PvP Going to make a PVP corvette, prob with plasma accelerators. Any advice please?

As above.
i am not going to attack players for fun. This is just for when I'm attacked.
methinks plasma accelerators may be the way to go.
As for the secondary weapons, I have no idea.
any advice from you guys would be appreciated.
Including special effects please.

I use mine for the same purpose, with PA. FNS Sleeping Giant
 
Cmdr Morbad flies a Vette and uses c4 beams in PVP, pretty successfully from what i gather.
Not sure what he uses in the other slots.

I mostly fly medium and smalls for PVP, but my Vette also uses beams with thermal vent.
That helps heat management from rails and SCBs.
I have rails/hammers(Was all feedback but have superpen hammers atm) in the small/medium slots and a corrosive OC MC in the c3.

I ran plasma accelerators on my vette for a while...they were nice against larger vessels and TLB+dispersal, or alternating dual-TLB, often annoys the snot out of people. However, the damage vs. heat vs. WEP was a bit lacking on my focused ones while the projectile velocity on my efficient ones made accuracy against smaller ships, or when under TLB fire, a major issue.

Huge MCs were a bit better and I might play with fixed long range or overcharged incendiaries again, but since so many of my engagements are fairly close in fights against medium ships blasting me with TLB, I've largely settled on beams as my primary damage dealers.

Regarding secondary weapons, I like feedback cascade rails in the small hardpoints, turrets with useful specials (especially something with corrosive) in the mediums, and I switch around the large hardpoint as it suits me. Right now I'm experimenting with some of the weapons that have just been given large variants as of 3.2.

In the end, it's really going to depend on who you expect to fight and what they are in.

Black Betty's Revenge usually does alright, all things considered.

This is what I'm using at the moment:

A bit sloppy with my new fire groups in the first video, but I'll probably have the hang of it just as soon as I get bored of the seeker and decide to pull it for something else...
 
Why leave that last 3 size internal empty? Couldn't you have stuck in a...I don't know...hull or module reinforcement or something?

Its not empty. For some reason, coriolis exports it empty on the sheet. I have a HRP in there.
