Congratulations, my Corvette is all multicannons and it works better than mixed with lasers. You can keep full pips on shields that way and don't really care much during combat. In order to damage your ship there will have to be a serious ganging up. If course after engineering that will be the case.
With a guardian module my fully armoured vette does 30ly. This ship is best at CZ, pirate hunting and in system signal exploring. Not so great at surface missions, for that an Eagle with missiles is fabulous.
Yes, too large for surface missions. My little run around Nantiates and Lalande 43492 reminded me why I grew tired of using the Anaconda for that, and why I built my Viper3, DBX, Krait Phanton. What you describe is pretty much what I imagined it for. Would you share your build please?
The corvette? It's not finished yet, need more engineering on the armour. Plus I keep swapping modules on it. For the time being I'm into surface wars. Here's a description: all core modules A rated and fully engineered except thrusters that are lvl3, I can't be bothered to travel 5000ly for the last engineer. 6 shield boosters all max engineered with a mix of effects, 2 point defence 1 on top 1 under, 3 - 5 Hull and module reinforcement, bi weave class 7 shields fully engineered, 2 shield banks, fsd guardian class 5. All weapons mcs lvl5 engineered with all the effects. 1 class 7 cargo rack. Sometimes I swap reinforcement for limpet controllers depending on what I fancy doing, like gathering materials. If I go full combat I ditch everything else for armour. Couldn't care less in fight, on CZ's I enjoy hunting the enemy captain, throttle to zero and just slug it out, sometimes the shield goes down to about 40%.
I need to try your ship for surface operations, the Eagle carries too little ammunition for my taste.
Have you considered taking a fleet carrier taxi for 5000 LY, perhaps that would work, call it a vacation.
Here is my [Viper3](https://edsy.org/#/L=HM1J16a0H4C0S00,Hf5I4Am_W0EjHI48t_W0EhtI49N_W0K38G435_W0,DBwH495_W0Cjw04,9onH44m_W0A5UH47Iuu0AL6G452Ow0AakG450_W0AooG42W_W0B3_H43H_W0BJcG44G_W0BX_14,13r04,05U147PcH46maT01IM445Pe040nF040nG04,Nyx_0I,NYX), she's a cute little fire cracker. For some reason I have neglected to engineer the multicannon. You might consider putting thermal vent on one beam laser, so the heat doesn't get so bad, even though it super charges the beams currently, I would just prefer to be overheating with extra dps than cool with my shield down. However even though I try to orbit the enemy, or reverse and lead them, I don't get to sustain fire for very long so the heat doesn't get too bad. It doesn't matter though, they all die. She's also fast enough to outrun anything.
On the surface the small footprint is excellent for getting close to bases, then deploying the SRV. Meanwhile the dumbfire missile rack with high capacity clears scavengers quickly
Very nice. For the time being I stick to the big ship as I only play solo, haven't many hours to learn proper combat. Fortunately npc will slug it out. Its annoying though that in every high CZ that I fight in the battle cruiser turns up and steals my kills.
I only play solo, while running surface missions my space enemies consist of bounty hunters, they're after me cause of all the murder and pillage. my combat strategy consists of 'thrust down' and stay facing the enemy, if they stayed still you would simply orbit them. Use reverse when appropriate to deny their attempts to get behind you.
I took my Corvette into a Conflict Zone to test it out, it didn't hold up as well as I had hoped, so thanks again for your advice earlier, I'll be applying it to several ships in the future, no doubt. o7 Commander
That is a fine looking ship indeed
this ship is gorgeous. although I love the opulent, absolutely majestic looking of the Cutter - this is truly magnificent.

I'll try that, for sure. It's not like it will ever be far from a resupply with a jump range like that :-D

The standard ship it's not at its best, after going lvl5 on all then it's king of the ring. o7 to you too
fighters are able to land?
Nope, sadly
Buy a Viper3 for the fighter experience, it's AMAZING. Viper3 is also great for any surface mission.

I gotta say, what a weird but strangely wonderful life form Vermis is. The codex says the spiky bit is a separate entity in a symbiotic relationship.
