Can't manage my corvette mass

I have maxed my 1620 mass weight in my corvette. I have all utilities open under the weapons and many internal slots open and have no shields. What the heck man?!?

The size of this ship in my opinion should be way better.

I have no idea how one could fill everything and come under the max mass. I know the mass changes but man I don't get it. I need some seriously serious help please.

And truly thank you all.

Do you mean power? I'm a little confused. If it's to do with power, u will have to organise you're modules and put them into groups.

its best to start in this order , power plant / distributer / shields / thrusters / FSD / D rated life support and sensors / then install weapons and whatever else you fancy and you should be good to go
turn off cargo hatch , this ship is a powerhouse , i'm surprised you're having trouble with it

Did he say he's maxed out the thrusters though.

He said he's maxed the mass his thrusters can handle. Never stated he's maxed the thrusters. If he has maxed the thrusters, then he needs lighter parts.

Hang on, you're using 6d thrusters. Upgrade to class 7 and you'll be fine.

Miko right lol.
I'm talking about ship hull mas I think it is. You know? Its at 1620/1620 mass and I can't add anything else.

Well as everyone has said, the thrusters are your limit, so you need to fit the Corvette with thrusters capable of handling of heavier ship.

My Corvette weighs 1963 tonnes and maximum load is 3240 tonnes with A7 thrusters.

Bottom line, the ship isn't a dud, you just need to fit her with the appropriate parts.

You have clearly put on either bulkheads or too many hull reinforcements or B class modules perhaps. Point is, at your current capacity, you need to fit her appropriately and with at least class 7 thrusters.

By the sounds of it you downgraded her to class D6 thrusters. Big mistake.

What modules are you running? My armed trader 'vette has a mass of 1426t, with a full weapons loadout & military bulkheads, 1620t seems excessively high.

Parts.
Pulse laser in huge. F3/4 x 2
Pulse laser in large F3/3
Beam laser in medium D2/2 x2
Pulse laser in small G1/1 x2
All utilities empty.

Internal.
Light weight alloy.
Power plant A 7/8
Thrusters D 6/7
FSD A 6/6. Is this all it can do? :(
Life support D 5/5

as other have said - you need CLASS 7 d-class thrusters.

even a shieldless, weaponless corvette with undersized powerdistributor, no weapons etc, no shield, but all cargo. will have more mass than class 6D thrusters can handle.

If I were you I would put the Vette back in the hangar and come back to it when you can afford to rig it correctly.
You appear to be seriously under funded for a ship like this.

It does just fine for 608 ton cargo and no shields. I make bank in my route. But with less weapons.

I'm experimenting with parts.

OP we have all clearly identified the problem you're having so you really need to understand that you require at minimum D7 thrusters which cost less than 2 million to fit if I remember correctly. If you cannot fit these then you most certainly do not have the rebuy to cover the insurance of the ship itself, so tuck the ship away and work with a ship you can operate fully at the moment.

I can get the thrusters and don't have other ships to use for trade. Only have the free sidewinder and imperial eagle. I wanted the vette so I got it. Now building it bit by bit.

here you go - trading corvette with 12.81 ly jumprange: http://coriolis.io/outfit/federal_c...Iw18SAMOUA==.IwBhrSuneI==?bn=Trading Corvette

my personal opinion: you'll be better off, if you strip the hull, and get a t9 for your trade route... but anyways.

Oh ya. Thanks for the help. Truly amazed at what this ship is capable of. I just didn't know about the thrusters. I thought that was only for moving and didn't help with weight.
