Hey, so I heard there might be new Corvette builds out now because of some new hard points that are out or will be out soon. I was wondering if anybody could help me build the ultimate no ammo PVE build for the corvette. Thanks ahead of time.
Best PVE Corvette Build?

The new hardpoints you're talking about sound like the new weapons coming in 2.1 to me.
It's not possible to incorporate these weapons into any build suggestion yet, as they haven't been released yet.
Based off how 2.1 will work, these new weapons might never be incorporated into Coriolis. Too many variables.

With the current weapons available you can try 2 setups:
1. For no ammo, C3 beams on both huge, one large pulse in the large, all small and mediums fit with pulse.
2. if you dont mind the occasional ammo run, C3 beams in both the huge and one in the large, multi-cannons on both of the small and mediums. This setup will also allow for 7 shield boosters plus a shield cell/heat sink pair up. You must have a A-Rated power plant and Distributor for both setups.

The only reason I've ever really found to have a no ammo setup for a combat ship is for sitting in a CZ for along time to farm credits/merits. With that being said, I've found that if you rely mostly on thermal weapons, but supplement hull damage with kinetics (especially MC's,) then you can still have tons of longevity w/o having to get to get out to rearm. The HFS Ares in my sig was built specifically for that purpose. I made my money by A) Getting to rank 5 in PP (Hudson) B) CZ farming with that rank 5 bonus. It was pretty dang lucrative, though a bit of a grind (welcome to Elite!)
*Note, I have those two point defenses on there, because, at the time, being such a large target, the Viper MKIV's were all kitted out with missiles and they were actually representing the largest amount of damage against me. I've been a full time miner for a few months now so I'm not sure if that's still the case.

Just stick lots of guns on it. The NPC AI as it is doesn't stand much of a chance against even an E rated Corvette 
I have to say the 2 huge PACS with 1 large beam/4pulse or all multi canons is a fun build to fly with....
