When running cargo in my cutter, the skies are full of Anacondas who want a piece. When I'm running cargo in my Corvette, the skies are full of free money.

[@bujtorm]

You're running CARGO in your Corvette? BLASPHEMY! Unless it's military weapons, war robots or other military supplies. Then it's only frowned upon.

[@McLoven-vm1ck]

Patrol systems with a single ton of diamonds or other high-value cargo in your Corvette's hold. Like moths to a flame they are lured in, interdicting you to their peril one after another. Nice way to hasten your kill count on pirate bounties.

[@Julianna1220]

might be blasphemy, but i find it funny to haul empire passengers in a federal corvette and or federal passengers in a imperial cutter, just sayin! and the occasional pirate to blow out of my way, heheh. cargo?, goes in my cargo cutter!

[@sierraharvester]

I thought I was the only one with a cargo Corvette. 500 tons of hauling, shields, and a distributor to run all those guns.

[@thomas_venieris]

@@bujtorm the corvette is my "goto" cargo ship. The cutter can carry 200 tons more, but has the side-effect that I may have died of old age by the time she finishes turning.

[@Tf2Strategist]

The Anaconda is the humble, capable and trusty DIY guru who can do a little bit of everything. The Cutter is the rich, altruistic, well-to-do entrepreneur with style and substance befitting of nobility. The Corvette, on the other hand, is the battle-scarred, grizzled, booming-voiced combat veteran who is absolutely ripped despite being in his sixties.

[@ultimategrr4480]

When I first started playing Elite: Dangerous I took a wiki walk to see what the ships looked like. And when I saw this discount Star Destroyer, I knew I had to have it. I put my nose to the grindstone for 5 hours a day, every day, for a month to get this ship and outfit it with A rank modules. Even more time grinding out Engineering materials. And I regert none of it. Nothing this big has any right to turn the way it does. The Anaconda feels like you're turning a barge and the Cutter has a turn radius measured in parsecs, but the Corvette makes you forget you're flying a ship bigger than a sports stadium. She floats like a butterfly and stings like a runaway train, and I wouldn't have her any other way.

[@bujtorm]

"The Cutter has a turn radius measured in parsecs" - best overexaggeration ever. And yet, it somehow is fitting. I always compared the Cutter's flight characteristics to that of a gold ingot strapped to a rocket. It sure as fast and looks magnificent and expensive, but only until you're trying to slow down or turn.

[@docbaker1127]

Yeah the cutter definitely takes skill to fly and control that drift haha. But my cutter is no push over.

[@jamesdinius7769]

As a nice point of reference, it is larger than a US Navy Destroyer.

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

For some reason even though it's bad the turning of the Anaconda feels right to me. I feel like a captain steering a ship instead of a pilot flying a plane. I'd probably never use it in combat tho

[@robertharris6092]

It most resembles a raider class corvette IMO.

[@bujtorm]

@@DarthWall275 better theoretical DPS, true. Getting all hardpoints on target, with the underslung size 4, 3 and the 1s? At least the Vette has only the size 3 underneath the ship. Add the Conda's lower speed, and WAY lower turn rate, and your effective DPS goes down. I flew both. For a long time. When the stars align right, the Conda does do more damage. But the stars don't need to align for the Vette. I would never try to use fixed weapons on a Conda, while a pair of size 4 plasma accels on a Vette are a viable build option.

[@AlmostLiveKaraoke]

That is exactly what i named my Corvette XD

[@CrimsonGamer99]

To be fair, that bright yellow gunship of mine is an absolute meme build, and is designed to take out the shields, thrusters, and weapons of large ships in wing fights or 1v1s. If I was in a meta prismo FDL, I wouldn't have the DPS to keep up with this beast of a ship's shields. So unless you're flying a literal cheese build, be wary of the Corvette, folks.

[@ribbitgoesthedoglastnamehe4681]

Look at the shape, the placing of the bridge, the trenches on the sides, the engines partly inside the outer hull plates. You have seen this design before. You know it means power, it means dominance. You have been trained, conditioned since childhood, since your earliest memories of scifi that there is only one correct reaction when you see this behemoth gliding over you: Fear.

[@DesertStateNevada]

Anthony Field - I dont know how long you'll last before the game burns you out, so I'll try to give you a few tips to make your time "easier". Mining is by far the best way to make money in the game. The sooner you get better at combat the more enjoyable the game will be, but without engineered ships youre gonna be on the receiving end most of the time. Highly recommend engineering your ships as soon as you can, and just look at the requirements for unlocking engineers and push for those goals. For engineering you need manufactured, encoded and raw materials. For manufactured materials you need to go to high population Empire systems (I recommend jumping between CD-63 201, Dimor, Hirapa, Benambo) and farming High Grade Emissions for Imperial Shielding, which then you can trade for other manufactured materials. For encoded materials go the Jameson Crash Site in HIP 12099, with your SRV park in a place from where you can scan all 4 beacons. After scanning all 4, quit to your main menu, log back in to the game and scan all 4 beacons again. Repeat this until your Atypical Encryption Archives and Adaptive Encryptors Capture are full, and you can trade these for other encoded materials. Keep repeating this process until you filled up all your encoded materials or for as long as you want. Starting from the nearest system/station with an encoded material trader which is about 100ly away, one full run will take you about 40 minutes. For raw materials its gonna be a rough ride, you need to find landable planets with geological signals, and with your SRV drive around and pick up any materials you can. OR if somehow you manage to build your ship in a way that gives you a 50ly jump range, you can get to the crystal shard sites in HIP 36601 planet C 1 a, C 1 d, C 3 b, C 5 a (these are biological sites not geological) and the other system Outotz LS-K d8-3 planet B 7 b, B 5 a, B 5 c. The first system is about 1500ly away, and the other is several hundred ly away from the first one. Its gonna be a long journey IF your ship has the jump range in the first place, if not, then stay in the bubble. In open play I recommend staying away from Shinrarta Dezhra system, in fact I recommend playing in Solo until youve got several hundred hours behind you playing. I also recommend ranking up in the Federation and in the Empire. For the best combat ship which the video is about, the Corvette, you need to rank up in Federation. For the best trading ship (Imperial Cutter) you need to rank up in Empire. It might be tempting to buy the Type 9 Heavy because it requires no ranks, but its a trap. You will be interdicted by absolutely everybody, and it barely has any weapons, your experience will not be a pleasant one if you decide to trade with a Type 9. Thats why you need to go down on the hell of a grind and get a Cutter. But before getting these youre probably gonna use a Python for hundreds of hours, and then an Anaconda. Other things that will help you big time are the third party websites called inara dot cz and eddb dot io, and for ship building coriolis dot io And also youtube channels like ObsidianAnt, Down To Earth Astronomy, EDTutorials by Exigeous and etc.

[@vladdrakul7851]

You do have a point but so do I when I say I LIKE the fact that this big ship, can take more damage and dish out more but is vulnerable to smaller dedicated war ships used by better pilots. That IS balance. Just having ONE ship dominate in all areas of combat, all the time would indeed be an utter failure on the games part. What you see as a weakness in the game I see as its very strength. You still get a lot with the Corvette. It can do many things if not all. It can fight and transport valuables well. Of course ships purely honed to kill should be able in talented hands to beat it. As in WWII air or tank battles, the plane or tank DOES matter but the pilot using it even more. I think it is perfect as is!

[@foreverspellman]

I literally watched all of these looking for this specific video. The Corvette is my favorite ship for any large ship engagement. I do enjoy my kraits for other tasks from time to time, but I can tell you that the feeling of pride when you finally unlock it, and do all the work and research to outfit it just the way you want... I've never spent so much time engineering, or caring so much about the engineering of any other ship in the entire game, and I've logged over 1800 hours. The grind was difficult, and more difficult then than it is today, but I won't forget purchasing it and absorbing every moment of the transaction. The accomplishment felt was real, and everything described in this video of people who's experienced it and loved it is absolutely true. I have different ships for different purposes, and even bought multiple kraits to have different outfitting for whatever task at hand... but I will never ever buy more than one Corvette, because all I needed was one. I'm glad to see you enjoying it and hope you enjoy it as much as any of the folks in the video did. It's definitely one of the most special.

I was waiting for this video for so long, I don’t think there was a moment when I didn’t have a smile on my face. Amazing work man!!

[@Dagoth_Ur_1]

In my vette, I managed to take on and kill a wing of 4 elite spec-ops ships and a 5th elite ship ganging up on my in a high intensity CZ. They all died before my shields fell. My shields in this thing (my vette is engineered to the eyeballs) have only ever fell once, and that was to a thargoid chasing me, firing yellow lightning out it's backside. That and a station's turrets of doom are the only things I'm weary of in this ship. A Fdl ganker tried attacking me once, that was funny, their fixed rail cannons were as effective as belly tickles. I'd use this ship for everything but I love my Dolphin, it's so fast and has near 60LY range. OA: "Hi guys and girls, my thoughts on the federal corvette, I don't actually use it" lol

I don't play Elite these days as I'm busy with other games ATM but I still love watching your videos. They are the kind that I can watch over and over without ever getting bored. Thanks a lot for making them! (Having Yamiks doing his thing at the end was funny as hell!)

[@halopersonify]

It's been fantastic to watch your cinematography skills improve . I remember your first couple of videos they were good, but this is great. I really like the documentary type quotes. It fits the grandeur of this ship.

[@drettipassetti]

This video is one of the best I have seen on KZbin. Thanks for making this.

[@Direrain72]

Being an Imp player and doing the Fed grind anyway to have this ship. I painted it white, put Imperial decals on it, and named it the Benedict Arnold. And yet, given the choice between the Cutter and the 'Vette, I still prefer to take this one out more. I just don't feel the weight in the Cutter like I do on this ship, it feels like it looks, and that feeling is great. This was superb, and I can't wait to see what you are going to do now that the ships are finished.

[@nuts_mann]

Hudson would castrate you for that. Imagine using imperial fighters on a corvette

[@niruk8636]

-"This ship is specifically only for combat" -One of the most profitable mining builds based on corvette Seems like miners have a hard time fighting with asteroids

[@docblade3270]

I love use mine to mining, big cargo bay, so space is not problem, and is easier to plant the mines in the rocks because it turns well better than the cutter or anaconda, beside, is fun when someone comes demanding my cargo or they will shoot

[@CedricBassman]

@@docblade3270 Aye, it's funny when someone threatens to shoot you if you don't hand over your Cargo and you sit in a Corvette. Since i use mine for mining too, from time to time, and i have a History of naming my Ships after UNSC ships, i named my Corvette "Do you feel lucky?" I think the Name fits well.

[@jamesdinius7769]

Really, it's a good miner? I know it has cargo space and way better maneuverability than the Cutter, but I thought the jump range would be a killer. Still, I suppose it'll work if you find a good run.

[@nyx7432]

"Who knew delivering mail would make you an admiral" LOL! That is sooo true. Excellent vid sir, you have rekindled my love of the Corvette.

[@hatsjer]

7:27 - Hold on! You can have more than 1 blueprint pinned at a time?

[@mdhutch2002]

Only 1 from each engineer, but if if you've gotten all of the engineers unlocked and ranked, you can do a great deal of engineering without ever visiting anyone.

[@monkadelic13]

there is a post somewhere on reddit about the optimal engineer to blueprint to give you pretty much everything blueprinted so you wont have to go out of the way unless you need experimental effects, but you gotta have them all unlocked, except for colonia i believe

[@husshodi]

The Corvette is a dope vessel .. i think its physical appearance really gives off a military vehicle vibe more than the civilian and aristocratic vibe of other ships .. i like the empire ships they are pretty but they are not as imposing as the corvette i think core dynamics ships look aggressive they are built to project military might.. the anaconda is intimidating in a barroom brawler way and the empire ships are like supermodels that know kung fu 😁

[@tobiasstamenkovic9628]

Its only semi useful imho, because you can neither convert legacy mods nor put experimental effects on mods from afar. So effectively, you still gotta make the trip to the engineer, regardless of weather you have the correct blueprints pinned or not.

[@raddysurrname7944]

beautifully done, thank you for the whole series.

[@chillichap8848]

I’m out on expedition and a long way from home. This work of art that you’ve produced makes me feel home sick and it makes me realise how much I miss my vette. I’m earning credits like mad and will spend many weeks engineering and plinking to hopefully create a beast that I can master. So very well done on an absolutely brilliant series. Stay safe and I look forward to your future productions. o7

[@omaracevedo4784]

Dude, honestly that was the best narration that I've heard in describing a ship. 👍👍👍

[@TheRealCatof]

I have a PvP Vette, and I've never once lost so far. And I've been fighting some Code members.

[@MrZlocktar]

PvP is all about small to medium ships or cutter. Because speed at fa off is the key to sucess. Corvette can defend itself to not be ganked or killed, that's true. If that's what you mean by saying "never once lost so far" - so be it. But if you mean, that you kill (secured kill) some medium ships (because no one will use big one in PvP except proly you) on it - i would call it as BS and that would be true. Because corvette can do as much to make anyone run, but never - to kill anyone but another slow af ship as Conda or T10 ffs. Unless they let you do it out of pity. But these moments are more of a exceptions than actual statistics. I personally don't even believe that PvP still exist to this date. Since, i think almost every PvPer is a Thargoid hunter nowdays. At least Thargoid won't log off on you.

[@anthrazite]

@@MrZlocktar Making someone run can be very much considered a victory, rebuy or not it's about who leaves the battle first

[@skytheannur6168]

The Pure Psychological Terror that is the Corvette, it just has a different impact that of the Conda or Cutter, just terror. And while the Corvette isn't the PVP master, seeing another player pop in and you're in an unspec'd ship, you can just feel the sheer weight and raw power bearing down on you. This was a wonderful series, thank you so much for it and I hope to see new content from you.

[@xTorhnx212]

What a wonderful homage to my favorite ship. I've been running this thing since i came out and it's truly the #1 GO TO for my play. Even with its shortcomings, I will take this over any other ship of it's stature. Also the ending had me cackling, that was amazing.

[@ThePingedOne]

that’s great, but it isn’t a T10.

[@bishopinskipp2113]

I totally agree, the T10 is the best ship in the game

[@enesyetis6108]

Although it's not. I have a type 10 with engineered fsd and everything like military composite Armour and all but only using it for emergency cash need with mining which can make you about 200 mil in an hour. It's perfect for mining. I don't even have a shield booster only collectors.

[@enesyetis6108]

@@bishopinskipp2113 It's too bulky and slow but the design and the look of t10 is the best. It makes you wanna go out from the tiny back door and light a smoke.
