Ships Engineering the old Corvette (farewell Empire scum)

[Sysmon]

After a mucking about with huge plasma cannons on the old Corvette, I decided to go for a laser build. Well, laser and rail build. Two huge fixed grade 5 efficient lasers up top, modded for further efficiency. Added three turreted lasers below, modded with thermal conduits. How do I heat them up to go bang better? A couple of rail guns, of course. Fun times. The idea is to keep heat around 100% to make best use out of the three conduit lasers, and I get to have a quiet laugh with the super penetrators.

Anyone else have experience with such build? Most fun I had was having to find heat vanes. Apparently Clippers drop them. And here I was murdering T-7 traders when all I had to do was waylay empire scum convoys.

When you change the c3 laser turret to a corrosive multicannon, you're pretty much golden.

That's the one I use.

Coincidentally it's golden too

Actually, excuse the double post, it makes more sense to overheat the huge lasers and use thermal conduit.

There are Conda "Deathstar" builds out there that go mostly shieldless and with lots of TC beams and heat sinks.

Not a bad idea! I was trying to get away from MCs, too much ammo reload. But one can’t hurt (me). The rails ammo usually lasts.
