+--- Thread: Corvo vs Fearless (/showthread.php?tid=69351)
Corvo vs Fearless - Starfish - 11-29-2011
Greetings.
During comparison ship parameters i noticed that virtually all parameters of Fearless are equal or better then of Corvo. Equal powercore and maneurability, but thicker armor, more buts/bots, turrets and cargohold. A question: why Corvo then at all? Has it any advantages in comparison with Fearless apart from RP (Corvo - explorer, Fearless - ballleship). Possibly i missed something. Could some Corvo owners justify their choice? Thanks.

There's this little unquantifiable stat we like to call "Roleplay Value".

statwise - the fearless does indeed beat the corvo (almost) any time...
- fearless is smaller
- fearless is more agile
- fearless has more armour
- corvo has an easier to use weapon layout
the roles are vastly different though -
- the corvo is meant to be a deep space explorer vessel - equipped with long range sensors
- the corvo is also meant to be able to work properly with a very small team of people who are NOT professional capital spaceship crews.
- that means that much of the ship is simplified, or automatic
- reason for that is - that its meant to be used by small scientific teams.
- proposed crew size for the corvo : 12-15 people
- the fearless is a backbone military vessel but also a heavy supply ship. zoners use it mainly to supply their remote freeports.
- the fearless uses "normal" crewsizes - probably more than three times the number of the corvo.
- the fearless does not possess any long range sensors but rather powerful short range sensors for combat actions. - it can also not operate properly with a crew like the corvo
***
the new corvo :
- will have a visible sensor array like the ones used by sirian factions
- will be significantly harder to hit due to a considerably smaller profile
- since it is the only capital sized research vessel - it ought to be kinda generic to researchers and researching factions. but since its still a zoner ship - it ll probably just be MUCH easier to get than a fearless.
the new fearless :
- will be insignificantly longer than the current one - but flatter
- is roughly the SAME size as the BHG thresher ( arguably one of the smallest and a pretty nice cruiser ) - but it ll be horizontal instead of vertical
***
RP wise - ever since the introduction of the zoner whale - zoners don t quite rely much on the fearless as a supply ship anymore - hence the change to a more military use. - the fearless is meant to be an escort ( despite the rules that discourages cruiser escorts )
