Silver TafferAh, thanks for the quick reply Rayman. Looks like my alt Cmdr will have to be patient a little longer


Got one a while ago. Nice boat but as usual, you need to replace/upgrade practically everything in the stock version. Power plant is extremely weak, you will have overheating problems and so on. The way it handles the SCO drive is nice.

All MODIFIED GUARDIAN PLASMA CHARGER Corvette: Not so Practical.

First thing, my original plan to fit 3 X Class 3 MODIFIED Guardian Plasma Charger couldn't happen since the Class 3 are only Standard, inferior to the MODIFIED Class 2.

I tried to fir 2 X Class 1 MODIFIED GUARDIAN PLASMA CHARGER with a 3C BEAM LASER [FIXED] but it didn't work out that much, at the end of the day, I got 5 X Class 2B MODIFIED GUARDIAN PLASMA CHARGER [FIXED] and 2 X 1E BEAM LASER [GIMBALLED] Long range ︎︎︎︎︎ Thermal Vent.

The fit is awesome from 1000M to <> 700M where the positioning of the weapons become a problem especially against small targets, shot is spread too wide and many rounds doesn't hit the target, particularly when you try to hit a pancake type from the front, in that aspect the Multi-Cannons is better.

In short, the ship has tons of shield to spare although one of the Shield Cell banks had to go because of the 5F EXPERIMENTAL WEAPON STABILISER, I have a lot of extra Power, and experimented with 2 X 0I POINT DEFENCE fitted at the upper back, I still don't know if they really keep the attackers away.

I need to play more with this ship to be fully affirmative but a few sorties in Extraction sites allowed me to come to this conclusion; the Krait MK II and the Multi-Cannon Corvette weaponry seems easier to use.

My tip: The Corvette is an awesome ship for CZs but this fit is perhaps not what suits them best.

Need more testing.

Can’t we all just agree to have fun in whichever ways we like… I highly doubt that a new player to Elite will be particularly concerned with running decimal point maths to determine that they want a 2D FSD and a stat increase that would barely show up on the in-game displays over actually jumping anywhere with their ship.

I went with double shot frags on my alt’s Krait for the fun, not because it was “the most efficient”.

No matter what the game is, there is one formula for having a good time.
