Federal Corvette How 2 hull?

Is money a consideration? Then lighweight heavy duty hull and three HRPs, one MRP, like this:
s.orbis.zone
If money is no consideration (you have mined enough, citizen…) then I'd go lightweight reactive plus
two HRP (one thermal, one heavy duty) and one MRP
s.orbis.zone
(apply more heavy duty /deep plating HRPs if you want a bit more hull)

How can heavy armor on the Corvette affect speed ?

Your shields really shouldn't drop on a PvE corvette.
Then you are not having enough fun
When I want fun I fly something that actually zips and isn't invulnerable.Then you are not having enough fun
This is what I used until the Krait mk2 (zippy and vulnerableish ) https://s.orbis.zone/99ta
The twin huge beams are enough up to Python level targets, for the biggies add in the frags/MC/cannons

Yeh, I've never had my shields drop yet. Only reason I've needed hull so far has been the wing assassination target of 3 vultures and the FDL target. They use phasing sequence.
I once shed all hull (right down to lightweight, stock armour) for science to see if the agility changed enough to matter. It was better but not noticeable enough. Particularly when I noticed, on the last Vulture I was killing, my hull integrity was about 20%
Yeh, not doing that again. Same would apply if I'm going to take on spec ops.
But in all other scenarios, I could shed all that hull and not worry at all.
Flying skills and play style trumps every ship we fly in the game. Here's my Corvette combat build. Here is my FAS with a totally different play style gaining experience playing ED. Not much on hull reinforcement for the Corvette but the shields never go down in a CZ. I love up close and personal with frag cannons even taking a few hits. Fun! Your play style may differ.
Knowing how to fly then decide how to engineer a ship is what works. Too many players do this in reverse thinking that they will prevail. Thus lots of Forum posts when it doesn't work wondering why.

On mine I'm running Reactive Surface Composite with Deep Thermal Plating. With two 5D Hull reinforcement packages, both Heavy Duty Deep Plated and one 5D plus one 1D Module reinforcement packages. This gives me a base HP of 2,874 and resists of 34% Kinetic (4,361 effective), 34% Thermal (4,361 effective) and, 32% Explosive (4,229 effective).
