I have both now.

The Anaconda has better armor but lower shields versus the Corvette. The Corvette moves better and is a tinny bit faster. It´s arguably easier to keep the nose at the target. The 2 Huge hardpoints are well located and are really easy to use thus become your main damage dealer tools. The Anaconda on the other hand deals damage via the 3 large hardpoints, and the huge one is just an opportunity weapon at best. All the Hardpoints on the Corvette are easy to aim and easy to use, including the 2 small ones, while the Anaconda small ones are way in the back and below the ship. Which one is better? depends on your preferences I would say. The Corvette is an specialized ship for combat and does it works very well. The Anaconda is multipurpose and does combat alright, but you do feel the Corvette is more comfortable at it, moves better in a fight. The Corvette jump range is a joke, and you will not use the ship for anything but combat, maybe, maybe you will find a short trade route and use the Corvette for trading, but is a waste in my opinion. The Anaconda does that better and smoother.

The Corvette is not an upgrade, but a sidegrade. That being said is a fun and effective sidegrade, if you have the money and the rank, try it. But the Anaconda can do the same and more with its multipurpose abilities. As always, is a matter of personal preference, no choice is wrong there.
