OFFICIAL corvettes are FUN thread!

I agree- while corvettes are certainly too broadly useful atm, I do certainly like them in principal.

Not to mention I feel many are quick to forget that there have been a few beneficial effects of corvettes on game balance: they have added a reliable early counter to carrier capitalships and LRF.  Yes they are OP atm, but only because they are strong against  more or less EVERYTHING ELSE(and lack a sufficiently hard counter considering their mobility) I think people will start to realize the benefits of adding corvettes to sins strategy.

Methinks people need to remember that this is a beta and not get resentful towards a new unit just because it's not been properly balanced yet.

Really I think if flak countered them a bit harder(ideally if flak were faster/more maneuverable) and they weren't  as strong against Light Frigates & structures Corvettes would be fine.

Mecha is just copying me.  Did Stardock finally balance them or we still playing Corvettes of a Solar Empire?

They still need some tweaking

Mecha's thread is funny(and i got insanely jealous), I figure i'd add my 2 bits of silly.

I laughed when I read this. I'm glad to see that someone doesn't think we should nuke corvettes down to nothingness.

I love corvettes because they make RTS accessible to everybody - I only need one military lab and then I just turn on my happy corvette factories of win! I only wish I could find the auto-build button so I wouldn't have to micromanage producing them all the time. I like how they make the complicated counter system of Sins so simple!!

Corvettes are cheap and affordable in sins.

 Pizza unrelated

I know they have some problems that need balancing, but i like them for filling out a fleet

Actually pizza is also cheap and yet the best food on the planet. So I think it can related to corvettes quite well.

I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE Corvettes...

Gone are the stressful days of careful thinking in regards to fleet composition and microing...alas, all one has to do is build a swarm of these buggers and sit back and enjoy the show...

Corvettes are what allows me to stay competitive on ICO while simultaneously playing Internet Spades...without them, I'd just be a pathetic noob with no real knack for RTS....

That the Advent Corvettes sound like a bunch of 12 year old girls is simply icing on the cake irrelevant because why play Advent when you can have two titans as Vasari??

I OFFICIALLY disapprove of this thread.

As does Dante:

I officially laughed at the above post^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Poor Sareth , i see your deer friend not only disrupts your connection but also your brainwaves.

Try use one of this:

Noobs will always want  game more simple to the point u click once per hour.

Are you a noob sareth?

Corvettes need a significant rebalance, but they are a fun part of the game that I would not want to lose.

My main reason for enjoyment: They are the one reasonably sized ship that actually moves in a fight. Everything else is static, and rather boring to watch in a playback. This doesn't make them a good unit, but a fun one. A rebalance that places them as a specific counter to a specific ship with a specific counter to them would be good. My first few rounds I thought they'd be PoS. Then I tried them, and they are extremely OP. Having them be shorter range would help [Something I think Sins needs more of is a reasonable range difference in fights], as would reducing their armour and shield mitigation some, and buffing flak frigates some [Which could also aid in combating bomber spam].

Jedi noob to be precise. Descendants of the great jedi warriors but not so with the force..they can't will shit with their minds and they are not so guru like yoda.

@ quar

You must be drunk again, You aren't making any sense. 

@ riddleking

lol riddleking are you just becoming more bitter the longer you show everyone on these forums how much of a troll you are?

@ everyone else

I'm glad to see that there is a decent amount of corvette lovin out there! even if we are delegated to the lowest circle of hell.

Actually its "...a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater."

SQUIRREL CORVETTES!

I wooped Higgy_[_]'s corvette spamming arse by counterspamming garda flaks, with hoshikos and some odd HC's

Corvettes suck against cruisers and flak. And TEC flak is big big HP buffer.

Corvettes are garbage. With corvettes cant rush on fleet with flaks and Star Base. On this, they are not useful.

Few times i'm successfully defend my HW vs. 2 rushing players with corvettes waves. Just using SB with mobile flaks. If u defending.

If u attacking just build flaks with Hoshikos, thats really usefull mix.

(Reads OP and agrees wholeheartedly) --> Sulsurak Corvette pilot's laughter.

Brown coats represent!

Man..I like the idea of Squirrel corvettes...they'd be so cute.

shameless bump, as the controversy of this thread isn't as exciting as the "corvette hate threads".
