The Corax is my favorite ship by far (I just love my VII-C U-boat), I really think though its not as underpowered as you think.

The Corax is the best L1-L2 dessie out there, and an exemplary brawler with rockets. In PvP, you use a Corax for rocket brawling and a Talwar for missile kiting. Even if you buff the Corax pg wise so that it can sustain a tank while in kiting duty, the Talwars' MWD bonus and bigger speed/agility guarantees that it would still be better for use in almost any PvP enviroment when LMs are concerned.

You can certainly use a Corax as a glass cannon support ship in sg warfare, and you can definitely use a Talwar for rocket duty. When you do though, you are essentially inverting their respective niches.

Indeed I run a corax that is basically a scaled up version of my kestrel (which can do level 2 missions well). I don't use a MWD but I do use an AB with a perma stable active shield boost tank. Eats level 2s like nothing and can do some level 3s if you play it well.


I agree with you on the PVP aspect. Talwar is just better setup for kiting with light missiles while the corax does well with a brawling setup.
