VME Arvakr-class Patrol Corvette

"No, we have Morrigan at home!"

The Árvakr-class Patrol Corvette is a heavily armed, jump-capable warship and the second Fast Attack Craft by V.M.E’s Gen. 2 lineup.

Expanding on the capabilities of the Mistilteinn-class, the Árvakr comes at a higher displacement, incorporating more thrusters, fuel capacities and onboard production capabilities, to reproduce spare parts and ammunition. This allows the vessel to partake in Deep Space patrols and recon-missions.

Set up to oppose stronger hostile vessels, the Árvakr is shaped around a nose-authority style of combat, making use of 3 railguns and multiple Artillery turrets in a centerline layout.




FACs are fun, so I continue to make more. This one aims to extend the capabilities of the Mistlteinn by making it more usable as an actual survival-craft. So I gave the Arvakr more fuel-capacity, more up-thrust to make it planet-capable, production-facilities and quality of life-updates.
This one also has a "classic" horizontal layout to make it more convenient to utilize in a gravity well.

Again, it's quite high on PCU and has a good portion of DLC-blocks. I just like to make nice things.
But you can make it more server-friendly by removing all the decorative parts and lights and replace decorative parts with plain Armor-blocks or remove them entirely.

The weapons-layout favours an aggressive playstyle, allowing you to keep railguns and turrets nose-hot on target, while using upthrust for evasion. Keep your dampeners off and upthrust at full throttle, while performing a slow-roll[en.wikipedia.org] towards your target. Don't roll to fast or you will overcompensate and lose your momentum.
Lock on your target with the railguns and use copy-target to fire from a safe distance at about 1km+ to comfortably dodge enemy counterfire.

Hope you enjoy o/
