I do 100 millions in 1 h in massacre missions easily in my Vette, stacking massacre missions, without ever loosing shields, and almost never using the SCB.s. Once you get the Vette, you will NEVER get back to Conda for fighting ! Never ever ! My Conda is a dedicated miner now, well armed, with a 320 tones cargo - great ship, probably the BEST miner in dangerous spots.īut when it comes to pure combat. Let's say, to conclude - to compare a Vette with Conda, is like comparing a heavy tank with a medium one. Usually best NPC Conda do not survive more than 30 seconds - because the Vette has another heavy weapon - the legendary ramming ! When you ram a Conda in your Vette, is over for Conda. Hammers hit like a truck, and since you fire 9 slugs, you can hit consistent even small, fast ships, at will, at 6 km range ! ) Simply put, the Vette is WAY BETTER in everything, combat wise, than the Conda ! Pitch is far better, I can follow a Conda 2 x faster than she can pitch, the weapons hit way harder - I use 2 Huge eff, beams, one oversized, other TV, and 3 Imp Hammers with plasma slugs ( yeah, I put a tier II weapon in a class III slot, but 3 Imp. I could take ANY DAY a fight vs 3 elite NPC Condas in my Vette, but I am sure as hell my Conda will not last 5 minutes, alone, vs 3 or even 2 Elite NPC Vettes ! All the best upgrades, all tier V engineered. the queen of fighting.ĭid all the possible arrangements, shields and weapons wise. Some days of Federation grind, then I catch those burning / damaged stations, and the grind was finished in just a day - so I bought her, the mighty Corvette. Since I was tired of trading and started to enjoy fighting, I choose the Vette. Months later, with enough credits on my wallet, I come to a point where I could afford the Cutter. Was nice for a while, great at multi role, and I used her for, literally, everything. I sweat a lot with T7 and T9, to get the credits, back on time when tritium runs give you small fortunes After that, I put my hands on my first Conda - pay back time, I said, since my whole grind was painfully stomped by furious NPC Condas smashing my hulls 24/7.īought my Conda, engineered her to hell, then I put her at work. I started this game grinding hard for Conda. Lol, so many Conda fans here, ignoring the facts. I hope I helped you a bit and, no matter how well informed my opinion might be, its still my opinion. Through the years I changed between those two ships countless times, until I finally came to this conclusion, and my Vette is my "do everything" ship now. I have every ship in the game, fully engineered, and for many years I was in the same dilemma as you. As for the range, with guardian fsd boosters these days, a fully combat vette can reach 30ly, and when you get a FC, range becomes irrelevant. Why? Because of the better internals and that it flies like a small ship in supercruise (very important). I will dare to say that, if you dont count the jump range, its even the better multipurpose ship of the two. The vette maneuvers much, much better than the Conda, has much better HP placement, and a LOT more defenses, due to higher shield value and class 7 shell banks.

The Conda will make it much easier for you to get credits for the Vette, than any other ship.Īs for the combat prowess: Dont just look at the pitch rate stats.

This way, the day you will buy a Vette, it will be a fully engineered one, and you will have a perfect basis of comparison. As Viscera said, The modules are the same and can be swapped between the two. While upgrading and engineering it, start to aim for the Vette at your own pace.

Keep the Conda, which is very good for everything.
