Let corvette use its 2 disabled utility slots.

[Gordon Freeman IV]

I noticed in free cam that Corvette has 10 utility slots but only is able to use 8, they are behind the 2 usable ones. Currebtly there are 6 usable on the top and 2 underneath. Please let me use those extra ones. It would be awesome.

Yes, the 'vette certainly suffers from a lack of shield boosters doesn't it?

 

[Sysmon]

Could install some backing cameras in them I reckon.

What would you do with them?

What would you do with them?

Wild stab: 2 more HD SBs?

 

[Gordon Freeman IV]

I was thinking 5 HD shield boosters, 1 resist agument, 2 heatsinks (my build) for ax you could put a Shutdown neutralizer and Xeno scanner. And not have to drop shield strength

That would still leave it far behind the Cutter's potential 10K shields.

I noticed this too
in fact many people forget the cobra mk3 has also got 4 utility mounts on its 3d model but can only use 2

You wouldn’t, you would put more boosters or sinks.

They could enable those extra with fixed, non-changeable, utilities. Like a heatsink and a chaff

Yes, then the others would definitely only be for more boosters

Maybe they should allow us to use boosters in cargo space too? You could fit hundreds that way....

Would happily trade these to upgrade 2 small hardpoints to medium ones... Corvette's defenses are fine, it's the firepower that's questionable.

I think originally the smalls were mediums but FD changed it at the last minute.

Unlikely. Unless they had several Corvette 3D models with varying weaponry, remodelling the ship to fit different size guns (along with deploy animations) would take some time.

Ofc they will, but a full combat vette will most likely run a full complement of boosters anyway. since who's fitting chaff on a large ship?

It would have been nice to have 4 mediums instead of 2 mediums and 2 smalls.

 

[Arvel Yael]

A KWS and a second Point Defense.

There was a last minute revision to the Corvettes weapons, I know that in 1.5- Michael Brookes announced originally mediums and at the last minute they went small. The trouble is all that info is in the old forum and can't be easily searched.

I might put a strain on the distributor but it would give the Corvette an edge over the other two big 3.

Well, the Cutter is running 1 huge, 2 large, 4 mediums running on a size 7 PD
The Vette would be running 2 huge, 1 large, 4 mediums on a size 8 PD.

And not at last, Conda is running 1 huge, 3 large,2 medium, 2 smalls on a size 8 PD

I like nore the Conda tbh (weapons wise), but the Vette would had been the winner with 2 huge, 1 large, 4 mediums.

It would indeed, and give the Corvette its 'place' really.
