This is a pathetic attempt at reviving the swarmhound. -1

Also, vults are too small and light for a large port.

This ship is nothing like the Corvus Greyhound.

Oh, I concur. This would be a swarmvult, a slimmer, much harder to hit version of swarmhound.

People can already swarm and run with the UDV Raptor, the CVI is a fragile paperplane intended for Conq Station warfare intercepting incoming bombers anyone with skill has no issue with swarms and anyone without skill at combat already gets killed by players in vultmk1's with gov blasters.

Vultures are classified as small ships, barring them from carrying any large ports at all. What part of this did you not understand?

+1 Joyless why do you care so much? I haven't seen you ingame for a long time, therefor your opinion is invalid. There is nothing to prevent swarming and running, unless you want to "nerf the hog 2" or some such nonsense. Just get over the fact that some players will choose to swarm you and run and play the damn game. Also, dual gauss corvult vs this with megaposi or even swarms has my money on the corvult every time (pilot skills being equal). And where does it say that small ships cant have one big gun? In my head swapping 2 small guns for one big gun is perfectly fine. As Blaqk said, this thing is paper, and the stats make it hard for all the "noobs who swarm and run" to get it.

Also, how many times has the hound been nerfed now? Can we give the whining and moaning about fucking playstyles a break? There is nothing wrong RP wise from swarming and running, and swarms are a weapon that everybody can get. If can't counter them then git gud and stop acting like spoiled seven-year-olds.

I agree with everything joylessjoker has said in this thread. You would need to give the SVG the same profile as a UDV if you want it carrying large ports. Your stats also don't make sense. Just fly a Hog II.

Also, why Corvus? Xang Xi should have a dedicated ship.

If you're going to -1 at least give reasoning.

Are you sure that I'm not playing teh game as we speak with alts that you may not know about? Are you sure "joylessjoker" isn't the only account I have alts under? It would take an incredibly obsessive and dimwitted dumbfuck to continue posting on forums of a game that he haven't played for a long time.

You consider swarming and running in an uncatchable ship a legitimate tactic? My dear goodness. There's nothing about it that contributes anything positive to the game. It only achieves to irritate someone without actually engaging or fighting. It is NOT a fighting tactic. It is what incredibly unskilled people do to score lucky kills and make themselves feel good. So, should I just fly away whenever some swarms come my way because there's no way I'll catch him anyway? Fuck that, it doesn't belong in the game.

+10 great idea

At least explain why you think it's a great idea, otherwise it just looks like you're posting this on purpose to annoy the people who left -1s above.

+1 to Greenwall.....holy shit haven't seen you in a while...how are ya???

-1 to the suggestion though

We don't need ANOTHER interceptor. And especially not in Corvus of all places.

SVG, UDV, X1, and the hound can all be classified as interceptors. That pretty much gives anyone who needs an interceptor more than enough access to one already.

I'm not opposed to making a single large port corvult though. I'd fly the shit out of that thing. But bump the armor up to at least 8000 or 8500. And put the turbo and drain back to normal.

Only reason why I think this wouldn't be so bad is because there aren't any other light ships with a large port than the UDV, and it has two.

My reasoning behind making the CVI so light and fragile is because it contains a large port and more distinct interceptor characteristics. The ability to go 225ms should not determine if it's an interceptor.
