If corvettes in eve are like the car, then the eve version will also have a fast big engine and be wrapped in an ugly plastic shell.

It's true. The current weather forecast should give you an idea of how bad it is. Last night they were warning about the possible frost bite you could get if you went outside without proper clothing.


HA...HAHA... and Ha! -6c is cold? We've had days in Minnesota where the high was about -15c (+5 F). You all are wusses =P

Aw c'mon guys, I've been asking for a Corvette class to be considered since this game got out of Beta.

Throw us a bone Fozzie, is the introduction of a new ship class even remotely being considered?

(I know it's unlikely, it's just wishful thinking, but hey you never know until you ask right?)

So DUST Bunnies get Corvettes to hop around space and Capsuleers get MTACs to stomp on DUSTies.

It would make me a happy man.

Seriously, while the days of not getting above 0° F are nasty, it's only 25° F right now in St. Paul (-4° C) and the walk in to work was pretty decent minus the snow. HTFU Big smile

Corvettes back when the server dump spat them out suggested that they where pod controlled fighters shot out of guns. (no litterally they where fired out of guns according to the stats) then again this was when the 425mm Tech III railgrun existed to have chip slots in them. This is all old ancient stuff no longer likely the case.

I have suggested that they be fighter squadron leaders since when a carrier assigns fighters to a ship loses all the carrier bonuses. It would also be a cheap non gate capable ship to replace losses on the field without having to go all the way home.

Well after some deliberation the MCC is about sub destroyer size clocking in at 90-110 meters and the way the game is playing out now... I wouldnt think a corvetee would fit in the game proper yet.

I think one interesting concept would be:

Corvettes are a fast manned attack vessel slightly larger than a fighter, the pilot does have a pod.
Super Carriers can optionally carry a large volume of them in addition to their fighter compliment.
When pilots lose their ships they can jump into a Corvette at the closest Super Carrier and get back into the fight immediately.

How often does it get above ~60 F (rusty on my celsius measurements, havent taken chem in a while) in Minnesota? if the answer is "not often", i will have to move there, Kentucky has become far too warm for my tastes in recent years.

as another plus, if my geography does not betray me, Minnesota is farther from Jersey than Louisville, which is always an extra plus.

Sorry, if you move to Minnesota you need to be prepared to deal with temperatures from -25F to +100F based on the past couple of years alone.

well how about a ship that is not made out of trit as its unstable in atmospheric pressure...
