| info=The Velator class corvette is one of the older vessel types in the Gallente fleet. It was first deployed on the market as a fast passenger craft but the extra passenger quarters were later modified into weapon hardpoints as the newer models came to be used for small-scale security and military duties. The Velator is still a very solid mining and trading vessel. | | info=The Velator class corvette is one of the older vessel types in the Gallente fleet.

The Velator is the Gallente [[Corvette]]. | The Velator is the Gallente [[Corvette]]. This ship is given free of charge to Gallente players who click on the "Board my Corvette" button while docked in a station. It has no blueprint and can not be manufactured or reprocessed. | ||
As with all Corvettes, the Velator is a cheap and disposable hull, but is outclassed in every regard by almost any other player-piloted ship. Gallente pilots wishing to advance into different hulls may want to upgrade to one of the following depending on their preferred piloting style: | As with all Corvettes, the Velator is a cheap and disposable hull, but is outclassed in every regard by almost any other player-piloted ship.

The Velator is meant to be flown right from character creation - as such no real skills are "required" to pilot it, and by the time you've trained some early skills, you'll likely have acquired several better ships through the career agents. | The Velator is meant to be flown right from character creation - as such no real skills are "required" to pilot it, and by the time you've trained some early skills, you'll likely have acquired several better ships through the [[career agents]]. | ||

The Velator has a quiet, rarely-noticed advantage over the other corvettes: it has double the drone capacity and drone bandwidth. This gives it a possible advantage in the extremely niche situation of pre-agreed corvette battles. It can field two light scout drones, or one medium drone. | The Velator has a quiet, rarely-noticed advantage over the other corvettes: it has double the drone capacity and drone bandwidth.
