The FDL is actually better than the Python , given it is cheaper to fully Arate , and its increased speedagility means it has a higher effective DPS . Ah , I confused the two then . You are right FDL is more efficientnd while the rewardcost ratio is better for ships like the VulturePythonFDL they can do about as well while costing much less a ship like the Corvette can kill faster quite a bit faster and is much tougher . In other words , your creditshour ratio is better in a Corvette though your creditsship cost is less , and you ' re far less likely to die , therefore your risk is actually lower . Eh , I normally avoid using the ' Vette for comparisons , because , frankly , it ' s a warship , yes , but unupgraded it has poor jump range and autonomy , and the only way to reasonably get it and decently equip it in a reasonable time is by heavy trading , Bounty Hunting for it would just take too long IMHO . I was talking from the perspective of someone who still needs to get money , and the majority of people with ' Vettes are just having fun by that time . I think it will really shine in those battles against the Thargoids andor big fleet battles .
