+ +## Summary + +
+ + +The Velator is the Gallente Corvette. This ship is given free of charge to Gallente players who click on the "Board my Corvette" button while docked in a station. It has no blueprint and can not be manufactured or reprocessed. + +As with all Corvettes, the Velator is a cheap and disposable hull, but is outclassed in every regard by almost any other player-piloted ship. Gallente pilots wishing to advance into different hulls may want to upgrade to one of the following depending on their preferred piloting style: + Pilots focusing primarily on drones may find the to be an effective replacement. + For pilots more interested in hybrid turrets, the is a good choice. + For pilots looking to work with a fleet in a tackle role, the will likely be the next step. + For pilots aspiring to be proficient at exploration, the exploration frigate is an excellent tool for the job. + For pilots interested in supporting fleets by using Sensor Dampeners on enemy ships, the is a useful ship. + Last but not least, the offers powerful remote repair capabilities to those who prefer to aid their allies instead of dealing damage themselves. +## Skills +The Velator is meant to be flown right from character creation - as such no real skills are "required" to pilot it, and by the time you've trained some early skills, you'll likely have acquired several better ships through the career agents. +## Tactics +The Velator has a quiet, rarely-noticed advantage over the other corvettes: it has double the drone capacity and drone bandwidth. This gives it a possible advantage in the extremely niche situation of pre-agreed corvette battles. It can field two light scout drones, or one medium drone. +## Notes \ No newline at end of file
