To be honest, I was kinda afraid of selling my good golden old Ana' for one of the new ships but in this case I don't regret anything. And as a Federal Pilot I was really envy when the Corvette's and Cutter's stats were released... Oh boy, was I wrong!
This beast of a Corvette is a superb hunter. At first I had my doubts because in my Ana' I put a cannon in the Huge Hardpoint and was not really thrilled about it, then seeing the Corvette with 2 huge and only 1 large Hardpoint turned my down BUT two Plasma Acclorators changed everything. And if you ask me, they are not overpowered by any means, just balanced. First you have to learn how to use them properly and most of the time they are rather useless against small ships but devastating against big ships. It takes like ~4x2 hits to destroy an Elite Anaconda in a Conflict Zone and one hit with both is most of the times enough for a small vessel, if you manage to hit them in the first place. Just don't bother putting cannons in those huge hardpoints. It's just a waist of great potential. In my opinion the only downside of the Corvette is the jumprange... I'm used to a nice range of 20Ly so this doubles the time but I guess it's just a thing you have to get used to.
If someone is looking for a rather cheap multipurpose combat focused build, this is what I came up with: http://coriolis.io/outfit/federal_corvette/08C7D6A5D8A8D5C2c2c1f1b1b0p120404040202040000B03k065n2d2d2d2b66v5.Iw18Z5A=.CwBhrSu6K5hA I'm still testing with the weapons, maybe using some Multi-Cannons for more Plasma action, don't know yet. Would gladly appreciate some ideas in my price range from you guys.
Last word for some new Commanders who didn't pick a faction yet and are locking for a nice high-end ship. So far the Federation is the way to go even if the wiki stats irritatetes. And by all means I don't want to downtalk the Empire but the Cutter is far away from a Superheavy "Multipurpose" ship... it handels worse than a pregnant whale, needs over a second more for a 360 degree rotation than the Type-9 (!!) and the Hardpoints are very poorly placed. The cutter is basically a superheavy pregnant tradingship. On the other hand the Corvette maneuvers pretty good, better and faster than the Anaconda. Feels a litte bit like a superhavy Vulture and so far the Corvette is the second best trading ship, only about 100t behind on the Cutter. And you don't want to explore with either, so thats that. Dear Empire Pilots, the Imperial Clipper is a beautiful ship but I guess the most of you agree with me that the Cutter is a lemon Ship.
Ok, I'm out, fly safe Cmdrs. o7
