Nothing will beat the time when I entered a conflict zone to see a corvette who decided to side with Imperial, and a cutter that sided Federation.

Nope go to Ceos buy cargo ship that can land on medium , go to Sothis system next to it a deliver from Sothis to Ceos, (8,9Ly) and u can make some real money.. for ex. 180t of gold, one jump and here u go ...10mil of credits .. just EZ :)

[@Holmesy87]

2.5 billion credits, want super sexy Federal Corvette. Rank: Warrant Officer. Ugh, FML! -.-

[@JohanIsraelsson]

Fortunately it's very easy to gain Rear Admiral rank these days by running rescue missions. Find a station that has been attacked by Thargoids in Federal space and pick up passengers from the Federation faction and then dump them off at the local rescue ship. Sometimes systems where rescue is needed are not marked as Federal, but they may still have Federation factions on the stations. Enjoy that Corvette after a few days of grind. It's not horrible. My tip is to exhaust the passengers (1 run), log off for 30 minutes and do something else, log back on and there will be new passengers. Or you can jump to other attacked systems and sort of set up a rotation and eventually come back to where you started.

[@Holmesy87]

Yeah, I spent 2-3 weeks just doing rescue missions. Kinda burned myself out after a while and haven't been on ED since I got the 'vette, I think of it as a nice present for when I go back to it soon. Inara is damn good for figuring that stuff out, finding the right stations and everything, really helpful.

[@JohanIsraelsson]

@@Holmesy87 Inara is definitely awesome. I haven't used my Corvette at all yet since I cannot decide on a loadout and I want to be sure before I start yet another grind. Good luck with the ship once you get back in the cockpit! I'm sure you'll love it. :-) o7

[@Holmesy87]

Indeed, it's nice having a community that can make stuff like that. Thanks, can't wait to see the melty action of 2 huge beams, just for fun ofc lol. o7

[@Asghaad]

yeah now imagine already having Vette and realizing for Thargoid combat you would prefer the Cutter ... yes i have BOTH now and grind for both ranks and A-grading both ships was ... actually not that bad as i did it by long distance passenger ferrying which is back in the day was 15 minutes of boardhopping followed by 40+minutes of AFK flight for +-80 mil per trip (and i used Vette for the Cutter grind too :) ) sadly i heard boardhopping is no longer a thing (didnt play for almost a year ...) so that way wont work anymore

[@dr.wigglesworth]

I used to think that too, but I got one last week and it is a dream come true

[@fenborggaming]

I just recently became a Corvette pilot myself. When I first saw it in the list of available ships first thing I fell in love with was its sleek militaristic design. Then I saw that it had two huge hard points. After much grind, and much upgrading (still upgrading, still modding) I am pleased with the ship despite its shortcomings.

[@MooTaters]

Just think about the rank this way, once you're able to get one you can officially call yourself the Federal Rank of Admirer of Rears.

[@rchamy94]

The fact you used green lasers makes the intro much more impressive, and great video as always!

[@NovaBadger]

Proud to say i finished the Fed Rank grind today, and bought a Federal Corvette, and i can say in all honesty, after a few months of on and off grindind, it is 100% worth it, it handles like a dream to be so big, it lays down pretty respectable if not unbelievable damage, and can tank hits for hours, i can finally start going into haz res and holding my own against anything.

[@scottishmando5921]

"I can fuck someone's day up with this" is a phrase reserved for the Cutter's boost. Honestly, fucking Feds man...

[@sabrejack69]

Yes the Federal Corvette is the ultimate ED combat ship hands down! Sure the Conda has more DPS but it's more difficult to bring all your weapons to bear and the Vette is more agile and has better shields too. The sheer destructive power of those two huge hard points is a sight to behold and will melt any and all enemies in seconds. Just a pity it's locked behind a soul destroying GRIND that will likely see you lose the will to play the game before you reach Rear Admiral and finally unlock it. As MIni said the problem of cowardly enemies running at the first sight of this beast is easily solved by G5 DD AND you have the SLF to harass them while you boost into firing range. It's worth noting that there are still TWO more ranks above Rear Admiral/Duke so at some point FD is sure to introduce even bigger Fed and Imperial ships so it might be a good idea to grind those final two ranks to "future proof" yourself. I Have a Vette and currently grinding for the Cutter even though I don't particularly care for it but at this point I figure I might as well own every damn ship in the game. In the end nothing is going to beat the fact that you can fly your very own Imperial Star Destroyer and if that doesn't float your boat then you are NOT a true sci fi fan!

[@CMTechnica]

Yeah the pair of huge hard points *melt* Tossed on a pair of fixed 4A beams, overcharged G5... gives me an orgasm when I strip hull and shields in less than 10 seconds

[@drpepper694]

Yeah, I have an anaconda built for multi purpose but heavily leaning on the combat side. You know, fuel, recon and repair limpets, tank biweave, srv. I pretty much live in my Stahlherz so I need to make her a jack of all trades. Corvettes are so wonderful in combat.

Those conex boxes that come into view at 8:34 in the video. Finally a good visual reference for me to understand how big this beast really is.

[@DutchDreadnaught]

The jumprange needs some getting used to after you had the anaconda, but with a decent grade 5 engineering roll, and a 5A fuel scoop it's good enough even for cross bubble routes.
