Description


Designed from the ground up for combat, the Federal Corvette boasts a mix of potent firepower and surprising agility that make it a fearsome threat in any battle.
The Federal Corvette is the smallest and most common warship fielded by the Federal Navy, and carries out a variety of duties including long-range patrol, peace-keeping, pirate suppression, and even power projection in situations where deploying a Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser would be overkill.

tip: if you expirience lag when spawning this ship just turn "warp & reflections update interval" to off or low

I hope there are more Elite Dangerous ships coming to SpaceEngine - I would love to explore in my Adder soon!

I think it's futile to compare ships of different franchises, I'd rather have them be as close to the original as possible, but I get what you mean, the Expanse ships I've got got 10 times faster acceleration than the Corvette despite being 600 years older lore-wise, not to mention the Star Trek and Star Wars ships on here.

However, yesterday I pushed an update with 20 m/s² hover engines, so atmospheric flight is now possible up to 2 g.

I can increase the warp exponent to 12 as well, so at 10 km/s (which is the physical velocity during the Warp To command) you'd go about a light year per second, that should work better for the actual warping part at least.

I've also just had a look at the Corvette's boost acceleration and it seems to be about 80 m/s². I might go for that instead or a value inside that range, maybe 50 or 60 m/s². That would push the warp acceleration time down to about two minutes when starting at 0, which is reasonable, imo.

i understand you try to make it Elite accurate, i had corvette, but in Space Engine the acceleration you add is very slow, you cant fly in atmospheres, acceleration for warp takes way longer

Um, I don't actually own a Corvette in Elite, so if anyone knows whether there's maybe a difference between hover thrusters and maneuvering thrusters there and what they look like, it'd be great if you could tell me.
