General
The Voyager Corvette is the first hull you will unlock, and does not need to be researched at the ship laboratory. It is a Miner Rebellion hull.
Voyagers are very cheap and very spammy to use as they cost a little amount of resources to build and also have an instant repair. They are typically replaced by Harriers frigates and Genesis cruisers after a week of use.
Strategy and Setup
Advantages:
Like the Pathfinder Corvette, many uses after the Grand Rebalance have been completely wiped out as it cannot even outrun a Cruiser anymore. They are still a very nice hull for beginners until they unlock the far superior Genesis Cruiser.
Like the Pathfinder Corvette, these usually are also used as a decoy to distract the enemy long enough to create a good formation, though this is only for PvE and if you try this in PvP it won't work.
Disadvantages:
Like stated above, the Voyager was nerfed considerably in its speed so that it cannot even outrun the Genesis Cruiser anymore. Most lower level players used this to outrun slow cruisers and kite them and now with the speed change it is almost instantly replaced now.
The Voyager also has incredibly weak stats, another reason to instantly replace them with Genesis Cruisers instead. Overall, it is a low level spam ship that is easily replaced in a few days.
Setup:
