Need help with a Corvette build

[Codger]

I'll chime in with my oddball PVE build for multi-role and HAZRES use. I call this my mats collector build. It uses focused burst laser turrets. I don't mind the sneers I get

I launch the fighter, and fire the turrets at any wanted ship that comes by. If the enemy flies in front of me I fire the multicannons at it.

I don't bother maneuvering much when I'm farming mats, I just sit there in the HAZRES in one place with my collector limpets out and my cargo scoop open.

Be warned, this build requires approximately zero skill (which is about what I have, so it works out )

Wow, nice build what powerplant and capacitor do you use and how did you mod it? (if I may ask)

For the distributor you should only be using charge enhanced/super capacitors except in some very fringe cases.
In combat it's especially rare to deviate from that.

Your powerplant for combat should be armored w/monstered or double-braced(unlikely).
If you need more juice than that, the lowest OC mod possible with double braced (or maybe thermal for G4/5) is called for.
But that is a far inferior route to go.

Here OP, you can haz my vette. I find it boring and not worth the cost. It definitely has the worst price/earnings ratio of all my ships. It's good for looking at, I guess. Overall I give it 4/10 stars.

So nice everyone has a different view on iT. I love my vette and you dont use it. Great.
I love ED give everyone something they like.

To each their own.

Happy flying

The Corvette is complete easy mode in PVE. Two huge OC MCs 1 large OC MC with Corrosive, and burst laser turrets. Biweaves, Aug Resist boosters, G5 DD, don't forget a KWS. Almost a set and forget ship. Can do wing assassinations without really paying attention.

I've never thought about that.. the first compelling use of turrets! so you can focus on the collecting and still continue to generate more materials efficiently while letting the collectors do their thing. That's genius. Its not like in pve everything doesn't melt anyway with gimballs even.

Thanks for the idea!

It's not really worth the effort IMO.

Turrets just don't blow stuff up fast enough.
If you're looking for mat's, it's far easier just to build a shield tank, spend 60 seconds killin' stuff and then shuffle around collecting the mat's while ignoring any remaining hostile ships.

Agreed, but in my Vette I just leave the cargo hatch open and limpets active while killing NPCs.

Hi everyone,

I am saving (and grinding) for a Federal Corvette.
Want to use it PVE and was wondering what is a good built to start with?
Was thinking for these few:

1. Class 4 MC and Pulse (or Beam) rest MC turrents
2. Class 4 Pulse and Cannon Class 3 MC rest pulse turrents
3. Two Class 4 cannons (or MC) and rest pulse turrents
Internal will (at start be something like this)

But I don't know if my ideas are any good (note I will mod all eventually most likely efficient)
Or if you got other builds please tell me what is best for the Vette in PVE

Sincerely and o7,

Cmdr Janssen

PS sorry for my bad English

My personal strong advice:

1x class 4 Beam (gimbaled) efficient oversized
Pulse and Burst take way too long to deploy and miss too often
1x class 4 MC (gimbaled) overcharged corrosive shell
1x class 3 MC (gimbaled) overcharged emmissive munition
They run out of ammo nearly simultan due to different ROF, emissive is important when npc's use heatsinks
2x medium Packhounds (Seekers) high capacity drag ammunition + thermal cascade
I recommand to do the 4 weeks for LYR to get them. It's absolutely worth the time. 8 missiles with 1x trigger is good, up to 48 missiles in 2 seconds when making the clip empty is insane!
Blasts away all pointdefense/chaff/Plasma or whatever extern module you want!
2x small Railguns longrange feedback cascade
Seriously....there is no other choice for small hardpoints! The feedback cascade stacks so hitting 2x with this dual rail negates SCB's nearly completely. Due to longrange they have still good DPS

Gimbaled because DPS is good, but DPS on Target is better!
Against chaff you still have packhounds and the railguns or deselcting target, the beam is a hitscan weapon!

With this loadout i have a huge amount of effective DPS and i can shred everything in seconds! Also it isn't killing the powerdistributor, if you need to fly 4-0-2 because you get heavily pummeled, you still have plenty of time to keep the trigger active. 3 pips on weap and you surely won't run out of energy.
In most PvE sitiations i run chilling 1.5-1.5-3 on pips

Here is the link to my current Corvette. Never died in PvE, barely situations where shields did really dropped.
