490 flat and retain its turn rate. I kinda wish it also had a Class 7 FSD (its a giant warship its got the room especially without Class 8 internals) but thats secondary. Fdev if u see this please give the Corvette the only thing it is missing.
Ships Please give the corvette Class 8 thrusters.

That's not slow! Fly a t10 for a while, then you'll know the true meaning of slow.
No, hell no. I have just unlocked it, brought it and enjoying it. Please don't ruin it.
*I do solo pve only.
Edit: Given its firepower and the really not bad agility for its size/weight, the only limit left to make you think twice before opening fire is the relative low top speed among the others. Which I think is good balance. You can't just boost the F away when thing turn bad like in a Mamba.

AxFor its mind numbing rank grind i want a ship that can chase its target not just get out run. There are plenty of times where the vette's handling is hampered by its speed. In pvp you have no control over the fight as you are most likely much slower than your opponent. AX all engagements have to be close range and that puts you in the danger zone.
You are on the wrong boat then.
Not if you fly a T-10 right after a T-9!
I have had moments in my T-10 when I felt I was flying a Dolphin!
Give the Corvette class 8 thrusters and give the Cutter a class 8 FSD.
Can we give the Viper3 a size 4 distro while we're at it?
I mean, as long as we're building god tier ships here.

Many ships need a buff. The cutter needs a nerf, the conda needs 300 more T of weight, vette needs C8 thrusters (Its ing huge), Dropship needs to lose 180T,
Keep its great turn rate but at least let me break 450+ m/s. Its a predator. No good if it cant catch its prey because it has undersized thrusters for god sake the ing T7 is faster (430 max for vette, 502 max for T7, 525 for cutter) the cutter is 95 m/s faster , T7 is 70 faster. Thats not acceptable for what the vette is
all large pad ships need a nerf on maneuverability and acceleration that make it extremely unlikely to successfully dogfight anything smaller than itself.
they should be balanced to leverage turrets and SLF's for dogfighting situations.
Torpedoes likewise should be changed to huge size hardpoints. Balanced to do serious damage in a single hit to large ships (and if it somehow hit a smaller ship, just devastate them).
Large ships should give us more "battleship" type warfare experience ... Now that the game has SLF's, this behavior is possible. It's time the game was corrected to acknowledge this and leave behind the behavior the game used pre-SLF because it had no other choice.

Then why does the ing cutter do 520+
Nope
Vette is fine
Cutter is fine
Anaconda is quite fine (debatable finer than others due to paper weight hull, but still fine)
T-9 is fine
T-10... well, that one is not fine, but not the subject of this thread
Cutter is NOT fine. It needs a nerf or another ship (vette or T10) needs a buff. Its broken and is for smooth brained people who cant fly.
Cause the Cutter takes half a minute to stop or turn around.
Speed and shield strength is all it has.
Yeah speed and shield control allow for stupid reverski builds that break pvp.
Whoa buddy. Before you start throwing shade at Cutter pilots consider the fact you are in a Corvette and can't manage to kill NPCs before they flee.
