How would you use corvettes?

[Sabu113]

What do you think is hte reason to use them instead of just bulking up on heavier class ships?

[Foshjedi2004]

Corvettes are good as anti starfighter and lightto medium ships. That is what I would use them as.

[Dorkthehunter]

They are also fast. So they can be used with A-Wings for hit and run tactics.

[Sabu113]

Hit run against vents maybe? Cause they that they cannot outrun ISDs.

[Popcorn2008]

I would personally use the corvette as filler for a fleet. Possibly use it as Anti-Star fighter and use them to draw fire while my heavier ships attack.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

yeah Popcorn's idea is what they were designed for. so thats what i'm planning to use them for use as early parts of my ships then when i get my Mon Cal's i'll use them for Anti-Figther and Escort Service.

[Phantom_pff]

the corellian corvette also work as light troop transports.

[plokoon9619]

Corvettes have turbolasers no anti starfighter weapons. Thats what it is warlords its a light attack corvette the heavy versions are equiped with twice as much turbolasers.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

it says EVERYWHERE That they are Anti-Stargfighter in this Game.

[rogueace127]

Hmm, I was under the impression that corvettes were multi-purpose ships that can carry supplies, troops, etc. At least that's what it says on the official site.

[Guest JediIgor]

it says EVERYWHERE That they are Anti-Stargfighter in this Game.

 

Yes, well that will be fixed in a mod because every single game has had the *Lancer* as the anti-starfighter ship.

[Deadeye31_pff]

the anti-fighter ship for the Imps but the rebels have been using corvettes for antifighter work since Rebellion. Even in the X-wing games they pawned fighters.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

yeah i agree that the Lancer needs to be added as well but that doesn't fit in the timeframe. because it was developed after the TRD was used on the Death Star.

[Teradyn_pff]

The mod that will add lancers will be extending the timeline to the end of RotJ first and then beyond.

 

Yay, LoW!

[Sabu113]

LoW has Horn thats enough

[maxdo]

i would use a large group of vetts to be my first wave of a fleet let the take some damge and when the time comes send in my heaver ships

[Guest JediIgor]

the anti-fighter ship for the Imps but the rebels have been using corvettes for antifighter work since Rebellion. Even in the X-wing games they pawned fighters.

 

Not really, the Gunship fits that role a little better.

[Little.B]

I think in the beginning they are the weapon of choice until the bigger captial ships come into play. But then they are still a good weapon to protect your crusisers from bombers.

 

But we will see

[Deadeye31_pff]

the anti-fighter ship for the Imps but the rebels have been using corvettes for antifighter work since Rebellion. Even in the X-wing games they pawned fighters.

 

Not really, the Gunship fits that role a little better.

 

the gunships are still corvette class, just given another name. And yeah, they were better. I usually sent in my gunships first to clear out enemy fighters if I didn't feel like wasting ships.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

cool thats a good tactic but i wish there was a unit that could be sent behind enemy lines and destroy the infastructure and lone ships thats what i do on the RTS Sci-fi games i've got they then more ships to where i want them for the final hit, could the Corvette serve this purpose?

[cmd. deron]

i'd use them as transports and last resort frigates defending my heroes

[JediKnightNathan]

the blocade runner i would install the sun crusher hull to it and ram all the imp ships and stations i can find.

that is after we find out how to add the sun crusher into the game

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

yeah Nathan its not Fast enough to do that the Sun Crusher's armour was Quantum layered if i recall but if you just built a sun crusher (without the torps) it would work as a ramming ship.

[Darth__Dawg]

Well it depends if corvette's suck like they did in Rebellion, but they can probably defeat something in this game.

 

That broadside cruiser is it considered a corvette because it sounds like a good ship with the long range missle attack.

 

Also, they are good filler and cannon fodder for a fleet. So yeah probably I'd have a few to soak up some enemy fire and to sacrifice themselves for the glory of the Empire.

 

Hey Lando!!

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

they won't 'suck' they are all round Corvettes that have firepower and can be used to land Forces on planets.
