Just a little "Did you know"

Did you know...

Mwari's Toad Skin L-Point is a Treasure Trove of cargo? If you're lookin' for easy plundering this is it. The freighters that come through are usually loaded to the gills with high-value stuff, but are never escorted by anything better than Puffin tugs.

The Advancd Patcom is, geneally speaking, better than the Heavy Corvette? It's true, it carries nearly the same firepower with slightly less armor and much more speed and agility(my current version's loadout is 3x Quad-Light PBC's, 4x Disruptors, 5 LDSi missles, Docking Auto Turret, Point-Defense Turret, Navy Aggressor LDA, and two T-Fighters each with a Neutron PBC and 12 Harrower Missles, oh, and it has the Weapon Link, too).

I'm new to the boards? Yep, I am. Howdy.

Ok, now I'll go away for awhile. Great site you've got here. More info than you can shake a stick at... and those Police Hornet Fighters rock!

When in doubt, solve your problems with antimatter!

nah....heavy corvette can not dodge as well....but it has back up systems and more armour.
In the normal game you dont really feel this.

But in Elite you DO. The heavy corvette just survives more often! its harder to use....ya...but it also gets better results and it can do more things. oh...did i mention the number of missiles i got into it once

Everytime I've taken the Heavy Corvette out raiding(I never bothered with the Elite mod) I've gotten my boosters handed to me on a silver platter. The Corvette's armor is only good for so long, then it's gone. With the Advanced Patcom I can dodge just about everything thrown my way, and not getting hit is more useful than being able to take a couple extra hit, IMHO.

By the way, how do you figure the Heavy Corvette can do more things?

It all depends on fighting style. Reams of info have been written through the ages over the 'light, mobile, and fast' versus 'heavy, slow, and tough' issues. In all that time, I don't think anything was ever solved.

Edit: Oh yeah, the heavy corvette actually can perform more roles in combat... it has more hardpoints than the patcom.


No confusion; just wrong or right ... Only Solutions

After spending so much time in the early parts of the game flying around in the tug and grumbling about it, I actually got reasonably good at the game with it. So when it came time to fly the patcom, yes I loved it, and it is nimble as all get out, but I was so used to flying a lumbering pregnant sow that the heavy corvette seemed comfortable. So I used it a little more often than the patcom. Besides, I just loved to unleash all that ordinance when the opportunity arose.

Shane's right, though. There's no right answer here, just play style preferences.

Sometimes I think I'm the only one who actually liked the tug. It just has more personality. I even like puffin tugs. Maybe I'm just wierd.



Scratch that... I know I'm wierd.
