PvP Yes, your Corvette is slow

[fu9ar]

The Corvette is currently the most powerful and effective large combat ship in the game. If your response to a combat vessel is to fly a ship without guns and run away then the Corvette basically "wins" that engagement by virtue of area denial even if you manage to escape. Fortunately the Corvette (along with any of the large ships) also carries a large dual SLF hangar and can support two heavily-armed SLFs that can both catch and destroy any smaller ships that can outrun the Corvette.



It's really cute that you don't think that a pair of fixed plasma repeater Condors (or any of the other SLFs) can damage and destroy an Orca, particularly if they are both flown by skilled multicrew CMDRs and using appropriate evasion techniques. Even a non-multicrew loadout using a high-level NPC SLF (i.e., Dangerous or higher rank) is going to be more than capable of inflicting damage on a larger ship and I can cycle one of those pilots out almost continually with a dual SLF bay even if you can destroy the individual fighters on a regular basis.

I will boost away and fly off. My mission is never going to be to fight you. If you are counting those as victories, that's just pathetic, dude.

This thread isn't about combat. It's about speed. Get with the program.

Now MC Hammer is playing in my head. Thanks for that.

It was the Benny Hill theme for me
