Corvettes: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

Little more than slower, armed shuttles, corvettes (formerly known as "rookie ships" or "noobships") are the basic frigates that new pilots start with. You can acquire a new corvette (together with a civilian weapon, a civilian mining laser and one unit of Tritanium) for free by docking your pod in a station where you don't already have any ships. On their own these are not much use for anything other than basic errand-running. EVE University has, however, been known to field fleets composed entirely of corvettes, more for their comedy value than for their effectiveness in battle.

* Corvettes can be used to move around - they are better than flying just in a pod.

* There are only a few other ships that have only a role bonus and no bonus based on a skill. You can fly them with minimum skills.

* They are good only for the beginning of the tutorial - you should use other ships immediate when you get them and do not look back to the corvettes.

* Later on, when you are experienced and working together with people who fly capital ships, you can use corvettes as cheap [Cyno] ships and fit a Cyno Field Generator I on it, together with an afterburner. But you may need to fit powergrid or cpu enhancement modules as well to have enough power and cpu grid to support both modules.
