Corvus vult drain

Feb 21, 2005 macguy link
I'm not one to complain about ships in vendetta but this I needed to say(not complain)something about. The corvus vult, top speed of 240m/s is an EXTREMLY good ship. But even with a heavy batt the drain of 75/sec kills it. I'd say lower it by 5 to 70/sec, and see how that is. Because with 75 drain, forget about getting to a worm hole 11k meters away(like the worm hole to sedina from odia). So PLEASE don't start flaming me for this, I just recently got this ship and I feel 75 drain is too much.

Please tell me if this is moot due to an upcoming update devs/fourm mod.
If so just respond and lock it.

heh, its actually usable now macguy, it used to be 95.

its supposed to be more of an short range interceptor i think, than a long ditance chaser, (perhaps instead of lowering the turbo drain give it a slightly higher turbo speed and just a hair more thrust).

Hummm maybe. And 95 is completely nuts.

yeah, with the Rev C, IBG, and SVG all having a turbo topspeed of 240, it really doesn't make any sense for the Corvus Vulturious to have so much drain.

Furthermore, a Short range interceptor doesn't really intercept anything. Flares are your only hope (as they don't use energy), and it still won't catch any of the fast ships.

i dunno, increase the turbo speed to 270 and boost its turbo thrust by 25.....(leaving its base thrust alone) with a heavy battery it would make a hell of a catch ship if you got it to where it needed to be ahead of time.

But we don't want a scout ship we want interceptor that can actually intercept.

Cent 2

Mmm, the centurin mk II CAN interscept but it's not as powerful as the corvus vult. Which is excatly I want 5 less drain on the corvus vult. That's all I'm asking, just 5 less. So like borb said, it can actually intersept.

Well, the Rev C is the only real interceptor. It has the speed/acceleration/drain to catch just about anything.

The problem with the cent mk II, is if they stop to fight, you're gonna have a VERY tough fight on your hands. Its heavy and it only has 1 wep port

I can live with a corvus vult that does 270 :)
