- Greetings Commanders,
Welcome to my PVE Federal Corvette build video.
This all 'Beam Laser' build was inspired by one of my subscribers, when I was asked to make a PVE Corvette with either Multi-Cannons, Laser Mix or full Beam Laser .
In this video, you will see the full build walkthrough, along with about 5 minutes of footage in a High Intensity Conflict Zone.
Hope you enjoy the video.
O7 Commanders. :)

You could change the experimental on the powerplant from monstered to thermal spread. You'll gain even better thermal efficiency, and by setting the cargo scoop and guardian FSD booster to a lower priority, it will shut them down while weapons are deployed. You won't need them during combat.
Good advice Commander.😊
To everyone reading this, please remember none of my builds are set in stone, they are all just "build guides" and improvements can always be made 👍
Thanks! Your advice helped much
Lowering the priority will only shut them down if his power plant exceeds the limit.
@halopcdraco yes, because OP suggested thermal spread.
Simple yet strongly effective. I love it!
Thank you, Commander. I installed the guns according to your guide - they work perfectly, do not get hot. but I had to change the power plant setting to thermal spread, also i changed shield and a shield boosters settings to resistances and used more Guardians Shield Reinforcements. NPC are shocked 😁
Superb Commander 👍🏻
Great build!
I have done similar, but I use a class 1 emissive pulse to help keep the gimbles on target, and I add a class 3 high capacity/corrosive multi-cannon on a second fire group that I switch over to after the target shield goes down, this allows me to take the hull down much faster.

I like those ideas Jasper and I have built similar ships in the past. 👍
On this occasion I just wanted to go all out on Beams, and it's still overkill for PVE. You should see how ships just melt in seconds in Haz Res Sites, here in the CZ they are a lot tougher 😅
This was actually very helpful and to the point. Nice. Now to grind fed rank 😭
Perfect timing too
Thank you for the build and nice video. I have two questions: 1- could it work with two big burst lasers? I just like the feel of the weapon, but if it's too bad in comparison with the beam laser I won't take it (at least for now) and 2- in your opinion is there a "best" fighter?
Burst lasers would be much less taxing for the distributor, however the beams deal about 25% more d.p.s.
My favourite fighter is the one in the video (Taipan), it's the slowest but also the toughest. 👍
Im tempted to get back into the game after a long time.
Kinda tempted to do this with my old corvette, but go all Long Range, since the damage profile is nice.
I chose mostly Efficient because it's much better on the distributor and when fighting NPC's they always fight you at close range anyway, so no need to worry about damage fall off. 😎
@@eliteengineerdaz have you tried canons? Would a all cannon FDL work, or just pure memes?
@@Mandarolin I've not experimented much with Cannons TBH , so I can't really comment.
Dat TTS voice though
Just unlocked my cutter an hr ago for mineing time to start the grind again for that corvette
After just grinding for the Corvette, there ain't no way in hell I'm doing it again for the Cutter.
@@OneBiteoftheCherry it's worth it
@@Rhec22 I believe you. I just don't want the cutter enough to justify it.
@@OneBiteoftheCherryI remember when I said the same thing myself until I realized the Cargo hold Is Unbeatable especially compared to the Type 9. When you feel the difference There’s no going back. I’m glad I went through the grind. Twice. !!!! You only need to do it once. So Just DO IT. I had to do it Twice. !!!!
@@juanitoraymundo53 Nah man, the Cutter just ain't my jam. I'm not a cargo hauler, I'm a combat and exploration pilot.
Hi, is this build still effective in 2024, i want to do a full beam laser Corvette too, but im not short of time and money (time for engineered materials) so i dont want to do a useless build.
Thank you and nice video !
It's very effective, although I recommend using thermal spread instead of monstered for your power plant. Also, play around with your shield booster engineering. I swapped a couple of them out for different blueprints for a stronger overall shield. Use Coriolis to compare resistances.
How do you feel about those C1 Thermal Vent Beams? Do they seem to do the trick well enough or would the C3 Beam be better off venting for you?
They seem to just about cope. Of course a C3 vent beam would be better at cooling. 👍
had an amazing anaconda build similar to core internals with this one, except I used multicannons for all hardpoints, my shields almost never dropped with the engineered shield boosters and cells
I love Multicannons, especially with incendiaries 😎
my corvette has 2 class 4 multi cannons, 2 class 2 railguns with feedback cascade and 3 beam lasers, 1 class 3 and 2 class 1, it shreds through NPCs like they are nothing
Turning everyone into molten slag
finally I got it... it's absolute insane in pve... amazing.. .-----. One quest: how do you manage your trips without fuel scoop? and..how to remove planetary approach suite? I cant... thanks commander!
I get around the bubble with my carrier and only use it around the local area, combat ships are typically bad with jump range anyway. However, you could easily put a class 6 fuel scoop in and sacrifice a Hull Reinforcement.
I think the planetary approach suite is something we all have to have by default.
@@eliteengineerdaz perfect! Thanks!
@@eliteengineerdaz two other questions...please: 1) is this build the powerful for pve ever? 2) is to having a super carriere valuable and affordable for an occasional player like me' (1 hours a day...) - ps. I made also the your afk type 10 build and it works wonderful! THANKS!
@@StefanoRavera3D @Stefano Ravera yes, this one of the best PVE Corvettes I've made so far. 👍
A Fleet Carrier isn't essential but does make things easier for getting around with your ships. I only play an hour a day for myself, sometimes less, when I'm not busy making videos. If you can afford it, go for it 👍
@@eliteengineerdaz ok! I will Go! Is there some best type of carrier? I see it cost much money to maintein…
Are over charge mandatory because I think I messed my build lol I have the 3 big lasers with thermal vents and the other 4 with thermal shock to inject heat. In haz res it does fine but in conflict zones it takes me a bit to delete ships, does the oc BLs makes it better in cz if so ill have to re do the experimental effect
In this build I have used 'efficient' with 'oversized' for max damage and less taxing the distro for the main lasers. The drawback here is range (damage fall off after 600m).
Personally I would never use 'overcharge' but if I did 'thermal vent' is necessary to bleed that heat off.
Nicely done, just a quick question... Why SCB and biweave and not SCB with 6a prisma?
Simple...power limits! I always use the G5 Armoured PP as it's the best for combat. Overcharged has better output but it's made of tin foil and overheats.I also like the recovery speed of the Bi weave as sometimes you don't even need to pop the SCB.
The bi weave is only good for low level encounters. Against pirates it would be toast.
@@lightwoven5326 not real I run by weav on my conda 60% resistance on all 1000 shields and scb things a tank
I've been considering putting small thermal vent beams on my type-10 but I'm still confused how it works, will two smalls be enough or will they be overpowered by the heat generated from my overcharged incendiary multis?
Off the top of my head, I would say that two small thermal vent beams would not be enough to cope with the rest being OC incendiaries. By all means try it first, but if you are still overheating add a medium thermal vent beam try it, then add another until you are happy. That's how I test things. 😅
Finally, use the 'long range' thermal vent blueprint as it seems to vent heat better than the 'efficient' one. 👍🏻
Also, remember with thermal vent you need to be striking the target or it will have the reverse effect and cook you if you miss.
@@eliteengineerdaz Got it, thanks
thank you for the build😊 if i want to combine multicannon with the build which one do you recommend?
My favourite would be Overcharged with Incendiaries. 👍
@@eliteengineerdaz thanks you for your answer. should i use multicannon with 2H slots or keep it with laser?
@@chouxcri3471 I would just swap out the size 3 and have just one. Incendiaries do generate a lot of heat.
@@eliteengineerdaz thanks you. I'm new to the game and your previous anaconda bounty hunter work very well XD. just unlocked corvette ytd but have no idea about its build.
@@chouxcri3471 Ahh I see. You could build the Corvette much like that Anaconda build no problem 👍
could work with 2 large beam lasers and the rest pulse laser?
Sure 👍
What number value is your shield strength with the 7C Bi-weave and G5 reinforced?
All the shield stats are available in the EDSY link in the description, when in EDSY, just click on the SHD tab.
Ahh should've been my go to, sorry about that. Thanks@@eliteengineerdaz
@@nick2062 no problem 😎👍🏻
hull: 😃
shields: 🌚
Lots of great info in here, but am I the only one who can't stand text to speech voices?
I can absolutely assure you that no matter what your voice sounds like, it's better than some pre-recorded stuff regurgitated over footage you put time into recording.
If it's an anonymity thing, perhaps some kind of light voice changer? It'd still be better! Good luck, and remember to fly dangerously, Commander! o7
It's more of an anxiety thing than anything else. But I am aware that not doing my own voice overs is holding my channel back. It may happen one day soon Commander. 👍
@@eliteengineerdaz I completely understand as I don't really like the way my voice sounds. But very few AI's or whatever programs can enunciate and speak correctly. I'd even listen to broken English over this. I guess it's being worn out on all the tiktoks and such these days. Beautiful build BTW, I absolutely love my Plasma Corvette even though it isn't meta. Hahaha
I got one question, the thermal vent lasers are 4 instead of 5, I was wondering if there is any reason for that? power draw?
No, it's just what I had in stock and they still provide plenty of range. You could go to grade 5 if you wanted, but it would be a waste of materials in my humble opinion.
@@eliteengineerdaz Oh good, I got ocd about having non grade 5 stuff on my ship if it ain't absolutely necessary. I engineer ships as a hobby.
@@brandonjustus9954 yeah, I never go grade 5 or even grade 4 unless it's necessary. Better to save those precious materials for where it does matter 👍
hi, I'd like to try it but I have no accesso to grade 5 beam laser (only 3) , and I do not have any guardian component... Should I try ???
The ship is way overpowered for PVE in its current form, so it should still be effective even with grade 3 beams and no guardian mods. 👍
@@eliteengineerdaz thanks! How to unlock grande 5 eng for beam laser? It seams to be very far away from the bubble (22.000ly…😅)
@@StefanoRavera3D No you don't need to go all the way out there. You just need to unlock Broo Tarquin in the bubble. 👍
@@eliteengineerdaz thanks! I will look..! Thanks Commander👨✈️
can this build last throughput an entire fight in HighCZ? shield wise will have time to charge when attacked by multiple ships? also why add so much armor ,if u will loose shield it's not that u can reboot under fire and just to escape u can make do without, why not more shields instead?
Throughout the whole fight, my shield only went as low as about 78%, then I popped a SCB. Finished off with well over 90% shields. The armour is there as back up 👍
@@eliteengineerdaz thanks for the info, means u can add more shield and not worry about hull
@@hoodini6707 Your just limited on power, unless you go Overcharged which I hate as it runs too hot 👍
@@eliteengineerdaz i see, yes build is on the edge of the power limit, u can add another guardian booster if u turn off cargo hatch and another if u disable more stuff
@@hoodini6707 You could drop the Guardian FSD booster too if you prefer more shields over the jump range. 👍
Not too crazy about all gimbals. Especially when targeting a small ship that stays close by and uses chaff.
When they chaff you, just remove the target lock and aim like fixed weapons 👍🏻
@@eliteengineerdaz - Not my favorite for the fixed weapons. I prefer plasma and rail.
Also switching the target focus is a bit of a pain.
Yet there's no getting away from doing as you suggest. 👍 I have my laser/multis all gimballed and it is going fine.
So modified do more damage?
Modified what?
@@eliteengineerdaz modified shard cannons :)
@@se-xk6kz sorry you lost me as you're commenting on my all beam laser Corvette build. 😅
I believe standard Shard Cannons do more damage than Modified but the range sucks especially as they come in class 3. Modified Shards are the best way 👍
How many credits did this cost you? I'd like to test it out lol
About 600 million!
@ELITE Engineer Daz oh Christ, time to start getting credits then 😂😂
@@Lev069 😂😂
@@Lev069 money doesn’t matter in this game, for a day of flights through exobiology I get about 1 billion credits. engineering materials - that's the problem. it takes a lot of time.

Love the gay Canadian robot, mis-emphasizing every syllable. Gilbert Gottfried would be less annoying
Believe me when I say, it's still better than my own voice.😩
When I record myself, I feel awkward, a bit like leaving an answer phone message, that's kind of how I feel when I try, because I'm essentially just talking to myself. The result sounds like I'm fed up, which is hardly inspiring to viewers. 😔
It's definitely harder than you think to do voice acting with any flair.
So I'm sorry to say that the 'Gay Canadian Robot' is here to stay for a little while longer. 😎
Absolutely crap guide. U dont have fuel scoop, no 2 cell and 7 hangar lmao for what reason u need that many planes?
Why does it need a fuel scoop? This isn't an exploration ship! Two SCB's are overkill, even one is as I barely use it, remember this is only for PVE. Lastly I have no clue what you mean by 7 Hangar? This ship has a 6 Hangar fitted! 🙄
Corvette is a carrier based PVE barge. It can act as a patrol cruiser... but hell, dont waste your time.
This build is good for low pve. Corvette is designed to be a shield and armour tank. With use of a Prismo, you can run high combat zones solo far easier than a bi weave and in Pirate missions with fully engineered npc's they would shred the bi weave in 10 seconds. A Prismo with high resistance will have a total shield strength of over 30k with scb's. The use of reinforced on a pve Corvette is a waste, it is best to use Thermal Multiweave as this makes it easier to balance resistance with 2 HD SC and the rest resistance Aug with force block. Armour is a matter of choice, but can get to stupid resistances with the right build. I am guessing as I haven't looked at edsy on this build that you have about 7-11 seconds for full discharge.
@@lightwoven5326 so maybe share your build?
Thank you for the build and nice video. I have two questions: 1- could it work with two big burst lasers? I just like the feel of the weapon, but if it's too bad in comparison with the beam laser I won't take it (at least for now) and 2- in your opinion is there a "best" fighter?
The only fighters I use are the Guardian Javelins. It hits hard both shield and hull.
