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. | Little more than slower, armed shuttles, corvettes (formerly known as "rookie ships" or "noobships") are the basic frigates that new pilots start with.

* Corvettes can be used to move around - they are better than flying just in a pod. | |||
* 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. | |||
All four corvettes can carry at least one light drone in their dronebay. The Gallente Velator can carry two. | All four corvettes can carry at least one light drone in their dronebay. The Gallente Velator can carry two. | ||

There are also five Special Edition corvettes (quite expensive, but a little bit better and with better role bonus than the other corvettes): | |||
